***GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 2010-2011 SEASON THREAD***

Our D was much stronger in the 4th. The Rockets ended up shooting 29% in the final quarter. The lowest field goal percentage allowed in a fourth quarter by the Dubs in ages.
The Oracle was crackin as usual. Alcohol prices are still the same as last year as well as the food. The only downside this year is that there is no longer a smoking section outside. The only way to smoke is to sneak a couple of puffs in the restroom.

Great win for the warriors! Monta SHITTTTTT'n on em!
David lee is gonna be a GREAT piece for y'all. Curry and lee are def the 2 players the warriors will build around.
Blazers will always come first, no matter what, BUUUUUUT next to them, I think the warriors are my next fav team IF I had to pick. Plus I got a griiiiip of potnas from the bay so I'm very surrounded by bay area fans in Portland.
I didn't get a chance to watch em play in their opener, but how'd everyone else do aside from curry/lee/Ellis? How'd D wright do??
Anyways, GO WARRIORS! Hopefully wit the new additions and a change of coaching although it's a familiar face, should be a nice fresh start of the W's! Now let's GETTTTTTTTT EM!

Well, turns out Joe Lacob isn’t going to be the owner of the Warriors by Friday, which was something NBA commissioner David Stern had wanted. Looks like it’s going to be November. Over the past two weeks, all the word was that the completion of the Warriors’ sale was imminent, and that the deal was a lock to go through -- and Stern confirmed all of that in a conference call last week. Stern said that he expected the deal would likely be done by today or Friday. He also said at the time there was a “signed contract,” and that “the deal is going to close.” CSNBayArea.com
But the reality of the situation is that the deadline for the deal to be completed is Dec. 31. Here’s Stern’s whole quote from last week’s conference call: “We had hoped that ‑‑ there's a signed contract, the deal is going to close. There are all kinds of related agreements that have to be executed in connection with it, and there are some details ‑‑ final details being worked out. So we had hoped that it would have closed by Wednesday. That would have required us to get the vote out today (Oct. 22). It's probably not going to happen. We haven't gotten the final word on a couple of documents. So it's going to go out sometime next week, and it'll likely close by Friday of next week.” Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. I touched base with Lacob before Wednesday’s game, and he declined comment. But he indicated the sale was unlikely to happen by Friday, but everything was on track. And there’s no reason to believe it isn’t. Just going to take a little while longer. CSNBayArea.com

The new-look Warriors held off Houston 132-128 behind a remember-us performance by Monta Ellis, who matched his career high of 46 points on 24 field-goal attempts. The guard missed only six shots from the floor all night, including a three-quarter-court heave to beat the halftime buzzer. "It was like he surprised us," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "We were on our heels the whole game." The Warriors played most of the night at a frenetic pace closer to Don Nelson's style than to new coach Keith Smart's proposed approach. But there was one major difference: the final four minutes. "No. 1, we have a team now," Smart said. "We had an Elmer's Glue team last year. We were just trying to patch something together and get it on the floor." San Francisco Chronicle
Yao won't play in back-to-back games as he recovers from foot surgery, and Lin isn't ready to produce as an undrafted rookie. Still, there is a story to tell about the duo. The Asian fan favorites formed a friendship in July, when Yao invited Lin to play in a charity game in Taipei. "It surprised me when he called," Lin said. "I was like, 'Is this actually happening?' " Lin said he was nervous, but 12 hours later, he was on a plane halfway around the globe. He headed back to Taiwan for the first time since the seventh grade. "Why would he be nervous? I think he has a bright future waiting for him," Yao said. San Francisco Chronicle
The Warriors tipped off without a new ownership group as the NBA Board of Governors has yet to approve Joe Lacob and Peter Guber. "Our team is set. Our coaching staff is set. Everything affecting us is set," Stephen Curry said. "It won't affect our play on the court while we wait." San Francisco Chronicle
