<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span id="default"><span id="CCT_Article"> NEW YORK -- Warriors point guard Baron Davis is putting his back into his work. Or, we should say, his backside.</p> After a noticeable absence of Davis posting up opposing guards through the Warriors' first six games -- all losses -- the veteran is once again putting his powerful frame to use and causing plenty of problems for opposing defenses by doing it.</p> Last week, Davis and other Warrior guards regularly posted up Los Angeles Clippers guard Sam Cassell. And Sunday, Davis was backing down not only diminutive Toronto guard T.J. Ford, but the more sizable Anthony Parker and even on a few occasions Maceo Baston, the Raptors' starting center.</p> Warriors coach Don Nelson would have liked to have used Davis in such a manner earlier, but without another ballhandler in the lineup, it was tough.</p> "Somebody's got to deliver the ball to Baron," Nelson said. "He can't pass the ball to himself."</p> Against the Clippers, Matt Barnes started for only the second time and finished with eight assists as a point forward. Stephen Jackson made his return in Toronto after a seven-game suspension and notched five assists by halftime.</p> Jackson expects the Davis post-up to remain a staple of the Warriors' attack.</p> "It's big not only because he's our best scorer, he's our best passer," Jackson said of Davis. "So when he can get on that block and get double-teams, everybody gets easy shots. Then, when it gets to the point when we're knocking down shots and they don't want to help, <span id="default"><span id="CCT_Article"> he's two dribbles from the basket, really hard to stop. It definitely opens up our game."</div></span></span></p> <span id="default"><span id="CCT_Article">Source: Contra Costa Times</span></span></p> </span></span></p>
