Golden State Warriors - valoa tunnelin päässä

[GSW]

WARRIORS ROXOOOR!!

 

[Shirley Temple]

ei paha ei paha, viisi voittoa putkeen ja viimeisestä 9stä pelistä 8 voittoa. Voittaminen vaan sinänsä on turhaa ku warriorsin draftpikki menee koko ajan alemmas.

Saako warriors vielä lakersin kiiinni??

 

[dynastY]

BDiddy pelannut mahtavasti siirron jälkeen. Toivottavasti mies nyt pysyy pelissä ilman loukkaantumisia...

 

[Mr.L.A]

Saako warriors vielä lakersin kiiinni??

Toivottavasti.

 

[RIP-City]

GSW voitti nyt Houstonin, Baron Davis 40p 13a 5s!!! Pystyykö kukaan pysäyttämään Golden Statea?

Roxooor.

Ajatella että luovuttiin Claxtonista ja D-Davisista että saatiin toi kaveri Oaklandiin. Warriorsfanit ovat ihan hulluina, ja rakentelevat jo pilvilinnoja ensi kaudesta. Mut kieltämättä 9 voittoa kymmenestä alkaa olemaan jo aika kova juttu.

Taft voisi olla mieluinen draftissa. Riippuen nyt missä kohtaa ollaan ja kuka on vapaana.

Joo öö meikä on kuuma  tosin niin on warriorskin!! roxooor. Toi viime yön matsi täytyy kyllä nähdä. Voisi jopa kääntyä Pontelin puoleen.

Tässä viime yön recappi sfgaten uudelta hyvältä warriors-toimittajalta Janny Hulta:




This was as complete and satisfying a victory as the Warriors could have hoped for against the best team in the NBA. They ran ahead, fell behind, fell further behind and stormed back with a rousing 37-point fourth quarter to shock Phoenix 127-119 on Friday night.

Golden State won its eighth straight and snapped the Suns' six-game winning streak in front of a sellout crowd of 20,043, the third full house of the season and the 10th-largest crowd in Arena history.

But it was how they rallied that provided the biggest thrill.

From Jason Richardson to Mickael Pietrus to Adonal Foyle to Zarko Cabarkapa, the Warriors passed the baton. Richardson had the fast start, while Pietrus provided the second-quarter spark. Foyle had the career game while Cabarkapa scored seven straight points in the fourth pointer.

All the while, point guard Baron Davis remained the constant, finishing with 15 points, 15 assists, and nine rebounds, one rebound shy of a triple-double. Davis gave the Warriors a 117-116 lead on a three-point play with 3:12 remaining.

It was part of a 12-0 run that spanned 1 minute, 46 seconds and proved that these Warriors could be a force next season.

Richardson, Pietrus and Mike Dunleavy led the Warriors with 28 points each, as Golden State overcame a 44-point night by Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire. Joe Johnson added 24 for the Suns.

In a matchup of two of the highest scoring NBA teams of late, the Warriors and Suns took turns blitzing past one another.

Golden State hung with the Suns for 15 minutes before Phoenix threatened to run them out of the Arena, the same way they have dusted most of their opponents this season.

In a blur.

After Golden State took a 48-42 lead with 8:13 left in the second quarter, the Suns reeled off 12 straight in the next 2:11 and closed the half on a 26-10 run.

Steve Nash found Stoudemire for a dunk. Stoudemire blew by Pietrus and elevated over Foyle for another jam. Shawn Marion looked like he was on a pogo stick as he rebounded a missed 3-pointer and banked it home.

The best the Warriors could do was hustle, as Richardson did to try and snare a loose ball with about a minute left in the half. But the ball still found its way out of bounds and back to the Suns. Richardson winded his arm around in frustration and started to take a full swing at the ball before easing up at the end.

The same quick-start, fade-fast approached applied to the Warriors' shooting in the first half. The Warriors went cold in the second quarter, going 7-of-25 from the field (25 percent).

Still, they continued to put up shots from the perimeter. Six of their last nine shot attempts were 3-pointers, including their final four, and only one found its way through the net. Golden State trailed by 10 at the half and by 14 to start the third after Stoudemire hit back-to-back baskets.

Then, it was the Warriors' turn to burn rubber.

Troy Murphy, who missed his first nine shots, hit a layup with six minutes left in the third. Then he hit a 3-pointer, and Richardson followed with another. The Warriors took their first lead of the half on a Davis layup with 1:50 remaining in the quarter, 85-84.

Foyle was a force on the offensive glass, hauling in 11 rebounds and 17 total. He fell three shy of his career-high 20-rebound performance on Feb. 13, against the Suns.

Murphyllä taitaa olla jotain ongelmia arvostuksen kanssa, 10,9 levyriä per peli ja mies ei edes mahdu listoille:

STATISTICAL MINIMUMS
TO QUALIFY FOR NBA LEAGUE LEADERS REBOUNDS:

70 games or 800 rebounds

Neljä peliä puuttuu Troykalla.

Luitkos muuten GSW Bill Simmonsin kuitin Warriorsille?

181.(all-star äänestyksessä - GM) Baron Davis
Classic Warriors: They roll the dice on a former All-Star who ends up playing out of his mind, turning the team around and screwing up their top-four lottery spot. When next year rolls around, he'll probably blow out his knee before Halloween. We need to chip in $5 apiece and buy Warriors fans a new team – they make Clippers fans seem fortunate by comparison.

Ihan hauska kolumni btw.

Oho.

Onpas yllättävän kova määrä toi tilastokelposuuteen oikeuttava lukema. Ja tietenkin olivat oikeassa, eihän nba.com voi tehdä virheitä. Poor old GSW, yritti turhaan viisastella mahtavaa konetta vastaan.

Ja luin toki ton kolumnin, ihan loistava. Tosin täytynee toivoa että Simmons on sijoittanut Davisin väärään päähän listaa ja ettei ennustettu skenaario toteudu...

On the Warpath - Mullin for a Day

The Warriors have a busy off-season ahead of them and they expect to contend for a play-off spot (or more) next season. While it is clear that certain additions need to be made for the Warriors to take the next step, they must also be certain not to disturb the great team chemistry they have worked so hard to establish. I do not envy Chris Mullin right now (ok, maybe a little). That being said, here is what I would do if I were Chris Mullin this off-season.

First, I would find a mirror to admire my sweet buzz cut. Next, I would bring Rodney White back for another season. He just has too much potential and is going to be needed for depth. I would then counter this display of generosity by changing the locks to the arena and “forgetting” to give Nikoloz Tskitishvili a new key. After that, I would tie up the last loose end on the roster by buying out Calbert Cheaney’s player option and wish him well in his future endeavors, he is a veteran, he deserves nice send-off.

With all the deadwood jettisoned, I now take stock of my remaining roster. During this evaluation, I notice that the Warriors gave up over 100 points per game, again. This realization immediately induces a brief fit of nausea. To relieve myself of this unpleasant feeling I start working the phones, armed with a young roster and a $5 million trade exception. My mission: acquire some defensive toughness and athleticism. My first inclination, call the Hornets to ask about Jamal Magloire, and hope that they are willing to deal with me again after getting fleeced in February. Our conversation is productive, but trading for another injury-prone malcontent Hornet seems like too big a gamble. In fact, trading for any malcontents seems like an unnecessary risk. That rules out Darius Miles, Carlos Boozer, Ron Artest, and Lamar Odom to name a few.

OK, how about free agency? The first name I see is, Kwame Brown. He looks poised to breakout, but I am not about to sign a guy who just quit (allegedly) during the play-offs. In fact, it appears that most of the free agents in my price range carry significant baggage. Drat.

Then it dawns on me. I could come out of retirement. All the greats have done it. Why not me? Then I realize I am over 40 and have lost the minimal athletic ability I previously had. But I still have the sweet buzz cut. Let’s face it, I was never that swift. Wait, swift? That’s it. Stromile Swift. God I love cheesy, heavy-handed segues. He’d fit perfectly. A long, athletic front-court player who blocks shots, is active on the glass and finishes around the rim is exactly what we need. He is a restricted free agent though, so we will likely have to send the trade exception and some future draft picks to Memphis, but that doesn’t bother me much.

Alright, now were onto something, but I still need some help on the perimeter and a back-up point guard. That means it is decision time in regards to Mike Dunleavy. I can keep him and hope he finally comes into his own and pick up some role players to plug the roster holes, or I can trade him for an impact player and replace him through the draft.

I had such big plans for Mike, but he just hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. But he did show some flashes at the end of the season. He is just too inconsistent though. It probably will not be popular, but I am keeping him. I just get the sinking feeling in my stomach that if I let him go he is going to end up regretting it. But, I am not going to give him the extension yet. He is going to have to show me something this year. Plus, I can trade him at the deadline to fill needs, or even sign-and-trade him later at the end of the year.

That means I have to turn to the draft. This should be easy though. If we land in a position to grab Marvin Williams, we take him and taunt all the other teams in the league, but that is unlikely. However, there should be a bumper crop of point guards to take. Either Deron Williams or Raymond Felton should be available at #9. Frankly, I’d rather take Felton, I like his quickness and defensive abilities.

But I still have not added any perimeter help and all I have left is the mid-level exception. I’m gonna have to roll the dice here. My pick of the rather scant litter is Raja Bell. He is by no means a household name, but he is a tough defender and solid shooter. But more importantly, he is a good guy and will happily accept his role. OK, I suppose it doesn’t hurt that he won’t use up the whole mid-level exception either, should I need it later on.

Well, this isn’t exactly the blockbuster off-season people expected, was it? I am going to get lambasted in the media. But, you know, what? This is my team and I am not going to screw up the chemistry to make some talk show host like me. We’ll see who’s laughing at the end of the season.

White on idiootti, joka heittää paljon ja ohi. Poispois.

He is a restricted free agent though, so we will likely have to send the trade exception and some future draft picks to Memphis, but that doesn’t bother me much.

Miksi ihmeessä Swift haluaisi Warriorsiin? Ilman isoa pätäkkää voin sanoa, että ei tule tapahtumaan.

but I still need (...) a back-up point guard.

Whaaaaaaaaatt? Baron Davis ja Derek Fisher ovat molemmat tukevasti paikallaan ja hyviä pelaajia. Ei tarvetta back-up pointiksi. Turha siis käyttää 9. varaus pointtiin.

But I still have not added any perimeter help and all I have left is the mid-level exception. I’m gonna have to roll the dice here. My pick of the rather scant litter is Raja Bell. He is by no means a household name, but he is a tough defender and solid shooter. But more importantly, he is a good guy and will happily accept his role. OK, I suppose it doesn’t hurt that he won’t use up the whole mid-level exception either, should I need it later on.

Tämä menee vähän veikkailuksi, mutta Raja Bell voi saada yllättävän paljon rahaa ensi kesänä, joten uskon, että MLE tarvitaan kokonaisuudessaan.

 

[avaus]

Miltäs näyttää GSW:n ensikauden rotaatio?
Voisiko olla tälläinen:

1. Baron Davis (vaihdosta Fisher)
2. Mickael Pietrus (Dunleavy, Cheaney)
3. Jason Richardson (White)
4. Troy Murphy (Biedrins)
5. Foyle (Cabarkapa)

Keillä loppuu sopimukset tänä keväänä?

[GSW]

Aika samoilla linjoilla Muresanin kanssa liittyen tohon artikkeliin. Whitea ei tulla kaipaamaan, pointti on viimeinen pelipaikka mihin tarvitaan apua ja Swift tuskin on saatavilla.

Itse treidaisin murphyn, jos sen muhkean sopimuksen jonnekin saisi heivattua. Ja korinalusvoimaa tarvittaisiin hyökkäyspäähän. Siinä suurin aukko.

Dunleavy on ainoa kenen sopimus on katkolla mutta uskon kuitenkin miehen jäävän. Siksi rotaatio olisi kuten yllä mutta pelipaikathan meni hieman sivuun.

Ilman offseasonmoveja ja ilman tulokkaita rotaatio olisi siis kuten kauden lopussa:

(kopioituna ja korjattuna)

1. Baron Davis (vaihdosta Fisher)
2. Jason Richardson (Pietrus, Cheaney)
3. Mike Dunleavy (Pietrus, Skita?)
4. Troy Murphy (Cabarkapa)
5. Foyle (Biedrins)

EDIT: no loppuu siellä skitan ja chaneynkin sopparit.

Jos on tuohon hoopshypeen uskominen niin dunleavyllä on vielä ainakin ensi kaudelle soppari, toisin kuin murphyllä

Joo mähän tossa sekoilin. Dunleavyllä on tosiaan jäljellä vielä ensi kausi. Murphy allekirjoitti kuitenkin pitkän ja rahakkaan sopimuksen viime kesänä. Samoin J-Rich. Molemmat astuvat voimaan hoopshypessä näkyvien rookiesopimusten päätyttyä.

 

[GearBot]

Eddy Curry neuvottelee Golden Staten kanssa?

Eddy Curry neuvottelee Golden Staten kanssa?

Oivoi. Näyttää juuri sellaiselta pelaajalta, jolle Warriors antaa 6 vuoden sopimuksen ja 2311 miljoonaa. Ja sitten halkeaa polvilumpio tai muuta pientä. Taitaa Curry puolestaan käyttää Warriorsia vain pelotteena Paxsonille, joka ei suostu avaamaan rahapussiaan - Curry ei missään nimessä ole saatavilla pelkällä MLE:llä.

Sign-and-trade? Warriorsin pitäisi antaa jotain nuorta ja laadukasta. Dunleavy tuskin kelpaa, koska Bullsilla on Deng. Ehkä Biedrins, Pietrus ja sälää? Derek Fisher voisi myös liikkua toiseen suuntaan, jos Paxsonin nimi olisi Layden.

En usko, että Curry pelaa Warriorsissa ensi kaudella, vaan jää qualifying offerilla Chicagoon vielä vuodeksi.
