Bogut to play tonight vs. Raptors?

[CitySushi]

Warriors' Andrew Bogut might play Monday at Toronto - San Jose Mercury News

According to MT2, Bogut will test out the ankle in pregame warmups and if he feels good, he's going to try to give it a shot. I expect to see him get limited minutes but just having him out on the court will be a very encouraging sign.

Nice! 5-8 minutes every game til the ASB to ease back into things would definitely help the Dubs and Bogut.

Bogut is taking Jeremy Tyler's position on the active roster, per Rusty Simmons. Signs point to him playing tonight.

Bogut will start tonight.

Now that he's officially back, I'm sure he'll be on a minutes limit. What are reasonable expectations of him with the minutes limit and when he's fully back to playing starters minutes?

 

[clyde_carbon]

I don't see him playing more than 10 minutes.

Already played 6 minutes and change and has 4 points 2 boards and 1 assist. Looks like he's moving pretty well. I'm sure his conditioning will kick in soon and he'll need a rest.

Bogut, as expected by most of us, is significantly improving the interior defense of this team.

Tremendous defensive effort thus far.

I know it was only against the Raptors, but he was fantastic. I really think its smart to come back when he has, he'll get some real speed time on his ankle, then he'll get the all star break to rest/strengthen back up. Then we'll be ready for this playoff run.


This is going to be a very good team, you guys watch and enjoy.

We've waited long enough, now, THEY'RE HEEERE!!!

Thrilled to see him back. When things were clicking, he made everyone better. There was was play late in the game where Bogut was double teamed. He kicked it out to Jack, and two passes later Thompson hit a wide open three.

23 minutes and 4 blocks. Very nice.

Good News: Bogut played much better than expected; great that he's back!

bad News: Curry's fucking ankle!

Interesting thing about that. As Bogut helped in the first half, Avi seemed to regress on defense and become the 2011 turn style. However, he tightened up in the second half. He probably needs some time to adjust to
Bogut defensively.
