Can it finally be true? Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf are rumored to be coming back for this game against the Phoenix Suns. Oh please, let it be true. Man, would it be nice to see the Warriors get some help in the middle.
The Suns are -3 road favorites in this game, playing on a back-to-back. I'm not surprised, are you? The Suns are playing out of their minds so far this year. And the last time the two teams played, in the second game of the season, the Suns torched the Warriors by 22 in Phoenix. I have a sneaking suspicion the Warriors will play better in this game, though, for numerous reasons: Monta is now in game shape, Curry is no longer playing like a deer in the headlights, Randolph is healthy and coming off a strong game, and Stephen Jackson is gone. And then there's this: the Warriors have lost 7 straight games, and are mad as hornets. And Phoenix is a terrible road team, having lost their last 6 road games. I'm looking forward to a heck of a game.
Jump for some matchup madness and predictions.
Hey, where did you come from?
Matchup Madness:
Assuming Biedrins and Turiaf are back, it will be interesting to see whether Don Nelson elects to play a big lineup, with Randolph at power forward. Nellie said earlier in the season that Randolph wasn't ready to match up against Amare Stoudemire. Is he ready now? I'm guessing that Nellie will guard the rugged Stoudemire with Biedrins and Turiaf.
That would leave Randolph to guard Channing Frye out at the three point line. Or would it? Nellie might be better served starting Vlad Rad (am I really writing this?) against Frye, and reserving Randolph for use against Amundsen off the bench. This would create a definite mismatch in Randolph's favor, and also bring his shot-blocking prowess back into the paint.
Monta should matchup against JRich to start this game. I think this matchup will go solidly in the Warriors favor: Monta has excelled guarding big guards this year, but JRich has no prayer of staying in front of Monta. In the first game these two teams played this season, JRich was serving a suspension, and Barbosa absolutely torched the Warriors. Its my feeling that the longer JRich is on the court, and Barbosa on the bench, the better it will be for the Dubs.
The truly fascinating matchup in this game, in my eyes, will be Curry against Nash. The Master gave the rookie quite a lesson in the last game, putting up 18 pts. and 20 assists. I'm guessing that the outcome will be far more even in this game. Curry has made great strides defensively lately. And in the last few games, he has also finally started to aggressively look for his own shot. I expect him to take it right at the old man, at the insistence of Nellie.
Predictions:
- Warriors fans give Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf standing ovations, and weep in their seats.
- Curry torches Nash for 20+.
- Monta over JRich by TKO, in the third quarter.
- Randolph picks up his third Melted Brain of the season, against Lou Amundsen.
- Corey Maggette gets stoned on a drive against Grant Hill, and stares at the ref.
- Chocolate Rain, Chocolate Rain....
- If Beans and Turiaf both go 15 minutes: Warriors win. Warriors win. THAAA... Warriors win.

We might actually have 4 players who can play the 4 and 5 tonight
AB, Ronny, AR, and Chris Hunter. If you are not one of those 4 players, I don’t want to see you at the 4 or 5. Let Corey play the 3 (backed by Radmanovic) and play Monta, Curry, Morrow, and CJ at the guard positions. And also, let’s try running some actual plays when the game slows down and we end up in halfcourt situations—if we work on D and move the ball effectively on offense, we could beat the Suns.
However, I don’t expect the W’s to do this, and I expect the Suns will win.

Thanks for deleting my fanshot, GSOM mods
What did I violate? Seriously..
don't be too surprised.
mods will delete anything THEY deem un-fanshot/un-fanpost worthy. it’s all a matter of opinion, and of course theirs always wins out _.

I would like to see Maggette starting tonight
And I’m seeing a Randolphesque 8 blocks for Amundsen. I thought he played really well in our summer league last year and now he’s going to get his revenge.
With Biedrins and Turiaf back...
it means Hunter is going to have to leave soon.
I’m not so sure about this injury exception rule,though.
Anyways,it’s really nice to have our big men back.
WE BELIEVE GOT OUR BIG MEN BACK!

Not so fast...
according to Matt Steinmetz tweet,
Ronny Turiaf will return tonight vs. Phoenix. Biedrins not until Monday vs. Celtics. More at CSNbayarea.com in a little
DOH!
I knew I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. Oh well Turiaf is better than nothing
"There he goes. One of god's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
Randolphs first start
I was EXTREMELY PLEASED! We were finally controlling the paint and the hornets couldn’t keep the pedal to the metal going as long as Randolph was around. Every time they went to the hoop all of their shots were altered and they had to release on the way up. Once Randolph was on the bench to rest they went on a run. It’s going to be great to see him play alongside a rebounder!!!!
Haha
Corey Maggette gets stoned on a drive…
LOL.
Doesn’t this happen after the game, not during it?
Prediction
I actually like the W’s tonight, and I think Vegas does too. Suns should probably be a 4.5 or 5 point favorite, but they are on a home/road B2B over the holidays, and they don’t play well on the road (someone mentioned 6 road losses in a row), while the W’s are rested, have lost 7 in a row (I think, I stopped counting last week), and should play slightly inspired with the return of Turiaf.
If J-Rich and Monta match up, I would post J-Rich up on Monta and let him go to work the entire game until the W’s try to double team (a la J-Rich working over DFish in the playoffs a few years back until the Jazz made the adjustment), though I’m not sure the Suns would employ that strategy. This is where the W’s really miss Azuibuke. On the other side, Monta will run circles around Richardson.
I don’t expect too much D tonight from either team, especially the Suns.
Please Warriors
Win this game, give it like a late christmas present and my early birthday present. And I will be watching the game live with my wife and inlaws.

Game Predictions
- The Phoenix Suns defeat our Golden State Warriors, 118-106.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 29 points.
- Stephen Curry has more points, rebounds, assists and steals than both Amar’e Stoudemire and Steve Nash each.
- Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf are limited in their return.
- Channing Frye has a huge night.

I don't know how we're going to guard Channing Frye
He has a better 3 pt shooting % than everyone on our team besides Anthony Morrow. You put a short defender on him, he’ll shoot over him. You put a big defender on him, Frye will run around him, unless Frye’s has slow speed. Maybe you swarm little guys on him before he shoots, force him to pass.
Now, who’s going to guard Amare?
I think
Radman could handle Frye and that would leave Randolph on Amare.
But… Radman sucks right now and probably won’t play that much unless he comes out hitting shots. In that case I think Randolph would take Frye and Turiaf would take Amare.
But… Turiaf probably won’t play too much as he’s probably out of shape and Amare would abuse him anyways.
Conclusion: One or both of them will have a huge game unless Radman steps it up.

I'm not even saying he's the type of player that will lead a team to a championship...
But if pre-breakdown Kirilenko can be a key player for a playoff team, I see no reason why Randolph can’t be… you don’t just give up guys like that when they should be college juniors…

morrow's slump
one of my theories about morrow’s slump is that he’s grieving from that family death, like matt barnes. But unlike Matt Barnes, I haven’t heard ANYTHING about it, no teammates hugging him, comforting him, NOTHING. So I’m thinking that his slump is something else.
or he's human

note
in our last 7 losses. Randolph has played 25.5 mins per game. and only averaged 9 rebs per 36. Pretty bad for a PF/C, especially since he spends most his time @ center…

But you have to be impressed that the staff has the confidence to match him up with the likes of Nash or Paul… and he does alright, all things considered…

Well, for me I go with Maggs over Morrow because: 1) He missed a free throw that would have really put the game away 2) Maggette was really out of character there in the 4th.
CJ also deserves an honorable mention for keeping Nash in check in the 4th.

That was more a great job by Ronny (they switched pick & roll & had Morrow rotating down every time except once (for an Amare dunk)).
contrary to what Fitz claimed, CJ gave up a wide open 3 to Nash by gambling for a steal. for some reason Nash hesitated.

those rebounds & assists wouldn’t have mattered if they didn’t shoot 57%. i know this is difficult to fathom watching the dubs, but most teams hold the opposition to under 46%. In fact, before this game the Suns were in 16th place holding the opposition to 45.6%….. there are very few teams that have probably ever lost a game shooting 57% for the whole game.

Don't be so condescending
The Suns still shot almost 54%. If they just got a few more rebounds, or trips to the line, it’s not impossible for this to have been a loss.

well i’ll apologize for sounding condescending, that was not my intent. it was meant to be a poke at the dubs bad d, which i thought you’d get – again, my bad.
but the fact remains 57% is an insane % and a team that shoots 57% is rarely gonna lose. Corey’s TS% was 82% in this game. he was 5 for 5 on jumpers. it’s unlikely that he ever has a game this efficient. AR was 2-3 on jumpers, CJ 3-4 on jumpers, Monta 7-14 on jumpers, Curry 3-6. only Morrow shot under 50% on jumpers 4-10 – 40% which is still a pretty decent % for jumpers.

You’re completely right about 57%, but it’s not like 54% isn’t outrageous. You could probably get away with saying “You’ll rarely lose if you shoot 54%.” If the Suns weren’t the other awful rebounding team in the NBA, this could have been a win for them.

plus a lot of those assists were of the inconsequential kind (for example throwing it to Maggette in the pinch post, him staring down his defender and hitting a turnaround jumper – you get an assist as long as there isn’t a dribble).

Yeah
But if Amare Stoudemire had showed up the Suns probably win the game, but making Nash the primary scorer helped the Warriors. He only ended up with 9.
What I keep visualizing
That last pass by Ellis to Maggette instead of forcing it up with like 30 seconds to go!!!! Then Maggette getting fouled and going to the line.
I was really enjoying the phoenix broadcast team
Until they turned to cry babies when they sensed the warriors were going to win lmao!
FINALLY
we get a slide on NBA’s homepage
they always kiddin up to da fakerz

thank you god
It feels like its been forever since we’ve won. Look bottom line its a road-home thing, you guys always overlook that. When we play at home, for the most part, we compete and have a chance to win, on the road we rarely do that and usually get destroyed. When I see a home game up next on the schedule I always think theirs a good possibility for a win, but when I see a road game up next I have a hard time even watching the game. If we played all 82 games at home we would finish 55-27 this year. Too bad that’s not the way it works

Don't make a trade unless the benefits are great
I’d love to see that same team with a healthy roster – Biedrins, Buike, and BWright would have fit in great!
If we can trade for a solid, smart, veteran forward then we should – otherwise keep this team in tact.
