Bogut will probably shut down Al, then we will drown in 3pters

sounds about right.

I actually do believe that they could win it all if they get their **** together a bit (limit the turnovers and put out an offense with an OffRTG that these guys should have; have guys like Iggy and Lee play to the best of their abilities).

they're 16th/17th in offensive efficiency. that's absolutely crazy!!! there's no freaking reason for the Memphis Grizzlies to be tied with them in OffRTG.

We could use MKG's defense for this one. Kemba and Lance are going to have their work cut out for them defending Curry and Klay and trying to score at a decent clip at the same time.

I had box seats for that Warriors game in the 7 win season through my mom's work, haha. If I remember correctly the Warriors were sitting Steph Curry and a bunch of other guys so the Bobcats cruised to an easy win. Crowd was actually decent, I think a lot of folks came for Steph but it didn't work out. That was a good night, free beer/soda + Bojangles in the sky box. They lock the beer fridge up at the end of the 3rd though, so no raiding it at the last minute :(

Really hoping for another great team performance. I want to see the execution we had at the end of the 4th carry over into this game. We just have to move the ball, not lock into Alfense at all costs, and play disciplined defense. Oh, and hope the Splash Bros don't destroy us because we keep inexplicably going under screens.

Oh, why yes, I remember this game vividly. This is the game in which Kemba defended Monta Ellis well, but many unconsciously gave Henderson the credit instead

If Steph and or Klay have a poor shooting day i think we can win, but we need to get the offense flowing early they have a really good defense and Bogut can take Al 1v1

Our training staff must suck. Every other day someones questionable or out with some small ailment.

I think we win this game comfortably. We match up with them pretty well, and Curry is a turnover machine. He dang near averages close to 5 a game.
