BG needs to run and put up numbers with them. Being Chicago's best scorer and a guy that can put up numbers in bunches, I think it's fair to say that they need him to put the ball in the basket more than normal tonight.</span><span style="color:#000099">Golden State's X-Factor</span><span style="color:#000099">Andris Biedrins</span><span style="color:#FF6600">Season Stats: 10.2 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 1.9 bpg, 62% FG</span><span style="color:#000099">Biedrins has had a great season and he is a real presence for the Warriors. However, tonight will be no cake walk. Biedrins will be matched up against Big Ben Wallace tonight. He needs to establish himself on the boards early.</span> <div align="center">Key Matchup vs. <span style="color:#FF0000">Ben Wallace</span> <span style="color:#000000">vs.</span> <span style="color:#000099">Andris Biedrins</span></div><span style="color:#000000">Both are long, athletic, good rebounders, and good shot blockers. Ben is obviously more established, stronger, and more of a leader, but Biedrins can do most of the same things Ben can. Which center will establish themselves down low best (and that doesn't mean offensively)?</span> CelticBalla's Extra Thoughts/NotesChicago needs to control the pace of the game. They are a half-court set team, Golden State plays run n' gun all 48 minutes. Chicago needs to control the pace of the game. CelticBalla's PredictionI'm going with the Bulls tonight. Golden State is playing without their 2 best players (Baron and J-Rich), and Monta is playing hurt. On the other side, Chicago needs a win. They have been struggling a lot on the road this season. If they can't beat a shorthanded, below .500 team tonight, they have problems. Let's go Bulls!
Wow, is anyone watching this game?What an amazing come back by Golden State, they are now tied with the Bulls after the bulls were up by like 10.
Wow, Golden State is pretty dumb, they should of called a time out and set up there offense for the last shot with 3 sec left.Man, but settle for a half court shot, now over time.Great Game tho.
Nice come from behind win by GS, really was a great game, I wanted to change it, but the game kept getting better and better.Nice game, and good Job Golden State.
I cant believe that Golden State pulled out that game. They were down big in the third, and then GS just started shooting the lights out. Chicago just couldnt close them out. They shot terribly in the 3rd and 4th quarter from what I saw.
C'mon chicago, they are down their 2 best guys and you couldnt pull it off in the end. They had them in the 4th quarter but there was alotta golden state momentum.
Monta Ellis is a great player..really making a case for most improved player..and he's finally getting some reognition
