No game thread yet, so here we go. This will be fun. I always look forward to these matchups given GS is in my back yard, and bragging rights for the next week are always on the line for me. :D

Anyway, I doubt we'll see much defense tonight. There isn't a player on GS's roster who has a chance in hell at stopping Cousins. If Cousins stays out of foul trouble and his guards get him the ball, he should dominate.

On the other side, I don't see how we stop both Monta and Steph. If Thornton was playing it'd be a better matchup, but I'm already worried about Jimmer/IT matching up with either of them.

Let's do this!

I feel like the Kings have a better team or at least a better future on paper but the Warriors are playing better in reality. The Warriors are looking at this game as an easy win for sure. I can't believe I've lowered my expectations this far, but I'll be happy regardless of the outcome as long as they don't get blown out.

On a awkward side note, the Warriors pregame just showed a clip of the Griffin dunk last night. Kinda sad since it had nothing to do with either us or GS.

Looking forward to the game. Just a question...what is the best way to keep up with the thread other than just refreshing the page over and over?

At this point, I simply can't see any argument for keeping Hickson over JT. JT plays with such energy and is becoming a more potent post threat while Hickson, for all his athleticism, never seems to do much with it.

You forgot the most important problem with Hickson: he thinks he's John Salmons

Hickson will be more of a midrange threat than Thompson a few years down the road, which could be a better fit around a penetrating distributor.

His fundamentals are terrible, though.

I don't know JT has a nice 14 footer and we did use him from the high post a bit last year.

Salmons Killing us on both sides.
