Shock everyone who bandwagons the Warriors, tie for the 6 seed.

Maybe encourage tubs to start playing again?

Could we be flapping once more?!?!?

Would be such a huge and incredible win tonight if we could pull it off . Such a tall task though , I’m just not optimistic

Espn injury report shows Poole and draymond as doubtful. That could be huge for us

Where did you see that, TV or online? I saw several reports showing them as probable including this link from ESPN, but that's dated yesterday.

I just clicked on the game in the ESPN banner and scrolled down and it said they were doubtful

Won't matter much if Steph and Klay go off. That's what worries me.

Pels need to be prepared for a physical game. Warriors are desperate for a win also. They'll target BI, Herb, and TM3 to get them off their game and Herb particularly, into foul trouble.

I mean, but that’s always true with the Warriors. No reason to worry about things you can’t control

I like our chances with the way our Defense has been playing. It'll be close, but the Pels can squeak out a win.

Going to be an extremely difficult game for us. Dubs will do everything they can to expose Herb on offense, and they will almost certainly be successful in that endeavor.

We are going to need to hit threes at a high percentage tonight to have a chance. Also need to hit FTs.

Will need a supernova game from BI.

A win would be huge. Bunch of games tomorrow night that will shuffle the standings.

I still think (as crazy as it might sound to others) that letting Herb guard Draymond might be the best way to go vs GS. It would severely limit the effectiveness of the constant Draymond screens...to free up Curry/Klay/Poole on the outside which would negate the benefit of having Herb guarding one of those guys.

Plus...it would free up Herb to pretty much ignore Draymond and be an off-ball help defender all night...which Herb is VERY good at doing. GS is not gonna just sit back & let Herb guard Curry, one on one...he'll face screen after screen from DG & others. JMO...I COULD be wrong.

jonas and cj will need to play near perfect and stay out of foul trouble early

BI has to man up against Kuminga. He let that dude get in his head last game.

I don't hate your idea, but realistically Herb needs some more muscle mass before he can handle that task.

Herb has incredible IQ and instincts, but the Dubs are a well-oiled machine. No team attacks weaknesses better. I'm a huge Herb stan, but this is a rough match-up for him. Certainly, hope I'm wrong.

For sure, Warriors play significantly better at home. Record-wise, Pels are only a 1/2 game behind so if you believe you are what your record says you are, it may not be a stacked decked. Key, to me, is if the team can keep their turnovers down and stay out of foul trouble.

Yep, last game they bodied up BI and threw his game off. I suspect the same game plan from the Warriors tonight. BI and the team need to be prepared and match their aggression, additionally Coach Green should be on the refs from the get-go about letting the game be played the same way for both sides.
