without Monk kings is a much better defensive team...we need to be careful , matching their defense and intensity....But i think Kerr will play small and all offensive lineup...could be ugly really quickly

Since the monk injury, the king have had the 5th best defense and the 2nd highest amount of 3 pta frequency, although they aren't making as many as they'd like. And play at the second slowest pace.

Brown has those boys defending though.

Why? As long as it's not scott foster and his bloodfeud with a certain PG we have, I wouldn't notice the refs. They all hate curry, do these 3 hate him more than the rest?

Ellis and Mitchell are both teriffic defenders. Keon Ellis was on All-Defensive team in college & Mitchell got a few DPOY awards in college too. Fox leads the league in steals. They're handsy! Wish we had GP2 to guard Fox for certain durations.

Kerr needs to be on the refs early and often on grabbing Steph off ball. Get a couple of those calls quickly to keep Ellis off of him. That guy fouls non-stop.

Monk was their 2nd best player vs the Warriors last postseason. Sure they're better defensively, but they're overall better with him than without.

After last season's playoffs the atmosphere is gonna be pretty electric! Draymond is gonna eat up all the boos raining down on him.

Sabonis better not try any cheap shots in this one.

The key to this game for mine is the defensive impact of Wiggins, Kuminga and Green. If we can get their main guys off their spots, make it really difficult to got their shots up, we can get out and run a lot and push the pace which will render Sabonis useless on defence. Specifically Wiggins though, I want to see him give Fox and Murray a real ball ache of a time today.

Well, if they can't beat the Kings tonight...the era should end.

Hope Klay has a big game, and Harrison Barnes doesn't. If the younger splash bro isn't hitting his shots this might be his last go round on the Warriors.

Pelicans can't make a shot without small defenders in front of them, they are struggling.

If only Kerr would take some lessons from green. Play the guys who play defense and if your big money guys aren’t you can ride the defense. You don’t need to ride the big money guys.
