HB misses 3rd game

[NBKLee]

You worried yet?

 

[TobyTyler]

Not worried. He'll be missed but as soon as they started being secretive about his injury and refusing to answer questions I knew the injury was serious so I'd already given up on him til at least the All Star break.

Not worried yet, but the disturbing part is the lack on information forthcoming. If he's not back in 7-10 days, I'll be worried.

He'll be back in two weeks. He was running at shoot around but hasn't participated in practice. I'd say he takes another week to make sure the ankle is in working order, another week of conditioning and practice and then he'll be worked in to the lineup.

Good play there by Iguodala to Lee.

 

[TobyTyler]

Give Thompson credit at least for working hard on defense.

 

[ColinCoby]

Apparently he is due back some time on the upcoming road trip.

What concerns me is how young the bench is. The Warriors, of course, shocked most of us by nearly outplaying the Spurs in the playoffs. That said, can a team with so much youth on the bench (Green, Barnes, Ezeli, Bazemore, Kuzmic) stay with the big boys in the west? Perhaps, but I have my concerns.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors use some of the extra cash from the Iguadola trade to bring in some veteran help at some point.

Black Falco missed 4 games, and returned 11/6/13, he was finishing breaks and dunking.


Seems to be okay, his conditioning would be the only thing I would be concerned about at this point.


You can only be in "basketball shape" by playing basketball.

Another classic Nolan prediction. Note the absolute certainty, he 'knew' right when they were 'secretive' that HB would be out until the break.

Just a classic. Right as always.

Not worried at all he was beast tonight

Barnes looked amazing, I thought for sure he would be a little out of shape, and rusty. But he looked like he's in mid-season form, they probably don't win that game without the spark he gave them.

 

[Hambombs]

Also speightss looked good tonight

 

[ColinCoby]

Barnes looked like he did in the playoffs. Confident, athletic, and strong as hell.
