Twist yo fingers! Golden State in Duckland... 7:00PM FSN 1/9
Some of you are in Gangs... and feel the urge to twist your fingers...
Whether you're looking for directions to buy some marshmallows and ginger ale
Representing P.C.'z (death to Mac's!)
Or SCi-Tolopimpagy
And of course... if you're a blogger
If you got the urge to twist yo fingers... can I get an Ahem?!?!?
THANK YOU
Tonite's matchup is like that of the Hotlanta Hawks of the West; young roadrunners.
Let's get into the starting lineups:
At SF
Martell Webster
At PF
Travis Outlaw
At SG
(do kids even know what an etch n sketch is now?)
At C
Lamarcus Alderidge
I personally prefer to sign on a female..
Like this guy
but she still ugly
At PG... Mr. O.P.P.
Jarret Jack
(Note: Pryz and Blake supposedly start... but these guys torch us)
Versus:
The Law...
At C-PF-SF-SG-PG
Biedrins-Pietrus-Jackson-Monta-Baron
Bottom
guy
CJ Watson
Al Harrington
Keys to the game:
-Portland swings A LOT; play zone
-Deny the block
-Clog the middle
Space floor on offense and pick guys apart one by one (avoid their help D)
Odds... like last time... coming soon

Good luck tonight ....sort of.
Roy has said he is going to give it a go, but then again he did that against the Jazz and only played 9 minutes.
And I agree, please play zone. Portland is one of the best perimeter shooting teams in the league.
Tonights matchup will be tough. GS is a really good team. Like I said good luck the rest of the way, just maybe not against us.

I think the Warriors realize this is a must win for them. I think that they need to establish dominance over Portland or else their playoff chances will be taking a big hit. Also, I believe Baron will be "gunning" for Roy (in a sense) as he continues his all star and MVP push. Portland is a big threat to the Warriors right now for playoff position (they're ahead of us (someone needs to "put them in their place" so to speak) and Roy is a big threat to Baron (in terms of where on the point guard list he belongs). If Roy's hurt, watch for Baron's killer instinct. If we lose a second time to Portland beats them again (the first time we can use the excuse that we were "surprised") then we've got problems as making the playoffs again will become that much harder.

wow... when did portland fans get this cocky? Someone stop the season and give these dipshats the damm trophy already?
Anyhow... YES. Zone normally would get killed against a perimeter team, but there is no way to close out in man against this team; ball moves too well and too quick.
Last time, it was pick n roll to death.
Who's played zone against Portland?

About the 11th win of our 13 game win streak. Or maybe around the time we had won 20 games a third of the way through a season when alot of people predicted we wouldnt crack 30. I think we have a right to be a bit cocky right now until someone puts us in our place.
Looking forward to a great game tonight. S.Jax was on our local radio show today and I have totally changed my opinion on him. Used to think he was a bad dude. But he was really accountable for his mistakes and overall intelligent and well spoken. Heres to HOU and UTAH not making the playoffs and us meeting up in the second round.

i love watching Travis Outlaw...hes going to be a star one day
Portland plays hard for 48 mpg. Portland will outrebound us tonight as well. Hopefully Martell doesnt go off and score 24 points in a quarter against us tonight.

One thing that is different from the last game is that we have Monta this game. We sorely missed him last trip up to Portland.
I guess there are two things that are different because we didn't have LaMarcus Aldridge in the first game.

Touche', but you won, so I can use that as an excuse.
I'd love to see Monta on Roy. Martell and Outlaw are gonna kill us this game. We do very bad against fast, lanky teams.

As a Portland fan I can tell you the way to beat our starting line-up is to send a 3rd man in to break-up the high-post pick and roll between Roy and Aldridge. Either can get past, or shoot over their oponent in a 1 on 1 situation with motion. Przybilla is the weak link offensively.
Play the starters as much as you can because the Blazers bench has a tendency to make the difference in games. Travis Outlaw especially has developed into a clutch player with several virtually unstopable moves in his arsenal. Deny him the ball and force him to move without the ball.
How does one beat the Warriors?
