The warriors win percentage is .22 this year .

If that continues for the rest of the season Kerr will finish the year at .691 .

That drops him to 4th

I think I just vomited. Twice.

One is actually actively involved in the offense, the other avoids it.

Couldn't agree more. Has played a lot of minutes during the 15 game win streak but gets criticized for the possibility of contributing to a loss during the 15 game winning streak. There's speculation but then there's reality. You'd think reality would be more obvious when the facts are right in front of you.

Just goes to show that some people will criticize for the sake of criticizing.

McCaw moves the ball whenever he touches it. Gasol was essentially doing the same thing to start the season before he became aggressive and started looking for his shot more. We've seen when McCaw is aggressive, he can actually score. I'm not a McCaw fan and think he makes way too many mistakes but there are some positives to his game and role in our offense.

Gasol is an elite passer and defender, and will shoot when open.

McCaw is nowhere close to an elite passer or defender, and will actively pass up open shots.

There is a reason why Gasol is still a top tier bigman according to impact stats while McCaw is rated as one of the worst wing players in the league.

Pretty likely that Phil Jackson will reclaim #1 again when it's all said & done

18-10... 18 wins right about the over under

Let's count 10 losses...

1. Pacers, right after ASG, they will play their hearts out
2., 3. to the Bucks
4. one of the Nuggets games
5., 6. - two of Jazz, Sixers, Celtics, Lakers games
7. one of the Grizzlies games, maybe
8. one of Rockets or Heat
9., 10. - two more random losses, perhaps one of the Suns games, perhaps Nets tomorrow

That's being a tad generous in the loss column, I think, though.

So I put the over/under at 59.5 right now.

I know McCaw got a 3 pointer last night, but it sure didn't look like he did anything at all right in the first half. That said, there has to be a basketball reason for giving him this many minutes. I must just be too dense to see it.
