SALT LAKE CITY -- Warriors back-up point guard Jarrett Jack, a
playoff-tested veteran, said Tuesday it's time he has a talk
with the team's young star, Stephen Curry.  The topic: "The
importance of these 30 games," Jack said, "and how the way he
conducts himself is going to be very influential on how
everybody else goes."  The Warriors are late in the third
quarter of the season. And in their position, they desperately
need to finish strong. Mired in a five-game losing streak,
facing six of their next eight on the road, the Warriors must
push themselves to another level.  Looking at their roster, the
best candidate to be the catalyst of that push is Curry.  It's
certainly not on him alone. The Warriors need David Lee to get
back to the All-Star level he was playing. They need center
Andrew Bogut to at least approach the expectations he created.
And Curry alone can't solve the Warriors' defensive issues.
During the five-game losing streak, the Warriors' defensive
rating was 117.1. Before that, it was 101.9.
