If you can find a chink in the Golden State Warriors’ armour. It’ll probably be their depth at the center position. They have Andrew Bogut who is a great paint defender. But as we all know, he’s injury prone and cannot go a full season without sitting out for a significant amount of time. As for Festus Ezeli. He continues to battle constant injury. According to CBS Sports, both Bogut and Ezeli are out tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Warriors ruled out centers Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli for Monday’s game against the Thunder, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Bogut (knee) has missed 11 straight games, while Ezeli (ankle) has missed four in a row.
Forward Marreese Speights (12.6 points, 5.2 rebounds) will get another start. Golden State is a 2.5-point home favorite.
The fact that the Warriors are learning to get the job done without their big men is very good to see. Bogut has missed 11 straight games yet they still hold the best record in the league. That’s a positive rooted in the negative. When they have Bogut for a prolonged amount of time. They’re nearly unstoppable. Look back to the winning streak they had earlier in the season. I’m still confident that Bogut will be there for the Playoffs and the Golden State Warriors can make a legitimate run for the NBA Finals.
