In lieu of the habitual preview, I will simply ask you to direct your attention to Red Coleman of 3 Shades of Blue, who has done a good job of previewing the Golden State Warriors versus Memphis Grizzlies game that will occur tonight. Here’s a quick excerpt:

“Golden State is coming off of a loss in Oklahoma City last night, so this will be their second road game in as many nights. That’s always tough, but especially so since the Warriors will play 7 of their next 8 on the road, spanning the All-Star break. Too add to that difficulty, their backcourt duo of Curry and Ellis haven’t exactly been lighting it up lately either. Curry has scored 42 points total in the 4 games since his 36-point outing against Denver just over a week ago. Ellis banged his right knee last night, and sat out the entire 4th quarter for the second game in a row.”

The Golden State Warriors (11-15) will be on the road tonight (5 p.m. PST) to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (22-7) with the hopes of extracting some revenge from their two previous defeats at the hands of OKC. To preview the game, we had Royce Young of Daily Thunder and our Warriors World staff answered some questions.

The last time these two teams met, Monta Ellis dropped 48 points on the Thunder in while Kevin Durant had an All-Star type of night pouring in 33 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out seven assists. And for good measure, he hit the game-winning jumper. What’s on tap for tonight?

With the Golden State Warriors (11-14) set to host the Portland Trail Blazers tonight at Oracle Arena, the Warriors World staff as well as Sean Highkin from Portland Roundball Society answered a few questions to preview the game.

The Golden State Warriors are coming off an exciting win over the Phoenix Suns last night that stretched their winning streak to three while the Portland Trail Blazers fell at the hands of the Washington Wizards last night as LaMarcus Aldridge sprained his ankle early in the contest.

Portland has lost back-to-back games and will be looking to rebound tonight against the Dubs.

The 2000 Portland Trail Blazers were one of my favorite teams of all time. They had a host of athletes on the roster that allowed them to get out in the open court but they also had a dominant frontcourt that allowed them to execute in the half court. And should they face injuries or foul trouble, well they had starting caliber players on the bench to come in and contribute, and thus they rarely missed a beat.

The 2002 Sacramento Kings as well as the 2004 Detroit Pistons were a little similar but they lacked the depth on the bench to truly compare to that Blazers squad.

Preview: After blowing out the Utah Jazz at home on Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors (8-12) will be traveling to Arco Arena tonight to take on a Sacramento Kings (7-15) team that was victorious against the Portland Trail Blazers in an exciting game on Thursday night.

These two teams faced off earlier in the week at Oracle Arena, with the Warriors winning at home. Despite a subpar performance by Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis, the Dubs were able to come through down the stretch thanks in large part to their second unit that essentially took command of the game in the fourth quarter and never relinquished.

Last night, the Utah Jazz (12-8) were defeated at home by an evolving Los Angeles Clippers (13-6) team led by the exploits of Chris Paul in the fourth quarter. CP3 was fantastic throughout the game but especially in the fourth quarter, as he scored 12 of his 34 points. He essentially took the bull by the horns and steered him in the direction of his liking and rode it to victory.
