Andris Biedrins' injury leaves Warriors short at center

The Warriors may be down two centers as Andris Biedrins, the starter, is questionable for today's game against the Los Angeles Clippers because of an ailing back.
"It's a little sore," Biedrins said Thursday. "Hopefully I will play, but we'll see (today)."
Biedrins' backup, Ronny Turiaf, missed Wednesday's game with a sprained left knee. He did not practice Thursday and is doubtful for today's game. So coach Don Nelson will turn to veteran Mikki Moore as the starting center if Biedrins or Turiaf can't play. The last time Moore started was last season with the Sacramento Kings, on Jan."‰6 at Chicago.
Anthony Randolph, whom Nelson said will serve as a backup center, won't start because the Clippers feature 7-foot, 265-pound Chris Kaman. Nelson has said he wants Randolph to play only against reserves.

Biedrins is a big puzzy, too bad he wasnt moved in the offseason. So many times last year he seemed to come up with these little injuries that kept him out late in games or he would miss a game when he looked fine the night before. If he plays like he is capable of, he was a bargain for the deal he signed, but I dont think he will ever realize his potential.
A game that seemed very winnable is now going to be a huge mountain to climb without both Turiaf and Andris. Mikki Moore is going to get beat up and with only AR backing him up, we are going to see lots of Jax and Maggs @ the PF spot.
Do I want to watch this game?
