Warriors Suffer Musona Blow

... match. Team doctor, Nick Munyonga yesterday told News Day Sport that, at best, Musona would be fit for the final group game. “Musona sustained a mild right hamstring strain. On assessment, we feel there is no muscle tear,” he said. “We are going to apply standard hamstring strain injury treatment modalities that include rest. He will not be rushed to return to play. Our target will be the third game, which is seven days away, if he is to get better. Players have different healing time, hence, it is difficult to be specific, as to when he will be fit to return to play.”. The Senegal match will be a crucial one for the Warriors, who started off with a 2-all draw against Algeria, following first-half goals from Kuda Mahachi and Nyasha Mushekwi, while Leicester forward, Riyad Mahrez scored in either half for the Desert Foxes. Senegal, on the other hand, emerged 2-0 winners against Tunisia, thrusting them to the top of Group B.

Warriors’ Evolution Will Be A Gripping Drama

... love to coach here, so I can build up my resume and move on to a better job as quickly as possible.”. Remember how the Warriors used to say that one consequence of their championship is that they had a target on their back and that every opponent would come at them with their “A” game? A lot of teams visiting Oracle bring their “C-minus” game, resting stars and conceding to the mighty W’s. Allen Iverson has signed on to coach a team in Ice Cube’s new 3-on-3 basketball league for ex-pros. Iverson doesn’t have players yet, but the first thing he did was cancel practice. Knucklehead of the Week. Smart play by the Chargers’. . Before deciding to move his team north, he waited for the Rams to settle into the Los Angeles market and prove that L. A. is not a hot pro football town. Maybe it’s the new NFL math. If L. A. will only half-support a half-ass pro football team, maybe two mediocre teams will equal full fanaticism. The Chargers’ move is a reminder that while the team’s cool logo is the lightning bolt, a ...

Warriors Annihilate Cleveland For A Full 48 Minutes

... Dec. 10. We know they have the NBA’s best record and are generally dominating anyone who comes their way with 35-6 record — not a record-setting pace, but a 70-win one nevertheless. And yet, as our esteemed colleague Paul Flannery pointed out, the only outcome in this game that would have really been worrisome is if the Warriors didn’t show up. I would've been a little worried about the Warriors if they didn't play like this tonight. — Paul Flannery (@Pflanns) January 17, 2017. Riding a four-game losing streak against the Cavaliers dating back to June, and after not just losing, but blowing a double-digit fourth quarter lead on Christmas Day, Golden State needed to beat them. We’re all expecting a rematch between these two in this year’s Finals, and the outcome of the two regular season games doesn’t really matter like those games will. But the Warriors needed a ...

Warriors Hold Fancied Algeria

... Our objective is to reach the second round and we will work towards that.”. Pasuwa’s opposite number Georges Leekens remarked: “This is just the first match and first matches are always difficult in any major competition. “We had a bad first half and it affected our game plan. We resumed stronger in the second half and managed to equalize. Zimbabwe was always going to be difficult. There are no small teams here. “We made mistakes in the first half that allowed Zimbabwe to play. The penalty was also a huge mistake. We have one point and we will hope to have the three points in the next matches.”. Nyasha Mushekwi scored Zimbabwe's second. The Warriors forced a share of the spoils after falling behind when Riyad Mahrez put his side ahead with a curling shot on 13 minutes that goalkeeper Tatenda Mukuruva could only watch. However, the lead proved temporary as winger Kuda Mahachi, full of energy and trickery, weaved his way past two Algerian players to score a beautiful leveller on 82 minutes after being set up Nyasha Mushekwi. A few minutes later, as left-back Onismo Bhasera charged towards goal, he was hacked down in the penalty area and the referee justifiably ...

Nba-best Warriors Still Searching For Right Balance Between Risk And Reward

... Warriors often are at the best when improvising. Without that element, this band of Warriors may as well play straight from sheet music. Artists take chances. Sometimes the result is a spectacular play that fans remember for years. Other times, it’s it ruins the set. Kerr doesn’t want to kill the element of improvisation. He wants use it more judiciously, saving it for special moments. He believes this band is good enough to play it straight and still provide plenty of entertainment. “The simple leads to the spectacular,” Kerr says. “That’s one of my pet sayings. But it’s always a balance with this team the last couple years. We are a little loose; it’s part of who we are and I accept that and I embrace it. “But know when to draw the line, and understand that part of what’s going to make a special play is four or five simple actions to start the play itself.

Warriors Roll Pistons Behind 72 From Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson

... to worry. The Pistons are better when Drummond is on the bench. There's no getting around that as the numbers plainly show. For example, the Pistons are outscored by 7.6 points per 100 possessions with Drummond and Tobias Harris on the floor together. Take Drummond off, and keep Harris on, and the Pistons outscore their opponent by 4.4 points per 100 possessions. Against the Warriors, the Pistons' rebounding numbers went up with Drummond on the bench, and they gave up 10.2 points less per 100 possessions. This is getting to be a little bit of an elephant in the room for the Pistons. If Drummond can't make them better as a unit, they're not only going to struggle, but their long-term direction is in question. Ja Vale Mc Gee had more offensive rebounds (3) than Drummond (2). 4. The 3-ball remains vital. The Pistons shot 6-of-28 from deep vs. the Warriors. Golden State shot 15-of-29. They outscored the Pistons by 27 points from long-range. If you can't keep pace in that territory through defense or offense, you're never going to survive. Them's the rules. 5. Next up for the Warriors: A nice,long three-day stretch to game plan for the next biggest game of their ...
