    Much has been made about Moochie's lack of true PG skills and that is why he can never start alongside Francis to move him to his natural 2 Guard position. I have personally always thought Moochie is a better PG than Francis in sense of Assists:TO ratio, which was an astounding 9:0 last night. When given a chance to direct the offense for a long enough time, Moochie shows why he is the best ball distributor on this team. He is a smart guy with the ball with a low TO average. I think this makes the issue of whether or not to start him with Francis in the backcourt relevant again. Let me know what you guys think

    Don't judge a PG by how he plays against JWill and the Memphis defense.

    In the Warriors' two wins over the Grizzlies this year, Gilbert Arenas averaged 12 assists and 2 turnovers. In the rest of the games, he's averaging 6 assists and 3.3 turnovers.

    I agree with you in the sense that Memphis is not a good measure, but Moochie never really got to play big minutes this year at all. And now that he had a chance to do that, he seems to have taken advantage of the opportunity. I really think that he should try to concentrate more on the ball movement part of his game so as soon as Rudy needs him he can deliver on the court.

    Moochie's too small for me to like his game. I like the fact that he's been keeping the offense running fairly smoothly, and the fact that he knows his role, and distributing the ball. I also like his mid range jumper that he's been nailing down consistently. I just don't like the fact that he's a small player. All season long have I seen him box out his opponents but still not able to grab the rebound because he's too small. He's also not that good of a defender.
