Golden State Warriors Thread (2012-13 Season)

Warriors beats (upsets) Nuggets. 92-88 (4-2 Series win) to advance to the second round against the Spurs





Andrew Bogut finally showed doubters why he was worth the Monta Ellis trade: 14 Pts, 21 Rebs and 4 Blks.

After all the injuries and doubt that they caused, it was great to see Bogut performing so well. Hopefully, he'll have better luck with his health from here on out.

I hope so too. The Spurs is going to be very tough to beat since their so consistent with both their offense and defense. Both are actually my favorite team....but I'm always Warriors by heart first.

[sevin0seven]

Warriors even the series against the Spurs in second round of the playoffs, behind Klay Thompson's 34 pts, 14 rebs and 8-9 3PTM. 100 - 91 Final score.

[sevin0seven]

Warriors win in OT (97-87) and even the series (2-2) against the Spurs. Harrison Barnes had a career best with 26 pts and added 10 rebs.



Note: Warriors continues to out rebound the Spurs in the series.

[sevin0seven]

The Spurs eliminated the Warriors (94-82) to win the series (4-2). A great 2012-13 Season for the Warriors. A season that will be remember by its fans for a long time.



SEE YA NEXT YEAR!

BATTLE. PROTECT. DEFEND. UNITE. We Are PROUD. We Are STRONG. WE ARE WARRIORS!!!

Signs of good years to come for the Warriors barring injuries. Although they are in the West which is very tough.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

The Warriors don't have anyone in the caliber of Michael Jordan or even a Scottie Pippen.

you don't get it. FIRST you must lose, before you can win as a "team". I'm not talking about individual players here either. Jordan quoted that to tell young kids to never give up. And losing is only part of winning.

The Warriors have a promising young core (with many potentials) for many years to come with their new coach, owner, and management. They tried changing the culture by becoming a defensive minded team which is how they got this far. No one in the beginning of this season thought the Warriors would be in 6th seed of the West (or even making the Playoffs). No one thought Stephen Curry would be playing 78 Games and breaking the most 3 Point made in the season (272). No one thought David Lee would be an All-Star (again). No one though we would win many games with three rookies in regular rotation. Nobody bid against the Warriors winning against Denver in the first round. No one thought we can go toe to toe with the Spurs and make it the best series by far of the 2013 Playoffs. This is just the beginning... next season can only get better for the warriors with all these team success.

*No one - as in Media/doubters.

[sevin0seven]

...and thank you for a great season.

[_Steve_]

I hope the Warriors can build on what they've achieved this season. Too bad the West only will get tougher next season with Dallas and most likely the T-Wolves back in the race for a playoff spot.

Why are the Warriors thanking Kings fans?

The Great Brian Scalabrine in talks in becoming an assistant coach of the Warriors.

[shadowgrin]

Kidd who?

[Andrew]

Scalabrine was on those Nets teams that made the Finals, too. Brooklyn hired the wrong alumnus.

Some good news: Warriors center Andrew Bogut '100 percent' healthy

Andrew Bogut walked around the Golden State Warriors' practice facility in flip-flops Friday, smiling and cracking jokes with reporters he had not seen since May.

Back then, Bogut hobbled around with heavily taped ankles. He winced in pain every time he took a step, and he brushed off the constant questions about his health.

Now?

''I'm excited, man,'' he said.

After splitting time this summer with family in Australia and Croatia, Bogut said he's ''100 percent'' healthy and feeling the best he has since fracturing his left ankle in January 2012. He also said he has not been limited in any workouts since July and expects ''to play a lot of minutes'' this season - the final year of his five-year, $60 million contract.

He's certainly had some bad luck in recent years, but hopefully that's finally coming to an end.

[shadowgrin]

''Last season, I put the ball in the post and it was lumber, lumber, lumber, bounce, bounce, bounce, shoot,'' Bogut said. ''Because I got to be honest, I couldn't make quick moves on my ankle or it'd give out or I'd fall over. So I tried not to do too much. Now I'm back to a point where I can make quick moves and go off the dribble."

Still has more post moves than Dwight Howard.

I was surprised of his playoffs performance. He was some size and defensive presence.
