Tonight, our Dubs face another team under .500 team. I don't know why but the Dubs seem to not play as well against the bottom of the barrel teams and they seem to light it up when playing some of the elite teams in the NBA. I'm not sure if our beloved Dubs go into these sub-par games underestimating the other team or what but we need to consistently close out these teams with losing records.

Ner Jersey Nets, if you're looking at their roster then glance over to their record, you wouldn't understand why they have a losing record in the first place. They got Jason Kidd (arguably the best PG in the game), Vince Cater... and Richard Jefferson who is having a career season for New Jersey this year. The Nets have become known as the star-power team trapped within a mediocre franchise.

The Dubs are 2-1 on this road trip having suffer a lost to Detroit earlier in the week. The Dubs can win this easily with their run and gun ways and I'm pretty confident that the Nets cannot keep up with the Dub's intensity and Hustle. But, the Nets jut came off a passionate Overtime win in Miami on Thursday night. They will look to bounce back and hopefully get some more W's.

Interesting Fact: The Warriors have only won 2 of their last 9 games against the Nets

Game Plan:

- Run
- Run
- Rain 3's and run up the score

DubTown Forecast:

- Harrington has a great game (after his few week slump.. he's starting to bounce back) 26pts, 7 redounds
- OMFB aka Monta Ellis gets 2 dunks and racks up the fastbreak pts (10) on this slow New Jersey team

The Man = Monta Ellis is maturing rapidly, and I'm sure he's going to dominate the Net's slower guards tonight. I give it to Ellis slashing and driving his way to Victory!
Stateline: 26pts, 7 assists, 2 steals, 5 rebounds
Potential Warrior Killer = Richard Jefferson. Hopefully Cap'n Jack can contain the break out Jefferson or else he's going for another 25+ pts game.
Stateline: 32pts, 6 rebs, 3 assists

Result: Warriors: 121 Nets: 107

Go Dubs!
