His impact was undeniable... The Warriors averaged 105 points when he arrived, up 10 before B.D. Warriors went 14-5 with Davis in the starting lineup... The tandem of Davis and J.R. Richardson gives Golden State one of the premium backcourt duos in the Western Conference... Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy make you think you are watching some of the old Notre Dame teams. X&O WEAKNESS There is not a lot of depth on the Warriors front line. Andris Biedrins and Ike Diogu need to provide some... This is a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 1994. With a healthy Baron Davis on board for the entire season, that may change. HEAD COACH PHILOSOPHY The Warriors finished the season strong and Mike Montgomery seems to have made the adjustment, which I think is a key. I think Terry Stotts and the other assistants may have influenced him into more pro sets. He is an excellent teacher and the addition of John MacLeod as an assistant was a good hire. If the players listen and buy in to what they are trying to do they?ll be a team that you can?t overlook. -- Don Casey (courtesy of the National Basketball Coaches Association) </div>
