Monta isn’t soft, he’s just lazy. Got to be the laziest defender in the league.

“And how many points have they Curry allowed? I mean, look how Rodney Stuckey destroyed the Ws backcourt. And Jarrett Jack had a career offensive game last night. Also, Curry and Monta are so soft — both ALREADY have injuries that may nag them all year.”

I guess when a football player gets jacked, or when a baseball player runs into a wall, and they get injured, they too are “soft”…kind of ridiculous to call Monte soft. He took a spill, a very hard one, and may come back sooner than anyone would have thought. And how many points have been saved by both, and especially Monte by robbing the ballhandler blind with his DEFENSIVE hands. Defense is more than just guarding man to man. And I’ll take the offensive firepower any day of the week. As Wet says, they’re outscoring everyone they play anyhow.

Not many back courts can get you 50 a night almost ever night…even if curry n monta d is bad I still don’t think they have been outscored all season long by opposing starting backcourts..

“For those who still say that the Warrior’s backcourt is too small to be effective, I would challenge you to name ANY other backcourt in the league that could have a pair of 30 point games.”

And how many points have they Curry allowed? I mean, look how Rodney Stuckey destroyed the Ws backcourt. And Jarrett Jack had a career offensive game last night. Also, Curry and Monta are so soft — both ALREADY have injuries that may nag them all year.

briefly….Radmanovic is slow and a knucklehead…Brandan Wright will be gone either injured or traded before the end of the year….and his shot is too slow except for the Mr. Fantastic extendo hook….Lin helps but it also points out that Charlie Bell is nowhere….Gadzuric surprises me; he has good hustle but hands like Adonal Foyle…..Monta and Curry are wonderful and Carney is also a pleasant surprise….changes on the horizon when Admunsen returns and Udoh….

@justpuked (great name, by the way…). Point taken, and I think the only really legitimate pair there is Wall and Arenas. Lebron at the 2 is an occasional anomaly. He is a forward, not a guard. And who knows if and when Wall and Arenas can, or will co-exist enough to do this in the same game, though certainly the potential is there. I will agree that any of the pairs you mentioned have the potential, but very very rarely might you anticipate that it could, or will happen. I think the Ellis/Curry combo could roll it out 5-10 times a year…and they are both getting better every day.

I hope to have to get those really dark sunglasses myself soon…

@Dubsfan I love the Dubs backcourt, but there are others. The Wizards immediately come to mind. As John Wall acclimates to the league and Arenas comes back from his injuries that becomes one of the scariest back courts in the NBA.

Nash & Richardson can still light it up for Phoenix. The Rockets have Brooks & Martin. Detroit has a trio of guards in Stuckey, Hamilton & Gordan that can catch on fire. The Hawks have Joe Johnson & Crawford. The Spurs can roll out Parker & Gionobli. Speaking of fearsome duo’s what what happens if Miami plays Wade/LeBron at the 1/2 interchangeably against Boston/Atlanta/Orlando? I digress…

Statically, we’ve got the best backcourt duo and it’s fantastic, but the guards in Phoenix, Atlanta, San Antonio, and Miami all have track records of success in the playoffs, and at least half the duo does in Detroit & Houston. We don’t. The future looks bright, but we’re not there yet. But just in case I’ve already got a pair of sunglasses.

I definitely like what Smart is doing by increasing the bench rotation on the road. I was impressed by Lin’s defense and also his speed. With his size he should be driving to the basket more often and eventually his shot will come to him. Whats wrong with a Lin and Williams combo coming off the bench, they must play beside each other in practice. They both have explosive speed ,can play defense , and can get to the basket. Plus Reggie is better when he can play off the ball, and Lin has to keep improving his point guard skill set. As these two guys get better, it will keep our starters in better shape, and make the dubs a stronger squad on the road as well as at home. Im loving the fact that smart’s taking the time to develop the bench on the road

B Wright looked pretty good against the raptors (loved his block on johnson), I hope for the warriors sake he gets some more pt on the road, but I cant be mad if Dan Gadz plays in his place. B.Wright should be the choice to to backup lee so Vlad can get some time at small forward( I think he can score more points in that position and still be as effective on guarding perimeter players. Once Lou and Ekpe come back maybe…?

MTII: Nice entry but I don’t get your diss on Curry regarding how he sprained his ankle in the Clips game. The replay pretty clearly showed that his shoe caught the top of Griffin’s shoe and turned it over as it came down. I really don’t get your comment suggesting the cross-over was the cause.
