Warriors Forum Game Thread

[bruindre]

Can the Orlando Magic dictate the tempo of this game on the second of back-to-back road games? Long story short - that's how I see the Magic winning this game.

Warriors, after an 0-6 start, now find themselves 2 games above .500, for 2nd place in the Pacific Division. Since serving a 7-game suspension, Stephen Jackson has lead the Warriors to an 8-1 record, including their current 6-game winning streak.

Mickael Pietrus got hurt in tonight's 109-96 win over the Sonics. Other than that, the Warriors regular rotation of players looks to be healthy (and in the case of Baron Davis, relatively rested, as he only played 30 minutes in this game).

Want to enlighten some of us Warriors fans on the Magic? Come jump into the discussion on the Warriors thread for this game as well!
