Preview: Warriors at Kings

by

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings | 7:30 PT | KNBR

Time for the back end of a home-and-home as the Warriors and Kings do it all over again in Sacramento. Here’s what to look for tonight:

  • Can Monta’s D continue to frustrate Tyreke Evans? He got props for his defense on Evans in Sunday’s game, so it will be interesting to see if Evans tries to make a statement right back tonight.
  • Jeff Adrien vs. Aaron Miles for the 15th roster spot. With Vernon Goodridge being waived yesterday, it appears it will come down to Adrien and Miles. Miles fills the greater need (a backup PG who can spell Curry for 10-15 minutes a night), but if Adrien can keep up his rebounding and continue playing tough interior defense it will be tough to let a guy like that go.
  • Will Andris Biedrins show up? So far it’s been a quiet preseason for Biedrins, though he did have 10 rebounds in the first preseason game. Not the greatest defensive matchup against the size of the Kings’ front line, but it would be nice to see him return the favor and use his quickness to get a bit more active on offense (and show some flashes of the “old” Biedrins).

    Will Biedrins show up? Looks like the answer was no. Scoring despite the percentage was lackluster and rebounding was worse.

    Miles is not doing himself any favors. -19 is not what you are looking for even if the team lost by 19 points. Many others had better numbers. Hard to take much away from Adrien’s 10 minutes but nothing to write home about on the stat sheet.

      No B. Wright, either

        When do we get to officially close the book on the B-Wright era? Gotta be coming up quickly as disappointing as that is.

          Rusty noticed as well — doesn’t sound like much of an explanation was forthcoming from Smart, either. Yikes.
