O M G !!!

The Charlotte Bobcats ride Jason Richardson's superb performance to a 95-83 victory over the Boston Celtics.

A former Warrior and still a fan-favorite among Warrior fans, JRich finished the game with a line of 34 points on 14 of 22 shooting, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.

Back in Warriors land, CJ Watson was signed to a 10-day contract out of the dleague and should get a few minutes in tonights game against the Blazers. Hopefully, he will do as well as Azubuike last year and provide Baron with a bit of rest.

The team he will be facing have started on another winning streak after finishing off a double digit one not too far back ago. The surging Blazers are led by a young star in the making, Brandon Roy. Rumor has it that Roy may be out of the lineup which would greatly benefit the Warriors as Roy abused them the last time out.

However, Blazers' offense isn't all focused on Roy. The team shares the ball really well and spaces out the floor well enough to run the pick and roll that destroyed the Warriors last time out. Each player on the team have a decent jump shot so zoning up against them would probably be a problem. They are also athletic enough to match up against the Warriors as well. Hopefully, the Warriors aren't going to have a letdown after the great win yesterday over the Spurs.
