Warriors @ Hornets Game(day) Thread

[Montsta]

Well, I promised I wouldn't come into this forum anymore talking basketball, but seeing as my boys are coming to town tonight to play your boys, it seemed appropriate. The game is at 7:00e/4:00p so I probably won't be off work for the beginning of it. 

My Dubs HAVE to lose eventually, will it be on the road tonight against a team playing its best ball of the season? It could definitely happen. 

Lets go Warriors.

Steph Curry Tampering Night should be interesting.

Wanting to see what happens with Al out for an extended period of time. Judging by last year it was generally thought that Al's ball stopping, inefficient scoring and being a complete liability on defense was what killed that season, but without him in the Bucks game on Sunday the Hornets weren't able to score inside at all and it really hindered their ability to move the ball around in the offense.

Best case scenario during the time he's out is the team plays well enough to let the FO know the team can move on without him for good. My fear is that if the opposite happens it will convince everyone that he needs to stay.

I'd like to get a win here but I just don't see where this roster exploits mismatches. Batum could have a good game, Kemba could go UConn and Lamb could get hot off the bench and I'm still not sure the Hornets would win this.

Also apparently today is the anniversary of the Warriors terminating Sprewell's contract in 1997 after he choked Carlesimo, so there's that.

Hoping Lin gets more time to guard Curry then Kemba. I imagine there will be a lot of Charlotte Curry jerseys in the stand as well. I believe it's a Dell Curry t-shirt promotion as well, so kudos to the Marketing team for scheduling that with Curry's only game in Charlotte.

Also the debut of the black jerseys, which are awesome once you get over the fact that they have to wear sleeves.

Warriors are playing out of their minds right now, I just would like to see our boys make a game of it.

The sleeves will go soon enough. Silver doesn't even like them so he'll change the policy in the coming years I'd imagine

I don't think the Warriors have lost a game while wearing their alternate sleeved "slate" jerseys, and I still hate them.

waiting for Curry to come out and remove his warmups to reveal a Hornets jersey and then he DDTs Klay Thompson and Dremond Green, then he gives Luke Walton the Stunner and gives him the middle finger Stone Cold Style, then he stands on the scorers table and drinks three beers at once, then pukes and proceeds to drop 40 on the Warriors in a cruel twist of fate, giving them their first loss of the season.

All that and no inclusion of Cam?

I haven't been hurt like that since the badass billy gunn turned on the road dog jesse james. 

You hit me right in the feels

...and just as Curry is soaking it in with the home crowd going wild, Steve Kerr comes out of the crowd with a baseball bat. OMG STEVE KERR IS BACK. Kerr is wielding the bat, point his finger at Curry ....then the lights go out and a mummer falls over the crowd....the lights come back on, and my god, ITS CAM ITS CAM. Cam Newton is standing next to Curry and the crowd loses their mind! Cam and Steph look at each other and nod, then put their fingers around Kerr's neck for a double choke slam!!!  The two stars rise their arms in victory and the camera fades.

This is only acceptable if Cam goes on to lead the Panthers to a super bowl win. Otherwise I'm against it.
