Sacramento

Neither team is all that interested in defense so this should be an entertaining game with both teams running up and down the floor.

Sacramento has some good cornerstone pieces in shooting guard Tyreke Evans and power forward Demarcus Cousins.  

Evans is an aggressive multidimensional scorer while Cousins is one of the league’s most imposing figures and rebounders.  And I haven’t even mentioned leading scorer Marcus Thornton.  

This is a good young nucleus that should contend for a playoff spot next year.

Golden State

The Golden State Warriors seem to have given up on this season.   [soliloquy id=”82219″]

They have won only 1 of their last 6 games and with the trade of guard Monta Ellis for injured center Andrew Bogut they have gotten much worse in the short run.  No Ellis, and an injured Stephen Curry makes this usually high scoring team pretty vanilla right now.  

It makes you feel sorry for do everything forward David Lee.

This was the Warriors starting lineup the other day:  Lee, Nate Robinson, Dorrell Wright, Jeremy Tyler and Klay Thompson.  

If the NBA contracted (rumour) only Lee would be able to find a job with another team.  Golden State might be favoured in this one and slightly ahead in the Pacific standing but it is hard to find something to like about this team.  

I think you almost have to fade them from here on out this season.
