Game 4

BD's revenge!

yes beans and turiaf were side lined..yes the clip had a huge size advantage every where you looked.. This doesn't excuse the debacle in Oakland last night..
The clip immediately fed the ball to kamen and the dubs immediately doubled..leading to some wide open J's for there bulky back court..gordon hit his first couple shots which opened up his whole game (and its a nice one)..the dubs were quick to feel sorry for themselves after rattling out several open shots..the real difference I think was baron scouted our guys tendencies very well for his teammates particularly monta who had the ball ripped more times then I can ever remember in a game.. baron clearly knows everything he likes to do and schooled his teammates to it...as the half was winding down it seemed they should be down 20 but it was only a 10 or 12 point game.. but everybody was wearing there frustration on there sleeve..one play in particular ( in the above highlights) monta wanted AR to clear out a side.. waved him away AR didn't at first.. then did.. only to swing right back around..at this point the shot clock is ticking down so monta pulled a 3.. he hits it but on his way back down he is swearing at AR.. this is the most demonstrative I have ever seen monta with anybody.. his visible frustration was shocking and comforting at the same time..he should have been! the clip put the game away early in the 3rd..methodically picking us apart with what ever match up they wanted to exploit..BD was very efficient all night and buried a couple Patten step back 3's to close the quarter..let the garbage time begin.. was looking forward to see curry and AR out there for the fourth but curry fouled out early.. after being abused by the clips physical back court all night.. AR was out of control pretty much every time he touched the ball on offense.. he did rebound well and took unusual amount of charges (4) trying to guard kamen.. he turned his ankle late and you could see the frustration boiling over.. when nellie pulled him and had a little chat to calm the youngster down and give him some encouragement..but that seemed to be the only coaching nellie did. They played so shockingly bad that I couldn't get angry watching.. I think everybody just wanted to see how bad it could get..maybe this is one step closer to a new coach..it will be interesting to see how the team reacts in Sac Sunday night.
