After what happened last time, Houston in for an ass-whoopin'

It is never a certainty what will happen with the Warriors. They are up and down right now.

Chances are it will be a close game.

I'll say The Warriors by 15 because Yao is out

[christy]

double team tmac, dare the other rox to shoot, secure defensive rebounds, lead by 15 at the half,
rest the starters in 4th quarter.

i haven't watched many warriors games lately 'cept for the one against dallas, but i did hear that yao is out and they've lost something like 4 in a row?

Wow, I'm finally in agreeance with you. But maybe Fisher over Dun depending on how both are doing.

So it's going to be a close game and we win by 15????

We've won a difficult game in Dallas, this should be an easier one. If we can (somewhat) contain T-Mac, the game's ours to lose.

Warriors +5.

Warriors SHOULD win by 15 but the way they have gone this season, it will probably be a close game

[drfrank]

if dunleavy "guards" t-mac...look for a 50 point game. rockets still lose!

[Cosmos]

why is T mac in the game?

rockets would be better suited just throwing bowen in there if Mcgrady can barely run.

31-22 w's after 2 baron 3's.

[Cosmos]

fishers gotta stop taking contested 20 footers with 15 left on the clock.

Other than that, solid work so far

[christy]

we dodged a bullet. have to say, MM didn't coach the game well tonight.

[wrycooter]

Two observations: Ike Diogu will lead the NBA in shooting percentage next year. The guy almost always converts the automatic ones and hardly ever selects a difficult shot over an easier one. Second, did anyone notice the two blonde hoochies sitting at courtside near the Warriors' bench? What was that all about?

[migya]

Great win! murphy and Diogu have to rebound more! Murphy is not handling the boards like he used to. Diogu scores alright but he needs to be a monster rebounder and get the shot blocking going! Why did Foyle not play? He injured?

TMac a monster again but our backcourt gets it done!

dunleavy highlight of the night:

TMac comes back from a sprained ankle and immediately takes little dung off the dribble for a layup. I say put little dung on the guy checking into the game, maybe he can stop him.
