Game #23: Warriors vs. Rockets

Warriors (W-L): 11-11
Rockets (W-L): 14-7
Time: 7:30PM PST
TV: FSN+
Radio: KNBR 1050
We all know what happened last game against the Rockets. They barely won the game on a last second 28 point shot, 118-90. But TMac won't be around this game as he's out indefinitely with a bad back. Things should be a little easier than last time meaning the Warriors should be close. But alas, the Great Wall of Yao will still be down low with his big 7'4" frame. Hopefully this game the Warriors can hold him to less than 20 points...in the first half. Biedrins?
Hopefully we keep up the hot shooting and style of play that we were able to resurrect against the Kings. Houston is one of the best defensive teams in the league though, so it'll be really difficult to break 100. The Warriors are playing better than the last time the two teams met, so I expect big things.
But more important than the game, today marks a momentous occasion in Golden State Warriors basketball, it's the inaugural Warrior Girls Calendar Release Party!
Vegas Odds: Warriors by 5
Predictions:
- Warriors win by 3 after Yao leaves the court in the 4th to get his Warrior Girls Calendar autographed.

Prediction
Warriors by 13, after Foyle shuts down Yao by holding him to 30 points.

Warriors by 5?
I'm expecting Houston to win the NBA champsionship so if we can play with them we might make the 2nd round(assuming we make the first round!)

Yahoo sports NBA
Prediction:
-Yao helps my fantasy league squad by racking up at least a 20-10 while making all his FT's
-Baron plays up to par and doesn't disappear like he did in the game in Houston, getting something around 20-7-5 but no triple double again
-Foyle goes perfect from the field like Biedrins and Don Nelson still takes him out after Foyle is 3-3 on field goals
-FSN+ forces us without Marbury's quoted NBA "LEEG Pass" to watch a boring TNT game tonight between San Anton and New Orleans
-Warriors by 3, 110-107

Foyle?
But if they double him the warriors could win. They lost the other night and didn't look too good. It will be interesting to see if Bonzi plays that much. Depending who Battier is defending, Barnes could have another good game

Someone needs to edit that Zorgon
Never forget the FOYAL, like Antawn Jamison, he left it since it looks original- but is really pronounced Antwan.
Idiocy by our GSoM crew?!
Chill with the insult Zorg, we're all in this boat together as the wiki page links back here at the end and "there'll be no gas!"

Or maybe we can have a GSoM contest to win one?

Uh, Guys
Foyle HAS consistently slowed down Yao Ming. He's gotten several swats. He is basically shutting him down, and when Yao does score on Foyle, it's only because Foyle doesn't want to get into fould trouble. Yao did score a lot when BIEDRINS was on the floor. But with Foyle? A lot less. Yes, even the commentators are acknowleding it. This is not "Oh Zorgon's spewing a lot of FOYAL all over the floor again." It's serious.
The offense was basically at the beginning when we were getting shut down, and so Foyle shot a couple and missed. (Ellis and Barnes weren't making at the time either.)
