There is a lot of excitement in the Bay Area regarding the Golden State Warriors, who are atop the Western Conference alongside the San Antonio Spurs — their opponent tonight in a nationally televised game.
(The Warriors are 5-point underdogs, which seems a bit much for me. I also like the over 204 — not that I am wagering or anything.)
The missing link for this team has been Andre Iguodala, whose offense has been spectacular for a team averaging more than 110 points per game. Every member of the ‘Dubs starting five is shooting over 50 percent from the field, and Klay Thompson has been unreal from 3-point range.
Harrison Barnes has only played one game, coming off an injury and having been supplanted as a starter by Iguodala.
Is “Iggy” the type of missing link that could lead the Warriors our of the Western Conference and into the NBA Finals?
My answer is revealed in this interview with Guy Haberman on 95.7 The Game in the Bay Area.
