That was one of the most enjoyable Warriors games I have ever had the pleasurable of watching since I became a fan in 1998. The Warriors played as well as they possibly could, especially in the amazing first quarter, in which they scored 45 freaking points. As the previous post indicated, I don't understand why the NBA doesn't put this game on national television. When basketball is played like this, it's impossible not to love the NBA. Some thoughts on the game:
Monte Ellis=Stud.
Ellis has destroyed the memories of his slow start to the season. This is the second consecutive 31 point game in a row for him, and it looks like he's beginning to take that next step from breakout young player to emerging NBA star. When Ellis is able to hit his floating 18 foot jumper consistently, he's basically unguardable. Guards have to shade off of him because he's too quick for literally everyone in the league, leaving this shot open all day for him. If his trend of making this shot consistently stays, Ellis should take the next step that Gilbert Arenas and Kevin Martin have.
Stephen Jackson=Hero
Stephen Jackson is my hero. His ability to get into the middle of the lane and hit that sweet leaning jumper allows the Warriors to have a fairly consistent offensive weapon, which is different than most of their offense, which is complete chaos. He was the most consistent Warrior during this game, and right now, is the team's MVP
Baron Davis=Boss
Baron Davis outplayed Steven Nash. Not bad for a shoot-first, selfish, injury-prone overrated point guard
Matt Barnes=Tattooed Freak
Matt Barnes had a very underrated game. He played good defense, kept the offensive moving, rebounded, and hit the 3 when they needed him to. Hopefully he's not too hurt. And hopefully his mom is doing well.
Brandon Wright=Play him more Nelson
See what Brandon Wright equals.
6-7. After a 0-6 start, I'll take it.
