After getting beat up in the driveway of his own home by a crazed Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala has come to realize that, at this point in his career, he might be best as a sixth man kinda guy. I think this role can work out for him as long as his jumpshot switch remains…

Marreese Speights 24 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2014)
Cooking for guests was always harder than he anticipated. When it was just himself, he could enjoy the subtlety and beauty of the culinary arts; invitees cared nothing for these things. They wanted their meal, and they wanted it fast. Still, he always appreciated the chance to share with others the solace he found in…
Read MoreAndrew Bogut 15 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (11/16/2014)
Is there a more well-fitting center in the league for the Warriors than Andrew Bogut? He doesn’t take the ball away from the scorers that need it, he passes skillfully and willingly, he defends at an elite level, and he sucks up rebounds like a big pube-covered Aussie vacuum. Put someone like Dwight on this…

Harrison Barnes waited, hidden, in the rhododendron bushes outside the Iguodala household. Andre always went out to get the newspaper at 7:13 Pacific Standard Time. Barnes’ persistent reconnaissance had told him this much. All there was to do now was wait. Just as expected, at 7:13, Andre Iguodala opened his front door, whistling. He sauntered…

I used to rag on Draymond Green for being really, really bad at basketball. The shooting part at least. “Mr. 32%”. His only utility as a rookie was as a “put him in and let him create chaos” kind of guy. He’s still that kind of guy, which is great. As an added bonus, it…

“Who’s gonna be that third scorer?” The Warrior’s announcer dude poses a salient question. After Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, is there anyone who the Warriors can count on for reliable pointage? There are a few possibilities. David Lee – Averaged 20 points a couple years ago. Is there any reason why he couldn’t do…
Read MoreAndrew Bogut All 91 Dunks Full Highlights (2013-14 Season Dunkilation)
Andrew Bogut’s impact on the game is so important that I could never do it justice. Instead, I’m going to hand it over to Bucks commentators Jim Paschke and Jon McGlocklin, who watched “The Thunder from Down Under” develop from a young first-overall pick who, laughably, sometimes played at power forward with Dan Gadzuric at…

“Quit making so much noise! You’re going to wake them up!” Stephen chastised his teammate, Klay. “Remember the plan. Get in and get out.” “Yeah, yeah, I remember the plan,” retorted Klay testily, his words somewhat dampened by the black ski mask covering his head. “You only went over it like a million times before…

There are a lot of people out there (including me) who think Mark Jackson is a bad coach. He might still be. But we have to give credit where credit is due: his insertion of Draymond Green, AKA “Mr. 33% From the Field”, into the starting lineup was a good decision. The Blake Griffin-Draymond Green…

Harrison “Born In A” Barnes: is he the X-factor for the Warriors in the playoffs? As their sixth man, he definitely meets the qualifications for being an X-factor candidate. I’ll just say, if he can up his scoring output, he will be the X-factor, but if he doesn’t score very well, he’ll just be a…
