This will be a tough one as the Pacers are red-hot. Should be a good test to see if the Dubs are over their mid-season swoon — no worries if they lose a close one, but if they get blown out starting early then I think we still might have some cause for concern.

This will be a tough one — outside of teams with big inside presences, I feel like it’s been the smart, veteran teams that have given Warriors the fits this year (see the last game against the Lakers especially). And with a road trip starting after this game, this would be a great one to get…

Finally, a weak opponent. The Warriors absolutely have to win this game before heading into their final rough portion of the schedule (San Antonio at home before an East Coast road trip).

Here we go again — time for a 30 game sprint to the finish. I think .500 from here on our probably gets them into the playoffs (45-37), but it would of course be nice to aim closer to 50 W’s.

Let’s hope the layoff got some life back in the legs of the young and old on this team, as a win tonight in Utah would be a great indication that the team from the first 45 games of the season is back/

This could be an interesting one — the Warriors are running on fumes and desperately need the upcoming break, but I’d have to imagine they’ll be motivated tonight given what happened last week in Houston. Either way, will be great to finally finish with the first “half” and give the team a bit of time to recharge before the closing stretch.

It’s not a must-win, but it sure would be nice to see the Warriors show some life tonight. This is the first time they’re facing the Grizzlies with Bogut — will it make a difference?

This is going to be a tough one: back-to-back, no Bogut, best team in the league who no doubt wants payback for their loss at Oracle a few weeks back. But on the other hand, the Warriors have had some impressive bounce-backs this season, no one played over 30 minutes last night, and they have to be hungry after last night’s embarrassment. So while I certainly wouldn’t put any money on the dubs winning outright tonight, I’m still saying there’s a chance…
