We are so dead. The Warriors will want blood, they've had lots of rest, and we aren't playing very well lately. I think this one could get really ugly.

Just relax and take your beating, Mori, by your second favorite team.

This is one of those games where coach will lean heavily on Price and Tucker.

The "good" thing is this is on ESPN, so even though I am traveling I can watch. The bad thing is that it doesn't start out here until 10:45. The other bad thing is that we are playing the Warriors. So I will likely be up until 1:30 watching us lose badly, and then be so excited to be at my 7 AM meeting.

We should have a thread where each person ranks how much they like each team from 1-30. It'd be interesting to see the trends and averages. Mine would contain the following:

#1 Suns
#2 Warriors
#3 Spurs
...
#30 Lakers

We expect them to get crushed so, anything less than totally crushed will feel like a victory of sorts. You learn a lot when another team humiliates you on national tv. I sort of wish they could just play the Warriors twice a day for a week. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

So, what's the over/under? 20?

The Warriors are home favorites with a point spread of -13. Over under betting line is set at 220 points.

Would you take that over or under? I'd take the Warriors over; I think they will beat us by over 13 points.

Mine would look the same. You just have to respect what the Spurs do.
