'Fa Show' lights up Staples with an awesome display of pure shooting
Jackson had 10 assists to go along with 20 pts
Biedrins nets his 17th consecutive double-double“I’ve been in the league for 30 years and I have never seen a performance like that. After only two months of training camp, he just had the game of a lifetime and I am very happy for him.”
“I have just been going into practice soaking everything in like a sponge, and tonight was just one of those games where I caught the vibe. I am trying to do the best I can for the other guys and help the team win, we needed this win really bad.”
“It’s going really great, I am having an opportunity to play with a great group of guys and I am loving the Bay Area.”
Those who are satisfied with Nelson's rotation pattern last night have no clue of how to build a better team for the future or about winning in the long run. The Warriors are only grasping desperately for the NOW, but even last night's approach isn't going to give them a significantly better chance at winning. Predictably, the team got tired, defensive effort declined, ball movement halted, unforced errors piled up, and lazy jumpers ensued. Nelson's unwillingness to try to stop the 3rd quarter bleeding by playing his 'inexperienced' but effective young talent cost him the game.

Azubuike was good in the paint, awful from long range
“Well actually we played a pretty good game, for a long time. And what threw us off our game plan, of course, was the move I was most worried about...Rasheed (Wallace) playing the five, where we had to guard him with Goose (Andris Biedrins). Andris is one of my best players, so it’s hard for me to take him out of the game. But if I had to go back I probably would have matched up smaller on that lineup and subbed for Andris. Anyway, we had a nice lead until they did that and then we just couldn’t do anything right and we couldn’t stop them. They took our game plan away defensively, so that’s really what hurt us. We had to go to the zone…I thought that got us back in the game. We made some mistakes down the stretch, which I have to expect, and we’ll talk about them and show them and hope we don’t do them a second time. “
"It’s Ok.. It gave me an opportunity to get back out on the floor so that’s a positive start. I just wish I had more power and was able to attack more. But I’ll take what it is and hopefully we can bounce back. I’m just disappointed because we had this game.”
“It’s tough because we had several opportunities, but we went cold down the stretch and it really hurt us. And when you put a veteran team on the free throw line to make big plays towards the end they really capitalize on it. Rasheed made some big plays, Rip Hamilton, and A.I. (Iverson) these guys are veterans and all-stars, so they did what they had to do to win a game.”
"We just couldn’t execute the plays down the stretch. We were in the wrong spots, at the wrong time and we went cold down the stretch. And when a team like the Pistons hits their free throws it’s tough to overcome. We played the zone quite a bit, and they were able to finally figure it out in the final minutes. They made some great plays and were able to figure it out.”
“He’s pretty difficult to play. You have to make sure you go out and contest his shot, but at the same time you have to be worried about him getting rebounds. It’s pretty difficult to play against a player like that.”
Jackson has his best game of the year. Extension to follow?
