The Warriors' sixth road loss in a row (do people realize they haven't beaten a top-28 team on the road since November?) was never really as close as the score would suggest; when Sasha Vujacic and Adam Morrison are on the floor together in the second quarter, you know your opponent isn't taking you very seriously. The Lakers pulled away with ease every time things got interesting. Still, not the worst effort we've seen of late. CJ perked up for the first time in a while, and Morrow continued his strong and surprisingly aggressive play -- in the four games since he returned, he's averaging 21.8 points on .570 shooting, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He's making a dump of Maggette's contract look like even more of a no-brainer than it already was... this guy should be getting consistent starter minutes to round out the year.
Curry was just flat-out bad here, getting eaten alive in the halfcourt and reverting to his silly slappin' ways on D. It's just one game, but then, so was his last one. The jury's still out on his ability to beat a defense that's paying attention to him.
Mercifully, this road trip is complete... the Dubs are already en route to Oakland, and tomorrow they kick off a six-game homestand that features three beatable opponents. Next month won't be kind -- incredibly, fifteen of their sixteen March opponents are .500 or better -- so if the Warriors want to give their fans something to smile about, now's the time.
