    I think if we defend their key scorers well, and manage to shoot at above season average, especially our 3P% and FT%, we will win this game at home.

    They run a very dangerous two-prong PNR play in Curry and Thompson that I have no idea how the Rox could defend. I hope McHale and staff have already found a team solution.

    I also think we are going to at least split the four games against them. The key would be our defense. I believe good defense would naturally lead to great offense for our team.

    PS: I have not been able to watch any full Warriors game this season except highlights because of the blackouts on league pass. So I am basing my prediction on power rankings, recent game performance, styles of play, winning margins and strength of schedule for both teams. The Warriors is a very different team than last year.

    Lin uses up all his energy on defense, becomes turnover prone and Rockets become obsolete on offense. Nothing new...

    Cannot afford to lose, time to beat at least one opponent that is above us.

    Nah. He didn't twist it at all. It's just an excuse to leave early to join the party.

    1. to piss off LOF fans
    2. Yes, I do think his free safety defense is playing with fire and will burn him big in this game.

    This is going to be a really fun game. GSW is a really exciting team. Rockets will likely loose. Can't even be mad as long as we play hard.
