Playing crunchtime minutes against the best team recordwise in the NBA and making huge plays, namely defensive ones.

LOL ISAYUGH waived this guy and paid 30+mil for Jeffries.

I was excited about having Barnes when we got him, but at the time he was released he was not doing jack for the team. I'm not exactly certain that all of the fault should lay upon Isiah either. The coach is certainly accountable as well. Hindsight is 20/20.

Matt Barnes said his biggest credit to his improved play is Nelson giving him a defined role and telling him to work on shooting 3's. The problem with this franchise no role player really has a defined role at least not until this yr maybe. Just think if ISAYUGH waived a guy everytime that player never did well from the start. Shouldn't Jeffries have been waived if that's the case, what about Jerome James or the Channing Frye of this yr? One of Barnes' strength is defense and I'd wager he played just as good of defense as Jeffries did here.

The athleticism is incredible of GS. That said, they will get blown out by 50 in game 2.

No they won't they just might win by double digits again.

They could but I dont think they will. To many weapons. I think they will eventually need to involve Biendrins more on the interior D. They have somewhat of a similar style to Pheonix but you would have to think a lack of a big will get them at some point? i dont know they have been ripping teams.

Player for player, GS is no better than the Knicks when it comes to talent. It's the coaching and organizational leadership where the difference is made.

Compared to this year or last years team??? Last year Curry averaged 14 ppgs, Davis was the starting four, Lee was a back up small forward, Q was averaging 8 points ppg and Mebury was falling apart. That is the team Matt Barns started on.




GState has a chance because Baron Davis is probably the best player on the court. Dirk is soft!!!

If Dirk is soft, then what's Curry?

Totally untrue. GS has more talent than the Knicks. The Knicks have the Names, GS has the players.

Im sorry but this ^^^ is a complete joke. And yes the organizational and leadership is completely different but Knicks cannot even touch GS talent level.

Well enjoy calling him soft while he hoists the MVP trophy over his head during the playoffs while Curry will be sitting in front his TV with 2 dozens White Castle Burgers. So yea I'll take Dirk's playoff appearances, 25 points 9 boards, all-star appearances, over an over-weight underachiever anyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

To be fair, the Warriors have better pieces than we do. They also tried to build a team and got a coach who could help them advance. They also made a few really smart moves, the kind that Isiah gets criticized for not making. That being said, that squad probably peaks around 50 wins within the next few years. Athletic teams tend to be overrated by fans and the Warriors are no different. There's a reason why they're a number 8 seed. I still don't think they have much of a chance against the superior Dallas team, even if GS has been impressive head-to-head.

Neither team is a good example of how to build an NBA team. I mean these are the same Warriors that drafted Mike Dunleavy #3.
