    This game thread for a game starting 13 hours from now is on Page 3. I'm bringing it back to the top of Page 1 so people can find it.

    HCP will have to start threads a week in advance to beat Darkwebs.

    Even if Dame plays, the only spot we have a clear advantage is at Center? That's a bit depressing.

    Curry > Dame - We can all love our player but that that is just the way it is for now.
    Thompson > CJ - This one is close but Thompson plays defense.
    Durant > Harkless - Next
    Green > Aminu - Chief needs to 'kick' it up several notches.
    Plumlee > Zaza - We Win!!!!

    Then there is Ian Clark who in the last 2 games is shooting some ridiculous 85% against the Blazers. He has no respect for the Blazer 'D'. Wait....

    Hopefully this is at least like last year where we were competitive instead of this year where it's Portland has pretty much been boat raced from the opening tip.

    We need to look better for this one, embrace the challenge, don't be intimitated. We have good match ups with them, need to at least be competitive (assuming Dame is healthy and playing)

    No benefit to playing him tonight - odds of winning in Oracle even with him are low. Might as well make sure he's ready for tomorrow's game - one that should be a victory.

    When playing the Warriors it's always good to have quality heckling on the bench now the Monetero is gone....Dame needs to step up his smack talk game tonight!

    This game can be two things. Very bad for your eyes and terrible. Or a "wow we are actually in this"

    I'd consider this game a success if we keep the final score within 15 points. After losing by 45 last time we were in the Bay, I just hope we don't get embarrassed tonight on National Television.

    He'll probably play because it's his hometown - but he shouldnt.
