#1, aka Stan. Monta NEVER had this type of roster to play with, except during the BD era. The rosters Monta lead were inadequate. Clueless Larry Riley was the GM during the Monta era. Riley never had the ability to assemble a roster capable of winning 40 games even it they had Kobe in his prime.

I believe the long awaited, “annointed” one has finally arrived… and it will only get special…

Harrison Barnes is displaying competitiveness, athleticsm and confidence… He is going to be special and i have a feeling he is the mold of the new Kevin Durant of the future.. Ezeli is equally promising as well, and Draymond Green is also special and will increase his playing time soon…

and what if Jeremy Tyler lives up to his promise?

The team is set and deep for years.. The only conditions so far, Bogut and Rush… If Bogut becomes a factor, this team is going to be very promising.. I mean lets compare this team to a legendary team, Da Bulls.

Harper – Curry, Jack, and Jenkins
Jordan – Thompson, Barnes, Rush
Pippen – Barnes, Green, RJ
Rodman – Lee, Landry,
Longley- Bogut, Ezeli

This line up tells that the legends have more experience, defensive skills and intelligence but our the Warriors have more size, athleticsm, and post offense and defense.

The last remaining move, is when we finally gain space from the expiring Biedrins contract… This will be very intriguing.

So There you go, the standard is set.

Talent alone, we have something special.. Develop the team trust and chemistry.. and this team is going to gain attention and respect.. Perhaps a championship. I just sense it.

Barnes is a reala talent, needs the ball as you said. Ws are good and deep, a bit better than I would have thought. If we had Rush we could have had Barnes at the 2 and Klay off the bench!

Too early to say “I told you so” but Barnes has been exhibiting the game that was being reigned back @ North Carolina. Tar Heel players, despite talent level are sequestered to the “pecking order” of upper classmen & point guards first. Barnes game was harnessed @ Carolina until desperation required his further involvement. Which is a good thing as a pro because he still acquesceses to being the third or fourth option. His continued development & experience will merit an increase in touches & offensive responsibility. If Curry remains healthy & Thompson get over his jitters they should be a 45 to 47 win team. Not guaranteed of anything further this year but it should be a good stepping stone. . .

So right about Barnes. That guy is a ridiculous talent. Didn’t see him much in college and when I did was not impressed, but it’s obvious now he has star potential. Super-quick first step, crazy leaping and sick finishing, not to mention a solid jumper.

And as I keep telling anyone who will listen, contrary to popular belief, Klay is a great penetrator and only a very good shooter. Problem is he seems to think he is a great shooter and just a good penetrator. Sadly, it’s pretty easy to call when he’s going to make or miss his j’s. If he’s coming off a screen or spotting up with his feet set and a good shooting window, he makes it about 80% of the time. If he’s shooting off the dribble or with tight D, it’s about 10%.

agree about barnes. when he gets the ball, i almost expect a good look at the basket. it should be noted that a handful of times, he blew past notable defenders like kirilenko and iguodala off the dribble on an iso with ease.

it’s been good seeing thompson getting (and making) shots inside the arc. he’s still taking three’s off the dribble though

Good call on proactively getting Barnes more involved.

Hey MT, just wanted to say I’m loving these post-game posts. You’ve really taken this blog to a whole new level this season. It’s really great for people like me who can’t watch most of the games.
