Pretty cool to see them make history. We're hounding Indy but only up 12, should be 20+ but we keep hoisting crappy 3 pt shots. Theres still 3 minutes left in this quarter too so we could obliterate this if we keep it up. Baron has 6 steals. Wonder what most steals in a quarter and game are for an individual player?
The Warriors bolt must be Dunphleavey's kryptonite. Kareem Rush and Andre Owens starting backcourt? LOL wow, I can't think of a worse starting duo in the league.
Okay, positive note: They did play on the 2nd of a back to back game. They played two great quarters and just got gassed. The officiating was very inconsistent with guys like Biedrins never getting the benefit of the doubt. The free throw shooting was generally good, but some guys were missing both free throws. Barnes blew up and hit the wrong guy (he hit Dunleavy in retaliation for Granger messing him up on a screen). Baron looked like he was about to collapse... Maybe this evens it out because the Pacers should have beaten us at home with the way the Warriors were playing. The warriors are (in my mind) a better team of course but the Pacers are good as well.

When the T-Wolves came back, the Warriors were able to turn it on with an easy bucket or what looked like an easy bucket with Baron or someone driving the lane. That's what kills me about the Warriors. Against some teams, they just can't get their jets going when they need it in the 4Q. It can be a big 3 or a steal and a break away or a couple of nice shots put together. Baron's our go to guy, but we need someone inside, too. Roll the dice for Pau Gasol? It'll mean we'll have to give up AB and someone else!

The coach probably has to ride him to play defense at center though because that is where Don Nelson will most likely insert him (the crazy old bastard). Pau is kind of soft, but I like his skill and the fact he's one of the tallest power forwards in the league with a very refined offensive game and an almost unblockable shot. If he had better defense, he'd be like having young Rasheed Wallace type mismatch. A player that could virtually do almost anything that we need him to do. I think we need to stick with Biedrins and just develop him. He's a quick learner and he's naturally gifted. But I don't think the franchise has been developing him right at all. He's a guy that is used more like Jeff Foster rather than a Jermaine O'neal. The guy can improve. I believe it. I feel he can improve to the point where you don't recognize his game anymore because he's grown so much. He just needs a chance to be involved more. Then again my patience for Biedrins' growth has me wondering what if we had Pau or a motivated Emeka Okafor instead.
