Warriors vs. Suns, 12/7/05 - 7:30pm (FSBay, NBALP, KNBR 60)

As you guys might already know, the Suns blew out the Blazers last night by 45 points...scary. What will the W's need to do to stop the Suns who have won 7 in a row?

1. A good dose of BD posting up, driving and penetrating and getting Nash to try to play D.
2. Shoot half the number of 3s as usual, therefore limiting the long rebound and quick outlet pass that leads to breaks.
3. Good help D.
4. Without MP2, energy off the bench. I'd like to see Beans and Diogu take it to the rack when they come in and force Shawn Marion, their main shotblocker, to foul. Also, watching Murph get stuffed (numerous times) by Emeka said something about his tenacity this year. I think if he keeps attacking the rim like that, block or no block, he'll find himself at the line more often then before.
5. Make their damn freethrows!

 

Since its a back to back for Phoenix the W's need to start the game with intensity. They need to jump on them early and build a solid first half lead. If they do that they can control the game. Phoenix will be tired. I always worry about intensity after a long layoff. The W's will be rested but will they be ready?

Bring it on!

 

Stop Diaw. 13 assists last night! Man he's exactly what Dunleavy should be bringing, additional ball movement without cutting into the PGs stuff (Nash had 12 assists.)

Man, if I was a Hawk fan, I'm pissed big time, $75M to Joe Johnson and lose Diaw.

Warriors match up fine with the Suns, the Suns will not kill them down low and will run so its just a matter of the W's playing hard and riding the home court advantage.

 

Mullin should trade Dunleavy for Diaw, and somehow make it seem like a good deal for the Suns. Diaw is the true triple threat, not Dunleavy.

 

Sorry about the typo in the title...it is KNBR 680, not 60...oops.

 

Looks like Baron's grandma is here at the Arena. Warriors by 10! There's no way Baron Davis gets shown up tonight.

 

Murphy is sick and Fisher starts? I think we'd need Diogu in there to beef up the front line.

Yeah, Baron will be pissed if he loses this game in front of his grandmother.

 

Damn what's up with Richardson? He's playing kinda dumb right now.

 

the warriors have to take drives to the hoop and not settle for jump shots, those long misses are only fueling the suns fastbreaks.

 

Dunleavy has to keep going to the rim like that and get the suns in foul trouble.

 

We need Richardson to show up for the game. Somethings up with him tonight.

</div>he might be saving it for the 4th quarter.

 

Warriors are keeping up with the suns.

 

this is a must win game for the warriors lakers won, suns are 1/2 behind us and we have to keep up with the clippers.

 

Monta Ellis checks in the game. Ellis looks like Tony Parker out on the floor from a distance.

 

I can't believe the call continuation on that shot by nash. The refs gave him the continuation only because he's the mvp and ellis was guarding him.

 

Yeah it's a bummer. Hmm since Dunleavy is doing so well how come he ain't shooting more?

 

65-63 warriors at the half, man it looks like they might get to 120 at the current pace.

 

Dunleavy might be thinking that he is hoging the ball to much and has sarted to defer?
