OPEN THREAD: Game #16 - Warriors @ Sonics
Warriors (W-L): 8-7
Sonics (W-L): 3-14
Time: 6:00PM PST tip off
TV FSN Bay Area
Vegas Odds Golden State favored by 4 pts (souce: vegasinsider.com)
Just when you think you have it made in the shade, it can all get ripped out from underneath you.
Honestly, I truly hope this is the attitude that our boys approach tonight's game with. Seattle isn't exactly a red hot team, but as I've said before, there simply is no such thing as a "gimme" with the Warriors. In order to establish ourselves as a premiere team, we need to be able to deal with teams like Seattle quickly and efficiently. We can't waste opportunities to chalk up points in the W column. (shameless plug.)
That being said, we have a lot of things on our side as we step into Key Arena tonight. Seattle has seemed to develop an allergy to winning at home. So far this season, they've only won one game in front of their home crowd; against Murph-leavy and the rest of the Pacers.
In addition to that, I have to believe that the Warriors' confidence is at an all time high. Convincing victories over both Phoenix and Houston on the road to our current 5 game win streak has to have these guys juiced as all hell and ready to steamroll anything that gets in their way. I'd be very disappointed if we saw anything less that a convincing win tonight.
The bad news for us is that Kevin Durant is... well, all he was hyped up to be. So far the rook is averaging 20 points a game and in aforementioned Pacers game, rained 35 on Indiana. Bottom line: He's a potential threat. All assumptions are that we will be using The Jackson Effect to cool K.D. off. This should be a key match-up tonight.
A victory tonight is well within our reach.
GSoM Prediction:
- Warriors by 9.
- Jack keeps K.D. under 18 points.
- Beans racks another double double
- Barnes brings the pain. Sonics panic and flee to Oklahoma City.
GET IT DONE WARRIORS!
Update (Atma Brother #1):
That's 6 wins in a row and 9-1 over the last 10.
Stay tuned for the Recap!

Actually
A window into the fated practice session:

PJ: Adonal, I want you to show Latrell this face. It'll send him running away screaming!
Adonal: Trust me coach, anyone who has seen my face and hasn't already done so is ready for anything.
PJ: Oh, scrap that idea, then.... Latrell, put a little mustard on....my hot dog! We've already lost the playoffs, and I'm hungry.
Spree: Okay, as long as you're paying! I'm not in the mood of giving charity. Gotta feed my family, ya know!
(Bimbo Coles, vying for the starting job, kicks PJ in the back of the knee. PJ falls onto Spree, and spills Spree's soda, fries, and hot dog.)
Spree: Whaaaaat! According to arena prices, that meal cost me $135.67!!!! How am I gonna feed my family now!
PJ: I swear, it wasn't me. It was Adonal! Can't you see the maliciousness in his eyes?
(Adonal is reading the Wall Street Journal while blocking all of Mussgy Bogues' shots.)
Spree: Okay, okay, I'll belive you.
(Spree goes to buy now hot dogs, come back five minutes later.)
Spree: Here's your hot dog, PJ!
(Throws the plain hot dog to PJ.)
PJ: If I've told you this once, I've told you this a thousand times! Put a little mustard on that pass!
Spree: Mustard is $5 a pack!!!!
And the rest is history.

UKgswfan, are you watching the game through streams like me? Last week, during the Sixers game, you weren't but I gave you some links and hopefully they work for you. It's good to have another Warriors fan in the UK, it shows I'm not the only one.

True, but
Therefore, THud=scapegoat.
I mean, inasmuch as you can have a scapegoat in a laugher. But hey, turning a 28-point lead into a 13-point win could have knocked us down a notch in Hollinger's rankings...
