Don't sleep on the Warriors

[Peter Delevett]

Ryan, I'm not sure how many Warriors games you've seen
in the past year, but Jackson is far from a terrible
defender. He was the main guy on Nowitski during
Golden State's playoff upset of the Mavs last spring,
and he held Chris Bosh to 4-for-12 shooting the other
night (http://tinyurl.com/37foxk).

Jackson and Davis feed off each other on both ends of
the court; they can be a scary tandem. The key, as you
mention, is whether Jackson loses his cool and gets
thrown out of the game; I have to think he's on his
best behavior right now, having just come off a
suspension that cost his team 6 games.

They've won three straight now, and aside from Davis
and Jackson have a stable of good wing players
(Pietrus, Barnes, Ellis and the kid Azubuike, who's
filled in nicely for Jason Richardson) plus a couple
of decent bigs (Al Harrington and Biedrins, who's
averaging a double-double so far). It should be a test
for the Celtics.
