OPEN THREAD: Game #1 - Warriors vs Lakers
Warriors (W-L): 0-0
Lakers (W-L): 1-0
Time: 7:30PM PST tip off
It begins. After going 5 - 1 in the preseason, the Warriors return to the Arena for their opening game. And who better to test ourselves against than the Los Angeles Lakers, a team who we lost against in every meeting during last year's regular season? Don't be fooled by the lack of Kobe tonight; the Lakers just came off a pretty decent comeback against the Suns. Shutting Odom down will be a big part of this game tonight.
Now is the time of Nellie. Let's see what you got!
Vegas Odds: Golden State favored by 6 ½ points. (Looks like Vegas has faith!)
GSoM Prediction: Warriors by 5.

when did Brand get traded to the Lakers
Just give you a hard time, i think you probably meant to say Odom and yes that will be the entire game plan...stop Lamar. He is all they have right now.

Let's Go Oakland! Gas, Brake, Dip.

from the horse's mouth
Actually, not 100% - it's all about the next 20:
Nelson: "You can pretty well judge a team after 20 games or so," he said. "If we're not good after 20 games, we're gonna struggle. If we're good after 20, we'll have a shot."
Which corresponds exactly to the analysis earlier on GSoM by many contributors who've said that any realistic shot at 2007 playoffs resides in the first couple weeks of this gift of a schedule.
Warriors by 2: 116-114
GO DUBS!!!!!!
Oh I'm back baby...

It'll always be the Arena
Glad "The Arena" name is gone

Tonight, I say emotion carries the Warriors to victory by 4, 110-106, with Baron and Dunleavy combining for 45.
Lakers, I was impressed with Odom and Bynum last night but I don't think they repeat tonight.

and yes ike has played 0 minutes and scored 4 points with 2 boards. lol. more like 10 minutes.

Lots of Zone
The last 5 minutes of the half, Ike, Biedrins, and Murphy were all on the floor. I think Nelson sees his team's problems in the post.
But Foyle
We'll get some Foyle on the floor in another game.
Pietrus and Dunleavy
