Time to take a break from the glorious Giants and watch the Warriors in their second game of the year against the perennial doormat Clippers. Except that now these Clippers feature a rookie who is capable of completely dominating inside.

Thankfully for the Warriors, the Clippers aren’t even running plays for Blake Griffin yet. But Lee and Biedrins will still have their hands full with the guy who’s season-ending knee injury last year opened the door for Steph Curry and Tyreke Evans to pretend that they’re the best players in their draft class. Keys to the game:

  • Interior Defense. Can the Warriors keep Blake from doing a Luis Scola impression? I think the main key here is defensive rebounding — Griffin is all about raw physical skills right now, and will likely do most of his damage on fast breaks and put backs. The Warriors need to make sure they’re getting a body on Griffin on every shot attempt.
  • Interior Defense. Baron Davis is expected to repeatedly try to post up Stephen Curry. Can Curry hold his ground and at least force Davis to make tough shots? The Warriors aren’t inclined to give Curry much help lest Davis make them pay with a pass to the open man, so let’s hope that bum ankle is feeling strong tonight.

Nice win for the Warriors, as they smartly ran Houston out of the gym to take advantage of last night’s game for the Rockets. Now if only the Warriors could have fouled them less (52-26 free throw disparity, with about a dozen of those coming at the end for the Warriors), the score would have reflected the second half shooting percentages a bit better.

[As an aside, Kevin Martin really is becoming one of my least favorite players to watch in the NBA. He's gifted at generated touch fouls but geez does it slow the game down and make things ugly.]

Monta had a whale of a game with 46 points on 18-24 shooting (50%+!). Curry dropped 25 with 11 assists, and kept the turnovers down to 5 (more than I’d like, but I’ll take the 2:1+ a/t ratio).

The starting front court also was impressive, as Biedrins had a solid 8 and 11 (10+ rebounds!) and Lee dropped 17 points with 15 rebounds, and moved the ball well with 6 assists.

I missed the first half watching the Giants, but was impressed with Dorrell Wright from what I saw. Just seems to have a nice presence out there.

The pick and roll also was utilized more than I expected after what we saw during the preseason. Good to say as it was consistently successful.

All in all, a nice start to the season. This is the sort of game the Warriors need to win if they have any hope of contending for the postseason this year, so good to see them get it done.

The Warriors kick off their season in the shadow of the Giants postseason run, so they’ll have a bit of privacy as they try for a better start than last year. Once again, they get to start at home against a Rockets team on the back end of a back-to-back.

There’s only one thing to watch for tonight, and that’s whether the Warriors can get a win. Three keys to the game:

  • Biedrins 10+ rebounds. Is the old Biedrins back? If so, that completely changes the Warriors front court and will allow them to hang with a team like the Rockets.
  • Curry <5 turnovers. His most disturbing trend in the preseason was lack of caution with the ball. Was he just testing the outer limits of the new motion offense, or is he trying to do too much?
  • Monta >50% shooting. The biggest key to Monta making it to the next level is getting his volume shooting under control. If he can make plays while increasing his shooting efficiency, he might finally start earning some respect from around the league.

Preview: Warriors at Lakers, Part II

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers | 7:00 p.m. | ESPN

It’s time for the final preseason game of the year, as the Warriors meet the Lakers once again in a place that isn’t the Staples Center. This also is one of our first chances to see the new team on the teevee — what to watch for tonight:

  • Who else can play? With Stephen Curry out tonight to nurse his sprained ankle, we’ll get a great chance to see who else can play in the back court. Look for Lin, Williams, and Bell to get most of the minutes alongside Monta — will any of them stand out?
  • Is Biedrins back? Another double-double would go a long way toward convincing me that he’s really back (at least, as much convincing as can be done in the pre-season).
  • Rebound margin. The Warriors have done a great job out-rebounding their opponents this pre-season. Can they keep it up for one more game?

Preseason Game 6: Lakers 120, Warriors 99

Let’s focus on the good news first: Biedrins! Puts up a solid 11 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes, with a made free throw (!!!) and the best +/- of the starters at -4.

And: Lin! Sure, his +/- was pretty weak at -16, but he played 18 minutes, had 4 assists, and committed zero turnovers. Not exactly setting the world aflame, but a nice step forward and his best argument yet for getting real minutes in the early going.

And: Brandon Wright and Reggie Williams with production off the bench! Both dropped 14 points, though Wright’s rebounding totals were pretty weak with only two. Overall though, the Warriors outrebounded the Lakers 48-37, continuing one of the best trends of the preseason.

Now the bad news — Monta somehow managed a -29 in just 21 minutes of work, and had a largely invisible stat sheet. Curry went out with a sprained ankle that is apparently better than it looked at least. VladRad got the start (?) and was pretty woeful with 1-7 shooting — I assume that Smart was trying to send a message to Dorrell Wright as he ultimately ended up with the bulk of the minutes at the three, and had a decent line with 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists (but a -18 +/-).

And the Lakers shot 56%. That’s gotta change.

Postscript: Jeff Adrien got only 4 minutes of playing time, but grabbed 4 rebounds and had the best +/- of the night at +5. Granted, they were probably garbage minutes, but the dude keeps putting up solid minutes whenever he gets on the court.

Preview: Warriors at Lakers

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers (in San Diego) | 7:00 p.m. | KTCT 1050

The Warriors head down to SoCal tonight to play the Lakers in San Diego at the “Valley View Casino Center,” a 1960′s era venue that is probably pretty interesting inside. With the Giants on tonight, I’d have to imagine that this will be the lowest rated game in the Ticket’s history. What to watch for:

  • Identify the Identity. Matt Steinmetz made an interesting point in his chat yesterday that, so far, the Warriors haven’t developed any sort of offensive identity. I know they’re working on installing the new motion offense, but I’d love to see them work on the pick and roll and try to get some easy buckets for Lee to get him going. At the very least, it would be nice to see them get their shooting percentage up from the 33% they shot in the last game.
  • Can Lin back up the point? I think it’s a long shot — as Steinmetz also pointed out yesterday, he definitely has work to do. More likely, he’ll get some D-League seasoning and perhaps be ready to provide some quality backup minutes in the second half of the season. He has two more nights to show that he deserves some regular season minutes — let’s see if he takes advantage.
  • If not Lin, who? In the more likely case that Lin isn’t the answer, who can provide some backup minutes at the point?

Preseason Game 5: Suns 92, Warriors 87

Brutal shooting nights for both Lee and Monta. Ethan Sherwood Strauss is getting worried about Lee as he’ll be shooting a lot more mid-range jumpers this year since he’s no longer playing the 5, so it would be nice to see him settle that shot down a bit in the final two preseason games. Monta had a classic “old Monta” line with 29 points off 10-28 shooting in 44 (!) minutes.

On the bright side, Curry had only 1 turnover (but only 3 assists), and Brandon Wright had a solid game with 14 and 6 in 19 minutes (and, according to the AP writeup, was key to their late comeback attempt). The Warriors held the Suns to less than 38% shooting, but only shot 33% themselves. The Warriors won the rebounding battle as well, which is starting to become a nice trend.

In the final roster spot battle, Adrien got almost 20 minutes and pulled down 8 rebounds, while posting a +2. Miles played 11 minutes and only had one assist, but also pulled down five rebounds. Advantage: Adrien.

Two more preseason games left, both against the Lakers.

Preview: Warriors at Suns

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns | 7 p.m. | No TV/radio

The Warriors head down to Phoenix tonight for the second half of a back-to-back. What to watch for:

  • Bench production. After playing four of the starters more than 30 minutes last night (with 25 for Biedrins), you’d have to imagine that the bench will get a lot more time tonight on the back end of a back-to-back. Can Brandon Wright crack double digits in either scoring or rebounding? Can Rodney Carney continue to work himself into the offense? Can Charlie Bell show any sort of offensive game? And can Jeremy Lin build on a solid game last night?
  • The continuing saga of roster spot #15. Neither Miles nor Adrien got much playing time last night, though both had solid stats in the limited minutes they played. Assuming they get more time tonight, can either one make a statement? Right now, the external factors are pointing to Adrien (Amundson’s injury and Lin’s solid play last night), so Miles will have to start turning things on soon if he hopes to snag that final spot.
  • Curry’s TO’s. He had 8 turnovers on Saturday, and 6 last night — and the beat writers are starting to notice. Can he put a clean game together tonight?

Preseason Game 5: Warriors

Nice looking win with the starters picking up most of the positive side of the +/-, along with Jeremy Lin who was a +13 in only 12 minutes (still a chance to be the backup PG solution?). Curry turnovers are still running a little hot with 6 (versus 6 assists), and he paired that with an off shooting night. On the bright side, Monta was back to 50% with a 9-18.

Biedrins finally came alive with a solid 8 points and 11 rebounds, and Lee had an all star line with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Wright was fairly quiet with 7 and 5 in 18 minutes, but that’s not too shabby averaged out for a full game. Adrien had a good looking 6 and 5 in only 8 minutes (and a +6), while Miles had 3 assists in 9 minutes (with a +8).

Won the rebounding battle, which could be to the Warriors as turnovers are to the 49ers…

Preview: Trail Blazers vs. Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers at Golden State Warriors | 7 p.m. | No TV/radio

The Warriors and Blazers get set to do it all over again two nights after meeting in the Rose Garden. What to watch for:

  • Replacing Amundson. With Amundson out for 1-4 months, can anyone step up and show that they can handle backup minutes at the 5? Gadzuric and Adrien are the only real options (outside of playing Lee there out of position), so let’s hope that one of them can give some quality minutes tonight.
  • Curry’s handles. He had 8 turnovers last game — let’s see if he can at least get things down to a 2:1 assist to turnover ration, and preferably 3:1.
  • The “New” Monta. After a couple of efficient games, Monta threw up a 5-16 last game, with four missed threes. Can he once again give us hope that he’s rediscovering his 2007-08 form when he shot over 50% from the field?
  • Bench scoring. Can someone — anyone — score some points off the bench? Williams and Wright, I’m looking at you (since I have little to no hope for anyone else who’s healthy)
