|
| | | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is not only the NBA's best shooter, but he has also become a great passer. Durability is the only question about him now . . . KLAY THOMPSON should take advantage of the many open looks he'll get playing alongside Curry and Andre Iguodala . . . The Warriors lost Jarrett Jack and brought in TONEY DOUGLAS. While Douglas got his career on track in Houston last year, he'll strictly be a second-unit guy as Iguodala erases the need for a second point guard . . . NEMANJA NEDOVIC is looking at a redshirt year, especially after an injury-filled summer. The Serbian combo guard should overtake Douglas eventually . . . There are few things in the world better than KENT BAZEMORE celebrating a Curry three. FORWARDS: ANDRE IGUODALA is a perfect fit in Oakland, where he can play point forward and set up the Warriors' many shooters. He's also a crafty cutter who should do some sweet things alongside Stephen Curry . . . DAVID LEE draws attention away from their shooters, which ensures him a significant role. But he kills this team with his awful defense . . . HARRISON BARNES may come off the bench more often, but the Warriors will frequently go small with Barnes stretching to the four, especially after Barnes' impressive postseason showing . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS steps into Carl Landry's role as a low-post scorer off the bench . . . DRAYMOND GREEN had some trouble as a rookie. He'll have to play his way into this rotation. CENTERS:ANDREW BOGUT is injury-prone and will continue to be an afterthought on offense. They'll have to rest him often during the regular season . . . Between Bogut and JERMAINE O'NEAL, they're hoping at least one of them will be healthy at all times to protect the rim . . . FESTUS EZELI had major knee surgery and is unlikely to return in time for the Feats of Strength or the Airing of Grievances. | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: CHRIS PAUL is back with the Clippers, and this time with his handpicked head coach. Not that Doc Rivers will make a big difference though, as he's just as uncreative an offensive tactician as Vinny Del Negro was . . . J.J. REDICK will do less ball-handling than he did in Orlando the first half of last season, but he should feast on the wide-open looks Paul creates for him . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will once again be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. He's a pure gunner with some creativity to his game . . . DARREN COLLISON is strictly a back-up after a dreadful one-year stint in Dallas . . . WILLIE GREEN, a starter in name-only last year, may be squeezed out of the rotation. FORWARDS: BLAKE GRIFFIN deferred more often last season, especially as he continues to see more double teams. But he did show improvement as a passer . . . JARED DUDLEY steps into Caron Butler's old role. He'll set up for a lot of wide-open corner threes. His reputation as a quality defender is downright wrong . . . MATT BARNES will often close games due to his defense, and he's coming off one of his best offensive seasons . . . Rookie REGGIE BULLOCK is the kind of spot-up shooter the Clips want to surround Paul with. If Bullock's defense matches up with his athleticism, he could break this rotation . . . It's tough to see how BYRON MULLENS fits on a team with postseason aspirations. CENTERS: Though he's the team's only real rim protector, DEANDRE JORDAN will likely be in a part-time role again. He still can't defend the pick-and-roll, and Rivers got by just fine without a shot-blocker in Boston . . . RYAN HOLLINS is little more than a big body with six fouls to give. Blake Griffin will often slide to the five on this team. |

*Warriors-Clippers Preview* ===========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Golden State (41-24) at Los Angeles (45-20), 10:30 p.m. EDT
Thanks largely to Blake Griffin, the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Clippers are enjoying their longest winning streak of the season.
The second-place Golden State Warriors have put together an impressive run of their own.
Both teams try to keep their runs going as Los Angeles and visiting Golden State close their season series Wednesday night.
The Clippers (45-20) have won eight in a row while averaging 115.5 points and continued their surge Monday by beating Phoenix 112-105 behind 37 points from Griffin.
"He is one of those players that you can't stop," teammate Danny Granger told the Clippers' official website. "He had a jump shot going on tonight, and a lot of times he just bullies people. Push them under the rim and lay the ball up or dunk it. That makes some people mad, when you have a force like him."
Griffin, who had 22 points in the first quarter, shot 14 of 16. The four-time All-Star has scored at least 20 in a career-high 23 straight games, a stretch over which he is averaging 27.8.
"Blake has been doing it all year long, dominating all year long, he's being consistent," guard Darren Collison said. "I think we're used to it which is a good thing. ... He's just reading the defense, if they're pressing on him, he's using his strength. If they're playing off him, he's taking that shot. He's playing with a lot of confidence right now."
Griffin will try to keep rolling against the Warriors (41-24), who have won five straight after easily getting by Dallas 108-85 on Tuesday. Jordan Crawford came off the bench to lead five Warriors in double figures with 19 points, and Golden State shot 51.3 percent while holding the Mavericks to 36.6 percent.
The Warriors are four games behind Los Angeles in the division and sit three games ahead of Dallas and Memphis for sixth place in the Western Conference.
"It's a big-time win for us," coach Mark Jackson said. "If you lose this game, then all of the sudden there's three teams again within striking distance. I think this gave us some breathing room, especially with the fact that we have a big game (Wednesday) night against a red-hot Clippers team."
Golden State's last four wins have come by an average of 15.7 points.
"It's fun," Crawford said. "To be on a streak like this heading into the playoffs and to move up the standings, it brings the competitive spirit out in everybody."
While the Warriors have thrived of late, leading scorer Stephen Curry (23.3 points per game) has been relatively quiet while playing through a quadriceps injury. He has gone 6 of 23 from 3-point range while averaging 14.8 points during the winning streak.
Curry has shot 28 of 45 (62.2 percent) from long distance and put up 24.0 points per game in his last six against the Clippers.
The Warriors have taken seven of 10 in the series but are 2-6 in their last eight visits to Los Angeles. The Clippers won 126-115 in the last matchup at Staples Center on Oct. 31 as Chris Paul led the way with 42 points and 15 assists while Curry scored 38.
Clippers guard Jamal Crawford, second on the team with 18.7 points per game, is uncertain to be available after missing four of the last five games with a strained left calf.
