With the Warriors off to a 3-10 start, Golden State fans are beginning to get very restless and agitated and they are even beginning to let the players know about it.

"Everybody on this team has gotten booed this year in our home stadium," said Mike Dunleavy, Jr., who is shooting 36.9 percent in seven games at the Arena in Oakland and 48.6 percent in six road games. "I think that says a lot more about the fans than it does the players. The first game (a 78-75 loss to Portland), they were booing because we weren't making shots. Are you kidding me? I don't think that really affects anyone at all.

"They were trying to get on me the other night. Obviously it didn't affect me if you watched the game," Dunleavy said, referring to his game- tying 3-pointer with 13.8 seconds remaining in the first OT.

Coach Mike Montgomery said before Sunday's tip-off that Dunleavy's struggles had prompted him to consider using the small forward in a reserve role. Dunleavy wound up starting his 13th consecutive game, but Mickael Pietrus began the second half at small forward.

Pietrus began the season on the disabled list and his second season is being closely watched by the Golden State faithful.

The coach has been asked a whole host of questions by reporters regarding the former Duke star.

"That seems to be the focus with everybody," Montgomery said. "One thing you have to make clear is that our lack of success is not on Michael Dunleavy's shoulders. He's just one of the parts."
