I'll take light-saber rattling squirrels on the money line over acorns.

Important game for tiebreakers and such... W's have trouble adapting when there's a competent big man in the middle, and Chandler's become a defensive monster...

We'll need to shoot well to pull this out, or make them run a lot... is Peja suiting up for this game? I really, really hope not...

lots of potential "Warrior killers" on the Hornets

I think this is the most critical game of this tough stretch. Warriors lose this and they can go lose three or four in a row with the Spurs and then Portland up coming.....

I would love to see the Warriors AGRESSIVELY trap Paul....instead of watching him do his slow deliberate run the offense stuff..... Baron is bigger and should beat Paul up in the post....

Go Warriors....THUMP the New Orleans baby!

Transition D will be Key....

The team doesn't have great defenders, and Tyson is good a help defender, but if you attack him he'll cry

To me this is the biggest game of the young season so far.

We will be fighting these guys down to the wire just like last year. We've had trouble with them in the past.

We need to get Chandler out of the lane. I'd love to have us go at him early and try to get some foul trouble out of it.

Paul and Baron always go at it hard. The key is to not let Paul score in the 30's.

Also Peja hasn't shot well against us for a very long time. It'd be nice if we punch him in the stomach early and get him afraid that Stephen might pull a gun on him. He'll cower in the corner and claim he has an ingrown toenail or bad gas.

David West kills us on the glass, so it's very important that we don't forget about him because we're focussing so hard on other things.

We have to establish the home court again. This game will be huge when we start measuring conference and head to head matchups.

I want us to demoralize them. Maybe do something that scares them a little. I want them to look at their claendars, circle our games, and then want to find an excuse on why they can't play that night.

Unfortunately this is likely to be a game where Paul is constantly breaking the Warriors down and then guys like Chandler and West are KILLING us on the boards.

Jackson should be able to get any shot he wants against Peja. I think Nellie takes advantage of that matchup.

Big game. This is up there with Laker games. We need to win the season series, or at least hold the tiebreaker, against both the Lakers and the Hornets to keep the playoff dream alive.

Key to the game: Hornet turnovers.

Did you label them acorns because of some of their heads?

It's not an important game...It only would be important if our young talented *bigs* got the oppurtunity to play, or in AB15's case, the oppurtunity to be part of the offense.

as a hornet fan, i don't see how we can win this.

i have a better feeling about the phoenix game the night after than this game. the suns fans in no way can compare to the warrior fans, and it'll probably be a close game, but because of that, the fans in the fourth quarter will just take the hornets out.

that and the starters will be forced to play 40 plus minutes, because our bench is probably the worst bench in the league offensively. and frankly, its touch and go as to whether peja or mo have good games.

peja was air balling threes like I've never seen him before against the clippers. like literally, hitting the top of the backboard!

DWest will have a monster game though!

I get the metaphor now...even blind squirrels can find acorns sometimes???

Acorns....

becuz Chris Paul is a lil nut.
No really... because Rabbits have been sucking. I didn't want to do Rabbits vs. Cats, because if there is a gang war, Cats can call lions and then we'd get our butts kicked. I figured Acorns cannot defend themselves.

Peja airballed against the Clippers? He's going to have a career night
against our super defense....
