Alright, just what the Warriors need — a visit from the always-struggling Bobcats!
Wait, what’s that? The Bobcats have won 4 of 5 — including 3 straight on their current road trip — and 10 of 16 overall since Paul Silas took over as coach? Still, I’d rather be facing them than the Spurs or Hornets. I guess.
In what’s becoming a regular occurrence, the Warriors are playing a game that they just can’t afford to lose if they want to keep their fast-dwindling playoff hopes alive.
The big key to me — more for the long-term future of the team than for tonight’s game — is the Biedrins-Udoh dynamic. Will Smart stick with the Latvian and see if he can get *any* production from the big guy? Or will he have a short hook and start giving Udoh more minutes at the 5, especially since Lacob made noise about wanting to see more from the rookie during his Radnich interview yesterday? We’ll find out tonight…
