OPEN THREAD: Game 64 - Warriors @ Suns

Gw090_tiny by Fantasy Junkie on in Previews Comment 450 comments



Warriors (W-L): 40-23

Suns (W-L): 42-22

Time: 7:30pm PST

TV:TNT

Radio: KNBR 680

Coming off a solid win against the Chris Bosh-less Raptors, the Warriors hit their 40th win of the season with 19 games remaining. Let's take a quick playoff race check. Doing the math, if the Warriors can just go 1 game over .500 for the rest of the season (10-9), they'll have 50 wins. Pretty crazy right? 50 wins should get the Warriors in the playoffs - as the 8th seed. Denver, at 38-26 has played 64 games and in order to get to 50 wins needs to go 12-6 the rest of the way. If the Warriors keep winning and playing excellent ball, it'll be a second consecutive trip to the playoffs because the Warriors control their own destiny. An excellent option compared to last year where we were forced to root hard for whoever was playing the Clippers.

Tonight, the Warriors travel to the Valley of the Sun to face off against the new-look Phoenix Suns who are now only 1.5 games in front of the Warriors. This is the first time the Warriors get a chance to face the Suns with Shaq and without Shawn Marion. How different will it be?

Hit the jump.

Star-divide

Shaquille O'neal for Shawn Marion. What were the Suns thinking? They're now 5-6 with Shaq now that they're on a 2 game win streak after beating Memphis and San Antonio. Have they turned the corner with Shaq? Did they need about 10 games to get him in the groove? Does it take about 2 weeks for the HGH to kick in and give him his 30 year old legs back?

The Suns clearly were shooting for the playoffs with this move. The thinking was that if they could get to the playoffs having Shaq in the post to defend against Tim Duncan and Carlos Boozer and allow Amare to roam around that would be better than Marion. But defensively, this team seems to be worse off. You lose your best defensive player and replace him with an aging center, and things can't go well. I'm not saying the Suns won't win it all, I'm just saying I think it severely hurts their chances.

With Marion on the team, the Warriors could run up and down with that team and match them shot for shot. How the heck do the Warriors play them now with Shaq on the floor? The same way they've been playing every other team in the league. The Warriors have to force the Suns to play at the Warriors pace. Make Shaq such a liability on defense that Mike D'Antoni has to pull him off the floor. Your now essentially playing the Suns without Marion - I like our chances.

So how do you make Shaq a liability? Nellie's going to have to experiment and see what's working for the night. I think he'll try a lineup with Beans in there setting high screen and rolls like they usually do. Make Shaq come out and guard that pick and roll (which he used to hate in LA). Either Baron/Monta/Jax gets a wide open jumper or Beans is using his quickness in the paint to get off an easy shot. Nash-Shaq guarding Baron-Beans. Then you have Al Harrington too. If Nellie goes super small like he did in last year's playoff run giving Al the center spot and he's knocking down his long range jumper, there's no way Shaq stays in this game because he simply can't venture out to the arc to guard anyone.

But then the Suns will of course try to impose their will on the Warriors. Their Shaq-Amare tandem is quite imposing. How are the Warriors going to stop them? How are the Warriors going to grab a rebound? The Warriors simply don't have the girth to match up with those two. And Nellie won't try to. He'll simply try to outscore the Suns. The faster the pace, the better.

Predictions

  • Warriors win by 5
  • Shaq plays under 15 minutes
  • Al Harrington gets his 20-25 points
  • Amare goes buck wild with 35-16
  • Baron loves facing Nash. Baron loves being on national tv. He'll play so well, Phoenix fans will be chanting M-V-P for him.

crazy matchup
I'm still a little worried what Shaq might do to us. Shaq dominated when he was on the floor in the game we had against Miami earlier in the season. Amare seems to always grill us on the glass and in the post.

With those two on the floor at he same time. We can't front them both. I'm hoping Beans can contain Shaq. It'll be interesting to see who Nellie starts. He normally goes with Al at center when playing the Suns.

Anyway, tonight begins the insane stretch for our Warriors. Now is the time to gain momentum. Let's go DUBS!

Baron
should destroy nash tonight. I have no doubt. Too fast and too strong, he'll go off tonight if he's hitting his jumpers.
My girlfriend hates that I'm into basketball again, and that I yell at the TV during games.

Player X will go off if he's hitting his jumpers
Anybody who makes jumpers scores points, thus is "going off".  If Kosta starts hitting his jumpers, he'll going off!  Seriously though, does Kosta get some PT?  I'd hate to see his PER drop.

That being said, they can't put Nash on Baron for an extended period of time, Baron will just body him up and punish him all game.  Likely, they'll put Nash on Monta and Raja on Baron.  Either way, Nash has to play defense against somebody who's bigger, faster, stronger, and more talented than him.  Monta/BD blowing by Nash and picking up fouls/easy buckets is what's going to get Shaq off the floor.

Be that as it may
38, 9, 8, cliches aside, he outplayed Nash. The W's defense was awful.

Is Vegas crazy?
Let's look at the season record:

Warriors 2-0

Let's look at their recent records
Warriors 8-2
Suns 5-6

Granted it's in Phoenix, and I don't know typical basketball lines, but 7.5?  I'd take that if I was a betting man.

vegas isn't crazy, tnt and espn are suns crazy.
The national outlets are in bed with any team in the west that made a blockbuster trade. Warriors get no love from the national media. Good for warriors fans/bettors because we're always under the radar. The line opened at +3.5 then moved to +7.5 because all the suckers are taking phoenix. Betting went from 20% warriors side to about a 50/50 split now. Warriors are 9-6 on the end of back to backs and could secure the tiebreaker if they secure a win tonight. The only impressive wins they've had were the spurs and celtics. Spurs have been playing soft as of late too, esp. after losing to NO by 25 last night.

by fat slice moses on Mar 13, 2008 3:20 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

the win
against the celtics was not that impressive. None of the shots celtics shot went in. It was a insanely low scoring game. The celtics also played three uptempo teams in a row with Denver, us and then Phx so I am guessing they were a bit pooped out.

my
money on the suns tonight. Back to back and we have our mini streak. Our ministreaks always get killed by the 3rd or 4th game. We have no answer for Amare. Shaq we can probably manage Shaq like Dwight Howard. I have a feeling they're going to rain 3s on us tonight.  

by saintdee on Mar 13, 2008 1:53 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Howard kills us
So you're worried about STAT and Shaq AND you think they're raining 3s?  Are the Suns going to score 150 points in your book?  Chill, it's gonna be OK.

yes the suns will score 150 in my book. You watch. IT WONT BE OK!! IT"LL NEVER BE Ok!!

D'Antoni agrees in today's Arizona Republic:
Winless against Warriors

The Suns haven't beaten Golden State since Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington arrived in last season's trade with the Indiana Pacers. They are 0-3, including two losses this season.

The Warriors, holding down the Western Conference's eighth playoff spot, average a league-best 110.8 points. The Suns are second at 109.6, but this time they feel they're more versatile, especially after wins over San Antonio and Memphis.

"We want to take advantage of Shaq and what he gives us, but I just think we're better defensively and a better basketball team, so we should be better equipped to play the Golden States of the world also," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said.

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

by fotd on Mar 13, 2008 2:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

ok
yes because I am sure you're predictions of "we got this one in the bag" is both intelligent and insightful. Just like we were supposed to have the Chicago game in the bag, and the Indiana game in the bag, and the Charlotte game in the bag. Optimistic predictions more often than not ends in tears.

And Chicken Little was hit by an apple. End of the world predictions normally end up with the party looking foolish.

Optimists needs pessimists though. Cause otherwise, we wouldn't have any bad karma to balance out. Dubs win 124-119

i think
that the warriors got this one in the bag. we handled them quite nicely even wit shawn marion doing everything out there for the suns...now with slow down shaq in the middle this should be a cake walk...ok so the suns won a game against the slow spurs, and the horrible grizzleys..but they only got shaq so they could beat the spurs. i agree with the fact that shaq is gonna have to be pulled off the floor. his defense is gonna be awful and i suspect he'll get into some foul trouble early on with baron and monta drivin into the open lane

Nice preview
Way to break down the Shaqsploitation. I will definitely be looking for that high pick and roll with Baron and Beans. You would have to think that they'll but Raja on Baron, but if Nash is guarding him a Nash-Shaq pick and roll defense should make Baron's mouth water.

by olympicmike on Mar 13, 2008 2:58 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nash on...
I guess Nellie will attack whereever Nash is. If he's guarding Baron, let Baron attack. If he's guarding Monta, let Monta attack. Though I think you're right, Raja will be guarding Baron. Let Monta get his, but don't let Baron go crazy.

Key to the game?
It might be Harrington hitting his outside shots. If he's on tonight, Dantoni might be forced to take Shaq out.

Also, Nelson is the inventor of Hack-A-Shaq, so it's not like he won't have something for O'Neal.

It's going to be a massacre.  

Shaq won't even get more than 10 minutes in this uptempo game.

Ellis and The Baron will take turns dominating Steve Nash and his sorry "defense".

No Marion = No Defense for the Suns.

Amare will get his though, something like 20-20.

Without Marion....
I'm not convinced they're better...
How has shaq been playing in the Suns last two victories?

It really bothers me that they have such a good team, yet they cheer loudest when their in game host tells them to get loud, or they shoot shirts into the stands.

the reason, if we lose this game....
monta ellis lost his confidence and couldn't hit his mid range jumper tonight

by vdozens on Mar 13, 2008 9:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

agreed
monta was missing from the start of the 2nd half. announcers were talking about it on our first 2 possessions.

baron
is the heart and soul of the warriors. this game should be a reminder of whom we should pay out of him and monta if we have to choose.

it's a relief
we're only down 11...need the bench to start contributing.  Or for Al to resurface.

Come on Warriors
everyone can tell Davis is feeling it from three, so free him up for the shot. That was a bad play by whoever set the screen.

We're in good hands though, Baron looks pissed.

bad 3rd qtr for the dubs
4th qtr needs to be all dubs to pull it out.

Monta's the logical choice
but back to back 3's by Stacker could save the day like it has before

1 on 1 play
is f!@#ing terrible to watch.  That is not the way to play basketball.  Pass the ball and create.  Don't just dump it into the post where there hasn't even been any success there and then throw up a wild shot.  We need to start playing better or this is a L.

barnes
so is he really this bad, or is he still suffering the aftermath of his mom passing?

by dirrty on Mar 13, 2008 9:53 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

i don't think so either
But I keep waiting for his breakout game and the Barnes of last year's playoffs.  I just think it's sad he may go from tri-captain to not even being a dub next season.

Do the Warriors watch the Suns play?
Against the Spurs Nash was incredibly clutch, didn't miss a shot down the stretch. Don't let him be that open, come on now.

none of these shots where we get fouled are going down. Absolutely none. And Davis on the line is not a guaranteed 2 points by any means.

We even went to zone defense.  Wtf is that.  We're already a terrible rebounding team, now the zone defense makes it worse.
