So i went to today's (11/30/2010) game against Spurs......

I have to say the first quarter was the best quarter, and then the Warriors just crashed......

Manu still had good game, and Tony Parker (now single) and Tim Duncan are just being themselves, so who made the difference? I kinda wanna say Richard Jefferson and DeJuan Blair (they both scored double digits, Blair even had a double-double......to make a comparison he has not scored more than 4 points in the past 4 games), but the real difference is that the Warriors are not communicating with each other. Jefferson got some many points simply from dishing from Parker, and he just went ahead for the ally-oop. This kind of play happened at least 4 or 5 times, and the Warriors had no solution to it.

If that's just it, the score wouldn't look so horrible (118-98). What are other factors?

First, turnovers. Warriors committed 16 TO's which yielded to 20 points. It's actually only 4 points more than San Antonio, but you gotta see it from the real thing instead of the stat chart. Most, if not all, turnovers are just stupid mistakes, and they have been doing that for the past few games. They gotta clean that up if they still want to win. Winning against Timberwolf is not something to be proud of. Timberwolf has allowed the most points (something Golden State used to do) to opponents. Which means everyone can have a chance to score. Spurs, however, are known for the D. Same strategy would not work on them.

Second, and the most important, foul trouble. By saying foul trouble I don't mean players that are limited for playing time due to fouling too much too quickly. What I am saying is that they foul in a bad way. This can actually be seen on the chart. Both teams have 18 personal fouls, but the free throw attempt numbers are just totally different. the FTA almost doubled and the FTM almost tripled. The Warriors really need to avoid stupid fouls like that one before break when Manu clearly cannot make that half-court shot but Rodney Carney or whoever fouled him. This is what I believe the biggest difference.

Overall, an unpleasing game to watch, and the ref's for some reason favored the Spurs. Well, maybe I am the one who's biased, who knows.

Last but not least, some pictures i took!

okay never mind, ill just share a link of video, the title explains all..........
