Golden State V Memphis Preview


Versus


After the motown horror on Sunday night tonight the Dubs now face the task of beating a Gasol less Memphis Grizzlies. Sounds easy right?. Well not really as Memphis boast an achievment we were incapable off beating the Magic in a 123-119 thriller. With the Dubs coming off a slugish performance in Detroit looking slow as well Memphis could pose a threat tonight. Yes they lie at 7-16 but they have more then a few Warrior killers on their roster Mike Miller the most notable. Seriously I always knew he had a nice midrange game but in two out of three games in which these two met he had 78 points combined including a 45 point game in a 118-115 win for Golden State in OT. If the Warriors are to get out of the home of country music it's essential they put a body on this guy. No doubt Brandon Wright will get some playing time. There were so many negatives in Detroit but he was one of the few postives. He's a better Defender then Harrington which isn't saying much and he showed hustle when all was lost but he needs to get a better variety of moves in his offensive game rather then the same awkwardly floating fadeaway jumper from 15 feet next to the baseline. Only then can he become unstoppable

Perdictions:
Mike Miller gets 30 and 10
Damon Stoudamire becomes the unspecting Warrior killer
Davis comes back from two points to 25
Biedrins has 17 and 12
Warriors by 12
