I mercifully didn’t watch this one, as work and a peek at the hopefully-future-49ers-coach’s current team interceded. But seems like a similar story to the Heat game, albeit with fewer phantom fouls and more opponent 3′s.

Surprisingly, on first glance the net stats don’t look too bad — the Warriors won the rebounding battle by one, and shockingly outscored the Magic by 14 in points in the paint. But the Magic made 15 3′s and 9 more foul shots, while shooting a significantly higher percentage, leading to the 20 point margin.

Now the Warriors head down to New Orleans to face a solid Hornets team on Wednesday. Let’s hope that Lee returns, as they’ll need a spark to help them get over the last-game-on-the-trip doldrums that always seems to hit this team after a week on the road.

The Warriors face another hot Florida team in the Magic, who have won five straight after restocking their roster. Can the Warriors rebound from their tough loss at the Heat? Or will they continue the second half flameout that saw them give up a big lead on the road? What to watch for tonight:

  • Attitude. As I mentioned in the recap for the last game, this is a moment where the much talked about team chemistry could really make a big difference (in making sure they’re not flat — still not sure if they can make up for the talent difference). Will they come out with their heads held high, or will they lose the game in the first quarter as they did regularly during Lee’s absence?
  • Inside-Outside. The Magic can shoot the lights out from three, but then they also have beasts inside in Howard and Bass. That’s not a good combination for the Warriors’ scrambling defense, as they regularly break down and leave a man open in an effort to provide help inside after guards blow by Monta and Curry. This could be a chance for Udoh to make a mark playing some tough inside defense, especially if Biedrins remains out (since I have very little confidence in Lee’s ability to hang with Howard).
  • All-Star. These final games of the road trip could be make-or-break for Monta’s All-Star chances, as he won’t get many more chances to play in the eastern time zone before the rosters get picked. He definitely has some ground to make up — largely because of the Warriors’ record — but a couple big games against the Magic and Hornets could do wonders for his national profile. Let’s see if he can seize the opportunity…

The Warriors played a perfect first half: on fire from 3, freely running the court, knocking down buzzer beaters — but I think we all knew it was too good to last.

In the second half, the game regressed to the mean and the Warriors just looked awful. Miami clamped down on D and stiffled any flow left over from the first half, the Warriors’ turnover woes returned, Dwayne Wade started drawing fouls for getting breathed on while tomahawk chops on Ellis’ arms went uncalled, and the shots that went in during the first 24 minutes most certainly did not in the second. The Warriors scored less in the second half total than they did in either of the first two quarters.

It’s easy to blame the officiating, and they certainly deserve a lot of scorn — looking at the net stats above, the number that blares out is the -37 (!!!) on net free throw attempts. But Miami deserves credit for dictating the tempo in the second half, for driving and creating contact while the Warriors settled for jumpers, and for exerting tremendous energy on defense that was just as responsible for the Warriors’ scoring woes as the whistles were.

So what can the Warriors take out of this? First, if they play their game — and last night proves that their game is most certainly not a half-court motion offensive game — they can keep up with anyone. Who knows: if they weren’t on the back end of a back-to-back, maybe they would have had enough energy to keep it up just a bit longer and carry a big enough lead into the 4th to hang on.

Second, Dorell Wright has truly turned a corner. He’s been much more aggressive of late, and I think that really helps his outside shot as he’s able to do other things to get himself going if he’s missing from deep early. Before, his only response seemed to be to keep on firing from 3 or disappear completely.

Now they need to put it together for a full game against a quality opponent. Next up is the Magic on Monday, so let’s see if the Warriors can take the positive (perfect first half!) from this game instead of the negative (epic second half collapse!). Here’s where the reportedly awesome team chemistry could make a big difference…

This one is about as close to a freebie as you can get. The Heat dominated the Warriors in Oakland last month, and I can’t imagine that anyone thinks they’ll do any better in Miami on the back half of a back-to-back.

But if they are able to steal this game, it will be because Dorell Wright has the homecoming game of his life (on both ends of the court), Curry goes on a white-hot shooting streak, Monta plays within himself and doesn’t force any action inside, and the Warriors bigs are able to hold their own inside and kept the rebounding margin close.

Who wants to take a bet that all that will happen?

Well, that was ugly! But a win is a win is a win, and with a date in Miami tomorrow night against the Heat you can be sure that the Warriors will take it.

The defensive rebounding in the 4th quarter was just atrocious; hard to say you deserve to win when you give up 3 defensive rebounds off free throws in the final 12 minutes.

Have to give credit to the backcourt in this one — Curry’s four made 3′s were all big, and Monta got his scoring touch back despite a less-than-efficient 11-23 from the field. David Lee had a quiet line with 8 and 8, but came up with a lot of big rebounds in the closing minutes.

I usually don’t like to blame officiating, but some of the calls in this game were just atrocious. Amundson got destroyed on a layup with no call, that Monta offensive foul after he was clearly held was brutal, and that Diaw pass-to-himself that wasn’t called was insane — though thankfully someone on the crew noticed and gave the Warriors a makeup call on the out of bounds.

And as for my Stephen Jackson key to the game in the preview? My dream came true — with that ugly shot at the end, he arguably lost the game for the Bobcats. Happy New Year!

The Warriors played a 4pm game after flying across the country and…looked like a team playing a 4pm game after flying across the country.

Well, aside from Dorrell Wright, that is. Dude might finally be putting it together, pairing more aggression with his previously shown ability to get open and knock down 3′s. If he can show the same mindset on a night when the Warriors big 3 do better than 13-38, we could finally have the semblance of a hard-to-stop offense.

But that didn’t happen last night, and despite holding their own on the boards, the Warriors shooting cooled off, they got beat in the paint, and their assist numbers were way down from the past few games (though Curry had an impressive 12 dimes against 3 turnovers in only 29 minutes).

Now the Warriors head to Charlotte, where Curry will get a hero’s welcome but Stephen Jackson will be lying in wait to torment us. Let’s hope Curry and Ellis are feeling a bit better (ankles/flu and ankle, respectively) — this is the easiest game on the trip, and one they have to have in order to hang in there if they hope to use the upcoming January/February stretch to make a run back to respectability.

The Warriors start their 5-game road trip in Atlanta in just a few minutes. The Hawks haven’t exactly turned into the elite Eastern Conference team they were threatening to be a few years ago, but they’re still rolling at 20-13 so far this year — including 9 in a row at home — so it would make for a great start to the trip if the Warriors can keep up their recent run and extend their winning streak to 4 games. I think that will take another strong shooting night and a merciful end to the terrible turnovers that have marred even their recent wins, so let’s see what happens. At the very least, let’s hope they keep it close to avoid a big stinker to set the wrong tone for the trip.

The Warriors go for three in a row against a very beatable 76ers team tonight, and it’s a win they need before they head out on the road for a fairly tough 5-game trip. What to watch for tonight. Here’s to a better shooting night from Curry (and that he at least outplays Holliday), some rebounds for Udoh, no pangs of regret from not signing Elton Brand after Baron fled, and a first chance to see Evan Turner play.

Holidays and the new baby took up more time than I expected this weekend, so this recap will be short in the interest of getting it up before tonight’s game. Here’s the quick version:

Huge game from Monta, and doing it on national television will help his All-Star chances/trade value; nice return for Curry on the assists-to-turnover front, and a ton of his missed shots were in-and-out so he should get his stroke back soon; nice to see Lee making his jumper consistently; Udoh continues to impress though it would be nice to see him grab a few more boards; speaking of which, how did they get out-rebounded yet still win this game? Ah yes, they outscored them by 14 on fast break points; who knew this team could actually run?

Now, can they keep up the momentum from this TWO GAME WINNING STREAK?

Out most of the day so no time for a proper preview, but will be looking forward to this game later tonight. The Warriors face a Blazers team that they *almost* beat a few games ago, so we’ll see if home court makes the difference tonight. Curry and Brandan Wright are expected back, and with the Blazers still missing Roy the injury excuse is definitely out the window.

And for the Fitz haters, a Christmas miracle: a chance to listen to a national broadcast team that won’t just marvel at marvelous outside shooting by the Blazers, but will point out the defensive culpability as well…
