OPEN THREAD - GAME #40: Warriors @ Pacers
Warriors (W-L): 23-16
Pacers (W-L): 17-22
Time: 4:00PM PST tip off
TV FSN Bay Area
Vegas Odds Pacers by 1.5 (source: yahoo.com)
Hey... I know these guys! Tonight the Warriors look to take 4 in a row and they head out to the land that corn built and take on the Indiana Pacers (for the second time in 4 days.)
In retrospect, it may have been foolish to aggressively boo Dunleavy (and to some extent Murphy) in the Arena when we all knew that in a mere matter of days we would be facing the Pacers in their own house. I mean, there's a pretty good chance that the Pacers fans will attempt to exact their revenge by excessively booing Jax and TMNT tonight, right?
What have we done? Have we created a hostile environment for our boys to enter tonight? Was it all worth it?!
Heh. You bet your ass it was. Everybody JUMP!

The question remains, which Warriors team is going to show up in Indiana tonight? You can believe that we aren't going to make any assumptions of a blowout tonight. Not after the win that we barely scraped from Indy last Sunday.
The truth is we are still in the market for consistency. While Warriors fans can celebrate our winning record, few can make the leap to call us one of the NBA elite. Frankly, an elite team would be able to blowout of the Indianas and Minnesotas of the league. The Warriors haven't been able to accomplish this yet.
Please don't read me wrong, I'm has happy as anyone that we are angling to further a win streak tonight; I just don't want to see this ride come to an end anytime soon.
Which brings us to tonight.
In our last meeting, O'Neal, Granger and *ahem* a certain ex-Warrior took our D for a ride and made the critical scores that lead to such a close game. In the meanwhile, the Dubs hosted one of their worst shooting nights of the season. (both from beyond and the charity stripe) Tonight, I'd like to see improvement in both categories, however I'll settle for improvement in just one. I think it really says something for what we are capable of against this team if we were able to sneak a win despite so much going wrong for us.
While a win is a win, the hope is that tonight we can turn our current momentum into a Pacers beat down. This is truly one of those games that should be in our rearview mirror from tip-off onwards.
Let's take `em down Dubs!!!
Predictions:
- Tinsley commits a flagrant foul on Monta. Monta responds by dropping 29 points. Oh wait...
- Baron gets 10+ dimes and 20+ points.
- Jax and TMNT get boo'ed in the start of the game. Dunleavy and Murphy get boo'ed at the end of the game.
- Did someone say Funleavy Foto Fun?!!
- Warriors by 11. (Take that Vegas!)

Confident on the Road (first time in a long time)
I think the FTs will be way better than Sunday and that SJax has come out of his funk. That will be the difference.

I know we're throwing him out there to market him for a trade, but really, he is utter trash. No one single handedly keeps opponents in the game like he does
1/4 with 2 fouls, 1 board, 1 block in 8 minutes, both fouls leading to FT's.

It's one of the reasons
I couldn't watch (I'm at work) so I was limited to Yahoo Sports game board. Looking at the stats makes me think if we would have just made our FREE THROWS it could have made the difference between a win and a loss. Pacers made 36 of 38 free throws. Not too shabby (compared to the Warriors' 28 of 37).
But then another part of me thinks it's probably the bad karma from all the Dunleavy booing on Sunday coming back to bite us in the a$$. Was pretty tasteless in my view, but I also realize I'm in a small minority with that opinion.

Of course the warriors want to win now, but they are poorly constructed right now and have players that are playing terrible.
How can they have a major roster shakeup if they don't trade Baron or Andris?
What team would want Jackson, MP, Barnes, or POB?
The only guys worth mentioning are Harrington, Monta, and Azuibuke, but they will not bring in a superstar that would constitute a "major roster shakeup"

technically,
W/ the west as tight as it is (the Jazz are likely making it), this trip along w/ the light February is crucial considering how insane the March to early April schedule is:
20 games in 35 days w/ 13 road games and 7 back to backs, 13 games w/ teams currently in the playoffs. plus the rockets and clippers, who'll probably have brand back by then.
now that portland has emerged, i actually don't think the dubs are going to make the playoffs. makes it a lot easier to take, though i won't go as far as to say i take it well.
they'll have a chance if baron & jack remain healthy or if roy, camby, or dwill sustain a major injury or if something unforeseen happens (a trade or if either belinelli, wright, or pob actually contribute to wins).
