This might be related to the fact that the Warriors seemed to not be running much of an offense at all. There were practically no off-ball screens and very few of the on-ball ones were set with much authority.
On the injury front, Anthony Randolph did not suit up, due to the ankle injury he suffered in the last game. Richard Hendrix again failed to make it onto the court because of a quadriceps injury.
Gurad Anthony Morrow looked good, hitting all his shots and scoring 11—but doing little else. DeMarcus Nelson may have ended his shot at a training camp invite by shooting 1-for-5 from the free throw stripe. Guards under 6’3” need to hit their free throws, and Nelson just didn’t.
The biggest take-away point from this game was that not much can be taken from it. No one looked good. There were lazy passes and sloppy ball-handling all over the court.
No one could even hold on to a rebound, with the ball often tipped multiple times to no advantage. Throw in a few traveling violations and players stepping out of bounds, and the game was a complete mess.
In other news, some Warrior fans are getting far too excited about summer league. Randolph is not a sure All-Star, and Wright won’t head to the D-League. Calm down, people, and enjoy the games.
