Gutted about the loss? So am I.

Here's a wonderful play-by-play analysis I read from DB.com boards.  Credit to mavsfan81 who spent the time going back through the 4th quarter and coming up with this.

Now, I'm not trying to point any fingers, but I think it speaks for itself.  Probably has something to do with Carlise's 'too many minutes' quotes after the game?

You decide.

With everyone accusing everyone else of not watching the game, I decided to re-watch the 4th quarter and tabulate how the Warriors actually scored their 33 points. Now, obviously, the Mavs were in zone sometimes, but even then, it was a matchup zone, so you can see who had the cover. This is not to say who is at fault (in some of these pick and rolls, the switching was a mess), but instead to point who the Warriors were attacking. Points scored off of plays run at JJB are in red, transition/non half court set(fouls in the backcourt) points are in blue, other half court points are in black...

-Ellis blows by JJB with a crossover for a layup: 2 points
-Ellis drives past JJB for a layup, AND-1: 3 points
-Ellis and Mikki Moore in a pick and roll against Humphries and Barea, they got switched up, and Mikki Moore got an easy shot from there: 2 points
-Ellis and Mikki Moore in a pick and roll against Humphries and Barea, another switch, but Barea goes back to help on penetration by Ellis and fouls him. Ellis makes both FTs: 2 points
-In the zone, they isolate Ellis on Humphries, and he blows past him for the layup : 2 points

 

-After a made basket, Ellis pushed it up the court to Morrow, who was spotting up and he hit a 3 over a closing out Hump: 3 points
-Loose ball foul on Humphries, GSW hits 2 FTs: 2 points
-Transition alley oop to Randolph: 2 points
-Curry dribbles around JJB with the help of a Randolph screen and hits a top of the key 2: 2 points
-Curry drives around JJB and JJB fouls him, he makes both FTs: 2 points
-Transition wide open 3 for Curry: 3 points
-Ellis drives past JJB on a screen and roll. It was a soft screen, JJB went under it then stopped and switched onto Morrow, who Kidd was also going back towards, opening the lane up for Ellis: 2 points
-Curry goes around Terry and shoots a tear drop over Dirk: 2 points
-Ellis drives at Terry, Kidd traps, they dump it down to Randolph, Kidd strips him but it rolls to Ellis for a layup: 2 points
-Intentional foul in the backcourt: 2 points

 

JJB scored against - 15 points
Transition/non half court set - 12 points
Non-JJB scored against in half court- 6 points

In Summary: Out of their 21 half court points, 15 came in plays run directly at JJB. About half way through this exercise (about the time Anthony Morrow blew past JJB, Tim Thomas came over to help, and then had to foul Radmonivich), I realized that I should have tabulated every half court set, even those that did not result in points, but it was too late, and I didn't feel like going back and retabulating all of that. Suffice it say that a vast majority of their plays were run directly at him, largely because GSW had 3 athletic guards (Morrow, Curry, Ellis), and whoever JJB was guarding (either straight up man or matched up against in the zone), had a huge mismatch.
