OPEN THREAD: Game #51 - Warriors vs Grizzlies

The Warriors may win depending on if:
  1) Derek Fisher puts on a solid performance. We need Fish to step up and lead the team tonight in place of Baron.
  2) We need to stay consistent throughout the game. This means we can't blow the third quarter after playing great the first half and then relying on the fourth quarter to get back in the game.
If Troy cannot play:
  3) We can fill in Murph's shoes. This means we will need Dunleavy to score some points (hopefully in the 15, maybe 20 range). Also, we need contributions from Foyle, Diogu, and possibly Biedrins/Cabarkapa. I'm pretty confident Foyle can guard Gasol.

If all these fall into place (let's not forget free throws), I say the Warriors will definately win.

Not looking good thus far (2nd period).  Zarko looks like he was in the car accidnet with Biedrins.

It's just a complete nail-biter every single offensive possession.

I wonder when Fish puts a hand up to call a play if it actually means anything, or is just a ploy to the defense...  It seems like they just go 1-1 every time.

Not bad 1st 3 quarters. They're spreading around the points, and we're yet to really here from Pietrus. Here's to a solid 4th from MP.

Looks like another loss.

Don't foul!  

Same ol' story.  Mully better not waste the trade exception for tomorrow. Time to watch the Olympics before hitting the sack.  Glad I watched 24 instead of the Ws tonight.

You don't let the star player beat you. Where was the double team?  You surround Gasol and make him give it up and let someone else shoot. If that guy makes it, fine. Don't give Gasol a chip shot; that's one of his favorite moves.

Hey MP don't foul when there are no fouls to give and with the game is tied and 7.5 seconds to play!
