Morrow Blazing Trails.... vs Portland

Again I have failed you the faithful reader. When I started this blog I said I would post an article for every home game I attended. So what happened with the Detroit game right? It was a loss and obviously nothing I felt compelled to put to ink or pixels if you will. Anyway lets get on to the real story, last nights game against Portland. One big question people I talked with and myself had was. Would Morrow get the start? Unless you hate sports and don't see or hear any sports news you should be aware of "The Undrafted Rookie Anthony Morrow".

I had seen a little of him in the past at warm ups and very limited minutes. My first true introduction was via Fear The Beard and their recent venture into live blogging. I was in SF with my family during the Warriors vs Clippers game in LA on Sunday. So I ended up following it on FTB via my phone. Big up FTB folks great work. Anyway so Morrow was "Money" to quote Skeets in his power Rankings. He went off for a rookie and career high of 37. But again would Nelly give him the nod again? Logic would dictate yes but we are talking about Nelly here. Except for this year he has always dogged out Rookies and been known to switch things up even when it doesn't make sense.



Nelly got it right though Morrow got the nod and once again put his best foot forward. I think he is the real deal. Now looking at the line for Morrow went 8-12, 25 Pts 4 Rebs, with 1 Assist. Again just like Sunday great numbers especially from a scoring stand point. But what those numbers don't show is how he handled himself on the court. Especially the shots he didn't take. He looked like a cool calm collected veteran out there. He was very selective on his shots. Unlike some other Warrior who shall remain nameless. Look at the box score if you want to know lol.



Anyway Morrow looked great, he was confident and made great decisions on when to shoot and when to pass. I think Marco just got knocked down from Crowd pleasing side show to Trade sweetener. Don't be suprised if you see him moved with Harrington when that drama unfolds. Anyway it was another great night out. Went with friends to this game so I ended up having a few beers. The crowd as always was hyped especially for Morrow this time though. It got a little close at the end with some sloppy turn overs. I nearly lost it on that flubbed in bound pass from Jackson. That is twice now I have seen that happen this season already. But at the end of the night we got the Win and more importantly Morrow showed everyone in the Roarcle to not stop believing. GO WARRIOS!

Adventures in Babysitting...VS MEM and MIN

Just like the economy my spark to write is also dropping. Unfortunately unlike the the DOW my writing stock does not have far to fall before it reaches bottom. It's no more post per game as you can see. GldnSt8Warrior.com has declined to the "ahh screw it I will post when I feel like it" phase. Anyway enough explaining on with the blogging.

So Memphis on Friday night. Should be a win, plus I am out with my beautiful wife woo woo it's on right? Nope it's off! A horrible game that two words sum up perfectly. HOT GARBAGE! The saving grace is the wife and I hit the Mexicali Rose afterward for some food and drinks. I know that is the Win spot but I needed a Margarita to drown my sorrows in. Moving forward that is all I shall remember of that night. Fun times at Mexicali Rose.



Tuesday's game against the Wolves was an improvement Basketball wise. But even with a win in OT it was a lot tougher then it should of been. Especially considering the then 1 and 5 record and lackluster lineup of the Timber Wolves. Don't get me wrong Al Jefferson is one of my favorite players right now. Also Randy Foye despite showing any value has been on my Fantasy team since he entered the league. Just to mention a few Wolves. Fact is there lineup is meh at best. As for the Warrior's I keep hearing from people that "They are doing good considering no Maggette". Yea perhaps but some of these losses could of been easily avoided by one simple thing FREE THROWS! It's just unacceptable for an entire team of NBA players to have such horrible free throw percentages. Do they not feel the pressure? I know damn well when I am at the park trying to get a spot on a team. I am gonna concentrate 100% and make sure that ball goes in the hoop. Anyway it was an exciting game and the crowd was into it. They did a nice ceremony for Veterans day. Bad news about the game was I listened to OT while driving home. No the title of this post was not pertaining to the heavy minutes our young trees saw. We had grandma and grandpa babysitting for us. Normally it's not a problem and it wasn't they didn't call us or anything. We just decided we should head home. Well my wife decided, I was reluctant. I love Basketball but My Love comes first.

FREE THROWS FTW!

Mac Nuggets dipped in Sour n Sweet sauce....VS DEN

This victory was sticky sweet like candy. A little sour at first perhaps, but with a little help from B-Wright we got it right. Anyway my Wife and I made our way to the game around 7pm. I had been busy at work so I didn't have a chance to check line ups etc. I assumed Billups was going to be playing but on arrival we found out he wasn't. Also come to find out Maggette was not playing due to that strained hammy in preseason acting up. So the game gets going and the first quarter was horrible. Warriors got taken to school. I think it was like 19 to 37 or something after the first just pure garbage. A little into the second quarter though Nelly benched Harrington and brought in Wright. We then made a nice comeback and got it within one by the half. At half time the Goof troop sorry I mean SWA or whatever they are called passed out Bam Bams to damn near the entire house. It was annoying but proved to be effective in getting the crowd hyped. Seriously the second half felt like a playoff game. The crowd was intense and the bam bams was a bamming.



We did fall behind for a minute in the third quarter and funny thing is Nelson then decides to bring in Marco. The crowd went Stewie Katooie for him as normal. I don't know what it is but it seems like everyone loves the cat. Being Italian myself I know what he has to deal with. It's hard on a brother to have so many crazy fans cheering for you. OK smarmy aside though I have to give it to the Dub's they played hard defense pulled themselves back from the depths of garbage town and finished strong. Lets just hope we can exact the revenge on Memphis this Friday. GO WARRIORS!
