G2: GS Dubs @ Flop City

Barnes in the starting lineup wouldn't help a bit. He's not going to be a secondary ball handler that we need to alleviate some of the pressure on Curry. The one time Barnes did try to try he got ripped dribbling into traffic. He played well the first game and yes, I suppose you can argue he had a better game than Iggy in game 2 (if you just go by the box score) but let's be real--when you get blown out by 40, no one had a good game.

I have to agree about Iguodala. His addition has made the team a great defensive one for the first time ever, but he needs to step up and score some as well.

If Iggy could score he would have been done it. Foul trouble or no Iggy's impact in this playoffs will be minimal, which is ironic because the playoffs were his defenders biggest excuse for his mediocre play. His perimeter defensive prowess is a myth, the Warriors would have been better defensively no matter what, they added Bogut and had no where else to go but up. You never trade offense for defense in basketball, good defense is simply an additional component to what you are able to do offensively unless you're a big man specialist.

Defense is the first ingredient to being a contender. Most championship teams were great ones and many alltime greats have confirmed that.

Iguodala is much better than he's been this series.
