The more games we win, the closer our next defeat is... but won't be against the Queens.

W's by 10.

6-3, BABY

I've always been a fan of Rahim. I really wanted him to come 2 GS. He resembles a smaller/slower Bosh so Dre will be busy. We SHOULD take this one...I'd say W's by 4 unless Ronny and Martin goes wild of course---***030***---

This game will be on national television on TNT. I think the Warriors are on a roll right now and I look for that to continue on Thursday night.

The Warriors must be able to defend the likes of Mike Bibby and Kevin Martin to win this one. The defensive matchups in this game will be interesting. I am not sure what Nellie will do to be honest with you.

Ellis on Bibby?
Baron on Martin?
J-Rich on Artest?
Murph on Thomas?
Biedrins on Abdur-Rahim?

The Warriors must do a better job limiting second chance points against the Kings. This Kings team is feisty and Musselman has instilled a good team spirit in his club.

I fully expect the Kings to try and slow things down a bit to keep the Warriors shooters and runners at bay. Ultimately, I think the Warriors will get the best of the Kings and win this one. It will be a hard fought game though.

The pace of the game and limiting second chance points will be the keys for the Warriors to win this one.

On top of that ( nomatter how bad we shoot FT's ) THEY HAVE NO SHOT BLOCKERS! Since they'll probably slow the tempo down everybody should take it 2 the basket. Ball movement is they key---***030***---

I actually think this is one the Ws could lose. They are feeling good, on a 3 game roll and Musselman has special motivation - Ws in a nailbiter, by 2

I don't think it will be that close. Maybe a nailbiter during the first quaters, but then the W's will pull away with a comfortable lead.

W's by 15...

I think everyone's too high on the Kings. Me? Not that impressed. The only way the Warriors lose is if they get slowed down but I'm not seeing that happening. Not Thursday at least.

I def think the Ws will get this one. The Kings just cant match up with us, especially missing Brad Miller, and our bench is sooo much deeper.

And hopefully we will see more of Wagner.

Martin's been on fire lately. Kids averaging over 22 a game. Pretty sweet for a guy who's ranked in the 150's in scoring up in the fantasy leagues. But still, this is a Warriors forum. The Kings may have been playing good lately, but it's time these Warriors run them out of their shoes with some run 'n gun baby.
