    BNM's keys to tonight's game:

    1) TOVs.

    In the first two games of the season:

    GSW:
    TOV = 42
    OPP TOV = 48

    POR:
    TOV = 20
    OPP TOV = 23

    So, the Warriors force over twice as many turnovers as the Blazers, but they also commit over twice as many. The Warriors play fast and loose. If the Blazers can take care of the ball, and take advantage of the Warriors sloppy play, it could be the difference in the game. The two teams are so equally matched in most other areas.

    2) Fouls and FT shooting of the Bigs

    Bogut, Ezeli and Nedovic are all foul prone. So far this season:

    Bogut PF/36 = 6.0
    Ezili PF/36 = 13.7
    Nedovic PF/36 = 24.0

    Combine the propensity of their big men to commit fouls, with the fact that Aldridge, Lopez and Kaman are all above average FT shooters and this could be another advantage for the Blazers.

    it seems to me he does it once in the beginning of the game, then never again for the rest of the game.

    How come they don't use screens to get damian open looks at a 3 like GS just did with Curry. When the Blazers do it, he gives it up to LA for the long 2 pt shot. STUPID!

    Really though. It isn't even because Dame just flat out sucks thus far to start the season, but Curry is such a deadly shooter. Great player.
