On the back end of a back-to-back, after a dreadful night in Detroit, the Warriors need a bounce-back game in the worst way. What to look for:

  • Lee Bounce-back. Lee has been terrible in the Warriors’ two losses. I think a double-digit rebounding game from Lee is necessary for a Warriors win on the road.
  • Curry Bounce-back. Curry has been a bit slow coming back from his ankle injury, culminating in 10 points on 3-12 shooting last night (0-3 from deep). The Warriors need him to take care of the ball and become an integral part of the offense once again.
  • Bench Bounce-back. After a collective -28 last night, here’s to hoping that the bench can give the team something positive tonight when they’re likely to really need it (especially since Monta played 45 minutes last night).

Rough start to the road trip, with the Warriors threatening to pull off another defensive masterpiece before succumbing to tired legs in the fourth. For the second straight game, their shots were off — exemplified most frustratingly in Curry’s missed shot to tie the game with 20 seconds remaining. And when Curry went out with 4 fouls in the fourth, the ball handling disintegrated and gave more than the final margin to the Pistons in easy buckets off turnovers.

Aside from the bad shooting and ball handling, I’d say the biggest disappointments were David Lee and the entire bench. Lee grabbed just 7 boards to go along with his now customary low-teens scoring, as the Warriors tied the Pistons in the overall rebounding battle. And no one off the bench had a positive +/-, with Radmonovic posting a team-worst -12. Going to need more than that to win games on the road.

Here’s to forgetting this one, and hoping that their shots finally settle down for tonight’s quick turnaround against the Raptors.

The Warriors kick off their 5-game road trip with a (west coast) matinee in Detroit. The Pistons are struggling, so this is a game the Warriors need to pick up to get their road trip off to a good start. Speaking of the road trip, after looking over the opponents the opportunity is definitely there to put together a winning trip:

  • Tonight: Detroit (1-5)
  • Tomorrow: Toronto (1-5)
  • Wednesday: New York (3-2)
  • Thursday: Chicago (2-3)
  • Saturday: Milwaukee (2-5)

Chicago is probably the scariest team on the list, and even they have been beatable so far. It would be great to see the Warriors pick up the first two games, which would take the pressure off for the New York and Chicago games as they know they’ll have Milwaukee at the end to get to 3-2 on the trip. But seeing as tomorrow they’ll be on a back to back, tonight is the game the really need to have.

What to watch for tonight:

  • Rebounding. The Warriors are currently 5th in rebounding differential (+2.8), while the Pistons are 27th (-3.3). Second chance points were the difference in Friday’s game against Utah, and the opportunity is certainly there tonight if the Warriors can take advantage.
  • “Defense Travels Well.” Can DTW become the GTL of the Warriors season? After holding an opponent to 78 points (and winning with only 85!), the team certainly seems to be buying into a more defense-oriented mindset. The players are saying all the right things, too. On their first game after a cross country flight, when the shots might be a little flat, can they rely on their defense to produce another win?
  • Finishing Inside. While Lee and Biedrins were monsters on the glass on Friday, neither was able to consistently finish at the rim. Ethan Sherwood Strauss has an interesting theory that the fact that they are both lefties is causing an adjustment period as they both crash the same side of the rim, though Biedrins is fairly insistent that it’s just a matter of luck (the BAPIP argument, as it were). Either way, if they could start making their inside chances the second chance points could go through the roof.

Great game from just about everyone. Can’t believe I’d ever see the Warriors score 85 points and win a game, as this one was ugly as hell and a sure loss had it been last year.

With very few outside shots falling, I give full credit for the win to the front line that produced another winning rebounding battle (continuing the perfect link between a positive rebounding +/- and winning the game).

Lee had troubles with his shot, but had the huge tip-in late and another double-double with 14 and 15. Andris was also huge inside with 20 rebounds, playing about as big and quick as I can remember seeing him.

Gadzuric was surprisingly good off the bench, bringing plenty of energy and hauling in 6 rebounds. He was tapping a few balls in addition to the rebounds he was credited with. I also liked what I saw from Carney (especially his big late bucket), though his team-low -6 doesn’t impress.

Now they take it on the road, playing some teams that they definitely should be able to beat. I’d love to see them win at least 2 of the 5.

Just heard that Curry will be playing, so let’s hope he doesn’t aggravate the ankle right before the long roadie. What to look for tonight:

  • Curry’s Defense. I’m fairly worried about Curry guarding Deron Williams with a bum ankle, so we’ll see what sort of help the Warriors give him throughout the night. If they can do a decent job of containing Williams, they’ll be in great shape to win the game.
  • Matchup at the 4. Paul Millsap is having a great season so far. Can David Lee match him tonight, and maybe even play a little bit of defense? Lee missed a ton of putbacks in the last game, so if he can start converting those things could really open up for him.
  • All-Star Monta. This is the sort of game where the Warriors will probably need a little bit extra. Assuming Curry is unlikely to be the difference-maker tonight, can Monta make sure the Warriors take a solid start into their first long road trip of the year?

Fantastic game for Monta — he willed the Warriors to a victory down the stretch tonight and finished with 39 points, 8 assists, and 9 rebounds. Dorrell Wright also deserves special mention as he was the glue that seemed to hold everything together tonight, making open threes and finishing with 25.

Reggie Williams did a nice job filling in for Curry, coming off the bench to score 16 points with 9 assists. And David Lee had a nice comeback game with 15 points and 16 rebounds.

Biedrins was fairly quiet statistically, though his lone bucket was a good one.

In terms of rebounds, the Warriors were back on top in the rebounding battle, with 48 to the Grizzlies 39. So far this season, winning the rebounding battle has 1.0 correlation with winning the game.

Nice win overall, especially with a road trip coming up. They proved they can win without Curry, and did a nice job responding to Memphis’ runs throughout the game (the late third quarter excepted).

The Warriors get a 1-2 Memphis team on the tail end of a back to back (they played the Lakers last night), and with a long road trip coming up they need to get this one any way they can. Curry, as expected, is out. What to look for:

  • Return of Lee. Anything would be better than what he put in against the Lakers, but Memphis’ front line has pretty good size (though Zach Randolph is out). I’d like to see him silence any doubters and go right back to putting up double-doubles every night.
  • Replacing Curry. Lin had 15 solid minutes at the Lakers, but can he really be relied on? I much prefer Monta off the ball, and thought Williams did well in that final preseason game. Will be interesting to see what happens here.
  • Rebounding. The Lakers game was the first where the Warriors were out-rebounded, and also the first they lost. Will this relationship continue?

After a solid win against the Clippers on Friday, and with Curry back home in Oakland nursing his sore ankle, I look at this as a game that the Warriors are playing with House money. They’ve won the two games so far that they “should” win, and tonight’s game is definitely outside of that category.

So have some fun, and let’s see how the Warriors new front line does against one of the better sets of big men in the league. Can the Warriors win the rebounding battle for the 3rd straight game?

This will be brief as I missed the game and have been distracted by work and Giants. But aside from the injury to Curry, this was a great all around game. Monta deferred, Dorrell stepped up, and Lee powered the team to another victory for the Warriors in the battle of the boards.

Like with the opener, this was the sort of game the Warriors need to win to have a shot at the postseason. Now they can play with house money down in LA tonight.

Not much to say about this one, except to hope that Curry gets well quickly. The starters just got destroyed — check out the +/-’s — putting the game out of reach by the end of the first. Most disappointing was seeing David Lee do his best “Warriors starting 4 for the past decade” impression.

Hopefully the silver lining from last night is that the reserves — including Jeremy Lin — got some extended run and didn’t look half bad. Now they have Memphis to look forward to, in a game that takes on added importance as it comes right before heading out on a long road trip.

But yeesh — definitely a long ways to go before they can hang with elite teams like the Lakers.
