No Bogut, no chance really, but the team should just go at it best they can and see how good they can be on the road here.

[krome]

Interesting, Mark Jackson went with Biedrins over Ezeli.

warriors getting blown second game in a row - cue drinking marathon thoughts..

It's okay guys. Every team goes through a slump. Ours just happens to be on the road, which is not that bad. Curry haven't been shooting particularly good and Lee is had a tough matchup tonight. Interested to see if we can steal one in Memphis, and we're more than capable of beating Dallas.

[Blackfoot]

As long as don't have people panicking again than I am fine with the slump. Peaks and valley's of the season.

When did this forum become 'speak only good about warriors' thing?

[Blackfoot]

It doesn't have to be only good things, but it was kind of maddening to see "WE ARE ONLY TWO FIVE GAME LOSING STREAKS AWAY FROM NOT BEING IN THE PLAYOFFS."

It was kind of ridiculous.

which we were, and might find ourselves in the battle for three last spots very soon, playing garbage like this - complete meltdown on perimeter defense, giving tons of offensive rebounds by playing zone.
it's good we have subpar after the trade memphis soon, though they might score 110 the way we are playing.

The Thunder are only two seven game losing streaks away from not being in a good position in the playoffs.

Just because it is true does not mean it is realistic or not ridiculous.

lol, fighting for the playoffs. Absolutely ridiculous. This teams a lock at this point.

[8th ave]

Damn, man. I remember feeling like this all the damn time. I say we take Memphis and Dallas.

I believe we lose to Memphis, we get some more people freaking out, beat the Mavericks.

Firmly locked into the sixth seed.

yeah, we are like the thunder. i remember houston had 7 game losing streak. i'm not sure we are that much better than them - let's make it six - and you're sitting 2-3 games above houston and jazz/blazers. if this is ridiculous, then us winning division and having home court in playoffs is no less so.

[Blackfoot]

Houston will be fine too.

Winning the division is also ridiculous.

You can be ridiculous on both sides.

Getting blown out at OKC is a usual thing for teams. Memphis is vulnerable right now and a win against them would be real good, stabilising at this point.
