FOURTH QUARTER:

** 11:21/11:09: What’s impressive about Ronny Turiaf’s block numbers is that they’re not inflated somehow by compiling easy numbers. Many times, rebounding numbers can be influenced by guys who scoop up easy boards (think Ben Wallace chasing down that Ellis airball Friday for Cleveland and fumbling it out of bounds in a naked bit of attempted stat-padding). But with one-on-one rejections of Thornton and Gordon on back-to-back possessions, you can see that Turiaf never shies away from a challenge.

** 8:14: Now we know it’s a blowout — Randolph back in for Azubuike, who has looked great tonight.

** 7:31: Geez, the Clippers can’t even throw a decent lead pass.

** 5:35: Anthony Randolph has lost confidence in his mid-range jumper. It was never terrific, but he has gone ice cold on that shot in the last month or so.

** So, a 4-3 homestand that could have been 6-1. I’m not necessarily convinced this roster, even with full health for a full season, is good enough to compete for a playoff spot in the West, but at least the team is now winning games that it should.

** 1:21: Marcus Williams with the behind-the-back pass that zooms out of bounds at 147 mph. I know you’re rusty, but c’mon.

THIRD QUARTER:

** 10:22: Jackson is really working over Al Thornton, and the Clippers were lucky to salvage something out of that possession.

** 9:29: Great one-touch look from Biedrins. His court vision has improved so much this season, it’s kind of astounding.

** 6:54: That’s the second game in a row where Azubuike wheels in from the left wing, storms down the lane and dunks with his right hand. Is that a well-designed offensive play, or simply horrible defense?

** For all of the complaining that people do about Jackson’s rough edges as an offensive initiator — and I’ve been, at times, in the vanguard of that movement — think about how much worse it be if you were having to watch Ricky Davis flounder about in the same situation.

** Ricky Davis: Blowing defensive assignments in the NBA since the 20th century.

** Hey, if I was Baron Davis, I wouldn’t want to hurry back to rejoin this team either.

SECOND QUARTER:

** I didn’t realize until today that Ricky Davis has played one more year in the league (10) than Baron (9). Ricky just doesn’t seem that old. Or maybe Baron seems older than he should.

** 10:09: Maggettee overpowers Steve Novak on the break — that’s not a fair fight.

** 9:20: Good to see the Warriors continue to look for Anthony Morrow trailing at the elbows in transition.

** 7:48: Well, if Ronny Turiaf is going to bang home 20-footers, maybe we can avoid the seemingly inevitable game-winning shot at the end of the game.

** Cazzie: The team’s response is, basically, that it’s all part of the package. They would prefer that he wouldn’t do that, but they know he’s not going to change at this point of his career.

** Lottery: I’m sure we’ll see Monta, although probably not until the second half. As for Randolph, I certainly hope so, given that the Warriors should be leading by 20-plus going into the fourth quarter.

** Or, you know, maybe Watson will make a mistake at both ends of the floor as soon as I post that, and then we’ll see Monta again.

** DeAndre, I realize your game from 8 feet might not be that polished, but you CAN’T DUNK FROM THERE!

** 1:29: The floater from 12-15 feet seems to be in place for Ellis, but the 15-20-foot J is missing entirely.

** 1:00: At times, it really seems like referees flip a mental coin when trying to decide if a call goes for or against Maggette.

** 0:00: Ellis is the only guy on this team who could make that reverse layup.

FIRST QUARTER:

** Can’t wait to see Eric Gordon after watching him light it up against the Kings in preseason.

** If you can’t stop the alley oop to Biedrins (one of the Warriors’ favorite plays, and something they constantly try), that’s a sign you’re not that well-coached a team.

** DeAndre Jordan, congratulations. You made me LOL with that missed dunk attempt.

** Stephen Jackson has GOT to stop throwing balls into double-coverage. He’s starting to look like Jeff George out there, oblivious to the futility of his passing.

** Well, Anthony Randolph is going to get a chance to play through his mistakes after allowing that driving dunk to Al Thornton. Hopefully, he’ll prove it worthwhile.

** 5:20: Randolph to Ellis to Randolph for the slam — that’s a play Warriors fans are hoping to see for a number of years to come. It also illustrates how the Warriors fast break is supposed to work but wasn’t for the longest time: Defensive rebound by a big who dribbles out to his own 3-point line, then fires a 30-foot lead pass to a guard who can make the right choice and — voila! — two points.

** 3:57: Ahhh, those young kids — Eric Gordon with a 70-foot oop try for Jordan.

** 3:01: That’s a ridiculous offensive foul on Randolph.

** I like getting Monta out of the game earlier. He was clearly tired in the fourth on Friday, so this should help alleviate that.

** 0:00: They ought to give Maggette the halfcourt buzzer-beater, just on style points alone.
