37 28 24 22 101
35 37 27 20 119

Oakland, California - Amazing. The Warriors are still one of only two undefeated teams in the league (the other being division rival Los Angeles). The game was high-scoring from the start, Boston holding a small 37-35 lead after the first, but fell behind by 7 at the half. The lead stayed steady in the third, and the win was sealed in the fourth. The Warriors won 119-101. Sebastian Telfair had a surprisingly huge night for Boston, scoring nearly 30 points and dishing 9 Assists, but Paul Pierce had a mediocre game with 15 points. Arenas led Golden State with 26 Points and 14 Assists.

Warriors Stay Perfect With Win Over Nash-Less Suns

December 11, 2006 | Warriors (5-0) @ Suns (3-3)

32 28 29 19 108
26 29 19 23 97

Phoenix, AZ - If not for Nash's injury, this battle of Pacific Division Rivals would be intense. Instead, despite being the closest game so far for the Warriors this season, The Warriors had little trouble winning their 5th straight. The first quarter was close enough, Nash's absence clearly being felt as the Warriors raced to a 6-point lead after 1.

A late 2nd-quarter run put the Warriors within 5 however as Marcus Banks did a decent job filling in for the 2-time MVP. The Warriors took control in the 3rd. They outscored the Suns to take a 15-point lead going into the final period. They let the bench play for the final quarter as they won it 108-97.

Warriors Appear to have another Steal in Ellis

Nearly two years ago, Monta Ellis felt forgotten when he slipped down the draft board. Monta Ellis is no stranger to the NBA now, in his second season. After not-quite all-star and 2-time Dunk Contest Champ Jason Richardson was traded to the Wizards, Ellis has earned the starting spot in Golden State.

The Warriors (5-0) are having an amazing undefeated season, and Ellis is a huge part of it. Averaging 17.4 PPG (compared to 6.8 PPG last year), the 21 year old guard out of Lanier High School is the leading candidate for Most Improved player.


Monta Ellis

In 2001, the Golden State Warriors drafted superstar Gilbert Arenas with the 31st pick. He went on to win the Most Improved Player award in 2003. It is still very early in the season, but it looks like Monta is yet another steal for Golden State. Ellis is currently 3rd in scoring for the Warriors, who are #1 in PPG.

[TomCat]

nice article. i love how you do those articles!

yes i agree that Monta is a good draft steal, especially the way he is playin atm.

keep this going and i will continue to follow!

[3PK]

Nice article i'm loving this dynasty

MONTA ELIIS IS A STAR I LOVE THAT KID GO MONTA Keep up the winning ur looking really nice

Unstoppable Warriors Overcome Parker's Big Night To Win

San Antonio, Texas - Naysayers against the Golden State Warriors lost their last remaining argument as the Warriors scraped past the San Antonio Spurs 106-99. The game was close from the start. The Spurs jumped out to a 2 point lead after the first. At halftime, the two teams were tied at 56.

The Warriors took control in the third, leading by as many as 15. 88-77 Golden State going into the fourth. The Spurs put up a decent effort to come back, but it was all for naught. Monta Ellis put up a career high 26 points, and shot an amazing 11-13 from the field. However, San Antonio's backcourt really starred, combing for 51 points and 19 assists.

Arenas scores 56 in Tight Win over Former Team

December 20, 2006 | Wizards (8-4) @ Warriors (6-0)

37 22 24 16 99
36 25 22 19 102

Oakland, California - Gilbert Arenas had 3 targets this season: Phoenix, Portland and Washington, the team that traded him. Agent 0 achieved one of those goals tonight, scoring 56 points on 18-40 shooting. As an added bonus, his team won too, but only barely.

The game was tight from the starts. Wizards 37-36 after the first, 61-59 Warriors at the half. After a tightly contested third period, it was tied. The critical fourth quarter was an exciting one, both playing tight defense. In the end though, the Warriors led by 7 with a minute remaining. Despite a pair of clutch 3's by Baron, Golden State walked away with the win 102-99.

slow down young patawon...you are tearing shit up...way to go, I am loving this Arenas dropps 56 on Wizards! HOW great is that! Keep it up

[TomCat]

yeah good win. Gilbert is really consistant right now, and i hope he can stay that way for the entire season.

it seems that the Arenas trade with the Warriors wasnt un realistic. Baron, J-Rich and Caron each getting over 20 points. that is good for the Wiz.

Hope you lose soon nah go undefeated!

[3PK]

Nice win Gilbert for MVP but Baron and J-Rich had good games oh well Gilbert out scored them combined nice win keep it up

[jonthefon]

Hmm, Gilbert nearly paid the price for those 56 points, taking 40 shots. Still came up with the win, nice work

Warriors Acquire Playoff Veterans in Trade with Spurs

Oakland, CA - Earlier this season, GM Washburn completely revamped the Warriors team, making risky moves that ultimately paid off. The Chemistry adjusted fast, and the Warriors are 7-0. It came as a surprise when he made yet another move.

Warriors Recieve:

Guard Michael Finley
Forward Robert Horry

Spurs Recieve:

Guard Nick Van Exel
Guard Willie Green
Forward Zarko Cabarkapa



From the Spurs Point of View:

The Spurs (6-5) have had an underachieving season. They needed to revitalize their old roster, and did so by adding Green and Cabarkapa. Van Exel, who was on the roster last season has yet to play for the Warriors this season, and should get a few minutes backing up Parker now.

From the Warriors Point of View:

Sure, the Warriors are 7-0 now, but as star player Gilbert Arenas says, most of the wins were from teams that were either not playoff-caliber or injured. Playoffs are pretty much a given for the Warriors. Horry and Finley will be huge in the fourth quarters of games, and Horry has more rings than any other active player. All of this for 3 players that never got much burn on their roster. "Right now, we are one of those ambitious young teams that gets the top seed, then gets destroyed in the second or third round of the playoffs. Now, we are legitimate contenders", says GM Liam Washburn.

[jonthefon]

Damn, that is a nice move. Finley and Horry should do better than the three players you traded away

[TomCat]

yeah good trade. you will never lose a game now with Horry on the roster!

Every time that it looks like you will lose, just bring "Big Shot Bob" on the court

[Ty-Land]

Not a huge fan of the trade in the sense of realism, but no doubt it will help your team (especially come playoff time). Just can't see the trade ever happening in real life in any circumstances. But hey, it's your game, you do what you like with it and I'm sure it will be interesting!

Will be good to see what impact they have on your next game.

[3PK]

Nice trade it will help ur defense and shooting a lot and when it comes to finals the amount of experiance they offer will give you a massive edge and advantage over other teams but overall good trade
