It sounds like Curry is playing tonight against the Suns. I am interested in seeing the improved Warriors.

GS has a nice blend of size and athleticism.

I'd bench Gortat, he's playing cowardly. Not so much in the big things that show up in stats, it's the little things that are pissing me off.

No doubt he seems to be playing like a finesse center.

Also since he will not sign an extension with the Suns... trade him.

It's getting worse though. I'm pretty sure I swore at him 4 or 5 plays in a row, both ends of the court. He's playing likes he's afraid he'll rip his Evening Gown.

He certainly should not be nicknamed The Hammer.

Glad to see Marshall getting minutes.

I should probably expound on my post before someone gets the idea I'm insulting female basketball players. I don't think he's playing like a girl, I think he's playing like someone wearing a full length evening gown, heels included. Actually, it's worst than that, he's playing as if that expensive evening wear is a rental.

I wish Gortat had the bulk and intensity of Scola. Scola uses his body well. It's like he knows where the ball is going and somehow manages to get there.

He does at that. He's incredibly strong and really knows how to use that strength.

I've been trying to think of a better description but can't. :D

Beasley could really help himself to do more moving without the ball. That Dragic and Beasley alley-oop should happen at least once a game to make the defense worry about it.

Interesting Hunter is playing Marshall with Dragic. I like the idea.

Scola didn't flop there, no matter what the Warriors and fans think. He put himself in a position where he'd be easy to knock over but the guy definitely went into his space enough to topple Luis.

Maybe it will get there. Baby steps for now I guess.

Most nights our games don't go past the 3rd quarter.

One of the reasons I like Scola, he is like a bull in a china shop.

Dragic not backing down from Bogut. They were exchanging words. No love loss there.

Despite missing that little 5 footer, Gortat at least looks like he's changed into a Tuxedo this half.

Barnes, Thompson and Curry are scary good.

For a short while there it seemed the refs were on a mission for the Warriors. Now, with GS unfortunately in control, they've gone back to allowing the same type of contact at both ends. I'm wondering if one of our guys didn't piss them off or something because until that stretch they had called a fairly even game.
