If you can't see the Warriors tonight, then I recommend this movie.

Warriors: 11-29
Hawks: 23-15
Tip-Off: 7:30 PM PST
TV: CSN
Radio: KNBR

Since I'm not seeing Blart the Mall Cop in the theatre this year, I've decided to check out Slumdog Millionaire. If you haven't seen it I recommend it. Is it worth the hype? Maybe not, but I'll let you be the judge. In the meantime it's Friday and that means I'm in a great mood. Nothing can bring me down. Sure I have 12 more hours of work, but hey come 7:30pm tonight, I'm relaxing with my orange Fanta and enjoying the Warriors beating the Hawks.

That's right, the Warriors are going to win tonight. Want to know why? Because of positive reinforcement. It's what my boss is teaching me at work. If you just believe you shall achieve. I say by 9 points. Crawford is due for a big game and with Maggette dropping the long range jumper that will free up Biens to be a monster in the paint. The Hawks are losers of 5 of their last 6 games. They don't have to tell us how that feels, but the Warriors are 1 and 2 in the past 2 games (granted that's 1 win in the past 7 but who's really counting).

So put a smile on your face. It's Friday and the weekends abound. The Warriors are destined to win ... and if this preview doesn't work, there's always Monday to bring me back to my sarcastic ways.

YaoButta's predictions:

-          Warriors win by 9 (I'm not kidding).

-          Crawford and Maggette combine for 50 points.

-          Ellis still doesn't play.

-          Biens collects 17 rebounds.

-          Joe Johnson and Josh Smith are held to a combined 47 points.

Happy New Year Everyone!
