Giants VS Diamondbacks Recap, Grades

Tim Lincecum didn’t start the 2012 season the way he had been planning ever since he clanked Justin Upton’s head in his last start of the 2011 season. The Giants ace was roughed up for a quick three runs on two homeruns in the first inning. Those homeruns came from Paul Goldschmidt who absolutely kills Lincecum.  The powerful right hander hit third career homerun off him in just 12 at bats. Chris Young hit a two run homer prior to Goldschmidt’s towering shot.

David Lee Cracks My Power Forward Rankings

The power forward position is starting to become the most loaded position out of all five in the NBA. There are veterans, young players on the rise, and players in their prime.

There are the obvious players such as Kevin Love and Blake Griffin that garner much-deserved respect, but the list goes on and on and will continue to be that way for years. But for now, let’s take a look at the top-five right now:

Turnovers Telling the Story

In the Warriors two wins prior to tonight's loss there has been a common theme. This theme being that the team as a whole has  turned the ball over at a much lower rate. In Tuesday night's game against Sacramento, the team turned the ball over only eight times in a game they won (93-90). Two days later against Utah, they turned the ball over only eight times once again, blowing the Jazz out by 18 points.

Warriors VS Jazz Preview

The Warriors wrap up a rather disappointing homestand tonight against one of the more surprising teams in the league, the Utah Jazz. The Jazz started the season white hot, but have come back to earth here in the past few games, standing at (12-8) good enough for sixth place in the highly competitive Western Conference. The Warriors on the flip side can finish this six game homestand with a .500 record or they can make it even worse by losing tonight ending the homestand with a (7-13) record. Either way, they will play ten of the their next 15 games on the road, so it doesn't get much easier as we progress through this shortened season.

Warriors Defeat Kings in a Great Effort by the Bench

BOX SCORE

The Warriors pulled out a win Tuesday night against the Kings 93-90, thanks to a fantastic performance from the bench. Brandon Rush drained a couple of key three pointers down the stretch to put the Warriors out by 11, but the Kings came storming back led by Tyreke Evans who nearly had a triple double, 22 points, ten rebounds, nine assists. If I were to ask you if the Warriors were going to win without Monta Ellis playing the entire fourth quarter and Curry sitting for the majority of it, would you say yes? I doubt it. Jackson decided to stick to his bench which panned out in the end, but if they ended up on the losing side, he would have some explaining to do.  

Warriors VS Kings Preview 1/31/12

The Warriors will continue their home stand Tuesday night against the struggling Sacramento Kings. The Kings sit at a dreadful (6-14) record which lands them second to last place in the highly competitive Western Conference, while the Warriors sit at a not much better (6-12) record which has them standing one spot above their Tuesday night opponent.
