TJD and JK are both out with injuries. This will be the least athletic flavor of GSW.

Not confirmed. It's a game-time decision. But I'm guessing they will sit him out if he is having knee issues on a back to back on the road.

That will encourage Steve to roll out lots of those two the rest of the way. What could go wrong? :roll:

Outside of the Warriors blowing every opportunity, seems like all the teams around us have kept winning when needed. Especially the Mavs/Rockets/Lakers.

We pretty desperately need the rockets to lose to the thunder tonight.

Likewise it would be huge if we can get lucky and have Lakers lose to Grizz and/or Suns lose to Nuggets.

Kind of feel like the grizz have a shot since the lakers went to double ot

JK out means Wiggins going to the rack will be extremely necessary.. funny enough, JK is the new 22 Wiggins in that if he's out, there's no one that can replace him, which is something usually reserved for the big 3

I actually think Wiggins and TJD can replace JK's interior scoring, but we'll see tonight.

Can make a case for TJD being the rim threat, though Steve seems hesitant to play TJD and Draymond together despite some promising results.

Hopefully TJD starts in place of JK.

Drive threat, not rim threat. TJD can run a PnR fine, but he cant cause a quick collapse like JK can. With the way this team passes, thats kinda necessary.. they need wide open passing lanes

We match up well with Orlando player wise, however the nature of having an ageing team means B2B's aren't in our favour no matter who we play. Hopefully they pulled up OK after the Miami game and they can bring 75% of their best selves to this one.

As much as I like Wiggins, I don’t trust him to deliver offensively 2 games in a row these days. But boy would it be nice to see him drop 30 and have Steph hit some form.

I was thinking this might be an opportunity for Dray to hit the showers early. Double T. Predictable.
