Comments on: Here we go… http://warriorsandwhatever.mikedisharoon.com/2011/12/here-we-go/ Musings on the Golden State Warriors and anything else we feel like talking about Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.2 By: Jake Kirkland http://warriorsandwhatever.mikedisharoon.com/2011/12/here-we-go/#comment-579 Sun, 25 Dec 2011 21:17:00 +0000 http://www.warriorsandwhatever.com/?p=1700#comment-579 Adding … Injuries this year are going to hurt harder than in years passed with the compressed schedule.  May be more likely to get hurt and more likely to miss more games.  Even flu season could cause a loss of 3 games instead of a single game. I think Curry misses at least 6 games this year (10%) and any other injury could be huge. Also, more games against the West which arguably got better this year outside of LA Lakers.  This might actually be the year the W’s can beat up on the Lakers if they are willing to run the old men out of the building.  Another reason why I would be happy to see run and gun rather than defense this year.  Just play fast and young and take advantage of tired veteran teams.

29-37  Ugh.
