The Suns make it a perfect sweep on the season, winning the 4th and final matchup of the season. The Warriors started each half flat, and despite a nice offensive performance from Dorrell Wright they never really stood a chance. Now it’s on to Texas, where things definitely aren’t going to get any easier…

The death march continues at Oracle tonight with the visiting Suns in town. The Suns have owned the Warriors so far this year, as their style seems perfectly suited to picking the Warriors apart — especially since Smart generally refuses to go small. We’ll be without Andris Biedrins who will be sitting with a high ankle sprain — they’ve already announced that he’ll miss the upcoming trip, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just shut him down for the season at this point.

That means Udoh will get the start and extended run, giving him the perfect opportunity to make a nice jump here in the final 13 games of the season. His conditioning issues should be behind him, so might as well see what he can do and even give him a chance to learn from his mistakes.

Speaking of learning from mistakes, it will be interesting to see what both Smart and Curry do tonight with regard to the latter’s playing time. Sure, Curry made some bad turnovers in the last game, but at a certain point don’t you need to let him work through them? And as Feltbot notes, it must be getting old to Curry that he is apparently the only one who Smart dings for making careless mental mistakes. Curry skipped talking to the media after the last game so you know he was peeved — will he have a strong response tonight as a result?

Another ugly loss to the Suns, as the Warriors decided to repeat their Monday performance and make sure this game was out of reach by the end of the first quarter.

Only silver lining was extended run for Ekpe Udoh (and, to a lesser extent, Brandan Wright), who took advantage of the extended garbage time to post career highs of 16 points and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes — and was the only positive Warrior at +1.

But that was about it, and as this season continues to slip out of reach the need to do something drastic to shake up the roster is becoming more and more apparent.

The Warriors head down to Phoenix to play the Suns for the second time in four nights, and I can’t say I’m optimistic: the Suns took the Warriors apart on Monday night, and have been resting since then. Meanwhile, the Warriors will be on the back half of a home-road back-to-back. The Warriors will need to figure out how to cover Channing Frye tonight, and it sure would be nice if they could make some outside shots. Hopefully they’ll get a nice boost from last night’s win, though we all remember how well they capitalized on momentum when they played the Suns earlier this week…

Well, so much for momentum. The Warriors get blitzed in the first quarter, and despite modest improvements the rest of the way they just weren’t able to overcome the disastrous start. They got as close as 5 in the closing minutes, but then Phoenix bombed in 3 deep shots to put the game away (while the Warriors missed their corresponding outside shots).

3-point shooting, one of the Warriors’ biggest strengths this season, really failed them tonight as they went 2-18 — and never adjusted. Defense was the biggest problem though, as Lee and Biedrins had team lows of -22 and -16, respectively — though all the starters were double digit negative on that stat. Monta was a volume shooter at 5-17 (though he picked up 12(!) rebounds), Curry was 0-6 from three, and Dorell Wright did a Monta impression at 3-13.

Silver linings? I guess you could point to solid bench contributions from Udoh (team-high +13) and Reggie Williams (19 sorely needed points).

But, ultimately, the team just wasn’t ready to play in a game they needed to win. And as this “easy” stretch of the schedule starts to come to a close, the future of this season is starting to look fairly bleak.

The Warriors’ season turns 50 games old tonight, as Steve Nash and the Suns visit Oracle in a game between two fringe playoff teams (a perhaps generous characterization).

The Suns are currently a game and a half ahead of the Warriors in the standings, so this is a game the Dubs need to win to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive.

Coming off arguable their best win of the season — and certainly their best team defensive performance — the Warriors will have plenty of momentum to draw off of tonight. Can they make it two good wins — and four overall — in a row?

UPDATE:(By Jake) Adding just a touch to the pre-game because this is the first game I have looked forward to watching for some time. Maybe it is the DayQuil/NyQuil combo talking though. The keys to this game for me are certainly whether or not Curry can keep his turnovers down and whether the Warrior’s can win the FT battle again. Will Curry and Monta be able to contain Nash (on his birthday) and maybe more importantly can the Warrior’s defense keep the Suns big men from hitting the outside shots? I worry about Channing Fry raining down 3′s as the Warriors fail to rotate and then give up offensive rebounds on his misses. I hope to see a total over 220, but it seems that the Warrior’s are winning more when the total is closer to 205.

Pure housekeeping here, as this was a tough loss that made clear just how much the Warriors offense has fallen. Boo.

Another game where I don’t have the time to write a proper preview, but I’d have to imagine that the Warriors will be happy to see the Suns instead of the Spurs tonight. This is one of their best chances for a win over the tough stretch that started on Tuesday, so let’s hope they show up tonight (and that this Cleveland-Miami game EVER ends).

Preseason Game 5: Suns 92, Warriors 87

Brutal shooting nights for both Lee and Monta. Ethan Sherwood Strauss is getting worried about Lee as he’ll be shooting a lot more mid-range jumpers this year since he’s no longer playing the 5, so it would be nice to see him settle that shot down a bit in the final two preseason games. Monta had a classic “old Monta” line with 29 points off 10-28 shooting in 44 (!) minutes.

On the bright side, Curry had only 1 turnover (but only 3 assists), and Brandon Wright had a solid game with 14 and 6 in 19 minutes (and, according to the AP writeup, was key to their late comeback attempt). The Warriors held the Suns to less than 38% shooting, but only shot 33% themselves. The Warriors won the rebounding battle as well, which is starting to become a nice trend.

In the final roster spot battle, Adrien got almost 20 minutes and pulled down 8 rebounds, while posting a +2. Miles played 11 minutes and only had one assist, but also pulled down five rebounds. Advantage: Adrien.

Two more preseason games left, both against the Lakers.

Preview: Warriors at Suns

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns | 7 p.m. | No TV/radio

The Warriors head down to Phoenix tonight for the second half of a back-to-back. What to watch for:

  • Bench production. After playing four of the starters more than 30 minutes last night (with 25 for Biedrins), you’d have to imagine that the bench will get a lot more time tonight on the back end of a back-to-back. Can Brandon Wright crack double digits in either scoring or rebounding? Can Rodney Carney continue to work himself into the offense? Can Charlie Bell show any sort of offensive game? And can Jeremy Lin build on a solid game last night?
  • The continuing saga of roster spot #15. Neither Miles nor Adrien got much playing time last night, though both had solid stats in the limited minutes they played. Assuming they get more time tonight, can either one make a statement? Right now, the external factors are pointing to Adrien (Amundson’s injury and Lin’s solid play last night), so Miles will have to start turning things on soon if he hopes to snag that final spot.
  • Curry’s TO’s. He had 8 turnovers on Saturday, and 6 last night — and the beat writers are starting to notice. Can he put a clean game together tonight?
