    I joke a lot, but I really cant see GSW losing two games to us... I think theyll come to play and win

    but Dame is hot, so I guess its possible

    I'm with you. I dread this upcoming game. However, I didn't see us winning against them before the all star break either. We just have to sit back and watch. And that is why sports are amazing! You never know.

    If ever there was a shot to win 2 games in a row against the Warriors, this is it. Two days rest while they are on the 2nd of a back-to-back after a late TV game the night before. You couldn't ask for much more to be in your favor except for injuries but I don't wish those on anyone.

    Nurk will need a big game. If he plays well we can win.

    All they have to do is feed the ball to Durant. The idea of Turner stopping him on Defense is utterly hilarious. Durant is going to eat Turner alive.

    The Rockets will finish with the best record. They're currently in the lead, and GS learned the hard way that spending
    too much energy in the regular season is shortsighted. They do want home court advantage, but it won't be their
    focus.

    People still question whether the Rockets can compete with GS, so they'll try to get the best record to prove to
    everyone that they can.

    Warriors are talking about running the table going into the playoffs. Time to spill some coffee into their laps.

    They'll be coming off a back to back. National TV game vs the Spurs and a late start to boot.

    We need to take advantage.

    Yeah we need Moe back, but not because he can do a better job on Durant. KD went for 50 last time. Aminu and Hark had the bulk of those duties.

    No one has the length to stop KD when he rises to shoot. You are probbaly better off defending him when the ball is on the floor. Although that does not work much either, but ET does have quick hands. (Although they need ET more on Klay)

    Both Turner/Durant and Aminu/Green are AWFUL situations for us.

    If quick hands (and feet) are the key, maybe we should just put Shabazz on KD.
