Tonight’s game should give us a clear marker for gauging the Warriors’ progress toward being a true playoff team. I would find it absolutely shocking if they won (5th game of the road trip, equal rest as Miami as both last played on Monday, the Heat still have their upset loss to the Wizards fresh on their minds to motivate against a let-down), but if the Warriors can at least make things competitive until the end I’ll be happy pocketing a moral victory.
Key to the game? Has to be 3-point shooting from Steph and Klay — along with either Barnes or Green getting their shooting back on track and contributing double-digit points to take some of the scoring burden off the rest of the rotation.
