It’s not impossible Tdubb (particularly with more favorable match-ups) but as Monta implied by way of comparison with Baron they lack the big bodies, are not lock down defenders, and in Curry’s case have no prior experienced at this level. Another factor is the absence of strong defensive prowess among the dubs forwards to help compensate.

For those of you that didn’t do the homework, Thomas 6’0″, Dumars 6’3″, Johnson 6’2″ and Agguire 6’6″.

Just so you know.

It’s funny to hear all this talk about how two small’s can play with each other. Check out the height of Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas and Vinnie “Microwave” Johnson. And small forward Mark Agguire? 89-90 NBA Champions.

I’m not putting the W’s in the finals but hell, in this league Chris Paul is a dominant player and he guards someone.

Curry can play, Monta can play and Morrow can play….The NBA is about match ups on both ends and adjustments. If there are no more injuries it’s on Nellie to figure it out on the defensive end!

Let’s see how they do tonite facing the Lakers.

For nicknames I propose for Randolph and Morrow, “The Twin Tonys.” Unfortunately that leaves it kind of up in the air when you’re only talking about one of them….heh, heh.

I want to add my voice to the praise Marcus received for this post. As a dubs fan I’m desperate for current analysis of how the team and individuals are actually performing rather than the endless sensationalistic soap opera focus on what’s going on behind the scenes.

As everyone acknowledges it is hard to see how Nellie can make the two smalls work as a regular back court combo. But we’re nevertheless in a great position with Curry backing up Monta at PG. It forces the organization to more gradually introduce Curry, to allow him to find his feet at this level. This way in a year or so the team will have a good idea about which of the two to stay with. That will give them a quality player to trade for someone who fits better with the overall team make-up. Given Curry is the better passer and it seems defender I wonder how much production as a scorer he needs to reach the tipping point where Monta’s scoring brilliance gets outweighed? And if we trade Jack who is going to provide assists when Curry is not on the court? For all his turnovers he averaged 6.5 assists, far more than any other current player on the roster.

Someone’s gotta go. There is a logjam waiting to happen. Ellis was right, Curry & Ellis can’t coexist together in the backcourt. Ellis sucks on D and would get destroyed by opposing big SG’s. So what to do? If Curry isn’t going to start, then why was he made “untouchable” in the Amare trade talks? Ridiculous. You have a few options available for the W’s backcourt & lineup, and all of them have their potential drawbacks that make one conclude that the best scenario would be trading Ellis or someone…

ellis/sjax/azu = like last yr, W’s would lack passing
ellis/morrow/sjax = like last yr,W’s would lack passing
curry/ellis/sjax = undersized, destroyed on D
curry/sjax/azu = this might work, trade Ellis 4 Josh H.
curry/morrow/sjax = rookie/soph/vet/soph/mid-vet … yeah this might work but you lose Ellis’ slashing ability and not many teams this young win in the NBA. also is Morrow the real deal or an Eddie House clone?

the problem with having Ellis on the team is he, like Iverson, ballhogs too much to play PG and is too undersized/inept on D to play SG. AI has scored a lot, but it’s no wonder Iverson hasn’t won much in his career. And Ellis is basically a poor man’s Iverson. I think it’s futile to have Curry sit on the bench when you could’ve had AMARE. Yet if he starts, then it creates problems. Gotta wait and see, just like ever other Warriors “maybe” season.
