Well we should just notch this as a win and look forward to our road trip. It's gonna be tough.

Yep, this is fairly an easy game might as well rest Knight & Tucker for Sundays showdown against the Raptors.

I predict we lose by 30. Thoughts?

For some reason I think we win, in reality we'll probably get wrecked, but I think we catch them off guard. It feels like it's normally the average team that gets overlooked, but matches up well, that breaks these kinds of steaks.

Going to see a lot of Price and Leuer/Teletovic me thinks...

I don't think we can win by that many.

We will sweep the Warriors and get swept by the Sixers.

I actually think we will give them a good run.

Funny thing is this year is a little different than some of the past years. We have only lost to one non playoff team from last year, and I think there is a good chance they make it this year, but we've only beat one playoff team from last year.

It just sucks that our guards have been banged up our out and Tyson was out. When our three best players are hobbled, it's tough. We are about where I thought we'd be. I really wish we could have taken care of the last game though. It's just too bad Tyson was out and Bledsoe played like crap, going 5-16.

Well Bledsoe is the perfect guy to put on Curry IF he was healthy, and Tyson to battle Bogut for boards, but when they go small it is very tough to matchup, even though we have a decent small ball lineup. I'm just not sure who guards Draymond if he is playing center. Our centers are too slow. PJ would be good, but do you play PJ at center? It would be interesting to see something like

Bledsoe/Knight/Booker/Warren/Tucker go against Curry/Thompson/Iguodala/Barnes/Green

We have some good individual defenders but against that lineup you'r going to be exploited somewhere either due to speed (if we go with experience) or experience (if we go with Booker/Warren).

Though I do think our rebounding wouldn't be THAT bad with Warren and Tucker at the 4/5 against that Warriors lineup. Our offensive rebounding would probably be good.

I think you probably have to have Kieff or Tucker on Green when he is in there though.
