The Golden State Warriors looked ready to make the next step after being the summer's big spenders, but the injury to guard Monta Ellis really puts that in doubt. Again, scoring points will not be an issue with swingmen Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson, but they are entrusting their offense now to young point guard Marcus Williams, someone the New Jersey Nets drafted to replace Jason Kidd but they felt ended up not being the answer. Can he handle it? If not, can Jackson handle running the show? Will Al Harrington be part of the team despite asking for a trade? With all those issues, getting again to 48 wins would be amazing.
