OPEN THREAD: Clippers vs. Warriors

Warriors (W-L): 47-32
Clippers (W-L): 23-56
Time: 7:30PM PST tip off
TV:CSN Bay Area
Sitting at 47-32, one game behind the current 8th playoff seeded Denver Nuggets owning the tie-break and not to mention the Warriors during the season, the Warriors needs more luck than picking a four leaf clover, rubbing the belly of a buddha statue, and a billion heads-up pennies could bring combined. Since halfway through the season, tonights game counts as much as the game before and the game before that one... basically the Warriors need to win and the Nuggets need to lose!
This is all very possible still considering the fact that the Warriors are playing the injury-plagued LA Clippers and Denver is playing against Utah, who loses at home about as much as Patrick O'Bryant gets off the bench. Translation: Never. Lets hope today is no exception.
The Clippers just got Elton Brand back only to have Chris Ka(ve)man go down for the season. Only five games into his season, Brand already looks like he's in game shape and rhythm. I worry that Brand alone will somehow will the Clippers to a win. But I guess with Maggette potentially out, this team looks nothing more than the NBDL team, the Miami Heat. I guess summer-league came early for quite a few players this season!
Predictions:
* Warriors by 3
* Monta Ellis has 27 points
* Azubuike nets 8 points, but when it matters most
* Al Thorton scores 40 points
* Quinton Ross is tonight's official Warrior Killer
What are your predictions for the game? Big things popping? Little sh... stopping?

Let's see
I will be at the game tonight
My predictions:
Baron hits 33, 10 dimes and 7 boards
Jackson gets 22
Monta gets 27
Beans slaughters Kaveman and pulls down 16 Rodmans.
Warriors win by 23 in a never close one.
Bringin' down the house, we believe style.
Who's all going to the game?
Warriors got me depressed
Anyways, go Warriors and go Utah.

Still, Baron should be able to abuse whatever sorry PG the Clips throw out there (Dickau or Smush). This is a tough matchup for us though, cuz Brand, Thornton and Maggette all like to take the ball inside. Hopefully we can pack in the zone and have active hands.

Question for Cynthia
The J-Rich Trade
And you say "Nellie was right". What exactly did Nellie say about Richardson that makes him "right"? If I recall, both Nellie and Mullin were happy with the trade.
Last year with J-Rich = 42 wins
This year without J-Rich = 50 wins & more money
We did fine without him this season. It's just that the Western Conference is way too good this year. And thanks for the heads up about Kaman not playing, we apologize for not knowing about a team who rarely anyone follows in the first place.

Very Good Start ...
Or if they stay focused and intense and serious the whole game.
I want to comment on Houstons game with Denver
If we go 3-0, we will be in the playoffs... I see it very clearly.
Utah is beating Denver as we speak. Houston has to win tomorrows game and are on a roll. When Denver starts a slide of losing, they usually lose two back to back.
Go Dubs.
