|
| | | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is this offense's engine and a stat-stuffing machine, as long as he's healthy. His ankle should be healed, but his small frame hasn't proven to be up to the rigors of the NBA . . . KLAY THOMPSON is a pure shooter who played himself into a starting job last year. He's a bit one-dimensional, but this spread, up-tempo offense is right up his alley . . . JARRETT JACK will back up both guard spots and provide some insurance for the fragile Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH is going to push for a starting job, but he's never proven to be more than a second-unit talent . . . As a rookie, CHARLES JENKINS proved worthy of a roster spot during his late-season audition. But he'll be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs as long as Curry and Jack are healthy. FORWARDS: DAVID LEE's touches will drop alongside Andrew Bogut. The Warriors seem prepared to give him major minutes despite his defensive shortcomings . . . HARRISON BARNES should push for a starting job early. He's not a great iso player, but the Warriors' offense should set him up with catch-and-score opportunities . . . CARL LANDRY is active around the basket and should do some damage over 20 MPG . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is going to be in a mentor role until his contract expires in two years . . . JEREMY TYLER is young and a borderline usable big off the bench . . . Second-rounder DRAYMOND GREEN isn't an athlete but does a bit of everything. He figures to have a limited role as a rookie. CENTERS: His fractured ankle is not quite 100 percent, but ANDREW BOGUT hopes to be healed enough when the season starts to be the centerpiece of the frontcourt. He can rebound and defend, and he'll get his share of easy scoring opportunities with so many shooters spreading the floor . . . The Warriors seem content to let ANDRIS BIEDRINS rot on the bench . . . Rookie FESTUS EZELI is too raw offensively to see significant minutes. | | BOSTON: GUARDS: This offense now belongs to RAJON RONDO, and that should be especially true during the regular season . . . Even if he comes off the bench, JASON TERRY figures to see the bulk of the minutes at shooting guard. He provides some much-needed outside shooting after Ray Allen left and should challenge Paul Pierce for the team lead in shot attempts . . . Adding COURTNEY LEE was more of a move for the future. He's a fine young second-unit player for now and should be an heir apparent on one of the wings . . . AVERY BRADLEY could be out until December after shoulder surgery. As Boston's best perimeter defensive player, he could reclaim his starting job in the season's second half . . . The addition of LEANDRO BARBOSA gives Boston another veteran who can create his own offense in the second unit, something that was sorely missing in last year's playoff run. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE quietly had a great regular season last year. Though with some improved depth behind him, Rivers might have his 35-year-old All-Star wing rest more often . . . BRANDON BASS gives them another scoring option, even if he does struggle on the defensive end. He'll get full-time minutes only in certain matchups as long as the frontcourt is healthy . . . JEFF GREEN's heart condition is no longer a concern, but the tweener's role in Boston after a year off is cause for worry . . . There are already question marks surrounding rookie JARED SULLINGER's back. He's very similar to Bass: He can score out to mid-range but doesn't play much defense. Expect him to be strictly a second-unit player in his first NBA season . . . CHRIS WILCOX will provide fouls off the bench when healthy. CENTERS: The Celtics are prepared to go with KEVIN GARNETT in the middle, which was the case when they were at their best last season. His role on offense is still knocking down mid-range jumpers, and he's still an elite defensive player . . . Professional flopper JASON COLLINS will fill in nicely for the departed Greg Stiemsma . . . FAB MELO is years away from being ready to contribute (if he actually is ever ready to contribute) and DARKO MILICIC was also added via free agency for more frontcourt depth. |

*Warriors-Celtics Preview* ==========================
By MIKE LIPKA STATS Editor
Golden State (33-25) at Boston (30-27), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Stephen Curry is coming off a performance in which he did everything except deliver the Golden State Warriors a victory.
That task may not be much easier in the next stop on a challenging trip.
Golden State's sharpshooting guard should get some help from David Lee on Friday night when the Warriors seek to snap the Boston Celtics' seven-game home winning streak.
Curry posted the highest single-game point total in the NBA this season Wednesday at Madison Square Garden, piling up 54 points - not to mention seven assists and six rebounds - while hitting 11 of 13 from 3-point range.
Sixteen of his points came in the final quarter, but Raymond Felton blocked his jumper with the game tied in the final two minutes as New York went on to win 109-105.
"He put on a clinic," coach Mark Jackson said. "Knocked down shots. Made plays. Carried us. Led us in rebounding. He did it all.
"I've seen a lot of great performances in this building and his goes up there. I've seen a lot. I've seen a lot, but that shooting performance was a thing of beauty."
Golden State (33-25) was especially in need of Curry's production without Lee, who was serving a one-game suspension for his role in an altercation in Tuesday's 108-97 defeat at Indiana. Curry was almost as good in that game, scoring 38 points - his season high for about 24 hours - and hitting 7 of 10 from beyond the arc.
Lee will look to help carry the load Friday. The former Knicks big man, whose 37 double-doubles lead the league, is averaging 27.7 points and 12.0 rebounds in his last three games at Boston.
The Warriors may need both stars at their best to beat the Celtics, who have taken four straight at home in this series and have beaten Miami and both Los Angeles teams during their current run in Boston.
Golden State handled the Celtics at home in a 101-83 victory Dec. 29, with Curry getting 22 points and nine assists and Lee scoring 20 on 10-of-15 shooting. Curry was 4 for 5 from 3-point range as the NBA's best 3-point shooting team hit 12 of 19.
This is a brief stop home for Boston (30-27) following a five-game trip, with two more road contests next week.
The Celtics haven't played since Monday night, when they capped their trek with a 110-107 overtime win at Utah. Paul Pierce posted 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, but was unhappy his team squandered a lead late in regulation.
"It would have felt better just to get a stop when we needed it," Pierce said. "That's what we need to get better at. ... That's what we need to start focusing on. When we get the lead and we need crucial stops, we have to figure out how to get them."
Boston's defensive numbers have slipped this season, but visitors have struggled to score during the Celtics' home win streak, averaging 92.1 points on 41.3 percent shooting and hitting just 26.7 percent from 3-point range.
The Warriors, meanwhile, can blame their defense for their recent problems on the road. They allowed 113.1 points per game while dropping seven of eight away from home in February.
They'll play seven straight at home following Saturday's game at Philadelphia.
