The Warriors are just fine without Richardson.
The league screwed them the first 7 games.
They are 18-7 with Jackson in the lineup.
You've never seen mono's posts have you?

The 18 wins with him in the lineup are fluke wins. No way they win those games if their opponents hit shots they would usually hit. Just got lucky 18 times with him in the lineup is all.
Let's go Warriors!
J-Rich was their 3rd best play last year. The 2 main Mav Killers were Baron and Jackson especially in the clutch. This Azubuka kid seems like hes fitting in nicely as well. The sad part is Ellis and Harrington were non-factors in that series and they still kicked our asses. Imagine how much worse we would have lost to them if those 2 had been factors. This team can get any basket they want, they can bully the out of us, taunt us, make us lose our composue and get into our heads, and they have the players to shut our offense down especially Dirk.
spot on i say
O/U on half-court/behind the back/eyes closed miracle shots hit by the Warriors is at 3 right now.
Easy, jackass. English is obviously a second or third language for him/her. I bet you would sound pretty foolish trying to say the same thing in French.Ummm English please
Actually, he does fine sounding foolish in English.
I thought this dude was from Boston.
Warriors get up especially for the Mavs. Mavs will lose, maybe even blowout. I will be surprised if Dirk even shows up.
Playing on the road has not bothered the Golden State Warriors lately, but they are about to visit what may be the most unfriendly environment they will face all season.
A very unpleasant atmosphere likely awaits the Warriors on Wednesday in their first trip back to Dallas since they stunned the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.
"With what's gone on over the past year and a half between these teams, any time we meet it's going to be a big game," Dallas' Jerry Stackhouse said after his team won 120-115 at Golden State on Nov. 8.
That was the first matchup between the teams since the Warriors upset the league-best Mavericks in six games, including a Game 1 victory in Dallas, to become the first No. 8 seed to win a best-of-seven playoff series.
Baron Davis tormented the Mavericks throughout that series, averaging 25.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists, and he nearly rallied the Warriors (19-13) to victory in the only meeting this season. He scored 15 of his season-high 37 points in the fourth quarter, but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds.
That defeat, which ended Golden State's five-game regular season win streak over Dallas (20-11), was part of an 0-6 start for the Warriors. They have not lost back-to-back games since, going 19-7 to climb to seventh in the Western Conference standings and within 1 1/2 games of the fourth-place Mavs.
"We have more of a rivalry with San Antonio or Phoenix, but the way the Warriors have been playing, it can definitely turn into one," reigning MVP Dirk Nowitzki said after the Nov. 8 meeting.
This is the eighth time playing on the road in the past 10 games for Golden State, which has won five of six away from home. The Warriors are looking to complete a perfect three-game road trip after impressive wins on back-to-back nights, beating Northwest Division-leading Denver 105-95 before defeating Houston 112-95 on Monday.
Davis again came up big in the latest win, scoring or assisting on six of Golden State's first eight baskets of a fourth quarter in which his team outscored the Rockets 37-15. Davis finished with 23 points, seven assists and six rebounds.
"Any time we're in the fourth quarter and we're trying to get some buckets, we'll just put the ball in Baron's hands and we start playing off him," said Stephen Jackson, who had 18 points. "That's been highly successful for us."
Davis has averaged 26.8 points and 9.0 assists over the last five games.
Nowitzki has not been as effective recently for Dallas, shooting 40 percent from the field and 4-of-14 from 3-point range in the last three games. The Mavericks lost two of those games, though they are coming off a 97-84 win over Atlanta on Saturday.
Nowitzki surely would like to use Wednesday's game to break out of his minor slump after being highly criticized for his poor playoff series last season versus Golden State, shooting 38.3 percent and getting held to 19.7 points per game.
Nowitzki had 22 points and 11 rebounds in the first meeting this season.
He was 8-of-19 from the field for 22 points Saturday as the Mavericks shot below 44 percent and were held under 100 points for the third straight game.
"We know we're a good shooting team," said Mavs guard Jason Terry. "Shooters keep shooting."
Dirk is subtly trying to dismiss G.S as if G.S. is the team that's been losing in this match up. He's right though, for it to be a rivalry, both teams have to exchange wins/losses, the Warriors have dominated, winning 10 of the last 14 overall meetings.
Somehow, someway the Mavs and Warriors have to again meet in the first round
Can't wait for the game... I hope Josh can contain Stephen Jackson, since this guy has been lights off this year.
baron davis and stephen jackson are gonna walk into dallas with a smirk on their face.
It's the freakin truth man. I swear I never see a team hit as many bizzare shots as the Warriors do against the Mavericks.
I'll be at the game tonight and will likely utter the phrase "You've got to be ing kidding me" about 12 times.
Pretty much. Although Jason Richardson was one of the main ones who would hit the bizzare shots, so we don't have to worry about him as much.
The power GS holds over the Mavs is incredible. Baron Davis went from "overrated bricklaying ballhog who is always hurt" to "basketball Jesus" simply from hitting lucky shots against Dallas.
Yeah, but the Dubz will have the homecourt advantage this time around! I can't wait for tonight's game, the warriors feed off of opposing crowds cheering against them...especially all those homer Mav fans who still beleive we only beat them through hitting lucky half court shotsSomehow, someway the Mavs and Warriors have to again meet in the first round
I mean if we only won every game by a few points I could understand, but we DOMINATED! The Warriors made their own luck by busting ass and sticking to their game. As for JRich, I sincerely miss the guy as Dubz fan...but so far I have no complaints with the team Mullin has put out on the court as Azubuike and Monta have filled in nicely in his absence....

Ha! Shows what you know! The fans at the game won't have a clue unless you shoot a ing t-shirt out of a cannon. Advantage: Dallas.
For every thread SpursDynasty makes about the Spurs, he makes 4 about the Mavericks.
Notice he doesn't post much in the Spurs forum...he knows he'll be torn to shreds over there...we love him in here though...
