We need to murder them. And face the Warriors asap. The only chance we have against Golden State is to steal a win down there before Curry comes back. The Moda Center better be raucous and drive our guys to a quick ass kicking of the Clipps.
Relax. We will win this game. Enjoy the ride. You will end up livid at the number of moving pics GS makes. The refs won't let us win unless we can show we're WAY, WAY better than Curry-less GS. Even if we are actually better (up for debate), we're not WAY, WAY better. We will lose. Hopefully, we'll win a game or 2. Enjoy the ride, for tomorrow the talk will be about draft picks we don't have and about free agents we won't sign.
I expect us to win every home game until the fat lady sings...if we steal a road win against GS...I'll be thrilled
I know that we should win this game, but I feel like people are already looking past the Clippers to the Warriors, and I hope to god the team isn't doing that as well.
Exactly what I'm thinking. 10 point favorites in a closeout game at home . . . nobody thought this could happen. If we stay in the moment and play with desperation like we have been, we should be OK. We're a young team though, and not used to being heavy favorites. It's true, we should win tonight and wrap this series up on paper. It would now be considered an epic failure if we didn't. That is a concern, but we can erase all doubt if we step on their throats early. Get a big lead, the crowd will go nuts, and the Clippers will fold their tents up. Just don't let them hang around and get the sense we're battling nerves.
Understandable, and normally I'd agree. But we just played a terrible game and won by double digits. I don't think we'll play worse. Of course, the Clips could play better...
We need to win this game so we can get back to being the underdogs. If we advance, NOBODY will think we can get past Golden State. Hell, most "experts" won't even think we'll win a game.
