http://sportsblogs.org/entries.php?team_id=85&date=2008-07-06&start=0 Sports Blogs :: Golden State Warriors Daily Entries en-us The Warriors will have tip-off with the unbeaten Milwaukee Bucks in a bit less than three hours from now. Another tough road game, as the Bucks have been impressive in the early going. Are the Bucks just hot right now, or ought we to pencil them into a playoff position this year, and for a victory tonight? The Bucks have a fairly impressive and youthful first six players. Starting with the explosive scoring talents of Michael Redd, the Bucks have several emerging t... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263791&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 Okay, I'm officially on a Rampage. The Warriors officially have a problem with free throws. Yesterday, in their 83-81 victory over the equally-as-free-throw-inept New York Knicks, the Warriors left about nine points unscored from the line in a thoroughly convincing imitation of Shaquille O'Neal, shooting a rim-damaging 47% (I'm gleaning that number of points figuring from the league av... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263792&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 No Baron Davis, no chance, right? Well, no. That is, yes, there was no Baron Davis, but yes, the Warriors had a chance. Whatever. 91-85, Jazz over Warriors. Now, there's good news here: The Warriors lost by six but missed 16 free throws for the night, so they could have won the game with better free throw shooting. But, of course, there's bad news: http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263793&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 The Warriors are a very popular dark horse pick to make the playoffs this year. Not as popular of a pick, the Utah Jazz are, however, seen as a team with some high hopes as well. These two "sleepers" square off tonight in a battle of youth and potential. After seeing the results of their Opening Night manhandling of the Dallas Mavericks, one cannot help but wonder just how much sleep is really in the Jazz. Younger than even the Warriors, the Jazz will rely hea... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263794&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 Impressions of the Warriors first regular season game last night, which they won over the Atlanta Hawks 122-97. We'll start with the first half, which saw the Warriors down 57-47 to the Atlanta Hawks: Sloppy. Mike Dunleavy, he of the large new contract on which the ink is still dry, came out with six turnovers in the first two quarters, and looked just like I didn't want ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263795&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 Yes. No. Maybe. If you haven't heard, Mike Dunleavy's going to be a Warrior for a while longer. He and the team agreed on a 5-year, $44 million extension on Halloween night, which for some people, I'm sure, is a spooky thought. Dunleavy has improved his statistics every year he's been with the club, but has had obvious holes in his game since day 1 with the Warriors. His shot has been inco... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263796&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 For many NBA teams, that question is asking, "Will they be able to win the championship this year?". For the Golden State Warriors, it asks, "Will they be able to make the playoffs this year?". This year is a huge problem for me. Normally, I'm quite pessimistic, and with the history of this team over the last 10 years...well, it's very easy to go with the flow. But while I won't just dump my pessimism yet, I will make one statement: I want to be optim... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263797&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 I may not open this blog for a month or two -- there's a lot of research I have to do on the team, and I am not totally certain that I will have enough time to maintain this blog like I would want to. Stay tuned. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1263798&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:11:25 from the official site of the Golden State Warriors The 2005 edition of Warriors Basketball Camp, presented by 24-Hour Fitness, has been expanded to numerous locations throughout Northern California. The popular youth camp, which began in 2000, will make its summer debut in San Francisco, Alameda and Hayward, while also continuing to expand in Newark, San Ramon, Los Altos Hills, Pleasanton, Santa Rosa... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261984&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:50 from the official site of the Golden State Warriors The Golden State Warriors’ Derek Fisher recognizes the importance of education and having the right resources to achieve goals and last month he made a $700,000 donation to his alma mater, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UA-LR), to develop the Fisher Fellows mentoring program and building an auxiliary gymnasium. In recognition of his tre... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261985&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:50 In the NBA's highest-scoring contest in the 2005 season was a duel between San Antonio’s Tony Parker and Golden State’s Baron Davis, who had 38 points along side nine assists. Davis finished just only two points short of his career best, but it just wasn’t enough as the Warriors lost 136 to 134 in double overtime. "It hurts bad, because we did everything we were supposed to do, and they just kept fighting," Davis said. "We ha... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261986&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:50 Greg Beacham / Associated Press Josh Smith watched intently while Jason Richardson whirled through the air for a 360-degree slam that brought the Golden State fans to their feet. Smith might be the current dunk contest champion, but Richardson has two trophies back at home - and Richardson also has a complete game to back up his high-flying skills. Richardson scored 31 points, De... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261987&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:50 The Warriors may be down 0-2 in the Western Conference Semifinals, not necessarily a desirable place to be, but they will be returning to a desirable place to be at least - Oakland. Will the home court advantage be able to provide some much-needed momentum in the series? Judging from the first two games, it's going to take some stamina as well. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261974&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Warriors will make the short trip to Sacramento to try to continue in their playoff bid. After Monday's 126-102 slaughtering of the Jazz and a couple Clippers losses, Golden State is currently edging out LA for the last playoff spot in the west. It's only a half-game margin, though, and the Warriors will need to continue performing at peak levels to ensure their playoff spot is sealed up. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261975&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Warriors win over LA Clippers on Monday, final score 108-93. Must be nice for Mike Dunleavy to pull one over on his dad's team! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261976&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Golden State Warriors have been struggling all year. This month has been better than February and certainly much better than January, but I just don’t se this team managing anything spectacular at this late date. Our best performance of late was against the Dallas Mavericks but we seem incapable of repeating that intensity. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261977&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 This latest string of Golden State Warriors losses has driven me to network TV for some entertainment. I am a big fan of Supernatural and that Lost show. The best one out in my opinion is The Shield. That show is gritty and original. I love the characters and stories. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261978&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 The Golden State Warriors are fighting to keep their heads above water right now but excitement is high with fans because Super Bowl XL is happening on Sunday. I am rooting for the Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261979&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 A new debate has aroused my thoughts, a debate that will probably continue for ages to come. The question being; who is better Shaquille O’Neal or Wilt Chamberlin? Now before anyone decides to answer this question, one should take time to think about it. To think about all the factors that comes into play. For one I am not a big fan of Shaq but the man is very good at what he does and will some day join Wilt in the Basketbal... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261980&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Representing the Golden State Warriors at the NBA Draft Lottery this past weekend was newly acquired fan favorite, Baron Davis. The Warriors finished at 38-44 the same as their division and interstate rivals, the Los Angles Lakers. Oddly enough both team’s picks followed each other. The Warriors received the ninth pick overall as the Lakers got the tenth over all pick. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261981&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Good timing and money well spent is all have to say about the acquisition of Murphy who ranked fifth in the NBA in rebounding this season, with 10.8 per game, and also averaged 15.4 points. He was one of just 10 players in the NBA to average a point/rebound double-double for the season. This is the second appearance for Murphy in his four-year career on the NBA's Top-10 in rebounding list after he finished fifth as well in the 2003-04 season. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261982&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49 Another promising hope for the Warriors, besides guard Baron Davis, going into next season is center Adonal Foyle. Foyle possesses the ability to rebound and shot-block and improves with every minute on the court. And that hope is for a Warrior playoff run in the 2006 season. “I can’t wait for next year. And part of that is wanting to come back to the facility and work hard, and play with the guys and keep developing chemistry. There are ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261983&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:49
