|
| |  | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: Everything should be a full go with RUSSELL WESTBROOK. His attacking style of play will always carry some injury risk, but he hasn't lost any explosiveness to this point . . . REGGIE JACKSON wants to start, but it's a question of whether the Thunder can survive defensively with him and Westbrook in a small backcourt. Jackson is certainly their second-best offensive guard . . . ANTHONY MORROW can flat-out shoot. He can't do anything else, but that floor spacing might be enough to get him 20 minutes per night . . . If the light doesn't turn on, JEREMY LAMB will be on the outside of this rotation. FORWARDS: Once he returns from his foot injury in late November, it should be the same old story for KEVIN DURANT, the reigning NBA MVP . . . He still struggles defensively in space, but SERGE IBAKA will be right there among the league leaders in blocks again. Throw in a reliable mid-range game, and more offensive responsibility with Durant out, and he's a fringe All-Star . . . NICK COLLISON takes charges, but doesn't do much else . . . Rookie MITCH McGARY could be pushing Collison for minutes by midseason . . . ANDRE ROBERSON could get another handful of starts as a defensive presence on the wing, but he rarely plays 20-plus minutes . . . PERRY JONES is on the fringe of this roster. CENTERS: Is this it? Could this be the season that the Thunder finally stop playing KENDRICK PERKINS? . . . STEVEN ADAMS came on strong late last season and is probably already better than Perk. He can defend and moves the ball offensively. | | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: New head coach Steve Kerr doesn't figure to tweak this system much, so expect STEPHEN CURRY to keep doing his thing. He's added elite playmaking skills to his already outstanding deep shooting . . . The Warriors are reluctant to part with KLAY THOMPSON in part because of his three-point shooting, but mostly because of his defensive value alongside Curry . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON will back up both guard spots. He's also the only proven point guard on the roster besides Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH will look to revive his career in Oakland. He'll have to prove his knees are healthy enough before he earns a rotation spot . . . It's a make or break year already for NEMANJA NEDOVIC, who was severely overmatched as a rookie. FORWARDS: ANDRE IGUODALA is a defensive specialist and no more than a role player on offense. His main job is to take some of the playmaking duties away from Curry . . . Kerr seems resigned to the fact that he's stuck with DAVID LEE. He has some value on offense, but remains one of the league's worst defensive frontcourt players. Expect him to lose some minutes under Kerr . . . HARRISON BARNES will play a bit of power forward in some small lineups, but mostly he'll play a wing spot. Barnes will have to regain his confidence early if he's going to be an impact sixth man . . . Kerr has hinted at a bigger role for DRAYMOND GREEN, who will play some stretch-4 this year . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS gives them an offense-only big man off the bench. CENTERS: Kerr has hinted at a bigger offensive role for ANDREW BOGUT. But monitoring the Aussie's minutes may be the bigger goal, to ensure he's actually available for the postseason . . . Back-up center FESTUS EZELI should be ready to return from his knee injury, though he was having shin problems during Summer League. |

*Thunder-Warriors Preview* ==========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Oklahoma City (12-13) at Golden State (21-3), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The NBA-leading Golden State Warriors are looking to start a new winning streak after coming up short for the first time in five weeks.
Doing so won't be easy with Kevin Durant and the surging Oklahoma City Thunder coming to town.
The Warriors try to snap Oklahoma City's seven-game run as the Western Conference heavyweights square off Thursday night.
"It's another game in the regular season for us to get better," Durant told the Thunder's official website. "They're a great team and the No. 1 team in the West right now. We have our work cut out for us. ... It should be a fun matchup."
The Warriors (21-3) are surely eager to get back on the court after their franchise-best 16-game winning streak ended in Tuesday's 105-98 defeat at Memphis. Golden State, which hadn't lost since falling 113-100 to San Antonio on Nov. 11, was limited to 41.1 percent shooting for its second-worst mark this season.
"We understand it was a nice run and something the franchise has never done before," guard Stephen Curry said. "It's put us in a good position to take a tough loss like we did tonight and keep moving. We'll be all right. It was fun while it lasted."
Curry totaled 63 points in the previous two games before scoring 19 on 9-of-25 shooting, including 1 of 10 from 3-point range. Golden State made 11 of 12 free throws, setting a season low for attempts.
"We won 16 games in a row, and that's hard to come by," forward Draymond Green said. "It doesn't happen every day. It was a great streak. Streaks are made to be broken. We can't expect to win 60 games in a row."
The Warriors took the first meeting with the Thunder 91-86 on Nov. 23 with Durant and Russell Westbrook out with injuries. Marreese Speights scored a season-high 28 points off the bench to lift Golden State, which was limited to 35.5 percent from the floor.
Oklahoma City has won 13 of the past 18 matchups. Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 63 points in the previous meeting Jan. 17, but Durant scored a career-high 54 in a 127-121 home victory.
Oklahoma City (12-13) has predictably gotten on track with its two best players back on the court. Westbrook is averaging 27.8 points and 50.9 percent shooting in nine games since returning from a fractured right hand.
Durant (fractured foot) is still rounding back into superstar form, averaging 21.5 points - down from his career mark of 27.3 - in eight games since debuting.
The Thunder stayed hot with Tuesday's 104-92 victory over Sacramento, their fourth consecutive road win. Westbrook scored 32 points and Durant added 26 as Oklahoma City retook control after blowing a 16-point lead.
The Thunder have limited opponents to 93.1 points and 40.2 percent shooting during their seven-game run.
"We just stayed poised because we've been there before. It's not our first time," Durant said. "We've just been trying to get better every single day. I can't keep preaching that enough. Defensively we've been locking in."
The 26-year-old Durant became the second-youngest player to surpass 15,000 points. He's averaging 30.8 against the Warriors for his second-highest mark against any team.
The Thunder will again be without rookie forward Mitch McGary, who's expected to miss at least two weeks due to inflammation in his left tibia. He played seven minutes in his NBA debut against Phoenix on Sunday after working his way back from a fractured foot.
David Lee (hamstring) and Andrew Bogut (knee tendinitis) are out for Golden State, which has won six straight and eight of nine at home.
