Game two of the Golden State Warriors' five-game road trip takes them to New Jersey, where the until recently winless Nets will be going for their third win in four games.
The Warriors may be without Anthony Randolph, who missed practice Tuesday because of a family emergency in Arkansas. The Chronicle reported Tuesday that Randolph had not officially been ruled out for Wednesday's game and added that the issue requiring his attention was known prior to Monday's game, which may be a reason for his uninspired game.
On a positive note, Anthony Morrow is back and should be in the starting lineup.
While the Warriors were in New York on Tuesday, having practice and otherwise enjoying a day off, the Nets were actually in Chicago, pulling out a 103-101 victory. After setting the NBA record with 18 straight losses to start the season, the Nets have won two of their past three games.
Former Stanford standout Brook Lopez averaged 28 points and 12 rebounds in the two wins and is averaging 19.2 points and 9 rebounds per game for the season.

If Randolph gets back in time I would love to see him start over Moore. With the Warrior's record and injury list Moore's value is rest for a starter. I would do that every game until Goose gets back.
Santa Ellis, Morrow, Randolph, Curry, Vlad to Watson, Corey, Moore
The Nets are four wins away from having a record as bad as the Warrior's.
Trails aren't the only thing those guys are blazing up there in Portland. I'm surprised they didn't try to incorporate the Sixers, Brand and Iverson.
thats the kind of idiot trade the warriors would go for...
Cohan,Nelson,Maggette and Moore must go now...trade THEM...
.........BOYCOTT........
