Celtics and Warriors both try to bounce back in Oakland tonight
The Warriors are coming off what is probably one of their most gut wrenching defeats of the season.
A 102-98 loss to Kevin Garnett and the Nets that ended a ten game win streak for the dubs.
The Nets win also prevented the first 7-0 road trip in NBA history.
Still 6-1 including a win against the defending world champion Miami Heat on the road is not too shabby.
The Celtics are coming off a 111-105 loss at the hands of their former coach Doc Rivers' new team the LA Clippers in a game where they just could not quite get over the hump.
Jordan Crawford somewhat awakened from his road trip slumber against the Clip-show scoring 24 points but also committing five turnovers.
Crawford is shooting 35.0 percent during the Celts current six-game losing streak and has gone 4 for 26 from 3-point range.
It should be interesting also to see what new acquire Jerryd Bayless does tonight considering he had a solid first game for the Celts hitting 2-4 from range and finishing with 11 points.
The only problem is for the season he is shooting 37% overall and a mere 30% from distance so I'd temper the enthusiasm until we see more from him.
My prediction:
The Warriors may be coming off a loss but there's no place like home.
Warriors 127 Celtics 109
