tough one. may not have curry, and gasol is back.

[steveweve]

First game we have Bogut playing the Lakeshow. As a Warrior fan it's an honor to watch Bogut play defense in the paint, we wont be seeing D12 & Pau throwing down all night, like we usually do. Curry will be fine, everytime this kid goes down he seems to take it personal, Nash will have his hands full.. Thompson & Kobe will be a great matchup, Kobe will get his points.. But the X factor for the Warriors is Harrison Barnes, Barnes has made a dramatic improvement on offense and can contain MWP defensively. As for DLee and Gasoft, Lee will get his double double, abusing Gasoft all game, simply because Lee is playing like an All-star and Gasol isn't even in shape. If the Dubs offense is clicking Monday night, i see the us taking the game. 108-103 Warriors.

If Pau didn't come back Metta would have had to guard David Lee. That would have been awesome.

[MackShock]

dubs up!

[likemystylez]

If Pau didn't come back Metta would have had to guard David Lee. That would have been awesome.

david lee hasnt been as aggressive offensively lately anyways. It might be because curry has been shooting so well. Im actually concerned with carl landry. It looks like he wants to be a jump shooter. He use to work the baseline a lot more and get and one opportunitys. Now hes always catching the ball 18 feet away and facing up. hes a decent jump shooter- but I like him on the offensive glass. I dont know if its because bogut takes too much space, but even when he is in there with lee.... he is playing differently.

I think part of the reason is because in the post he turns it over 20 percent of the time. Most in the league in the post.

[likemystylez]

maybe he doesnt have to post up over and over... but just work on the weakside to try and get opportunity baskets. rather than face ups where he has to create the whole play off the dribble by himself.

[likemystylez]

I think part of the reason is because in the post he turns it over 20 percent of the time. Most in the league in the post.

also the warriors as a team make atleast 4 or 5 completely unforced turnovers every game. Those bother me more than a turn over carl landry makes down low. (if the alternative is landry's production dropping drastically)

[likemystylez]

spurs are playing like the warriors.... and we need them to beat houston. Tons of unforced turnovers.... and they are wasting the shot clock on every posession.

[Leandres_sf]

I think Curry will play and the Dubs will win.

[Guppyfighter]

I want to beat the Lakers to stay in the sixth spot. I dare say, must win?

[likemystylez]

I want to beat the Lakers to stay in the sixth spot. I dare say, must win?

rockets beat the spurs tonight. That makes me rethink their tough schedule. if they can take the spurs- with tony parker on his A game, Indiana, OKC and Memphis arent sure losses for them either.

On a side note- the spurs looked really bad except parker. I dont know how that group of players has played so well. Duncan is sooooo slow.

[likemystylez]

I wonder what the spread is going to look like for this game

[GSP]

We will win tonite .. with or without Curry .. The Warriors are a better team they need to believe in themselves ... Go Warriors !!!

[COOLbeans]

Win and it'll be convincing

[SugeKnight]

Dubs up

[MackShock]

You betchurazz dubs up..

[TrueFan420]

I want this win so bad

[MackShock]

Stay tuned

[likemystylez]

Stay tuned

warriors need to attack steve nash and steve blake. Hopefully landry and jack can give us something off the bench. I think our bench and our pg match ups can win us this game.... but landrys gotta have a bit of a break out game.

Good news- a few yrs ago, Both jack and Landry had a very good series against the lakers. (a better lakers team than this) landry and jack are not intiminated by the lakers at all.


What I fear- this game could look like the bulls game. Lakers come out with a lot of energy in the first 5 minutes and the warriors basically stop trying. Bulls were coming off a loss in sacramento- lakers are coming off a loss at home against the wizards.

[MackShock]

great 1st quarter. great d by thompson

[MackShock]

jack!

[MackShock]

barnes!

[MackShock]

barnes and 1!

[MackShock]

good D by lakers but they throw it away

[MackShock]

mark jackson is a BOSS. using a timeout to yell at the official lol

[MackShock]

more hops than a 12 pack? you want a show? then you gotta rehearse.

[bgdreton]

You guys think beans is going to play again this year? Or does he have a season ending injury of riding the bench.... Lol at least he is collecting that 11 million

[MackShock]

kobe mugging ref for a foul call lol. crybaby

[MackShock]

You guys think beans is going to play again this year? Or does he have a season ending injury of riding the bench.... Lol at least he is collecting that 11 million

steveweve is trolling lakers GT HARD

[MackShock]

wtf at steveweve..just makes dubs fans look bad

[MackShock]

for the lakers fans reading...dont worry..we dont really talk smack about opponents in GT's.

[bigmac8675]

Wow what a first half! Warriors are just rolling! Looks like we are showing the Lakers why they don't belong in the playoffs. Whoooooooooooo!

Lol I have no idea what that was.

[bgdreton]

I'm sorry I don't think I have ever seen a player shoot so well of the dribble contested 3's like curry does time in time out. Only Kobe maybe but that's only when he has to. Curry human torch mode is in session!

[MackShock]

Wow what a first half! Warriors are just rolling! Looks like we are showing the Lakers why they don't belong in the playoffs. Whoooooooooooo!

Lol I have no idea what that was.

yeah its surreal lol. but uhhh...the lakers might come back. so we cant say anything.

[MackShock]

whenever we beat a team, their fans always comment on how weve sucked for so long..

[MackShock]

weve never finished a half or quarter like that. amazing.

[MackShock]

still in shock...no pun intended

[MackShock]

watch out for the lakers run..cuz its coming. guaranteed.

[steveweve]

Wasn't planning on trolling the Lakers forum at all, stated my own opinion and all of a sudden all these angry Lakers talk crap about our organization, how classy.

Barnes needed to get a better look than that.

[steveweve]

Great play by Lee!! He got double teamed, knew someone was open, found Jack and he knocks down the jumper! Jack again!!!

[MackShock]

[Leandres_sf]

Nash ends up on the ground, why am I not surprised?

[MackShock]
