		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Zack &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;- Two things about your random thoughts mainly about Curry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think he is in the wrong situation/not being utilized correctly right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Monta on the floor and the type of open one-on-one offense the Warriors run Curry is relegated to being just a spot up jump shooter.  He SHOULD make a high percentage of his shots in that role but right now he is a bit streaky for whatever reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In college he thrived having the ball in his hands both scoring and making plays for teammates.  I think his ceiling can&#039;t be confirmed until we see him a lot more in that role.  Can he be a scoring point guard?  Or is and undersized spot up shooter a la Eddie House?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think his ball-handling, vision and passing ability far exceeds that of Eddie House so I wouldn&#039;t lump him in with those types of guys.  But until he gets in a pro style offense where he can run pick and rolls and dictate the action it will be hard to judge him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of that Anthony Morrow should be a Sixers and he is flat out wasting away on that team.  Please understand this kid is 24 years old and might just be the best shooter in the NBA.  He isn&#039;t streaky, he is dead eye from all over the floor.  He was the NBA top three point shooters last year and is in the top 10 this year and I think he will level out around the top 5 or 3 once the early season variance clears out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But forget that, he is a 48%+ shooter overall from the field.  His shot selection is is very good for a young player and when he gets attempts and plays run for him well he does &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.cgi?id=3b5dY&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;THIS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Undrafted diamond in the rough that isn&#039;t being shined at all right now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Suede, I&#039;m gonna keep bothering you about this :)
 
2008 Kyle Weaver, 2009 Marcus Thornton, 2010 __________
 
&lt;strong&gt;Random thoughts on the game:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;Tim Roye, the Warriors&#039; radio guy, said at the beginning of the game that in his 15 years of doing Warriors play-by-play, that was the smallest crowd he&#039;d ever seen at a Sixers game.&lt;/li&gt;


	&lt;li&gt;Roye also mentioned how tired the Warriors seemed, that it was most likely because the game was the last on a road trip for them, and that their sloppy play was uncharacteristic of them.&lt;/li&gt;


	&lt;li&gt;Iverson is playing like a prototypical &quot;savvy vet&quot;.  It looks like there&#039;s some sort of respect there from Iguodala, because it looks like Iguodala has stopped trying to put the team on his back every game, and he seems somewhat relieved that in Iverson there&#039;s someone who can help him in trying to win games and understands the game as well as he does.  Although he&#039;s still learning to recognize and accept his skill limitations, one thing I&#039;ll never question about Andre is that he really cares about winning.&lt;/li&gt;


	&lt;li&gt;Hard for me to say - Jason Smith has become a garbage-time player, like &quot;Thunder&quot; Bob Thornton.  Maybe we can still get a first-round pick from a contender for him; Portland would be ideal but they&#039;re all about &quot;assets&quot;, and Smith really isn&#039;t one right now, but it doesn&#039;t hurt to try, Mr. Stefanski!&lt;/li&gt;


	&lt;li&gt;Their color guy was really impressed with Thaddeus, and that Thad was what Anthony Randolph needed to be, that Randolph needed to do all the things that Thad was doing in that game.  But I think they&#039;re so different, and that Randolph should aim to be an athletic, freak-of-nature awesome defensive player like Dwight Howard or Kirilenko. &lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt; Thad has this incredible touch and deceivingly quick release on his shots, talents that I just don&#039;t see Randolph eventually learning.  Offensively, I think the next step for Randolph would be to try to get better at attacking the basket, a la LeBron.  I don&#039;t even know what to call that shot where he drove on Sam, put the ball up with his right (maybe left) hand, and flipped it over Sam&#039;s one-handed attempt to block it; I mean, if Sam physically couldn&#039;t block that, who in the NBA can?&lt;/li&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;
I thought Stephen Curry would have a greater impact than he&#039;s shown so far this season.  At the very least, I thought he&#039;d be an Eddie House-type of instant-offense shooter.  I don&#039;t know how much upside he has.  The Warriors TV guys mentioned Steve Nash, but I think that would be in shooting ability only.  I&#039;m starting to feel glad the Sixers didn&#039;t take him.&lt;/li&gt;


	&lt;li&gt;Is Jrue Holiday unselfish to a fault?  I remember a WIP guy saying one day that Lou Williams has too much &quot;high school&quot; in his game - does Holiday have too much &quot;college&quot; in his game?  I think he&#039;s good at seeing scoring opportunities for his teammates, and he&#039;s really good at getting to where he needs to go in order to make a good pass to a teammate; Iguodala could learn a lot from him.  He&#039;s said before that he thinks he can be like Deron Williams but I think his upside is more Jason Kidd.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Why.  Is.  Elton.  Brand.  Still.  Not.  Starting every game&lt;/strong&gt;.  I don&#039;t care about matchup strength with one game out of an 82 game schedule with a crappy, undisciplined run n gun team like the Warriors.  I am in just utter disbelief that EJ is taking this conservative hard line stance with Brand and making him earn every minute of playing time.  It&#039;s like Brand is being punished for working hard.  It&#039;s absolutely bizarre.  Maybe EJ has been hanging out with Donnie Nelson and has adopted his completely wacky method of dealing with player&#039;s psyche&#039;s and doling out minutes?  I&#039;m not able to let this go.</description>

		<description>If Thad can keep up his play of the last couple of weeks maybe he and Sam CAN man the paint allowing Elton to pair with Marreese off the bench. Dannie, on a night when Morrow, Ellis and Curry were on the court, it looked like we had the best young guard out there, impressive!!!</description>

		<description>Great to see iverson hitting jumpshots and not committing turnovers.  Thad pulling boards and playing with fire, same with sammy. great game and finally a win.  if we could beat either the cavs or the celts that could really give us a confidence boost.</description>

		<description>Really enjoyed seeing Jrue match up against Ellis.  Agree, minutes for him are key.  Tom Moore reports Jrue might also start next game.
 
Don&#039;t understand benching Brand at this point- but at least they are not starting Green.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Real solid game for Jrue.  Hopefully he can get some more minutes going forward.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
