I wonder what new way we're going to get screwed this game.

I feel like we are going to win this game easily. Ready to wake up at 5.30 am to watch it live.

Well they have players that if they get hot can win the game by themselves, it hasn't been the case most of the games this year, but can happen.
I hope we win this one and keep the +500

warriors have found the offense a bit more but still aren't where they used to be defensively. we have to exploit that. win by 20 and the refs can't screw us.

Unlike New Orleans (Jrue/Zion injures) we have some dominant offensive guys that should be able to score at will... if we had Ayton I would feel like this is a easy win.

Carter/Rubio/Tyler will make life hard on DLo/Curry.

I see a close loss here. I think the Warriors are starting to figure out the formula to be competitive. They just straight up wasn't ready for the Clippers in their first game and they just didn't have it in the 2nd game against the Thunder. They looked much better against Pels (which isn't particularly difficult) but I think it's the kind of confidence boosting win they needed.
We're going to keep it gritty, we're going to keep it close but I do think FTA's will once again play a factor and it's going to come down to the wire

I think Dray and Klay and maybe even D Lo have big games (though probably not all 3 and less likely so for D Lo) but their depth sucks. Now if Looney, WCS, etc, are healthy, that helps, but I still think we are going to be very very hungry for this win and without their depth and our second unit being strong (would BE really strong if Ayton didn't fail a drug test)....I think we should win this one. I don't expect it to be nearly as tough as the others.

If we can’t beat the next two those 78 will be tough.

If we don't do well those final 75 games, then we probably will not have done well these next two games.

Am I doing this right?

Outside of their "big 3" they are rubbish but I just see FTA being a factor again. They were the NBA darling and they could still get the benefit of the doubt. It might take 20 or so games before we prove ourselves to the NBA/refs that our defense is legit.

Unlike the Jazz & Nuggets & even the Clippers the Warriors just aren’t very tough besides Draymond Green. Our guards should make life very hard for DLo and Curry. We really don’t have to worry about anyone else, I can’t even name the rest of their roster or how long they been in the league. If Looney / WCS are back things could be tougher but I think this could be our statement game where the league really recognizes us.
However I am worried about the fouls again. I could see us pulling away and then the refs calling back to back to back fouls again to ruin any momentum we have. Need to be touching Curry/DLo at all times if they don’t have the ball. They shouldn’t have any separation from our defense. Give Draymond space, don’t let him be a playmaker, sag off him and let him shoot, if we lose because Draymond scores 30 with 3-4 threes or something like that I’m fine with it. Let the Warriors scrubs beat us, except Chriss. I hope Baynes sets a hard screen on Chriss and we see him cry.

Curry is very good at getting open and creating shots and can hit off the dribble from anywhere, but obviously tougher without Klay and Durant to open up the floor. He could be a problem but DLo doesn't worry me.
Omari Spellman playing better too. Looney is pretty tough if healthy. WCS isn't that good in my book.

Yes, I sure did. Klay probably won't have a very good game.

Not quite, we should have 76 more barring an earthquake in Surprise, AZ, though it would be rescheduled.
We should only get better barring significant injuries (though so will other teams once they adjust to the vastly improved teams and get used to any changes they might have had). I don't think we will be a pushover for anyone unless we have awful shooting nights and another team is on fire, which will inevitably happen on occasion.
Though I imagine you are joking.

This should be an easy W if the team keeps the energy and effort. Jevon and Mikal can slow down Curry and Russell a little bit. Warriors defence is atrocious, i expect big games from Booker and Oubre, Warriors wing depth is pretty much G-league level.
