Is Andres Biedrins better than Greg Steimsma? :-)

GSW has to look at what teams can be dangerous competition in 2014 when our youth is ripe and the usual contenders are old or already in rebuild

lol 2014? I guess that's one way to explain a bad season.

Try it. You think the Wolves are gonna be winning much before that?

Damn near everyone on GSW's roster is 25 or younger and has a proven ability to get a 20 pt game.

...And yes....Biedrins plays very good D,though not if disabled with a hernia. he's even quick on his feet.
Bad season? With 5 healthy players....3 of them rookies.....we recently beat Portland in Portland. A week earlier,beat OKC with just 7 available players. The team built character in adversity. We played some teams who seemed ready to quit and go home or who could not bother with D. Our half-team didn't quit...are excited for getting the other half back next year. I'm looking at contender in 2014.
That's rare stuff for GSW. Few of you would remember the last time.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Next time he's healthy. C'mon...we PLAYED the Wolves...Al Jeff can't defense,or won't. Much prefer
Biedrins for D,and it ain't close.

If I honestly thought I'd have to spend 4 more years for this team to win a decent amount of games I'd just leave.

Damn near everyone on GSW's roster is 25 or younger and has a proven ability to get a 20 pt game.

Well, Minnesota's average age is around 25 so that's kind of moot. And EVERYONE can get 20pts a game? Even defensive guys like Biedrins and Turiaf? I doubt you'll have to wait for 2014 then.

Even if you want to call it a moral victory this season has sucked for you guys, don't try and sugar coat it. And you beat an injury depleted Portland team and an Oklahoma team by 3 that'd played 2 back to backs in the week before, one of them THAT Utah game. While they're nice wins I wouldn't exactly look at them as saving this season.

And sadly, the proven ability to give up 30.
