I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....

It'll be interesting to see how we adapt to that kind of play. With the game being at home, Warriors +5.

Murphy will play well but again it is JRich who has the real matchup advantage - Who comapres with him on the Suns........ migya make the ring fall on ya

I was about to vote -5, but I can't put a damper on us while we're on the biggest winning streak in the league. Warriors by 1. Maybe. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD

This will be a fun game, and Im predicting a high scoring game. If we keep up the D we should get out of this one with the W. Warriors by 3

X Factor of this Game is our Frontcourt. If we can create a strong frontcourt presence, they will be in trouble. We have the best defensive 3pt percentage in the league, and this team pratically lives outside with only two teams above them in 3pt attempted which golden state is one of them. Phoniex Suns take loads of jumpshots and if we can create enough defensive stops by countering their 3pting and create those missed shots into our own points.

This will be a long night for the Suns.

We'll win by 7+

New. Stuff.

Krome, I've said this before, but nice job on these game threads, they're great.

I know what you mean though. Phoenix is still not going to be easy to beat, but I think we'll come up with a win at the end.

These game previews are very nice and a good way to start talking about an upcoming game, well done.

Like I said before, the Warriors will and should be hungry to win against the Suns after they lost the first game this season against them. The defense of the Warriors is a good advantage but the team seems to have the ability to score inside and out. Outside of marion, noone on the Suns can rally score inside. Important is that the team gets a hand in the face of the Suns shooters. Open shots the Suns eat up and the Warriors are doing a great job not giving teams open outside shots
