    Im confused, im in Melbourne Australia and generally speaking we are a day ahead of America. So the game is 5.30am local time here, but the NBA just updated their status on Facebook saying the playoffs start tomorrow (wtf?!). And because the game is so early here and San Francisco is essentially the western most city of America, they aren't that far behind our time. So basically, when is the game?! I am tripping out.

    Damn. Ariza is the Warriors worst nightmare. This is what Morey meant when he said nobody wants to face us in the playoffs.

    Ariza is Curry and Thompson's worst nightmare.

    I truly hate ESPN. Some hack just said the only way we win a game is if the Warriors get bored.

    I hope the Rockets are using all of this as motivation, especially Harden.

    If Rockets win - the notion will not be how the Rocket's overcame history, but how the Warriors must have done something wrong.

    :rolleyes:

    I just hope for JBB to grow some balls overnight, realize that this is his onnly chance in years to become a Head Coach full time and come out swinging with everything we have. Traps, zones, videos to the league with the moving screens, damn, I want that guy to try super small with beasley at the center, with the twin towers.

    Please, just watch some of the plays Stan used back in Orlando to position Dwight deep in the paint with a 4 at the top of the key (Beasley, Smith, Dmo) who can pass, shoot or go into the line 2vs1. That is the real deal and we have the roster to do it

    There is a high chance that we lose, we need to play high variance game.

    I also hope Harden realizes this is his chance for redemption. Public perception affects a guy receiving 200M from a sponsor, and national perception of his season is bad.

    I hope Dwight realizes this is his casting for the contract he wants. And gives everything he needs.

    I always thought Schumann looked kind of like Linda Blair... She's got a nice healthy body though.

    Beverley has to stop crashing the boards for offensive rebounds and rush back to defense every time. He needs to stay in front of Curry 100% of the time. Curry is so good in transition 3s.
