PreThoughts
Let's see here... on the road, against a good team that's playing well and sore over losing to the Warriors two weeks ago? Yeah, this'll be a long one. At least we're likely to get some more sweet Reggie Williams action... Maggette may be back, but doesn't figure to play much.
Warrior To Watch: Stephen Curry, who has yet to put up a really effective game in this sans-Monta go-around. With Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford guarding him, that could easily change tonight.
Hawk To Watch: Joe Smith, just for a nostalgic chuckle.
PostThoughts -- Hawks 127, Warriors 122
Color me stupid! A very fun game, and a good showing from the good guys. Curry's game was far from perfect -- too many cute passes that were easily intercepted, pretty horrible D both in the zone and in man coverage -- but the kid is starting to look like a star, something I had not expected. Excellent work from Ronny and CJ as well (CJ's newfound love of driving is an exciting development), and it was good to see Maggette back and looking comfortable. Also good to see Tolliver's three-point stroke improving, both for his team's sake and for the sake of his career.
Of the 86 rebounds the teams combined to grab, 33 were offensive. You won't see that very often.
A commendable loss. Thus far, the Warriors have nothing to be ashamed of on this trip. They're doing what they can do.
