Warriors Beat Thunder Behind Trio Of Ellis, Lee & Curry
Posted on 13 Feb 2011 by Scott Johnston.
IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN A GUY WHO SHOOTS 4-16 FROM THE FIELD MAKES THE BIGGEST SHOT OF THE NIGHT, BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT HAPPENED IN TONIGHTS 100-94 WIN BY GOLDEN STATE OVER OKLAHOMA CITY. WITH THE SCORE 83-81 AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO PLAY, THE SHOT CLOCK WAS WINDING DOWN… MONTA ELLIS HAD THE BALL AND COULD HAVE FORCED THE SHOT, BUT INSTEAD HE DISHED IT TO A STRUGGLING DORELL WRIGHT, WHO DIDN'T H...

Ellis Not An All-Star; Plays Like One In Win
Posted on 4 Feb 2011 by Scott Johnston.
For a few weeks, or at least a few games, Monta Ellis hasn’t played at an All-Star level. On the day the All-Star reserves were named, Ellis wasn’t on the list. He then proceeded to play like one in the Warriors 100-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. In the 4th quarter of a game Golden State desperately needed to win, Ellis was at his best, including a 20-foot jumper to give the Warriors a 96...

Devastating Loss For The Warriors
Posted on 29 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Devastating. That’s the only word that comes to mind when thinking about last night’s Warriors overtime loss to Charlotte, 121-113 in overtime. This game was won. This game was over. This game was… somehow lost. The Warriors had a game just like this in Sacramento about a month ago. It was an exhilarating victory over the Kings because it was a game Golden State had no right winning. No...

Warriors Rely On Ellis Again To Beat Kings
Posted on 22 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Monta Ellis was not having a good game. With time running down, he had 19 points in what was looking like a home loss to the woeful Sacramento Kings. But All-Stars can awaken at any given moment, and Monta Ellis is an All-Star. Off an inbounds pass, he buried a three with 23.7 seconds left to cut the Kings lead to one. He was hardly done. In fact, he was just getting started. After the Kings Po...

Ellis Wins It For Warriors
Posted on 20 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Any more questions? When the coaches go and decide who is an All-Star, and who is not, they had better have a tape of last night’s thrilling 110-108 Warriors win over the Pacers, because Monta Ellis answered every question that was thrown at him. If it was an SAT, he would have gotten a 2,400. After a slow start, Ellis turned it up a notch, and then, when it mattered most, added a game winnin...

Warriors Happy And Healthy After Beating Nets
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
When the season started, many who looked at the Warriors schedule said, “If we can just get to the New Year in decent shape, maybe we’ll be Okay.” Maybe they will. The Warriors hosted the dismal New Jersey Nets on Monday afternoon and led for the final 46 minutes of the game, winning 109-100 behind a balanced attack that showed five players in double figures led once again by Monta Ellis....

Warriors Get Big Win Over…Clippers?
Posted on 15 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Never before has a win over the Clippers meant so much. For years, these two teams have battled in the Western Conference with their games usually having the same meaning as two pintos racing each other on the freeway. But last night, the Clippers came to Oracle Arena winners of 7 of their past 10 games. And with Blake Griffin’s dominating play, Warriors fans had to be worried that yet anothe...

Too Much Kobe
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
They shot 51% for the game. They made 13 three-pointers. They only turned the ball over 11 times. Yet, it was the same three problems for the Warriors in their 115-110 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday night. Rebounding, Free Throws and Kobe. The Lakers are the World Champs the past two years because of two things. They work harder than anyone, and Kobe Bryant. And, in fact, it’s Bryant who mak...

Warriors Sting Hornets
Posted on 5 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Finally. Staring a 1-4 road trip right in the face, the Warriors played their best quarter of the year, and turned a 10-point deficit entering the 4th quarter into a seven-point win in New Orleans, 110-103. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. OK, I didn’t see it. I watched it, online (long story). And even with that, I was disgusted by what I didn’t see. Af...

Obliterated In Orlando
Posted on 3 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
I’m not quite sure what Keith Smart says to his team at halftime, but he’d be better off keeping quiet, because whatever he is saying isn’t working. For the 2nd straight game, the Warriors went into the break with a nice lead, and then in the 3rd quarter, within a matter of what seems like just seconds, the lead is gone, and the game is over. Tonight, in Orlando, Golden State led 53-44 at...

Warriors Blow Big Lead in Miami
Posted on 1 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Thirty points. That’s what I told myself when the Warriors led by 20 tonight late in the 2nd half in Miami. Not enough. A thirty point lead against anyone, anywhere should be enough, but twenty? Twenty is one quarter of hoops. Twenty in Miami is nothing. Twenty is a loss. Final score, Miami 114, Golden State 107. G’State gave it a great effort on this first day of the New Year, but in the e...

Brewers Bullpen Looks Positive
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
The news for the Brewers this off-season has been nothing but positive. Prince Fielder is still wearing a Milwaukee uniform. Zack Greinke and Shawn Marcum have both been acquired to help anchor a staff that should transform this team into a bona fide contender. The starting rotation is just about set, with Grienke, Marcum, Gallardo, Randy Wolf and most likely Chris Narveson rounding out the fiv...
