I hope he puts Pietrus in, keeps Barnes and sits Troy. Pietrus should be back in by Wednesday.

The team is on a role and the Pacers are nothing special, capable but haven't been great so far.

Smooth sailing and we should have the 10-6 record. I'd like to see Murph get back to his ol' double double self.

We should be able to spank them. W's by 14.

I don't know about that. They're not as bad as they may seem. But we still should get the win.

W's by 5.

The Pacers are going to be push overs.

Warriors will sail to a comfortable win by 15 and lead through out the whole game...

Harrington's gonna try and impress us. It'll backfire with him missing more shots than he makes.

Warriors by 10+ if Jermaine hits foul trouble... Warriors by 5 if not.

Im with you on that 32. AB has to step up once again and stop Oneil.
We should be able to run these guys off the court. They are a post up team that relies on Jermaine to control their offence.
Transition B Ball get the win.

I don't know about that. They're good at one thing, and that's not allowing the other team to play their game. That will be the real battle. If we can run, there's no way they can stay with us... but if not, it will be a real close game.

Indiana will surely try to slow down the game and play the Warriors very physically. I am sure Tinsley will try to post up Ellis and guard him on the defensive end by bodying him a lot. Monta must find a way to get some space so he can pull up for the jump shot or get by him using the dribble.

Rick Carlisle is a good coach, but the Pacers have not been the same since the brawl in Detroit just over two years ago. There just does not seem to be good chemistry with the Pacers although they have some talent for sure.

This is a game the Warriors should win. The Warriors are playing well as a team right now and with Nellie pulling the strings and making the adjustments, I think the Warriors can and will win.

Lastly, I would not be surprised to see Nellie go back to the 3-2 zone to start the game as the Pacers do not feature many, if any good, consistent, outside shooters. When Jasikevicius comes in, he has the ability to shoot it from out there but I will take my chances with Stephen Jackson, Danny Granger and Jamal Tinsley from the outsider.

Oh, and one more thing, the schedule makers have been extremely nice to the Warriors in November. Not only have they played most of their games at home, but they are playing teams on the second night of back-to-backs almost every game. That is a huge plus especially since the Pacers and Bucks are both on long, west coast trips.

Warrior can and will win this game.

Indy is not bad but the warriors are playing great and they have beaten the only two east teams theyve played handily.
