I linked a fun little clip of Harrison Barnes (aka The Black Falcon) hitting a game winning shot for Golden State last night.
Though TBF's numbers have been inconsistent this year for Golden State, it is fun to see him as an important part of a great team. Yes I am a bandwagonner I admit, but this GSW team is one that truly makes the NBA worth watching. And I love the way the guys get along with each other.
They are winning when they aren't even trying all out. Meaning they are resting their stars / starters big time and still finding a way to win against good opponents such as the Clippers and Suns. They actually play about 13 guys for now, which I know will slim down once they hit the playoffs. Even James Michael McAdoo has been getting decent minutes for them lately. He looks a little slow, and is sort of a tweener, not quick enough to stay with guards, not big enough to defend bigs, but I like his attitude and effort.
I do think GSW could split their roster fairly evenly into two teams, and both of those teams could compete for a playoff spot (8 seed in the West, 3-4 seed in the East).
I hope GSW can push through and get another title with Heels guys playing a big part.... especially if they meet LeBron, prima donna Love, Kyrie, the Cavs in the Finals, which looks very likely if things play out to form.
PS - on this clip I also love hearing Kevin Harlan's call. For my money, he is the best announcer in any sport and across all sports he does (he is great as an NFL announcer too) - of any I've heard in my lifetime.
