Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[fidstar]

Just imagine if we had a serviceable big to come in behind Dray. Mo is a warm turd.

Mo has a total of one good play on either end of the court. The pick and pop. He should get benched when he tries anything else.

When he goes one on one it is horrid.

It's hard to believe at this time last year he was favorite for the 6th man award. http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/3438/sixth-man-of-the-first-trimester-2

Ian Clark has been great. He has seemed to fit in with everything from the start unlike some of the other back up PGs we have had recently e.g. Steve Blake/Jordan Crawford/Toney Douglas

 

[fidstar]

Agree. As we sit now I think he will be taking Barbosa's rotation spot and the blur will just be depth at the guard spot.

Soooo, that Draymond Green guy can play a bit. Will the warriors have 2 all star starters?

Was fifth in west front court voting as of Christmas...but that list inclused Kobe in the front court (?)...so really fourth I am guessing. Won't catch Durant but it was tight between Griffin, Kawhi, Dray and Brow.

In summary...yep, I think he starts.

 

[fidstar]

Only one starter this year.

2 more on the bench though.

Start Dray at centre!

Westbrook, Curry, Leonard, KD, Green... killer small ball!

It probably will be (if Blake is out). Except it will be Bryant instead of Grenn

Curry knocked down his 150th 3 for the season.

Still on track for 375ish 3s for the year.

Could do now, but it's close. Kawhi Leonard should be a starter though (even ahead of Green). The recent media about Green is certainly helping.

Lee now out of Boston's rotation. Hard to believe less than two years ago he was an 18/9 guy.

His Per36 numbers are fairly consistent. It's just that his lack of defense kills him these days.

Draymond another triple double!

What do people think of continuing to play HB with the 2nd unit? Rush is really finding form and while I don't think he is quite as good as HB and weakens the starters slightly it makes the bench unit much stronger. Livingston, Clark, Iggy, Barnes and Ezeli is more then handy and you can switch and mix anyway to get that small ball line up in when you need.

Ultimately Rush needs to do it off the bench...cos thats where he'll be post season.

This.

They are just working Barnes in giving more minutes each game. Normally it would be while he is starting, but since the first unit is going well they are doing it with him off the bench.

He was really good in the first two games back. Had a poor shooting night against the Blazers.

Curry looked back to his best today after his recent troubles despite Rondo still playing aggressive. Draymond just shows time and time again why he is such an important player. He can play so many different roles. Today it was the hot shooter and he did it well.

I love seeing Boogie get worked up... Walking technical foul when he's like that.

Curry has set the single season record for most games with 8 or more 3 pointers with his seventh such game of the season.

It's the 10th of January...

 

[Calcium Man]

Looks at the Kings bench before it even goes in

 

[CJApples87]

And I'm pretty sure that's Seth directly behind him, so he was probably looking at him.

 

[bombersbackyard]

expecting a big game from the draymond express after the beef with whiteside from august about small ball

 

[fidstar]

Half way to 72 wins now.

Crazy.

Got my tickets for Warriors/Rockets at Oracle in about a months time, very keen. OKC game is so freaking expensive

It's funny thinking back to how much DG used to cop from warriors internet fans. He's completely turned it on its head that's how much he's improved. Can't think of many who have improved so greatly as he has.
