Golden State is 4-2 at home this season, and we are 4-2 on the road, so this should be an evenly matched game. If I was a gambler I would put money down on the Spurs losing this game. I don't think Golden State is all that great of a team, but we aren't playing all that well either as of late, so that's going to bite us in this game. Golden State might be missing one of their best reserves in Mickael Pietrus, which hurts their depth because him and Fisher are the only two guys who play big minutes off the bench. Golden State loves to shoot threes and don't have much of a post game, so that's where they make-or-break themselves. We need to get better ball movement going, because that has disappeared over these last 3-4 games. That's mainly Parker's problem, because he sure is dribbling a lot and turning the ball over a lot too. I would like to see a steady dose of feeding Duncan all game long, but we seem to forget about him over the course of the game.
Prediction: Golden State 98, Spurs 90
