The City takes a look at the two
newest Warriors.
Here is a look at the guard and
swingman prospects that the Golden State Warriors could be
considering taking in Tuesday’s draft. The Dubs are in need of depth and more scoring but could bee looking for that elusive smaller player who can play with the bigs. Mullin may also pull off a big trade on Tuesday with the picks and trade exception he has at his disposal.
Here is a look at the top big
man prospects that the Golden State Warriors could be
considering taking in Tuesday’s draft. The Dubs are in need of depth and, as always, size and rebounding. Mullin may also pull off a big trade on Tuesday with the picks and trade exception he has at his disposal.
The Warriors won a 111-95 game that they
had no business winning at Oracle Arena Thursday. After
trailing by 14 in the first, Don Nelson’s team took 27 minutes to engineer a 33 point turnaround. The victory meant that the No.7,8 and 9 teams in the west are separated by a mere single game.
The Golden State Warriors blitzed Philadelphia 119-97 in
the Oracle. Rookie forward Brandon Wright had a career
high in points and Mickael Pietrus led the way with 23. The Warriors have won 15 of their last 21 games bat ares till only up half a game on the ninth place team in the west.
The Dubs fell 119-109 to Utah Tuesday, continuing
their run of misery against the Jazz. Both Baron
Davis and Stephen Jackson left the game in the second half with injuries. Dub’s GM Chris Mullin was apparently looking at trying to bring Pacer’s forward Jermaine O'Neal to Oakland.
Golden State held New Orleans at bay throughout
the night, never letting them get of a run
and wrest away control of the game. The win ended the Hornets’ nine-game winning streak. Starting Al Harrington at center proved to be the right choice as GSW had 18 fast break points against one of the NBA’s most efficient defenses.
The Warriors did not play a pretty game
against the Knicks but they survived 106-104. Andris Biedrins
grabbed 26 boards and Stephen Jackson hit four big fourth quarter threes. Warrior fans also received word that their squad will likely soon be getting former all-star power forward and franchise ruiner Chris Webber.
The Warriors came out flat but came back
only to lose the game late. Ryan Gomes hit
two free throws with under one minute left to give the Timberwolves a 109-198 lead which they would not relinquish. Monta Ellis scored 28 points and hit 10 points to lead the Warriors.
Golden State survived consecutive slow starts to down
Milwaukee and Chicago on the road. Against the Bulls
GSW went with a short bench and rode their starters. The next night the Bucks faced some of the younger Warriors bigs but could not contain Al Harrington.
Golden State got destroyed in the fourth quarter
against Indiana, blowing a 17-point lead and losing 125-117.The
Dubs stole the ball 12 times in the first quarter but could never quite put the Pacers away. Baron Davis scored 24 but was out dueled by Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy who scored 29 and 24 respectively.
Monta Ellis started hot but needed Stephen Jackson
to put away a resilient Minnesota team in the
Target center. Antoine Walker was big off the bench but couldn’t overcome the Warrior’s advantage in the backcourt. Jackson Ellis and Baron Davis out scored the top three Timberwolf guards 60-27.
The Golden State Warriors staged a three quarter
rally to defeat Indiana. The game was a home
coming for two former overpaid Warriors whose departure harkened in a new era for the team. The players who came from Indiana didn’t exactly shine but Baron Davis and Monta Ellis were anchors out on the court.
The Warriors got off to a fast start
on Friday but needed late plays from their leaders
to keep the Grizzlies from getting too close. Baron Davis ran the show, handing out a career high 19 assists. His right hand man, Monta Ellis scored 27 points, only missing three shots.
The Warriors beat San Antonio 130-121 with Baron
Davis leading the team 34 points and Stephen Jackson
scoring 12 of his 29 points in overtime. Earlier in the day GSW waived their backup center DJ Mbenga, called up D-League center Kosta Perovic and signed backup point guard C.J. Watson.
Chris Paul keyed a 116-104 win by the
Hornets over the Golden State Warriors. 26 Baron Davis
points were not enough to stop all five New Orleans starters from abusing the home team’s defense. The Dubs were taken out of their game by a squad who pounded the glass and harried them into 13 turnovers.
The Warriors exercised their demons in Denver, winning
there for the first time since 2003. The defense
came alive as they held one of the leagues most explosive offense’s to fewer then 100 points.
Monta Ellis showed why he is one of
the league’s bright young stars as he dominated against
Minnesota. His development and the Warriors’ improved free throw shooting are both encouraging signs.
The Warriors enter a turbulent stretch of the
schedule following Christmas. Surviving that would be important in
maintaining playoff position. A Chris Mullin move could be in the works involving young center Patrick O’Bryant or small forward Mickael Pietrus.
Golden State fell behind early and couldn't control
the Nets' scorers throughout. They took the lead late
in that game but could not capitalize and gave it back in the waning seconds. The loss leaves GSW at 2-2 on their current road trip heading into Cleveland tomorrow.
