I don't know if that's ever going to happen.

Funny that Casey says the team needs an identity, I think it already has one. A team that will always change to fit the opponent. It's Casey's identity.

Or maybe our best linups are of the small type (Amir/2pat + 2 PGs)

That's true. But sometimes you need to assert a size advantage, especially if the other lineups aren't working.

Casey isn't a good coach.

Anyways this is the most excited i have been for a game all year.

Should be all offense and 0 defense tonight.

And One! Wish it was on TV here (Ohio). Both are missing a starter but winning anyhow. Two things I never expected...GSW on top in the West and Raps on top in the East.

I don't think I'm going to enjoy a Raptor loss (well, I never do...) and a Hawks win tonight and reading the unbearable aftermath. The last thing is wanting to see how arrogant these guys can become.

Which guys?

I think that's the case right now, mainly because Casey never likes going to JV in the end or rely on him too much. He's looking to win now obviously and bring JV along slowly, we need to involve JV as much as possible for him to grow into the player we need him to, we'll need him when we start making championship runs and our small ball won't work unless we have guards that are superstars. Once the games slow down, we've seen first hand how physical it can get especially inside. We were getting owned by Blatche last year, yeah, Joe J was posting up our guards as well but that's because of our small back court at the time. I'm not saying he should go to JV at all times, but what I'm saying is that we need JV to develop as quickly as possible for us to go far.. you need an inside presence to win a championship, the warriors aren't winning a ship without Bogut (or go deep in playoffs that is)

Will be good game can go either way nice getting Fields back but if we have a advantage it is Jonas.
Will be a very close game the teams are basically evenly matched.

Agreed. Even Curry has elevated his play defensively this season. Warriors are no joke, they're a legit 25-5.

My brother thinks Tyler Hansbrough looks like Jim Carrey in the first Dumb and Dumber, anyone agree?

Yeah, i know they're playing good D this year, just both the teams from the top of my head always seem to play in higher scoring games.

Maybe so, but in this case you need to go big to have a shot at winning, because the Warriors' small lineups have the league's best point differential.

That's mostly to do with pace, though. Opponent FG% is a much more effective way to measure a defense, because the speed the game's played at has a minimal effect on it.

You can really see where Casey is influenced offensively when watching Dallas. Carlisle always puts his guys in the perfect spots to score. Same here.
