I'm really hoping for a breakout game tonight. This team has played a couple of tight games and fallen short - otherwise their record is much better than just over .500. They seem to play up or down to their competition.
IF they want to make the playoffs this year, this would be a huge springboard game. The first team to beat the Warriors are going to get a LOT of positive media attention. Think that would do wonders for their confidence.
Don't forget that this team lost 19 games before they got their 8th win last year. If they manage to beat the Warriors, they're at 9-7 and 5th/6th seed in the west.
