10/29: Warriors 4 Bagger

We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now.
- Allen Iverson on the importance of practice

Like AI’s speech, the repetitious and meaningless NBA preseason is finally over. Here we are on the eve of the Warriors’ season opener against the Utah Jazz.

  • Notes, highlights, and video of yesterday’s open practice from the fans’ point of view. Includes detailed report of offensive and defensive sets in a comment by OptionZero. [GSoM]
  • Open practice recap on the official Warriors.com blog. [Warriors.com]
  • In-depth analysis of individual performances by Adam Lauridsen. [Fast Break]
  • Jason Gurney of Ballhype fame put together a best-case, worst-case, and most-likely-case comparisons for each of the Warriors for this season. Kelenna Azubuike as Mitch Richmond? Heck yes! [GSoM]
  • Extended media attention of the Warriors begins right here in the Bay. [Warriors.com]
  • Your obligatory "what this season holds" piece. [SFGate]
  • The front office decided not to extend TFRJ favorite Andris Biedrins beyond this year. I’m disappointed, but this isn’t detrimental either way. [Merc]
  • Nothing provides better comic relief than the annual public rookie hazing. The four rooks and Azubuike (who's still counted as a rook) had to learn Soulja Boy, courtesy of Al Harrington and three kids from the audience. Marco needs work.
