    On some other blog saw people clamoring to play CJ instead of Curry because CJ is shooting better. Well that's not everything. We've all seen CJ play for a couple of years now and he's topped out, he's a decent pull-up jump shooter, but he doesn't make the others around him better and he's not a dynamic scorer. He's okay.

    But you do not sit a potential star for some limited retread. That's franchise killing/stunting....wait that's what the Warriors have done already with Randolph.

    Curry has an assist/TO ratio of 2:1; CJ is barely 1:1. 2:1 is pretty good for a rookie; above average for even a veteran. He's started making more shots. Is he flawless? Absolutely not. He made some horrible passes in the Houston and Magic losses. But I'm sure he'll learn not to do those things again, he's a bright kid with a great attitude.

    Curry showed you what he is capable of in the 4th quarter against the Mavs on the road. The Warriors better not screw this up just to see CJ Watson hoist more 15-18 footers; especially when they stop falling.

    CJ is our 3rd guard and the only reason he's starting is because Morrow has been out. I don't see him cutting into Curry's minutes at all either way.

    CJ will see decent minutes until the trade deadline. The team isn't going anywhere, and you have to showcase what CJ can do.

    Curry hit for 22 tonight on 9 for 14. Did not see the game but pretty sweet anyways. Nice to see some aggressive shooting by him. Shot chart showed good range on shots too. 2 Assists/5 TOs was not the best.

    He was the only player that looked decent last night. Monta needs to take a half step back and recognize when others are hot. Curry could've kept them in the game last night. He finished near the hoop a few times (couple of and 1s) and a couple more that went uncalled. The game is really slowing down for him. Now he just needs to slow down on the reach-is. He's a rookie, they'll call that every time. Got in foul trouble again.

    Yup, Monta is on a mission, but he also needs to slow down. He's often taking the ball into double and triple coverage in the lane. That's just stupid. His turnovers are off the chart.
