Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves: It’s GSW Fan Night!

The Warriors are going into their fourth game within the last five nights. Although they came up short in a loss to Portland last night, boy was it a thrilling match up between these two teams headed to the playoffs! It’s the last home game of the season and “GSW Fan Night” at the Roaracle. Playoff positioning is key for our Dubs. Let’s get a win tonight & give the home crowd a good show. Warriors vs. The Timberwolves is about to go down!

Key to victory:

Here comes Stephen Curry:
47 points against Portland last night!? We're going to need to see some of that again tonight on the offensive end. Dish out a handful assists, and a stack of rebounds... Maybe get another triple double? We'll take a win on top of a great performance!

The X-Factor: Draymond Green: His 3-pointer to force overtime against the blazers was straight fire. We're gonna need that to compliment Steph's crazy performance tonight.

With Lee & Bogut possibly out tonight or at least not playing at 100% - We're gonna need our bench squad to give a little more to secure a win. Our bigs are going to have their hands full with Kevin Love coming off a 40 point game against the Kinds last night.

Shut down their Guards: Last thing we need is Kevin Martin & Ricky Rubio having career nights off our Dubs. It's going to feel like a WWE tag team match up pitting the Splash Brothers vs these two. Play solid D & force turnover and I think we can come out on top.

DEFENSE: Play lots of it Dubs! ‘Nuff said!

Predictions:

Stephen Curry's gonna be the glue holding this team together for a victory.

The O'Neil, Speights & Green trio will play a huge factor defensively.

This could be Harrison Barnes' night: Solid Jumpers, strong defense & an electrifying dunk.

Big night for Andre Iguodala. Missing that game winner last night is going to fuel him up for this game.

Dubs 50th win will be tonight - a title short handed but we can win this by 5!
