How will Anderson be used tonight?

He matches up terribly on defense against both Z-Bo and Gasol (and Koufos for that matter). I like the threat of his shooting on offense but it just hasn't been there this season aside from a few games. Will Monty have him in there with 7 minutes to go in the first quarter like he did last night?

I've been following the Anderson hate around here, and in the games I've been to, I just don't get it. Last night I really watched Anderson closely all night, and I still don't get it. He did get off to a slow start shooting, but he got hot pretty quickly and was crucial to keeping us in the game. When he was guarding Bogut one on one, the dude was working his arse off and you could see it in his face. He did have two bad plays late in the 4th, but right before that he hit back to back baskets that, again, were crucial. From what I've seen in person, he isn't even a guy I'd consider ditching - unless you're talking about a serious upgrade at the position in some blockbuster trade.
It seems like there's also a lot of Cole love and Reke hate, and of course I understand hero ball complex with Reke. But Reke sure can drive to the basket. Cole looks like a boy amongst men when he sees the paint. He just looks afraid in the lane and can't retreat quickly enough - unless he stays to miss a 10 ft. jumper, of course.
ETA: While I'm defending Anderson's effort, in the 4th when Asik was on the bench it seems like every Warriors basket was either a layup or a dunk. Though it looked like when Anderson was in he was playing more man on Bogut rather than patroling the paint.
