Warriors (5-14) vs. Bobcats (4-13

Warriors Projected Starting Lineup

PG: Speedy Claxton
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Mike Dunleavy
PF: Troy Murphy
C: Cliff Robinson

Warriors Keys To Winning

If the Warriors can drive to the hoop and get fouled, this game could easily be in the hands of the Warriors. If Troy Murphy plays like himself and gets yet another double - double, this game is a blowout. Mike Dunleavy has been hot latley and hopefully play like that today. If the Warriors don't have an offensive and defensive drought like they often do in close games, this game will go to the Warriors.


Bobcats Projected Starting Lineup

PG: Brevin Knight
SG: Jason Hart
SF: Jason Kapono
PF: Emeka Okafor
C: Melvin Ely

Bobcats Keys To Winning

If the Bobcats can get points off Emeka Okafor and start off well in the 2nd half, this could be a close game. If the Bobcats can hold Mike Dunleavy, Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy, and Speedy Claxton under 10 points, then the Bobcats can win this game. If the Warriors have an offensive and defensive drouggt in the fourth quarter like they often do, the Bobcats should take advantage of that.


Predictions

The Warriors will win this one 105 to 96. Troy Murphy will have a big night going to the basket and getting fouled. The Warriors will have an offensive and defensive drought, but the Bobcats will not be able to use it coming back from a 25 point defiecit.

Player Of Game

Troy Murphy 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists.

 

Thanks for doing a game thread, good job.

This is one the Warriors have to win. They are a better team than the bobcats. If they let the cats keep it close till the end than it could end in yet another Warriors loss.

Then we will really feel depressed . BTW Thank you I used Warriors and Bobcat.com for this.

 

The Warriors need to pull this one out. They have played pretty well in the last couple game (except for the 4th) and if they can find ways to score in the 4th quarter, then the W's should come out of this one with a W.

 

Good job on the preview. I hope we win, but I hope Murphy has a terrible game due to that injured thumb or Okafor covering him heavily. I went up 3 against Wtwalker in our JBB fantasy league but now I'm down one with my hopes resting on Brevin Knight and Cuttino Mobley for points and asissts . So I hope Walker's Grant Hill and Troy Murphy are no shows and my players play well so I can pull out in a 5-4 victory

BTW I think Jrich will have a great game as he seems to always do when he's playing smaller 2 guards. Dunleavy will continue to play well as long as he isn't testing out his jumper. Watch those 4th quarters. I totally believe the Warriors could screw up a 20 point lead with 3 minutes left.

 

I think hte warriors will win for once. I've been really pessimistic about the team this season, but due to their recent play, being at home and playing the bobcats I think they can win.

Also I hope Dunleavy continues his good play. I hope he proves me wrong. I still think he is a bust.

Thats the spirit!

 

Warriors not playing as well as I thought they would. I jut checked the box score. At least they are close. Can someone tell me how they are doing.

 

Wow they just took the lead. 66-64.

Thank you.

 

Where's Derek Fisher?

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Real Deal:</div><div class="quote_post">Where's Derek Fisher?</div>

Injured. Sprained knee. It's good because Fisher is a momentum stopper, we get to see Luis Flores, Dunleavy takes over back up PG which gives more playing time to Mickael Pietrus

 

Well the warriors won. Cliff Robinson was hot tonight. The defense was a little better in the second half, but it was obvious the warriors really struggle when Claxton is not in the game. Dunleavy had a nice play finishing in traffic and one with a dunk, Troy Murphy had a nice running dunk, Jrich had some cool dunks, Pietrus had a nice dunk and a cool underhand 3 pointer that did not count because he was fouled before the shot. Claxton was just unstoppable. The warriors play really well when they have players that want to drive the ball because we can't shoot the ball very well.

Man you just ruined it for me. I have Tivo. Right now there is 10 mins 17 seconds left in the fourth.

 

Good to see Dunleavy at least playing well as of late.
I'm impressed that he rebounded and had some assists, a block, and a steal.

Too bad we cant resign speedy for next season since we already paid fisher that much

Trade him

who? fisher or claxton?

 

Great game. 19 points for Cliffy. Thats just great. Nice way to finish. I loved JR's dunk when he ahd stayed back and just took his fustration out on the rim

We need some inside presence badly. It showed. Murphy has no interior skills besides rebounding. Horrible! Claxton was awesome, AWESOME! I'd still like for us to draft a PG to replace Fisher and one day be a stud. If only speedy could shoot.

I'm glad we won but we were lucky.

He can but doesn't shoot often which is why he is a bit rusty
