The Ws were without Jackson in the last game, and Harrington was awful. Everyone is playing better now for Golden State (except maybe Baron), and the team seems to be more focused as well. They have now had two games in a row with good starts in the first quarter, and the main reason they lost to Atlanta was the horrible start that they had. Other than the first quarter, Golden State outplayed and outscored Atlanta last time as well.
those three in their last 10 games also happen to be 3 in their last 5...6 including todays loss to boston. not that i think the hawks will beat us this team, but i really dont think this is gonna be as easy as you make it out to be. we've lost the last 4 meetings against atlanta and i dont see them making this meeting any easier. it will be better having jackson for this one tho to contain whichever wingman is having a good night. wright had a good game against them last time too.
that said, warriors by 7 in a good game....but by no means will it be easy
