    Anthony Davis should be able to dominate the Warriors down low.

    It's early. Curry is 1 of 5 from three. Does that mean he's not a good three point shooter?

    I think trading Holiday+Anderson for Joe Johnson would be a good start. Re-signing Asik and getting Rondo would be ideal. They could do some real damage.

    Rondo / Cole
    Evans / Gordon
    Johnson / Pondexter
    Davis / Cunningham
    Asik / Ajinca

    Davis is forcing it. It's his first meaningful game since college though.

    Um the last game of the year vs Spurs was the biggest game of the year. More meaningful than this one since this isn't an elimination game.

    That would be one of the worst starting 5's for floor spacing ever. :P

    Also, AD's last game vs Thunder where hit the game winning three was extremely meaningful.

    Meaningful to me only means playoffs. Of course there are big regular season games but the atmosphere and the pressure is ten fold in the playoffs.

    If they didn't beat Spurs, they wouldn't be in playoffs. Elimination game. This one isn't.

    Looks like the Asik that tried to Guard Aldridge last year.
    Starting to think Asik is pretty overrated.

    Yeah but you still gotta space the floor. Or you'll get what they're doing to Davis right now. Leave Asik, Bogut behind, Green Front.

    Granted I believe Davis should always be put in a P&R situation or get the ball at the elbows, triple threat and go from there. But still.

    Asik held Aldridge to 8 in Game 3.
