I love the Warriors' backcourt. I really do.
It will be thrilling when Monta Ellis and Jamal Crawford finally play together -- what an offensive burden the Warriors will put on opposing defenses. And I can't wait to see Ellis and Marco Belinelli play together. Belinelli is the most creative, imaginative player on the Warriors and he and Ellis as a tandum will be something to watch. C.J. Watson as a 4th guard is steady and has turned into a deadly shooter.
I love the Warriors' backcourt.
I think they have enough small forwards -- Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette are perfect for those spots, Maggette in a limited role. At center the Warriors are adequate. They still need a monster at power forward to bring the whole thing together. I know that. You know that. Hopefully that comes. In the meantime their backcourt is really thrilling.
Cohn - where's the caveat?
I think everyone is scared of these guys when they're on offense - what about the other way around? Ellis, Crawford and CJ might represent the worst defensive backcourt ever. Who are these guys shutting down? Without Jack or Buke or Marco bothering some of the opposing backcourt, won't we get even worse defnsively, if that's possible? I mean, I feel like I'm the only Warriors fan who realizes that until we get to mediority with our defense we have no chance of regularly winning games. Am I crazy? Or is defense important to even the Warriors?
