I never assume a W even after their 5 year run. The Nuggets have Jokic which gives them a punchers chance with or without Jamal and MPJ. I originally picked the Warriors in 6 games but I hope it ends in SF tonight.

Austin will take out one of Warriors, who will blow this one afterwards

The pressure is all on the Warriors to not blow this. Nuggets have nothing to lose, they'll come out swinging.

We are going small from the tip, a good sign that Kerr understands the pressure, and wants a better start.

Unleash the Curry.

Warriors are reportedly coming out with their death lineup to start the game. Going for the throat.

I voted for the Warriors in 6, so I'm standing with this.

Eh, I think it would definitely be better for them if they win, but they're just the better team, so I would expect them to be favored in the next two games even if they lose this one (assuming nothing happens injury-wise). I think it's a different situation from the 76ers/Raps series where the series always seemed more in the balance.

Looks like this one is ending tonight -- home crowd + lots of death lineup. Better luck next year Denver fans, injuries suck. Hope you guys come back 100% and we can enjoy the Nuggets more next year.

JN61 is a well known Warriors troll, respond or don't respond (my general choice) with that in mind.

Hopefully we can bounce back like you guys did.

Not sure I like starting out with Draymond at center. I get it but there's almost certain to be two quick fouls called on whoever is guarding Jokic and I'd rather that be Looney.

Andre "I want" Iguodala is out for the series. Probably not a big enough loss to matter though.

Nuggs will definitely come out strong, but Warriors have much better stamina. Nuggets better build a huge lead early in order to weather the storm. I see this one going down to the buzzer.
