1.6 seconds

Posted by Antho | Random Blog | Friday 23 January 2009 1:00 am

Theres not many things you can do in 1.6 seconds, but apparently it was enough time for Jeff Green to hit a 15′ jumper to beat the Warriors by 1.  If you saw that game, it was depressing. 

What was more depressing was watching it from the 12th row of the lower level of the Oakland Arena.  Its too late Monta - just sit on the bench and sign autographs.

On a brighter note, I did see Maggette’s nice poster over Kevin Durant up close.  I couldnt find a photo, but this site has a short clip of that.  enjoy.

Too little too late?

The Warriors finally pick up a win today at home against the Pacers.  And if you saw that game, man it was too gut-wrenchingly close.  It was funny to see ex-Warrior, Mike Dunleavy bet boo’ed everytime he touched the ball. 

Crawford finished the game with 32 points, and hit the go-ahead 3 pointer with 11 seconds left.  The Warriors poor defense resulted in Danny Granger’s 42 points!  Honestly glad it was Granger with a big night rather than the ex-Warriors Mike Dunleavy or Troy Murphy.

I realized that this mighty, long-awaited win brought our record to a disappointing 11-28.  With only half of the season left, and the Conference only getting tougher, it might be time to build up our rooks for the next few years before the Warriors see any sort of playoff contention.

Did anyone catch that quick elbow from Belinelli to Granger in the first half?  haha those Italians.

Still undefeated at home

There you have it.  The Celtics cannot win in Cleveland.  In last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Cav’s forced the Celtics to a 7th playoff game simply because the Celtics couldnt win away from Boston.  Lebron took over that playoff matchup when they were in Cleveland, but also couldnt lead his team to win in away from home.

Last night’s matchup between Boston and the Cavs was the first since the season opening game in October.  That victory win against Boston brought Lebron and the Cavs to an oustanding 19 home game wins. 

Lebron finished the game with 38 points while the Boston’s big 3 combined to 41 points.  The Cav’s retro jerseys are kinda funky.  I remember last year’s to be green.  I think they’re trying to copy the Warriors colors.

Rematch in the Bay against Kobe

After the Warriors’ defeat in LA last week, tonight’s game in Oracle Arena was a highly anticipated game for Warriors fans to see their beloved team redeem themselves.

Surprisingly, the Warriors climb back to a 6 point lead in the 3rd qarter after being down 15.  But the Lakers prove to be a 4th quarter team again and finish with a 114-106 win.  It was another edge-of-the-seat game to watch, but after tonight, I wondered if our dream of playoffs this year had gone down the drain - Brandon Wright with a partially dislocated shoulder, Stephen Jackson still injured, Monta Ellis still regretting the summer day he rode his moped.  I really dont think Maggette, Biedrins, and Crawford can carry the weight of our team any further. On a brighter note, 17 of the next 25 games will be played at home.  Let’s keep fighting guys.

The games like tonight are the ones when I realize I miss Baron Davis.

Another game, another long night for the Warriors

Goodness gracious.  The Warriors need to learn how to shoot in the last 5 to 7 mins of the game. What the hell?!

I swear 3 out of 4 games always end like this: Warriors are winning or tied with about 5 minutes to go.  Then they turn cold.  Ice cold.  Can’t hit anything.  Turn the ball over.  Turn the ball over again.  Miss more shots.  Lose by 10.

I think we were tied at 78 or 81 or something like that, and then boom.  Gasol offensive rebound, little baby hook.  Boom, Gasol rebounds again, another baby hook.

Whatever.  Again, rebuilding year.
