Im worrying about Yao getting tired too early. This is going to be a huge test for our transition defense. If we can not get back in transition we will struggle tomorrow.

I've been wanting to Post this, but I have always said nevermind.

I know this, it was a joke.. Hopefully Yao will find a way to still get his man pinned.

This is game not in our favor. The Warriors run an uptempo offense, and we have the tendency to lose against their kind.

Yeah, but it's not that fun when it isn't realtime. I'm not asking to do this permanently, I'm just asking you guys to try it for ONE game. Last game (Clippers), hardly anyone showed up, but then again the game thread was also 6 pages so I guess everyone was away from their PC. Can we just try it out?

I like the chat, because I personally think that we should use the game thread for serious analysis rather than making a bunch of rambling posts. And if I missed the game, I don't wanna read 100 posts like these (I'll admit that I also make these kind of posts):

Post 1: Why is Luther getting minutes?
Post 2: Yao Ming is soft.
Post 3: Artest needs to stop chucking.
Post 4: We suck.

Just my 2 cents.

Some people arent able to watch the game, and dont feel like watching the box score, so they read post like those and get an imagination of the game... This is just a theory by me, but I rather the game thread than the chat thing.

This matchup is no longer as scary as it used to be, because the Warriors no longer have Al Harrington, who Yao can't guard because he can shoot the trey. Now they have Biedrins, who plays inside, so Yao can handle him easily.

^Yup, you're right on target with that one. Harrington gave a lot of problems to Yao on both the defensive end, and the offensive end. He'd make him force a lot of turnovers, and he'd stretch the floor, which required Yao a lot of the time to move out of the paint; if he didn't, then he'd make him pay. Still though, lets hope Yao has a good game overall, he may have a ton of turnovers, which is never good.

Right on track with this one . Hope Yao destroy Biedrins .

That's what I do whenever I don't stay up for the night to watch the game .

Not so worried about that now that we have Battier back . He's our quaterback in defense .

We need to be patient with the warriors. The enjoy run and fun, true, so slowness will torment them so much that when we play it patient, their rhythm will rust rust rust, eventually we can blow them out. That is, if we do it good enough.

I expect both Luther and aaron to struggle , they have big guards and I don;t know if they can handle them , Artest gotta play big in the game.
