Told you the Warriors weren’t back at home. The last two games at Oracle, they nearly lost to lowly Minnesota and lost to Denver.

I didn’t tape the game, so I can’t go back to check. Based on my memory, Monta was the one running out at Vince. Usually, the guy running out is the one who was supposed to be there in the first place. Could he have been covering for Baron? Possible. I’d bet that Nellie was chewing out Baron for getting beat off the dribble so easy, which set up Vince’s open 3-pointer.

They have enough long range shooters and 3 pt. shooters. There is no wide body on the warriors to take up space or do any real inside work or damage for rebounds. I feel Leon Powe would be a great asset for the warriors. He’s a great rebounder, young, and a homegrown product. Boston is not using him all that much and a good deal may be possible. He could only be an asset for the warriors.

You sure it was Monta who left VC open?

Phoenix looks vulnerable with an Amare that looks like McDyess post-op than the beast from years past. Lakers are healthy with Odom finally contributing with Sir Kobe. Portland is the little engine that could and has the record to best the Warriors. Utah and Houston are willing and able to take the 7-8th seed from the G-men should we falter. Besides the Spurs who are coasting and resting players, I can’t say there is a big difference from the teams 2-10 in the Western Conference with all teams capable of first round upsets.

Earl Boykins. I want someone who can shoot. Earl isn’t a point guard. But I’d rather have someone who can knock down an outside shot consistently than someone who is a true point guard.
If not Earl, I’d go after Tyronn Lue.

I wouldn’t consider the Warriors’ turnaround at home complete. Of those 7 wins, five came against the Clippers without Brand, Milwaukee, Miami and San Antonio without Tim Duncan. Of course, they get points for winning the games they should win, and beating Phoenix, Houston and the Lakers were good wins. But let’s not say call them world beaters at home yet. Let’s see how they do against Denver, New Orleans and a healthy San Antonio – all of which are coming up in the next couple of weeks.

The Warriors are playing much better D and it shows up in the win columns. I think this last road trip was the longest of the season, so we can look forward to more wins than loses as long–and it is a big IF–Baron and Jax stay healthy, knock on wood.

Merry Christmas Marucs!!
