Keys to the Game
Make no mistake... this is the war between my two worlds:
I love the Warriors - not nearly as much as the Cavs - but I follow them very closely.
*Maggette (hamstring) and Azubuike (coach wasn't specific) were reportedly "banged up" on Nellie's radio show.
*Nellie never uses a set rotation. He looks over his full bench and tries to create offensive mismatches.
*He plays Maggette at the PF to create speed mismatches. Take note, Wally!
*You can throw thier PER and +/- ratios out the window now that they traded a zero (Harrington) for a hero (Crawford).
*Jamal Crawford is a Cavs Killer, but he doesn't have any chemistry with this team yet, and they have no playmaker who can get him involved quickly. We are playing them at the right time.
*Stephen Jackson is Nellie's man-to-man security blanket. Expect him to match up agaisnt LeBron for every minute The King is on the floor.
*Many Cavs fans love Azubuike, but he and Maggette are black holes. When they have the ball, its going up.
*Expect plenty of quick jump shots from the Warriors... its their bread and butter.
*When Nellie needs a break from the chuck-a-thon, he gives CJ Watson some minutes. Last game, Crawford and Jackson split most of the point duties.
*They are used to Biedrins cleaning up their mess with offensive rebounding, but our bigs can easily clean it up on the boards against these guys.
*Any team that starts Maggette at power forward is playing with fire against a big front line like ours.
*The local press used to give Nellie hell for not playing his younger players. Post-trade, Nellie is starting to catch hell for not playing Turiaf.
The only statistic you need to know
*The Warriors are 2-6 on the road.
*The Cavs are 8-0 and undefeated at home.
Enjoy this game with a cabernet, wheat crackers, and an aged gorgonzola.
