Nice start, thanks.

Lee versus Millsap's the 1st big challenge. If Lee goes off, it'll be a long night. If Millsap can best Lee, we're in decent standing. 2nd challenge is Curry/Teague. Curry's hotter than a firecracker after the MIA game. Before that, he wasn't shooting all that well, just ballhogging. Teague can beat Curry off the dribble pretty much at will, so maybe he can run Curry out of breath. Korver's going to have a hard time being defended by Iguodala and Thompson.

We have no answer for Thompson. I suspect a that man's going to give us a long night.

GS is favored to win slightly.
I'm not expecting us to win this one but GS faced Miami last night so they possibly have jello legs.

Your going to need Korver to go off. More importantly you need 3 point defense.

Your damned if you do, and your damned if you don't. Seems to be the premise of tonight's game. If you go under the screen Curry shoots the 3, if you go over the screen then he is gone, with pick and roll 2 on 1.

I think Bogut will do us in tonight: our main weakness is down low, and other teams know that. If we contain their 3 point shooting, they'll beat us down low and especially on the offensive boards. I think we'll lose to this hot warriors team tonight, but I hope I'm wrong.

Bogut's their worst offensive player. I HOPE he tries to go off on us.

Antic is at least holding his own. I don't think the word is out yet on Antic being a 3-pt threat. Hopefully the rookie will make it through the end of the season before opposing teams start really trying to take that away from consistently...

Had to work. What'd I miss?

Curry goes crossover, crossover, crossover ... crowd says "oooooh!" ... then Curry just loses it out of bounds. No style points in the NBA.

If I thought we could get THIS from Antic every night....

We may be out manned but we play good basketball. This is a pleasure to watch. The passing is sweet - and Carroll is just about as good as Korver at moving without the ball, only he ends up open under the basket.

Warriors go small and we. should. go. inside. to. Paul. Millsap. Frustrating. Of course, the Warriors are playing badly, so we're not being punished but there're points we're leaving out there.

Really, David Lee's their Center and Harrison Barnes is their PF, defending Millsap, for goodness sakes.

I just tuned in and am pleasantly surprised by the score, we're holding it down at home.

parson · Post #15 » by **parson** » Sat Jan 4, 2014 2:13 am

REALLY bad basketball by the Warriors. I feel scared that we're only up by 8.

parson · Post #16 » by **parson** » Sat Jan 4, 2014 2:14 am

And we've only gone inside to Millsap one time since GS went small - and that was a pass from Brand, not our guards. Of course, Millsap dropped that pass, so ...

Wow, they're 3-20 from downtown. You can't consistently win in this league when you live and die by the 3. Couple that in with the fact that they have 17 turnovers and it's kinda disappointing that we only lead by 7.

Millsap's out of sorts, only trying outside shots.

Meanwhile, the refs are trying to kill us with fouls, giving them every flop. Warriors are missing them left and right.

Good grief, the refs aren't even trying to make a secret of their preference. Curry has a fence built around him a mile wide. On 2 consecutive possessions, gets trapped in the corner and jumps into Antic, who's standing with his arms up. Foul on Pero. Then, Curry loses the ball (plainly loses it at that) and thows his arms into Mack. Foul on Mack.

Short of it: 15 point lead is now 11.
