vs. GSW: Opponent Game Thread Highlights

Today’s opponent game thread host body: Golden State of Mind. Just as an aside, GSoM was the first SB Nation site I ever came across (I was looking for some extra reading during the 2007 Playoffs). I was immediately insanely jealous of Warriors fans for having a site like GSoM, and lamented the lack of a similar site for Jazz fans. In other words, much much much love for SLC Dunk.

From the game thread intro:
Not a prediction, but a gentle reminder that there was once a time where it seemed possible that Brandan Wright might play at some point this season, where it seemed possible that Anthony Randolph might be back before the end of the season, a time when it seemed possible that Andris might make his 5th free throw of the season.

Me: For lottery reasons, the first part of the thread is more focused on box score watching for the “Bullets,” “Queens,” and “Timbasuck/Bad Puppies” than the game at hand.

Remember last season @ Utah?
When CJ Watson went off for like 38 points and we won? Hoping this doesn’t happen again haha.

Me: The first quarter of the thread is really a WAS-NOH thread, and the GSoM community is thrilled when the Wizards win. Only after that game is over do they turn their attention to UTA-GSW.

Goddamn Corey
First he knocks Morrow’s knee outta place and he’s just killed Hunter

I should probably watch the Jazz play a real team
because I’m finding myself overly impressed by them.

Chris Hunter is likely out for 2nd half. He was hit in nose by Maggette. First it wouldn’t stop bleeding. Now he has headaches and dizziness
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 11:35 AM CST

maggette is the master of tank
by KashRocks on Apr 1, 2010 11:36 AM CST

He is what I like to call the…
head tank.

The Tank Commander just hit a friendly
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 11:37 AM CST

That’s exactly what a Tank Commander’s gotta do…
There will be no extra point!
by Sleepy Freud on Apr 1, 2010 11:38 AM CST

That’s exactly what a Tank Commander’s gotta do…
He needs to slap D’Reggie around a little bit too

#noDisrespectbut It seems 3/4 of the women in SLC are either pregant or toting two or three kids
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 11:38 AM CST

Well, we did not give up 100 points until after 34 minutes
Win!

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 12:24 PM CST

by Badly Browned on Apr 1, 2010 12:24 PM CST

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 12:25 PM CST

by tolliver on Apr 1, 2010 12:26 PM CST

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 1, 2010 12:27 PM CST

Me: How did the world so quickly forget a travesty of such massively immense proportions?
