Loss

Gallinari looks like the biggest douche in the NBA.

We owe these bastards big time.

Gotta believe they'll have a better plan for Faried this time. We'll see if Klay stays hot. I think the Warriors are playing with a lot of belief and a lot of confidence. I don't think it looks real promising, but I'm not gonna be shocked if they contain Denver's rebounding and Klay stays hot that they pull out a W.

Denver's announcer is going to have a corinary.

Warriors falling apart. Embarrasing.

Bullshit refs and bullshit penalties all game.

Pretty close game and the team outrebounded the Nugs, a very good sign. Curry faltered otherwise the team could have easily won.

I couldn't watch the game, sadly. Could anyone tell me why Curry played just 25 minutes? And also, I realize that Harrison was just 15 mins in, because of the foul trouble...but his D is not that bad, I don't see how he can possibly get 5 fouls in that time span.

I think it's the 1st time this season that we've won the rebounds and lost the game.

The ONLY time, Ringo, yes.

The Warriors are 8-1 when they out-rebound the opposition. This Denver game was the only exception and, while Steinmetz claimed otherwise, was marred by exactly what Blackfoot said: terrible, one-sided officiating.

Story of the night: Barnes picked up 3 ticky-tack fouls in the first 4 minutes, Jackson sits him til the 2nd and he gets his 4th in the first minute, then after another suspension on the bench gets called for #5 in the opening moments of the 2nd half. I counted 5 whistles in 5 minutes, most extremely questionable. HB played passive defense all 4th quarter trying to avoid a DQ. Curry had a similar experience. Besides Lee, the zebras flat-out tormented the Warriors during this game. You couldn't breathe on Iguodala, Gallinari, or Miller without getting called for something. There were several runs that looked flat-out Donaghy; as if the officials were shaping the game to cover the spread of Denver by 6.5.
