Matt Bonner returns to the Oracle Arena to put on a dominating performace once again. In the last matchup between the Warriors and Spurs, Bonner busted out for 25 pts on 9 for 17 shooting, 3 of 4 from the three point line and grabbed 17 rebounds over the vertically-challenged Warriors. With rumors of Tim Duncan sitting tonight's game out, look for Bonner to again run amuk on the Warriors' home court.

Wow. Just wow.

I was flat-out wrong in my prediction.

The Spurs played pretty good defense; however, I didn't expect the Warriors to put this much effort into their own.

They were chasing down loose balls, getting hands in the lanes, and stripping them from the ball-handlers. Only problem was the defensive rebounding when Biedrins wasn't in the game.

Azubuike's rebounding and energy off the bench was a big boost to the Warriors. I love that he doesn't settle for three's and takes the ball to the rim.

Biedrins changed the game when he entered; his high percentage shots and inside prescence was clearly felt. It's not a coincidence the Warriors made runs when he was in the game.

The loss to the Lakers in LA was expected. Whether it was from tired legs or guarding Bynum all night long, the Warriors' energy dropped in the second half and the Lakers ran away with the game.
