Some areas of concern after a win

Last night's 107-101 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a nice victory. Coming off a frustrating loss the night before in Denver, when victory was snatched from their hands by poor officiating (read feltbot's scathing rebuke of the officials here), I wouldn't have been surprised to see the Warriors come [...]

What are the Warriors missing?

This is a subject I've been thinking about for the past couple weeks. I was interested to observe the difference between two teams, the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets, who have been beset by injuries this season, and the Warriors. And even though I accepted the injuries as an [...]

Grizzlies too much for Warriors

Go back and read that subject line again. Wow. I know the Grizzlies have been playing much better of late, and they have size mismatches that kill the Warriors, but still, it's the Grizzlies. The Warriors, undermanned or not, should be competitive against teams like Memphis. Would Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf have [...]

In defense of Corey Maggette

I was reading through some recent Warriors-related articles on the Web, and came across a nice feature about rookie point guard Stephen Curry. It's a nice read (check it out here); what stood out to me most was a comment by Curry singling out the player he credits with helping him [...]

A feel-good finish to road trip

There's really no shame in this loss. None at all. Did the Warriors play a perfect game? No. But on the fourth and fifth games of a grueling five-game, seven-day Eastern road trip, the Warriors played the Cavaliers and Celtics tough. In the first half against the Celtics, Golden State [...]

Youth movement should be new focus of season

At the start of the season, I really thought this Warriors team could play close to .500 for the season and contend for the final playoff spot in the West. I think it's safe to say I was completely wrong. After trading Stephen Jackson, and with rumors that Monta Ellis [...]

Warriors take Cavaliers to the wire

The Warriors, in the first game after the Stephen Jackson trade, played well in defeat, getting to within three points late in a close game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, too many turnovers and missed shots down the stretch doomed the Warriors, who lost 114-108, in Cleveland. If Golden State [...]

You have to rebound to win

In the Warriors' 120-107 loss to the Kings on Sunday night, it was rebounding, free throws and dribble penetration that killed any chance the Warriors had of picking up their second win of the season. Looking at the box score from the game, the Warriors did some things well. They [...]

How about that Warriors defense?

It's amazing how winning can change perspective in a flash. The Warriors played a very good game Wednesday night against the Grizzlies and came away with their first win of the season. They did a lot of things well, but I think the most impressive thing to take away from [...]
