OPEN THREAD: Game #74 - Warriors vs. Grizzlies - The Most Important Game ... Today!
Warriors (W-L): 34-39
Grizz (W-L): 19-54
Time: 12:00pm PST
TV: None!
Radio: KNBR 1050
Shall I say it again? Do we really need to discuss this? Is this the most IMPORTANT game of the year? I say it is. Two games out of 7th (Clippers) and 8th (Nuggets) place, the Warriors only have 9 games remaining to make ground but have one of the hardest schedules remaining.
As fans, we hit a typical bipolar week when we lost to the Spurs by 37 points and then put on the most exciting win against the scorching Suns. Just when I hate the Warriors, they reel me back in.
So today we face the Grizzlies which should be an easy win, especially at home. However, having split this series so far, it's evident that the Grizz could come out and give us a hard time. Even with the worst record in the league they somehow are able to match up against us pretty well. We have a full strength squad so that should give us the upper hand. If we lose today, consider us out of the playoffs!
Anyone going to the game? If so we need a full analysis when you get back!
Playoff Related Notes:
Clippers: No scheduled game today. Next game versus the Fakers on Wednesday.
Nuggets: 6pm game at the Sonics. Keep your fingers crossed.
Vegas Odds: Warriors by 11 (as of 8:21 am PST)
Predictions:
* Warriors by 9.
* JRich continues his hot streak scoring over 30.
* H. Warrick makes us wish we drafted him with sweet plays.
* Brian Cardinal makes an appearance and it's not pretty.
* Biedrins gives Gasol grooming advice.
Make sure to give us your predictions in the comments before tip off and post any comments you have during the game right here.
THROW UP THAT W!!

Um, no. The Nuggets have by far the hardest remaining schedule of the three teams -- a much higher opponents' winning pct, plus two more road games than the Ws, and three more road games than the Clips. The Clips' and Warriors' schedules are comparable: Clips have an extra home game but the Ws have a slightly lesser strength of opponent and one fewer back-to-back (we have two; they have three).
But yeah, today's a must-win. Really they're all must-wins at this point...

I can't believe slapping at some gum while going to the bench after a subpar beginning to the game would get someone ejected.

We've shot 24 3's
I think that, in a nutshell, is why this team is so inconsistent and so bad on the road where everyone shoots worse. You can't shoot lights out every night. You have to get to the rim

Tiebreaker Situations...
same head-head (2-2), so it goes to div records,
where gs has 5-10 and la 5-7, w/ 1 and 4 games remaining, so unless the clipps choke, they will get the spot
Warriors/Nuggets tie:
Denver has head head 3-1
Warriors/Nuggets/Clippers tie:
common games = clipps/nuggets get in.
so the warriors need to make up 2.5 games, instead of trying to just tie now.

recap
by Nooob on Apr 1, 2007 5:38 PM PDT up reply actions
OK...
I take my boss' kid to the game. I spent some of my last money on some decent tickets. We hit a dog, who, for some reason, was on the freeway, and killed it on the way to the game. Then, the car overheats in San Leandro on the way to the game from San Jose. It overheats VERYYYYYY bad, so we get off on Marina Blvd. at some Valero gas station. I get out, pop the hood and take a look. The car doesnt start again at all....very bad news. Its 11:30 am at this time. So I call a taxi...they tell me it will be about 20 minutes....so Im like cool, we will still be there before 12.
An hour and a half later...a whole HALF of the game later, we arrive, and catch the 2nd half...only to hear a bunch of smartasses ask me if I knew the game was at 12 instead of 1...bla bla bla. Taxi back to the car at Valero after the game. Tow it to my father in laws house, cause it is his car (im struggling right now)...the guy isnt home. So Im stuck in Campbell, CA tryig to get back home to Alviso (near Milpitas).
All along....everybody I told this story to, thought it was an April Fools joke...which made it harder to get around.
Point of the story...I hate April 1st...the Warriors win somehow still didnt brighten my day...all I could think about is how the hell Im getting to work...and how bad of a day this is.
Whoever read this whole thing...props. I had to get my aggression out on something...and I love me some GOLDENSTATEOFMIND to do it.
