Keys to Victory

Move the ball, play defense, and attack the rim relentlessly

Notes:

Boozer/Kirilenko/Raul Lopez out for season

 

no Kiri,no Boozer, good chance for Shika to get major minutes

 

It's too bad Skita is a unrestricted free agent. I think he could be really good one day. I wouldn't be suprised if he was some other team's franchise player.... but he could be Dan Langhi with some guard skills.

 

I'm kind of worried about this game. I know that Boozer and Kirelenko are out, but if there is one team that is very methodical is the Jazz.Tthey will pick and roll you to death. The Warriors are going to have to control the boards in order to win this one. We have to get great games from our bigs to control the paint.

I think we can easily win. Who's Jarron Collins? I personally think the Warriors big men will crush the Jazz's scrubs down low and we have Baron, J-Rich, Pietrus who I think will get 55+ combined points together tonight. I really have no worries about losing this one

Got a point there. But Baron I don't think will be very happy about losing this he will blow up 36 points

 

We should win this game and end the losing streak in Utah. Hopefully we don't look ahead of these guys. Even though they are banged up and don't look good, they played Denver really tough their last game.

Still we should win

 

I also am worried about this game. The jazz at home always have the warriors number it seems. Plus I see the team being alittle lazy to start the game.

nah man this starting lineup just plain sucks. We should be aggressive from the start and blow these guys out. Nothing Sloan can do can stop that. Kirilenko makes a huge diff.

 

That may be one of the weakest starting 5s I've ever seen. (From a non-epansion team) You gotta feel sory for Sloan. He's an amazing coach, stuck with a team with a s load of injuries.

 

All I know is that Raja Bell always smokes the Warriors. So hopefully, JRich can step up this game and dominate him. Hapring can also light up a team.

This is another test for the W's. Winning at the Delta Center is always hard, but this team seems to be passing small tests each and every night. Let's hope the W's can pull out a victory for their 5th in a row, the first time since 1971, and also get a win at a place they haven't won at in 11 years.

 

This should be a good game. Either team can win but the Warriors should definately pull this one out against a struggling and injury plagued Jazz team.

kind of a ragged start-too much perimeter for the W's,but it's early.

 

1st Quarter Analysis

Jazz 29
Warriors 25

Top Performers:
UTAH: Harpring 9 points, 2 rebounds
GSW: Fisher 9 points, 1 rebound

Way too many fouls. Refs are awful. 19 fouls in that 1st quarter.

Utah isn't shooting well, but are making their free throws. Warriors are shooting well but aren't making their free throws.

 

What a horribly boring start to a game
