OPEN THREAD: Game 64 - Warriors @ Suns

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.
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
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!

Am I Michael Scott? I don't know. I might just be a basketball machine.
Warriors on TNT = nation wide recognition
I'm so upset!!!
mmm...
I can never root for the Kings.
Baron
Player X will go off if he's hitting his jumpers
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.

yes.
D'Antoni agrees in today's Arizona Republic:
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.
ok

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

Also, Nelson is the inventor of Hack-A-Shaq, so it's not like he won't have something for O'Neal.
Warriors by 15
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.

nice overall game, but
He had 23 points on 22 shots which is not terribly efficient. I think teams are going to foul him hard now and make him hit the deck more. Phoenix knocked him around good and it looked like it made him a bit hesitant. Dude's only 168 pounds.
Of course, Jackson was stone cold, looked a step slow and didn't rebound.

Ballin
On the bright side
Monta -- was shut down from the field but was still very productive. His speed and craftiness will create points, steals and rebounds even when defenses key on him. Ground out a 23 pt, 6 reb. and 4 assist night and he was having an off game. His game is expanding and it's good to know he's not strictly a scorer.
MP -- giving the W's legit all-around defense and great production every game now. 16 pts, 8 boards and ran like hell until the end. Gives Nellie flexibility in multiple lineups. Forced it a little at the end, but overall another very good outing in 39 minutes. No turnovers in last 90+ minutes.
Kelenna -- solid production: 10 pts and 7 boards ion 21 minutes with No turinover sin 212 minutes. Could have pulled the trigger on some more open threes but played well, in the control and earned more minutes going forward.
7 total turnovers -- protecting the ball like that at the pace they pay is an amazing achievement. If they shot their average they'll win a bunch more with floor games like tonight.
what
3rd quarter
by Caught Backcourt on Mar 13, 2008 11:34 PM PDT up reply actions
think you're right
On the rough side
Biedrins -- Phoenix is always a bad matchup for Andy, but he got posterized far too much tonight. Not in the doghouse but an had off game and Stoudemire just ate him up. Expected to contribute more than 4pts and 4 rebs in 20 minutes.
Jack -- boy, it would have been nice if that late three went in, but he was 4-13 overall with only 1 board. Nice passing early but it was weird seeing him lost on some back door passes by Nash. Not really a guy you worry about having bad games carry over from one game to the next, but Boris Diaw clearly outplayed him tonight. Might have re-aggravated his ankle which is worth watching.
Only 17 team assists -- and gave up 27 to PHX. It;s a statistic we rarely lose so badly. Only 4 players had assists for the Warriors. Baron went wild which sort of hid an out-of-sync offensive night.
