What, Me Worry? (Warriors 107, Kings 120)
Everything’s fine. Nothing to worry about here. The Kings just beat us by double digits — without their best player and less than 24 hours after playing in Utah — but I’m sure we would have won with Ronny Turiaf back on the bench, better foul shooting, and fair ...

The 8 Top Warriors Excuses — and Why They’re Totally Bogus
Friday’s loss to the Clippers was so bad that the fans sitting courtside next to Don Nelson — literally the best seats in the house — got up and left sometime during the fourth quarter. Nelson probably would have liked to do the same. His very brief post-game comments ...

Warriors / Clippers Open Thread
Fresh off their first win of the season, the Warriors should be looking to build some sort of momentum in an entirely winnable game against the Clippers. Still, the Warriors likely will be smaller — thanks to Andris’ injured back — and more challenged defensively — ...

Morrow Shoots, Scores, Saves (Warriors 113, Griz 105)
It took the Warriors ten quarters of basketball, but just after the half Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, the five players running up and down the court finally looked like a team. Granted, it’s only start — but given what came before it, something to build on is ...

Blame, Etc.
John F. Kennedy once wrote that “success has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” The Warriors are just two games into their young season, but the results are already stomach-churning. And while the ways in which they’re failing may be obvious — ball movement, ...

Warriors / Suns Open Thread
The Warriors take the court this Halloween eve against the Suns in hopes of erasing the frightening memories of their season opening loss against the Rockets. Those looking for a truly terrifying last-minute Halloween costume might want to consider dressing up as Corey Maggette’s ...

Just Like Yesterday (Warriors 107, Rockets 108)
Meet the new Warriors, same as the old Warriors. There were moments in their opening night 108-108 loss to the Rockets when I was fooled into thinking things had changed. Nelson started two bigs to protect the paint, Stephen Curry distributed the ball and ran perfectly executed fast breaks, ...

Things Fall Apart
Around 5:30 Tuesday evening — roughly 24 hours before the Warriors tip off their 09-10 season — the Bay Bridge snapped. All the Warriors can do now is hope it’s not an omen. The Warriors, like the Bridge, have suffered nearly two decades of neglect in the wake of abrupt ...

36 Wins or Bust — The Warriors Improve, But So Does the Rest of the NBA
With the 09-10 season about to tip off, it’s time once again for that annual exercise in crystal-ball reading: the win-loss prediction. There are so many variables that come into play with basketball records — injuries, trades, feuds with coaches, rookie development or lack thereof ...

Fantasy Land (Warriors 126, Hornets 92)
Thoreau once wrote that “ good poetry seems too simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech. “ For long stretches Thursday night against a gutted Hornets team, Stephen Curry’s play was ...

Not Too Big, Not Too Small (Warriors 107, Lakers 113)
Many Warriors fans curse the dreaded gimmicky small ball line-ups — four guards and a center — Nelson has been known to send onto the court. Tuesday night against the Lakers, the Warriors tried a gimmick at the opposite end of the spectrum. The team’s “big” ...

Fun With Statistics - Preseason Edition
Tuesday night’s match-up against the Lakers is shaping up to be the preseason’s most interesting game. Not only do we get the Jackson-Kobe rematch, Keith Smart will command the Ws’ biggest line-up for the first time. With Ronny Turiaf joining Biedrins and Randolph in the ...

Back to the Future
In most Warriors’ seasons, there’s almost always a “business as usual” moment when the optimism of the early year, the fresh faces added to the mix, and the talk of new strategies all fall away — to be replaced by the largely hopeless, listless, and/or ...

The Book of Jackson: Why the Prodigal Son Needs to Leave Again
In the Book of Luke, Jesus tells the story of a man with two sons. One son, looking for greener pastures, demands his share of his still-living father’s inheritance and heads off for foreign lands. He blows all the money on a non-stop party and eventually finds himself stuck in a ...

Half Right (Warriors 117, Clippers 124)
blogs.mercurynews.com — The Warriors had a new coach Monday night in LA. Sadly, the results were a little too familiar. After a high-scoring, up-tempo first half filled with nice ball movement and scrappy defense, the team fell apart in the third quarter and never ... (more) Half Right (Warriors 117, Clippers 124)
Conduct Detrimental: The Should-Be-Linked Fates of Stephen Jackson and Robert Rowell
Suspending Stephen Jackson? A start. Firing Robert Rowell for creating this mess? Now that would be progress. Stephen Jackson’s rapid-foul, foul-mouthed tantrum on Friday shouldn’t have come as a shock to anyone. Jackson has been talking for a month about his strong desire not ...
