Game Thread: Game 4 Dubs vs Flop City 4/27/14 1230p

Dubs need a bounce back game badly.

Need to play like there's no tomorrow, because there is no tomorrow.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Kick some ASS !

Go Warriors !!

: BEAT !!!!!!!

 

[Band of Brothers]

Curry has to get open to make shots. Gotta make those 3 balls to win. Take Griffin out of the game and make someone else beat you.

 

[NBKLee]

Dubs jump out to an earlier 15-6 lead, at the 7 min mark in the 1st.

Amazing when the shots drop, Dubs look like world beaters.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Curry is on fire. He can't be stopped.

 

[Band of Brothers]

The Oracle crowd is going crazy. Warriors have to have this one.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Curry 17 points in 1 st Qtr. 5 3's.

Great team game. 30+ total assists.

Draymond Green is a gem. So much hustle and energy.

Also Barnes had a great game off the bench - 15 points on 6/7 (2/3 3s). Also made a lot of good hustle plays.

If these two continue to play like this, there's good chance we can win this series.

Yeah this was a great win and a complete azz whoopin!
We need this type of hustle for the rest of the series....

Talk about a really quiet game thread. Where is tzill with his pantshatting? He seems to be filling in well for Toby.

Great last 2 games been a joy to watch. Loved the hustle today!!!

tzill probably realizes he was getting a little too aggro and is wisely staying out of it.

The question is where's the original shatter Toby?

I forget the stat, but the Dubs have the best record in the league when they have fewer TO's than their OPP. Today DUbs 15 , Flop City 19.

Other key stats tonight, Dubs 15-32 from Long distance, Steph was in Full EL FUEGO mode early on, 5 for 5 from long distance.

Other things that stood out to me, DJ despite having 2 blocks, was barely noticeable on the court tonight. Clearly FLop City has the better team vs us without Bogut, but the 64k question is

Flop City - DJ < Dubs - Bogut? Our small ball, Money Green in the starting lineup, ran their team off the court. Despite some folks on this board saying we don't play "elite defense" , Dubs smothered Flop City at every turn, and were the better team Tonight.


Will Dubs win this series? Best of 3 left, I think've already exceeded my expectations with Bogut out, anything else is gravey.

 

[NBKLee]

Shout out goes to AI#9, looked aggressive and was active early and often throughout the game.


Klay had a monster right hand finish in the game aswell , would love to see he drive to the hole like that the rest of the season.

Still gotta steal one in LA, and game 5 is probably the best chance, most home teams win game 7s.

We'll see how much the Sterling mess is what's going on...can the Clips be mentally strong enough to play through it? What will their crowd be like? Playoff energy and mental state is a real thing.

Race is still a touchy subject even in 2014, Sterling is an idiot, not going to waste my time on him. Money can buy you a lot of things, wisdom and common sense isn't one of them. He will die a hateful ignorant man.

1st and last time I bring him on this board.

Like Jeff Van Gundy said on the telecast, Green's a winner, he was well coached in college and plays hard.

I love his energy and screens that he sets. Behind Bogut, Green probably sets the best screens on the team.

I agree 100% with what you said but there's no doubt in my mind it affected the Clippers today, how could it not? And it's going to be very interesting if it keeps affecting them or if it's kind of a one game thing and they get back in playoff focus from now on.

 

[sjballer03]

I really wish we had won game 3 now. No way the Clips would come back from 3-1 down with everything has been hanging over their heads.

Nice win for the Warriors in what was obviously a must win game. Jackson pretty much abandoned the bench (other than Barnes) and played his core group heavy minutes. Much heavier minutes than the Clips, who played their deep bench as usual.

The road only gets harder from here and I can't help but wonder if playing with hardly any bench minutes or contribution is really going to win this series.

After a hot start by Curry (17 points in the first quarter) Clippers defended him better the rest of the game. It will be interesting to see if the Warriors can get him off in game 5 or if the Clippers are able to smother him
again on the pick and roll. Warriors had 27 fast break points (most allowed by Clips this season) so Curry had alot more one on one shooting opportunities that he had in the first three games. 37 combined points by Iggy and Barnes was huge as well. Alot of things went right for the Warriors in this game and will need to continue. Can Iggy and Barnes continue to contribute offensively, can the Warriors get their transition game going again, which frees up Curry from double teams and can they limit turnovers (only 15) like they did in game 4? Will ball small ball continue to work and will Curry have any push down the stretch in the upcoming cames if he continues to log 40 + minutes every night? I can't wait to find out.
