They beat San Antonio with essentially only 7 healthy players..... Houston is tied in the loss column with San Antonio now....WOOT !! DD
Just got finished watching myself. Biedrens did some great shotblocking, and somehow gets those little tips to always go in. Never saw Ellis play. Dude is *fast*, has major hops. Athleticism with Richardson, shooting with Dunleavy. It's a good team. I was rooting for them to beat the Spurs and they had a great 4th quarter in an incredibly close game. I'm always happy for a team that's been a basement dweller to step it up; I feel happy for their fans who have been treated to some great home games, and the fans are rockin it out in there. Good for them. Are there any bad teams in the entire frikkin western conference? Last I checked, only three teams in the conference had losing records. Man, it's tough out heere. Jeez, imagine if Gasol didn't go down...
The Spurs played GREAT pressure D at the end of the game to try to get the ball, and the Warriors handled it pretty well. A couple of close calls and mistakes, but pulled through. I wonder if the Rockets have what it takes to handle similar pressure (my guess right now... No). Thugleavy was outstanding tonight.
The west is now 48-19 against the east after tonight only 4 teams in the west is below .500 only 3 teams in the east is above .500 NJ is leading Atlantic with a record of 5-8 that bothers me how many wins does a team in the West need to make the playoffs? 46? 47? or even 48? at this pace
What's crazy is that they're playing with 7 guys right now. That's going to catch up with them eventually if they don't get some more depth. (granted Baron Davis will come back but outside of him, I dont think they'll be using anything else)
Watched the whole game it's a wonderful thing that Nellie is back to coach the NBA golden state plays with a lot of heart and Andris Biedrins shut down TD in the early 4th quarter for them to made the run he's my favorit center now beside Yao
Biedrins is good. He's only 20 years old and a 2nd year player. I am glad I picked him up from the wire for my fantasy team. I can't wait to see how Yao would fare against him. Biedrins did pretty good against Duncan tonight.
Davis and Peitrus are out. So normally you'd see them go 9 deep, which is much better in the long run.
Ike Diogu is also out for them. They do have depth, thats how they are able to win with 3 rotation players out.
Finally we have a good team to root for in bayarea, thanks to Nellie's coaching magic on offense and willingness to play newbies and develope future for this long suffered franchise... in the other end, JVG in Houston, Ouch. still a very good team with 9-4 winning record, but if either Yao or T-Mac goes down, then who else can we count on? No Elis, Biedrins...no body. Play Novak, VSpan, let them make mistake and let them grow...
Biedrens was an 11th pick. While in Ellis's case... http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/1125sunsplug1125.html Nov. 25, 2006
