N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 The Warriors have to hope the Rockets are tired from playing on a 2nd day of a back-to-back to open the season. Maybe Yao doesnt play up to his full 24 minute limit, maybe he doesn't play at all. But if the Warriors are going to win, they will need to feed off the always AMAZING Warriors home arena crowd and use the Rockets tired legs against them.Not only that, but Steph Curry HAS to play. i haven't checked any of the usual sites to see if he will be playing tonight, but i did hear prior to today that his ankle was getting better... so like every other Warriors fan, i hope he will be in the lineup and matching Aaron Brooks point for point! I also want to check out the "new" commitment the Warriors have to defense. It wasn't atrocious in the preseason like it was all last season, but lets see if that carries over to when the games count!Go Warriors!

N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Monta has 17 at the end of the first.Im loving David Lee's energyinterior defense STILL has issues... sighRockets rebound 40% of their misses in the first quarter (4 O-REB on 10 misses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 im sorry but when you play Radmonovic, D. Wright, Carney, Reggie Williams and Monta to start the 2nd Quarter... there is no commitment to defense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Ishmael Smith is one of the fastest men in the league. if he has or ever develops a jump shot he could be real nice player Edited October 28, 2010 by N.1.A.K.

Dash Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Our defense has been atrocious. 23 points for Ellis halfway through the 2nd quarter is just...ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Scola playing a nice game so far, 13 points and 7 rebounds. We're going to need more of that from him especially during games Yao is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to need more of that from him especially during games Yao is out.Offensively, but on defense, he's still lost out there. That game last night was bad...couldn't tell you how many times he lost track of Lamar. That may be the biggest reason why the Rockets will need Yao for longer than 24 minutes a night. His presence alone changes shots in the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 i love the dedication to defense right off the bat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.1.A.K. Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 i just want to say that Battier has been guarding Monta most of this game. not Brooks or Martin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence alone changes shots in the paint. I want to say that the reason for his poor defense has just been Scola being exhausted from the World Championship, but you're right his head is just not into it on the defensive end. I don't know what is up but Rick needs to get through to him and get him committed on both ends of the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 No defense being played at all. Ellis is getting anything he wants....27 points in the first half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 BrooksMartinScolaHayes That lineup is so bad defensively that Battier needs to be in the game at all times. Chuck is good when he's working out in the high post but he's useless under the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 i just want to say that Battier has been guarding Monta most of this game. not Brooks or Martin! Battier is a shell of his former self but that is still an impressive feat by Ellis. Curry and Lee haven't had bad games either, Warriors fans have a lot to be excited for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 We're getting absolutely raped by Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis, ffs we need to turn this around quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted October 28, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 You would think the Warriors could make the playoffs this season, even without playing defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
