[Game 48] Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets

[MaxRider]

If the Warriors didn't suck so hard on the defensive board we would have loss this lead. Look how lazy and discombobulated our 4th quarter offense is.

And those Warrior announcers are right. Artest is too inconsistent for us to hang with the Spurs and Lakers in the West.

that's the difference between GSW and Philly
Philly played good D

I dunno, in NY he took HORRIBLE shots, all were off balance and complete disregard for anyone around him.

[Play_Smart!]

holy smoke, Landry made a 3????!!!!

[smapor]

Like we in seen past threads AB needs minutes to produce. Both him and Wafer can't do much when you get 10-15 minutes of playing time.

holy smoke, Landry made a 3????!!!!

they are trying to transition him into a SF/PF combo player the 18 ft shot he added in the off season is just the starting point.. it would be nice to actually see a "big" lineup once in awhile..

No. In this game he took horrible shots, mostly off balance and without any regards for anyone around him. He just happens to make them.

In NY he took wide open 3s. He just missed.

[smapor]

Not sure if it's the injury but Artest has little jumping agility. When he goes into the paint, he looks slow.

[T-Wack]

Artest has always been an unathletic piece of ****. He rivals Scola for worst hops in Rockets history.

Not vintage Rockets, but a win all the same. I just hope we get closer and closer towards April with still a pretty good winning percentage.

[TMU]

As much I enjoyed the Warriors few years ago, that team is no longer the same. They are awful and we took care of business. We can't afford to lose against these easy opponents. We have a rough schedule coming up in March and April.

Here's the $1 million question:

What has the giraffe neck? Anthony Randolph or Chris Bosh?
Whoever answers this correctly wins a prize!

Theres a difference...

Randolph has a Giraffe neck... Bosh reminds me of the same team he is representing... A Raptor.

I am very concerned about Shane Battier. This year he is simply not nearly what he used to be. The intangibles that he used to supply are few and far between, replaced with bad defense (shutting down guys like Jackson and Maggette used to be his specialty), lack of offense, and inability to hit shots. I always felt he was a valuable player but for whatever reason he simply isn't doing anything out there. It's been this way all season so it's not a short-term trend.

Probably isn't healthy in the slightest. Probably playing through a lot of pain. Like I said in this thread earlier...a lot of guys on this team use to do a lot of good things.

Now we can only really count on Yao and Scola and thats just not enough to win any sort of playoff round. Everyone else has just fallen off considerably.

because the old Warriors got Baron Davis and Al Harrington
those two give us the biggest mis-match
big PG posting on our smaller PG
3pts shooting C took Yao out of the paint

great game
