#DUBnation WARRIORS vs #GoldSwagger PACERS
PLAYBOOKThe Golden State Warriors come into tonight's contest having won three in a row and the Pacers four in a row and something has to give tonight. The Warriors will be up against one of the best Defensive Teams in the Logo in the Pacers. The Pacers are also a Big Team in the Back Court especially with Paul George and Lance Stephenson between the two and the three.
Warriors PG Steph Curry will contend with Pacers PG George Hill and Lance Stephenson will get Klay Thompson which should be solid match ups all the way around. What the Pacers will have to watch for is when GSW goes to PG Jarrett Jack which gives them a completely different element to their game. Watch for the Pacers to use PG-24 as the Big Guard and guard Thompson or even Curry as PG-24 is long-athletic.
The Front Court Warriors All-Star D-Lee (picture above right) face a tough former All-Star PF David West (pictured right in yellow). The Pacers will have to match D-Lee's Blue-Collar Style and that's where Big Roy Hibbert comes in. Area 55 of Gold Swagger has a decided advantage on Rookie Big Festus Ezeli for the Warriors and the Pacers must try to exploit that match up. Warriors Rookie SF Harrison Barnes will also have to be on his A-Game is he will get All-Star Paul George.
The Warriors are trying to keep pace in the West with the #4 Seed Memphis Grizzlies. The Pacers are trying to hold onto the Central and by chance past the Knicks up for that #2 Seed in the East. Remember if the Pacers are a two or three seed they won;t have to play the Champs 305 until the East Finals. The Warriors are #6 and matched up with the Clips but could get in that Four and Five where Memphis and the Nuggets are residing. NBA Drama is unfolding as we head into at-bat March, on deck April, and Winning Time in the hole.
Game time 7pm ET Tonight...
