After seeing Nash come back with 12 points and 9 assists I think we are a solid playoff team. Are we a title contender? We'll see in the next few weeks.

With the team looking this good with The Maestro back, with such little practice, the L.A. Lakers are title contenders.

I love the fact we now have two players that can hit clutch baskets.

Wow. Probably the best and exciting Warriors/Lakers game I've ever been to! And most of their games at Oracle have always been entertaining. We were left for dead and I cannot believe we won! Let's see if we can keep this up.

been m.i.a. for the last 3 days. did not get to watch the lakers vs warriors. saw the 13 minute highlights on youtube. nash looked good. the offense looked better. the defense still needs work. the thing that had me
is the number of minutes nash logged coming back from his injury at that age. pringles should of eased him in but nash looked good.

That **** is scary right there, back surgeries are not a one and done thing. People wanna say what they want about Dwight, but forget that this dude just came back from BACK SURGERY.
You know the average Joe would be on disability and miking it for as long as possible
And this dude is back after 1 season. :x

I mean, dude wasn't even pinned to start playing until right about now.
anyone who expected him to be at 100 percent is a moron
I like the direction we are going, it's looking good

As someone who has similar back problems, I find it amazing that he can play at all this soon after surgery. Very impressive!

I was making a master list of PG & SF that are remotely available. Now I don't know what the hell we need with Kobe at the 3.
The best PGs that are available would be at the expense of Pau. And now it looks like we need a combo guard. Delonte West would be the only quality guard that is available without losing Pau.
But here's the list anyway
Point Guards
Similar for Small Forwards. A lot of guys would be cost Pau.
Small Forwards
Not to say we can't get a quality PF with a quality 1 or 3. But like Kobe and Mitch said, doing too much at once may cause issues. Definitely more so for starters than backups.. But I'd like to do what we can for PG. And go after a Small Forward like Dorell Wright in Free Agency.
The best PGs that are available would be at the expense of Pau. And now it looks like we need a combo guard. Delonte West would be the only quality guard that is available without losing Pau.
But here's the list anyway
Point Guards
Mo Williams – UTA - +Good shooter, good passer -Slow
Delonte West – FA - + Pesky Def, Decent on open 3s, Decent Distributor - Personality Problems, Injury
Jose Calderon – TOR - +Great passer, Solid 3pt -Injuries have made him one of the worst defenders at PG
Ben Gordon – CHA - + Combo Guard, Great Shooter - A lot of turnovers, doesn’t pass, matchup problem against most guards
Devin Harris – ATL - + gets to the bucket - bad defender/injury prone
Aaron Brooks – SAC - +Good backup, good enough in most offensive categories -Not consistent, Too small and still gets outrun by the better PGs
Luke Ridnour – MIN - +P&R wizard, decent court vision - Lack of athleticism makes him weak Def.
D.J. Augustin – IND - + Can drive and kick – Too small def., mediocre 3, been atrocious this year
Beno Udrih – MIL - + Good finisher - Can’t guard quick guards
Nate Robinson – CHI + Scorer, Can take over games, Pesky Def - Small, Bad Shot Selection, Gamble Defender too often
Kirk Heinrich – CHI - + Good distributor - Can’t guard quick Guard, Shooting is weak
Jose Juan Barea – MIN – + Decent P&R - Bad defender, flopper, mediocre shooter
Shaun Livingston – WAS- +Good court vision, solid defender - Bad shooter, injury prone
Jeremy Pargo – CLE - + Can Score - Needs minutes to play well, not a distributor, bad defensively
C.J. Watson – BK - + 3 point shooter - Can’t score anywhere else, Bad half-court def, doesn’t pass
Kendall Marshall – PHX - +Can run floor as he’s a great passer - Can’t defend, can’t shoot, can’t score
Donald Sloan – CLE - + Distributor -Can’t guard quick guards, can’t make anything past 20 feet
Sebastain Telfair – PHX - -His documentary was the best that it gets for him
Marcus Teague – CHI - + Fast Can get to the bucket - His game is very untested for NBA rank. Should have stayed at UK

I watch what Matt Barnes is doing for the Clippers and just shake my head. I understand why he wasn't brought back after two poor playoff performances (in large part to injuries), but he played hard and was productive. What makes it worse is that he wanted to return.
