    Patrick Beverley & Montrez Harrell are the only guys that'll compete regardless of what the score is. These are the guys that look for confrontation instead of being the victim of it. When I see us down 20, w/our superstars giving half azz efforts, you'd think someone besides Bev would be out there tryna mix it up. The missing element of this team is grittiness. We need 3 or 4 agitators on this team just like Bev. It's disappointing seeing us just lay down

    /thread.

    JVG hit on it in the broadcast - most of our players are one, one-and-a-half dimensional players.

    Harden, Terry = no defense.
    Howard, Brewer, Capela = no offense.

    Two way players get paid now though. 3&D player coming off an Achilles injury gets close to max money last summer - Wesley Matthews. Good two way players get paid more than guys who can create their own shot. Matthews gets $15M while Monta Ellis only got $11M and L Williams only got $7M.

    That's true. Which is why GSW should consider themselves very lucky.

    Thompson, Green, Livingston can all defend multiple positions and can all facilitate on offense.

    No, we need:

    * A couple more lockdown defenders (at the PF/C position and/or PG position)
    * Another playmaker (PG, SF, or PF) next to Harden
    * A money 3 point shooter

    We need some guys with brains , athletic ability , and skills . But for right now I'll settle for guys with some mental toughness who can be told to do something and focus .

    Bev definitely upset GS fans with his aggressive play this game. There's so much Rockets and Rocket fan bashing on the message boards that I'm just staying away at this point. We say physical...they say dirty. Curry says physical with MO...they say dirty. It's just not even worth trying to talk about it. The trolls are out in full force. Because of that, I say Bev did his job quite well because of the number of their fans he pissed off. So, yes, we need more bullies on this team.
