Has Harrison Barnes done anything to change your 'he won't be a star' view?

Not really. That smash over Pekovic was awesome, don't get me wrong, but when I watch Barnes I still don't see the feel or ball skills that would translate into a scorer. His selling point is that he might shoot 40% on 3s and be a plus defender at the small forward spot.

Is it just me or have Carl Landry and David Lee improved as defenders this season? I thought the Warriors would be much worse defensively with those two on the floor than it has been.

I'm as surprised as you are. Figured that lineup would be toast on a stick, but the W's have been pretty solid defensively. Instead it's their offense that's holding them back.

It does kinda suck that our offense hasn't clicked as good as expected yet, but at this point im putting that on Klay Thompson and curry. Those guys need to shoot better.

lee, Landry, Barnes and even jack have stepped up on that end.

But it's been proven so far. Good defense wins games regardless of how average our offense is on any given night.

see I would see that as extremely encouraging. Klay thompson and steph curry are two of the best shooters on the planet. They are way way way too good of shooters to struggle forever. If klay thompsons shooting is our biggest concern... we have a chance to be a really really good team when those guys are shooting decently.

We could be the low seed team no one wants to face if Bogut does come back this year. If he does.

LOL well if bogut comes back this year (2012)... we have a chance to be a middle team 5 or 6.

wheres the link?

curry and klay dont need to shoot better..they need to PLAY better. limiting them to just shooting is too one dimensional. drive and kick, attack the basket, get free throws.

[COOLbeans]

Currys been doing that and so has Klay

[MackShock]

great news (:

[MackShock]

but they need to do it more. if their jumper aint falling, it makes no sense to shoot MORE.

[COOLbeans]

Yup

well they want to see it go through hoop. its tuff to get out of a slump by passing up shots. But yeah- just play basketball and dont try to make up for a week of bad shooting with every shot.

Mackshock, the warriors are going to be tested like never before. Now they may not make the playoffs like i predicted. They won't have Bogut this year and he was the reason why people thought they might make it.
