Game Dread: Warriors vs. Pistons

[Thugleavy_34]

The dread lived up to all expectations tonight.

[Thugleavy_34]

WTF...Smartass is into his Death By Smurf thing...except Vlad...who played his worst game yet.
Smart has prodded the W's to do a bit more D..then he has no rebounding, so stops get wasted.

Smart just gave away 2 winnables in a row.

Say it. Maggette sucks. Say it, damnit.

[turk3d]

for all the Monta haters, 29 (11-19), 7 bds, 3 ast, 3 stls just 1 to (and I think he was probably fouled on it). He's the only thing I'm afraid we're going to have to cheer for this year. Maybe we get to watch a Warrior in the All Star game for a change. Big turound game for him with just 1 to.

[turk3d]

Radman wouldn't suck as bad if he didn't start and Maggette would suck so bad if he didn't have to play against 4s on D. MAGETTE'S A 3 YOU NUMBNUTS!

Maggette is not a 3. He has no wing skills at all except putting his head down for one dribble before becoming a serious turnover risk.

She's a short, slightly perimeter-ish 4. That's all she ever was and why you can not play winning baskeball with her.

You certainly aren't going to be playing winning basketball with her at the 4 either. She's too small for a 4.

And a monumental freezeout of AR, to boot. Not that that deserves mention.

Man WTF was Smart thinking, we were good with Hunter in it why not playing him more. I'm telling you he's only doing this to make Nellie look better, only reason that I can think of.

That isn't a counterpoint. She's an undersized PF. Doesn't matter if you win with her there or not. You can't win with her, period. No one ever has. No one ever will.

We'll work on that next. At least the tos improved. Until the coaches start putting some plays in for him, he aint getting shat (all of just 1 shot today) which I think is one of the reasons he's taking a lot of bad shots lately. It's the only thing he can do with the freezout and lack of plays for him. Not only do they need to have some, they need to call 'em once in a while, you know?

[Rob Rowell]

Whats the point of this rebuild if we keep playing old crap instead of our young hotness. It's pretty obvious were not going to the playoffs and it not like vlad and maggette are filling the stands. Players dont develop sitting the bench I just don't know when common sense is going to kick in but it needs to happen soon.

[old rem]

We were dead even rebounding late 2nd qtr,and winning. We finished -14 rebounds. THERE'S how to be a LOSER.

Funny part is Neither Nellie nor Smart seem to see that we LOSE over 80% of the games where we are outboarded 10+

If Monta can develop a rapport with our young bigs, I'll jump on his bandwagon. Until he doesn't, he's on my **** list. It's as simple as that.

He is a pretty special player, though.

Nellie don't DO common sense, which is why his good ideas and a lot of our talent goes to waste.
Smart is just Nellie's apprentice, trying to copy the master...in all the wrong stuff.

I totally disagree. We have a much better chance with her @ the 3 than @ the 4 depending on who else is in the game. For one thing, if she's playing 3, that means we only have two guards in the game as we make it next to impossible to win with her playing 4 and 3 guards, especially with his litle sister, Curry being one of them. If she plays 3, then that means that Dumb will have to play two bigs in the game which give us a much better chance.

[Thugleavy_34]

Not necessarily. Morrow would probably just go in at PF.

[turk3d]

Not necessarily. Morrow would probably just go in at PF.

Not trying to get into a big debate here, but if Maggette plays 3, then Morrow would be playing 2, not 4 which might not be a bad thing (would get Curry's sorry ass out of there once in a while). Morrow seems to have completely lost it as of late. He may not be strong enough to go up against some of the stronger 3s.

We're both wrong. Morrow would probably backup the 3, actually, since we have no other SFs on the roster.

But to make another point regarding sliding Mags to the 3 to get 2 bigs on the floor, the same argument could be made for Randolph or Radmanovic. They're just as much 3s as Maggette is.

[turk3d]

Actually, I like that even better. Slide Radmonovic to the 3, that way he wouldn't get manhandled by certain 4s like he did tonight, Randolph back @ the 4 (where he belongs, Moore or Hunter @ the 5 and Maggette to the bench. How does that sound?

Yeah, this is where I'm at now on Monta as well. He's got serious skills but his head's screwed up.

As far as the game, well, the one good thing is that I never feel the need to consider whether I'd like to see Keith Smart replace Nelson again. As far as I'm concerned, Smart is now officially and finally a complete waste of space. Two REALLY badly coached games in a row, both winnable, both sacrificed on the altar of weird Warrior lineups and freezing out the young bigs.

You suck immensely, Smart.

[jrich88]

Smart is possibly the worst coach in NBA after Cavs coach.

Monta is amazing.
Curry was alright tonight, but ultimately he killed the momentum we had with that choked layup.
Maggette is terrible.
Morrow has been off.
Radmanovic sucks.
I won't even speak about AR vs Moore.
