Warriors vs. Nuggets, Feb. 6, 7:30PM FSN You know the drill. It 'aint no thang but a chicken wang -- or a chicken nugget -- or twelve of them, they'll all be gobbled up tonight. -- Mullin gets a good look at a few potentially available big men: Camby and Nene. -- Pietrus to get significant minutes guarding Melo. -- Baron's ankle healed-up and a spirited match-up between he and... Andre Miller! -- JRich: Shows no signs of pain the back, is the difference maker down the stretch, and continues his stellar FT shooting. -- Monty: He may not have said it in practice but he's feeling some internal pressure to take minutes from Derek Fisher and hand them over to Monta Ellis at the back-up PG. And who better to chase Earl boykins around all night? Not Fish. Ellis could get significant minutes tonight. -- Biedrins: Continues to play like an animal. With Baron's ankle healed-up, look for the Long-Armed Latvian to throw down some monster jams. -- Murph: Continues to flirt with a season-average double-double. As Rick Barry says, "He's a classic double-double guy." Not sure what the hell that means, but hey! go Warriors. -- Ike: Can I get a 'lil bit? Home boy has been jonesing for some PT and some touches in the paint. He won't be truly effective down there until he can pass out of the double team (and not out of exasperation but to make a play). The paradox Ike must learn here is that once you look to pass more, you'll actually get more good shots for yourself. Look for Ike keep his eyes up and options open in the post.
Dude, they're playing the Denver Nuggets tonight lol. Btw, Pietrus is averaging 14.4 pts over his last 5 games in 32 mins, putting up consistent numbers.
Yeah, I dunno where the hell I got that lol -- it would have been an easier step to 18-8! (I'll revise).
