Ginobli out?

If the Warriors don't do a better job on the glass, we're going to be in big trouble.

Ginobili comes off the bench now.

Oh, I never knew that. He was always overrated anyway.

This game is tough. It's a tossup, anyone can win.

Its a back-to-back, Baron played a huge amount of minutes, and its San Antonio.

Spurs take it convincingly.

whenever were home we got a chance.

we have to contain parker. god i hate that guy.

Must win? I think so. Gonna be another tough one especially since its a back to back. At home the warriors can beat anyone on any given night though.

Warriors by 1 on a BD game winner as time expires

GO WARRIORS!!!!!!

It is a home game but the Spurs are great and looking to keep winning. Think it will be close with Monta cutting sick again.


Spurs by 5

I do not believe that both Baron and JRich will have consecutive bad nights. Ws by 7. and it's a home game

Must win. The Clips are red hot. The schedule ain't easy, but it's what life is going to give to you. Home game against a competitive team.

Yeah, but Baron did play heavy minutes so he will be tired. The key here is not letting us get dominated on rebounds/frontcourt stuff.

Home game, playoffs at stake... and it's about time we win a friggin back-to-back (I know we won one against the Sonics. I'm just ranting a bit).

Dubs by 3.

After last night's loss, this is a MUST win tonight against the Spurs. Both teams will be playing the second night of back-to-backs. The Warriors will have to rebound well and play better defensively than they have the last two games.

The Warriors were playing quite well defensively until the last two games. They were only allowing about 96 points a game in their previous eight games before Washington came to town and dropped around 70 on them in the first half. The Lakers then blitzed them for over 60 in the second half last night. Giving up 60 point halves = Warrior losses.

Baron will be tired, but he must suck it up and play well tonight. Monta was great last night outside of the one glaring turnover, and he will have to be a big factor tonight as well.

If Stephen Jackson can't keep his mouth shut, keep him on the bench. I am tired of him constantly bitching about not getting calls when he is clearly out of control driving the lane and expecting the officials to bail him out. Nellie needs to set him straight in a hurry.

Also, rebound, rebound and rebound more. I am too confident about this one though. I have a feeling last night's loss might linger tonight. We will see though.

another x factor to consider...Stephen Jackson was a Spur on their championship team and may have some extra motivation, so I am looking for a big game from him...unless he gets thrown out six minutes in
