It's time for the 3rd part of our interview with Matt Steinmetz. By day he's writing for for AOL FanHouse and by night he's on CSN Bay Area sharing the insights of a former college baller on Golden State Warriors broadcasts.

Part 1: Making Sense of Stephen Jackson

Part 2: Warriors defensive woes, Stephen Curry's jumpshot, and managing playing time

Good things come to those who wait. In the final part of this Q&A Matt lets fans know what are some of the intricate details of the hoops game to pay attention to while watching Warriors games at home on TV and where some great playground spots are in the Bay Area to hoop it up.

In the first part of our Q&A with Matt we tried to make sense of Stephen Jackson's trade demands. That was quite an interesting exercise.

In this segment we talk about the Warriors defense (or lack thereof), rookie Stephen Curry's shooting woes early on in the Las Vegas Summer Leagues and the preseason, and how to balance the minutes on a talented, but imbalanced roster.

Before we get to this last installment let's rewind the tape a bit:

There's a great supplement to this Q&A that Tim posted earlier today on his blog: The Monta Ellis Situation: It’s not about Curry, it’s about the Warriors’ non-trade on draft night

Note:

• "Captains" Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis didn't seem to mind young Warriors bigs Andris Biedrins and Brandan Wright (and for that matter guard Marco Belinelli) being shipped out for Amare Stoudemire.
• Amare didn't seem overjoyed on the thought of playing with "Captains" Jack and Monta- neither of these guys look to be great recruiters.
