Warriors Forward Jeremy Tyler Injured
Strained MCL; Expected To Miss 4-6 Weeks



OAKLAND -- Warriors forward Jeremy Tyler will likely miss 4-6 weeks because of a strained MCL that occured during Golden State's victory over Denver on Saturday night. Tyler has averaged 2.3 rebounds in 10.3 minutes this season. While not on paper, a huge role, Tyler provided size and length off of the bench. Andris Biedrins is most likely to fill the spot until Tyler returns because of his size. We expect to see the first action of rookie Draymond Green because of this injury as well.

I will now be moving on to a new format. Instead of playing and analyzing every game, which would take forever to make it through the season. I will be looking at the schedule of each month on the Calender and choosing the DAY with the most games that month, if there are days with the same total of games, I will choose the one that has more teams I HAVEN'T played. Should move the season along well. Up next is the Pistons. I'll post the Spurs game box score in an hour or so! Thanks to everyone who is following this!

EDIT: Of course I will be posting the box scores for all my games as they happen, and I will be providing detailed, monthly results results about the rest of the league as well. Stay tuned!

Spurs Remain Undefeated, Hand Warriors First Loss, 91-82
Parker and Duncan Combine For 46

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Warriors' dreams of going 4-0 on the season were crushed by a focused Spurs team, namely their bench. The combined bench points of the game was 40, only 8 of them being from Golden State. With such fire power coming from the Spurs and seemingly nothing to get the Warriors jump started, the Spurs coasted to an easy victory. Golden State seemingly had a chance to come back in this one with nearly 3:00 left and only down 7, but it seemed the Warriors just couldn't muster up the will to catch-up. Bad pun, I apologize.

Coach Jackson didn't like the pun, either I guess.

Either way, the Warriors will take on the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night at ORACLE Arena. The Pistons are 2-1 on the season, and the Warriors look to even up the Pistons' win-loss columns and tip their own to 4-1. Tip-off is at 5:30 pm PST.

BREAKING NEWS: Klay Thompson Sprains Ankle, Out For 4-6 Weeks
Thompson Injured Ankle During 1st Quarter Of Pistons Game, Warriors Lead 46-41 At Half



OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warrior guard Klay Thompson landed awkwardly on his ankle jumping for a rebound in the 1st half of action tonight. What almost looked like a flop to get a foul actually turned out to be a serious ankle injury for Klay. Thompson is averaging 12.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steal in 30.0 minutes per contest this season. Klay will most likely miss anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks.

Despite Big Performances By Stuckey, Knight, Warriors Beat Pistons 93-86
David Lee Has 5th Straight Double-Double

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Warriors seem to have developed a trend, letting two players light them up and playing sound team defense on everybody else. This was definitely the case tonight against the Piston. Rodney Stuckey and Brandon Knight combined for 53 points, 5 steals, 4 assists, 2 blocks and only 3 turnovers, but the rest of the Pistons squad was virtually ineffective. Greg Monroe went 2-12 in the contest, being blocked by both David Lee and Andrew Bogut on multiple occasions. David Lee, never known for his defense, seems very pleased with his defensive work in the season thus far.

"I feel great. I worked out a lot in the off season, on my legs, to get my vertical back to what it was in high school. And it had paid off, blocks are a little easier, my jump is a little quicker. You just love to see as a player, improvement on your game. You see the hard work paying off in front of you." said Lee.

Some local media outlets had portrayed Richard Jefferson as having a "conflict" with rookie Harrison Barnes' role in the offense. Jefferson, on multiple occasions has stated this is simply not the case and might have put the rumors to rest tonight. On a fast break, Richard Jefferson was controlling the rock with Harrison Barnes trailing him and only Detroit guard Brandon Knight defending. Barnes kicked it into another gear and got a break on Knight as Jefferson threw a masterful alley oop which Harrison Barnes threw down with emphasis. The crowd was electric as Detroit called a timeout. FSN Bay Area announcer Bob Fitzgerald was quoted as saying, "That was so symbolic ... after everything that has been said, to see the team play between the two, is a great sign for the future of this team."

Bynum Grabs 18 Rebounds In Loss To Warriors, 89-86
Andrew Bogut Grabbed 14 Rebounds, Along With 8 From David Lee



OAKLAND, Calif. -- Points did not come easy for either team tonight. At times both teams looked lost within the flow of their own offenses, with usually such fluid teams, it was odd to see. Luckily both teams got back on track and started scoring at a higher pace. This was a real nail biter til the end. Stephen Curry stepped up and made great passes and clutch free throws on the way to an 89-86 victory over Philadelphia. "The free throws are routine to me by now, clutch time, practice time, beginning of the half, whatever, I'm gonna make more than I miss." said Curry about his free throw shooting.

The Warriors move to 6-3 on the season and will face Washington at ORACLE Arena on Sunday before heading out on the road to take on Boston, Brooklyn and Minnesota, respectively.
