unofficial 2008-2009 WARRIORS season thread....

As for the Clippers this coming Sunday, Baron isn't going to play. Sore knee or knee injury or something.
the reason was because during the previous play where Ellis almost stole the ball from the inbound pass, Verajao (Turiaf was guarding him) set a screen for Lebron (which blocked Jackson from defending him). They did the exact same thing the next play, which caused Turiaf to rotate to James.
What I'm unsure about, is why Jackson (although he did make that last shot to give the Warriors a 1 pt lead) shot the ball with 6 seconds left to go. It should have been the last possession (Warriors took possession of the ball with 22 seconds left). He should have waited till it was 1-2 seconds left to shoot the ball so that the Cavs wouldn't have the chance that they did to win the game.
But either way, good effort by the Warriors to give the Cavs a run for their money.
I think the real game winner was the Big Ben Wallace jumpshot buzzer beater. Are you kidding me???
I don't think it's possible for any other team in the league to experience things such as the above with consistency as the Warriors do. They are truly the most exciting losing team in basketball.

It was finally nice tho seeing the W's USE the foul to give correctly! Biedrins made a great play fouling James without a chance for a made basket and James was sucking at FTs this game so that was another bonus. Sadly made both, but he is a pretty good clutch player.
It was still a one man game vs the W's. Without James, the Cavs woulda had to rely more on those key 3pters and i just didnt see that happening in the long run. Great game otherwise
Haha that quote and the one made by one of the W's announcers talkin about some other teams injuries and saying something like "excuse me if i dont feel sorry for 'said team' and their injuries compared to the W's" have to be two of the most "Warrior" quotes ever, very funny!

Actually, they still didn't use it correctly. A foul to give means that they can still foul the ball handler (while not in the act of shooting) and not incur a penalty for it (i.e 2 free throws on a non-shooting foul). Biedrins fouled Lebron in the act of shooting, which isn't a foul to give, and was a mistake since they had a foul to give still.

losing on another buzzer beater was tough, but not much you can do. when a superstar like Lebron, Kobe, etc rises up for a walk off J, you just gotta pray he misses it.
luckily, there are teams like the Clips in the L that even the W's can beat up on. it would have been nice if B-Diddy played. i was real curious to see what kind of reception the Oracle crowd was gonna give him, but i guess he has his own woes right now being injured & on the hapless Clips squad.

gotta keep this short cuz i'm gonna go postal soon if this dang, "upgraded" i-club keeps eating my replies!?
anyways, congrats to the W's for beating cp3 & the Bumblebees. they really played like true WARRIORS instead of the "Warriors" we've been accustomed to. if only they could do this consistently! i actually think they showed more heart tonight than even their win over the Celts.

W's gave it their best shot, but they came up a lil short against the old faithful Spurs. those guys were just a lil too experienced for the young W's squad.
at least they're showing a pulse, but until we get some stability on our roster & our front office, they're gonna have to claw tooth and nail every game just to have a chance to win.
