Both teams on B2B. We're similar teams, I think the x-factor in this game will be if anyone on our team is capable of even slowing down Klay Thompson and the Kieff vs Green matchup and Barbosa vs Livingston.

Nice, so Noah's constant moving screens are followed up by Bogut's and DGreen's? Yawn.

Ok, new game: you have to take a shot everytime Draymond Green or Bogut does an illegal screen and doesn't get called for it. I'm betting on you being drunk by mid second quarter, if not sooner.

if i'm GS, i'm sitting Curry and Bogut. They dont want OKC as the 8 seed IMO.

LMAO!!!

I totally agree. They should bench everyone and give Justin Holiday, Festus Ezeli and Ognjen Kuzmuc 35 minutes a game!!! HUGE disrespect if they did it.

Id rather play the Pelicans than OKC or PHX

This game must feel so awkward for Steve Kerr. He was trying so hard to land Steph Curry for the opposing team, Suns, just 6 years ago.

Exactly so then they gotta make sure they beat the Suns then so PHX slips in the standings while NOP comes up.

Looks like Gerald will be getting a lot of minutes this game

yeah but then OKC also comes up.

I think they would rather play the Pelicans and Suns FAR more than the Thunder. So they should be OK with giving the Suns the win in order to knock down OKC as much as possible.

This game reminds me of the one against Indiana last year when they still had the best record in the league and we beat them on the 4th game of 5 nights on the road.

We're a nightmare matchup for Indiana because of how we play. The Warriors play just like us, except they play defense and rebound way, way better.

Very true, I wasn't comparing the teams per say more so their positions at the top of the league and how it was around the same time of the year it just reminded me of it. Idk I think the players will either come to play tonight and sneak it from them or give up early

looking back at our earlier win against the Warriors, I wonder if Jeff sat Gerald Green because he wants to unleash him this game just like last game?

BurningHeart · Post #18 » by **BurningHeart** » Sun Feb 1, 2015 2:22 am

Green. Ugh. Here's hoping he doesn't go 2-13 tonight.

Hate the late starts!

Really hoping to see a 14/14 type breakout game from Alex soon. For all the love and hope he gets from the fans - scrubs like Whiteside are statistically outplaying Len by a large margin
