Opening Night 10/30 vs Lakers

[NBKLee]

Has a shorter offseason ever seemed so long to a Dub's fan?

Its almost game time, MM you out there trolling still? We need a theme song to rock the year.


My Keys tonight


1) Run , Lakers are on a B2B, Dubs should be the fresher team, get those wings on the break the ball early


2) Exploit the mismatches. Andre, D.Lee, Steph on offensive vs anyone the Lakers can throw against them


3) Get to the FT line early, besides Andre and the Aussie, we have a good FT shooting team, get to the stripe


DUBS win this one at home easily 109-92?

Need a lucky game girl, right? Considering we're playing the Lakers, I thought this would be appropriately themed:

Go Dubs!!

If Curry and Klay don't combine for at least 50 points against that Nash/Young/Blake backcourt, something is very wrong.

Yeah, playing at home should help. The best player, or I should say the most active player last night for them was Henry, seems like a spry young kid that could cause some damage.

 

[NBKLee]

Don't want to jinx it, but Dubs look crisp early on.

No Nash for the Lakers, and the starters are all clicking well together.

 

[_so_money_]

Warriors dominating when Curry only has 2 points, that's a very good sign.

Man Thompson is on fire. I should change my "breakout player" to him right now...

You beat me to it, 16 points so far in the 1st quarter, I hope he doesn't let up on the gas the rest of the way.


Where's the rest of the board, everyone stuck in traffic?

 

[_so_money_]

Klay has as many points as the Lakers do, lol.

 

[NBKLee]

Our bench is 0 for 6 so far, struggling doesn't even describe it

Dubs up 28-18 10 mins left in the 2nd

 

[NBKLee]

Lakers are a strange team, they want to be jump shooting team but don't really have the players to do so.

Not having Nash is hurting them tonight.

Looks like the score graphics on tv are broken, it still says 26-16.

World series game being played right now? Not that it's an excuse...

You watching the ESPN feed?

I'm watching the CSN feed w/ Fitz and Barnett

Baseball ended when the Giants season ended mercifully.

 

[NBKLee]

Steph finally with a 3 pointer made!


Dubs running away with this early! 44-25 6:36 left in the 2nd.


We have a game tomorrow night, hope the starters get to rest in the 2nd half.

that's putting it mildly.

Wow! Much better than I expected. On a day when Bogut and Curry did not come prepared to play, Lee and Thompson took over. That's the sign of a good team.

I have you no idea what you mean Bogut and Curry didn't come to play. Bogut did exactly what he needs to do on this team, which is board and play defense. He effectively shut down Pau Gasol, holding him to only 12 points. Boguts value is not tied to his scoring, it's every other facet of the game. 2 blocks, 2 steal, 4 assists and 8 boards in under 18 minutes ain't half bad.

Curry didn't light up the score board, but he didn't need to either. He quietly deferred to the hot hand, which is what a great team leader needs to do. If Curry kept trying to get his with Klay shooting the way he did, you could easily be bashing him here for being selfish.

Overall I don't like to bash anyone in a 30 point win because there's so many things going right for this win to happen, that players don't often resemble their true selves production and playing wise. You need to see how guys respond when the game is on the line or against tougher competition.
