Mark Jackson has a win-now mentality and would rather his team continue its aim toward the postseason than play young players to get them experience.

"I have no time for that," Jackson said. "Really, the front office's job is to look toward the future. Whether it's Larry (Riley), Bob (Myers), Joe (Lacob) or anybody else, their job is to look toward the future and prepare us to be effective down the road. My job is to handle the business today.

"I let my guys know that I have no time to think about a lottery pick or anything that doesn't pertain to right now. Our goal is to be a playoff basketball team, continue to get better and put ourselves in a position to be the team that we hope to be."

The Warriors have four rookies, all of whom have played sparingly this season.

"I've never bailed out in my life, and I'm not going to start now," Jackson said. "I believe that, as a team, if you begin to preach that message, then you will never get to where you want to. Go through the process. Take some bumps and some bruises. Ultimately, you'll get to the place you want to get to, and the bumps and the bruises will have prepared you for the moment."
