Although, the Warriors has taken the matra as the league's most uptempo team away from the Suns. I do like their team, its just a shame I find myself in a conflict of interest as they are literally fighting with the Suns for valuable playoff standings and division standings.
But, regarding this game, Warriors have been competitive with the Suns have have managed to beat the Suns the last few times, the games have been high octane however, and the main reason for those wins were Monta Ellis or Stephen Jackson just going NUTS on the Suns.
I actually just want to see defense played on Monta, maybe as an indication of the type of defense the Suns can apply on Parker, Bryant, Davis, Paul etc for the playoffs... basically, I want to see the Suns apply some sort of counter measure and do it in this game and from now here forward to show a glmpse of possible answers for these type of players in the playoffs.
I believe with Suns playing a more traditional lineup, Biedrins will play a lot of minutes as opposed to Harington playing C last time and it torched the Suns from the outside. As good as Biedrins is, it may actually benefit the Suns that the tempo of the Warriors will be set to 8 as opposed to 10, therefore giving the Suns a slight advantage with their new lineup.
A back to back game nonetheless, so I actually expect the Suns to win this and prove their worth for the playoffs.
