Warriors' 4th-quarter Offense 'atrocious

... offense foiled them - again. In the midst of the offensive lull, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he noticed something. "I didn't like our body language," Kerr said. "That's the main thing. I thought we were playing a really good, solid game through three quarters. We were taking care of the ball and defending, but the fourth quarter, once they made that run, our body language was bad. That can't happen, and that bothered me.". Green made an argument that the poor body language surfaced in the third quarter and admitted he was probably the main culprit. Even though it was a colossal, embarrassing meltdown, Green said he was relieved they picked up their sixth loss of the season. "I'm actually happy we lost today because there's some things that we need to correct in order to win a championship, and that's our goal," he said. "So trying to win every regular-season game really don't matter. I want to see us get better each and every time we step on the floor, and I don't feel like that's been happening for the things we need to get better ...

Andre Iguodala's Influence Felt By Warriors On And Off Court

... regular rotation. He even threw out a jab when asked about Thompson being out. "Defensively, we got a lot of stops in the third, so I noticed that he wasn't out there," Iguodala said, stone-faced, then offered, "No one got that joke.". Iguodala and Golden State player development coach Chris De Marco have their own system to determine a good game for the 2015 NBA Finals MVP. Making the extra pass that leads to an assist. Rebounding to get things rolling. Those kinds of things. "I've been feeling good for a good month. Once we got to mid-December, I started catching my stride," Iguodala said. "It may not show it some nights on the stat sheet, but in a really good rhythm, so I'm just trying to keep that up.". The veteran guard did a little bit of everything in a well-rounded performance against the Heat. His efforts to move the ball helped the offense finally get back in a flow. He crashed the boards and pushed the tempo in transition. In the 107-95 win, ...

Warriors Venture Into Unfamiliar Territory In Nba Power Rankings

... the fourth quarter and overtime after that two-point loss in Houston in his latest duel with Harden. Previous ranking : 13. Forget what we wrote here last week. Let the ledger show that, for the Wizards, Christmas actually arrived on Jan. 8. The Wiz pulled into Milwaukee this weekend with all of three road wins this season - fewer than any team in the league apart from the 1-17 Nets - but found a way to capitalize on Sunday's absence of a flu-ridden Greek Freak to overturn a double-digit deficit and nudge themselves back into a tie for eighth in the East with those same Bucks. Wall was just recognized as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month and, in the part we got right in this comment cyberspace last time out, he's starting to get help more consistently. Previous ranking : 12. Do the Bucks merit two All-Stars? For all of our constant (and justifiable) slobbering over Giannis Antetokounmpo , let's not forget that Jabari Parker has a better field-goal percentage than all but three of the other 29 players (James, Kevin Durant and Antetokounmpo) averaging 20+ PPG, sports a higher PER than Carmelo Anthony , George, ...

Warriors Take Control In Second Half To Cruise Past Kings

... Grizzlies on Friday, the Warriors quickly got back to their winning ways by defeating the Kings 117-106. It wasn't an easy victory; Golden State had a rough first half but quickly turned things around in the second with tough defense and its trademarked stellar offense. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 30 points, Kevin Durant had 28 and Klay Thompson chipped in 18. Draymond Green finished with a strong all-around game of nine points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks. The Kings were led by Rudy Gay , who had 23 points. De Marcus Cousins had a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. A tale of two halves: Golden State didn't seem to be playing with any urgency in the first half and the Kings took advantage, jumping out to a 16-point lead. Rudy Gay was especially aggressive and scored 17 points in the half. Ty Lawson outscored Golden State's bench 9-8 all by himself. And Sacramento's defense along with Golden State's carelessness ...

Warriors Making Progress

... game against the visiting Colonials gave the packed gym a glimpse of the potential of this year’s team, as the Warrior girls overcame a 13-8 first-quarter deficit to take a three-point lead into the final seconds. When AB’s desperation 3-point shot missed at the buzzer the improving L-S girls had earned hard-fought win. Junior Sofia Rosa led L-S with 14 points and nine rebounds, while seniors Larsen Henken (7 points, 7 rebounds), Amelia Harvey (6 points, 7 rebounds) and Sam Washburn (5 points, 4 rebounds) had strong efforts. In what was only the second home game of the season for L-S, Connelly was happy with the growth his team is showing and the confidence that is building heading into DCL league play. “We have two young point guards (9 th grader Elise Harvey and 10 th grader Karly van Leer) who are just beginning to learn the position and get comfortable in their roles and as a team we are finally starting to get healthy. We have a long way to go but we are ...

Draymond Green Says Warriors 'trying To Figure Out What Works

... | George regrets 'fatherhood' comments. No. 1:  Green: This season 'about experimenting' for Warriors  - Draymond Green is the emotional center and is never afraid to call out a teammate's mistakes, even if it is someone like superstar forward (and new addition) Kevin Durant. Green did exactly that in a game over the weekend as the Warriors lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. Green talked with USA Today's Sam Amick about that blowup, the Warriors' season and more in a Q&A. Q: So last year was a circus – just an absolute show every single night. I feel like this year is a whole lot more learning and tinkering …. A: “Last year we were trying to win every single game every night. This year we’re trying more things out, we’re trying different combinations, we’re playing more guys trying to figure out what works, and I think it’s good. I think it’s been good for us. And yet, we’ve still been able to win at a really high rate. We’re definitely trying things out, trying to ...

Stephen Curry Says Cavs’ Acquisition Of Kyle Korver Means Nothing To Warriors

... the other day was, ‘If you want to fit in, shoot the ball every time you get it,’” James said, per __link__. ↓ Continue Reading Below. When Stephen Curry was asked how closely he watches what other teams do — and specifically the Cavs’ acquisition of Korver — the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week said he likes to keep up on all the biggest storylines. “I mean, obviously I know what’s going on in the league,” Curry said. “I’m watching games every night, keeping tabs on what’s going on. Just not always as a fan of the game and a fan of just watching basketball, but like I said, keeping a nice landscape of what’s going on.”. The newest Cav owns the eighth-best 3-point percentage in league history. “That’s a move for them that they thought was necessary and we’ll see how it will play out,” Curry said. “But it has nothing to do with our mission and our goal and anything else like that.”. Klay Thompson set to rest against Heat. Klay Thompson, who was nowhere to be ...
