PLAYBOOK

The Warriors will try to hold off the Rockets in a must win for both. GSW's Steph Curry will have to be on his game as he and Warriors 2G Klay Thompson with "Respect the Beard 13" and LINsanity of #REDnation. The Wild Card will be GSW's Back Up PG J2...Jarrett Jack. Jack could be the difference if the Warriors decide to go to their lethal Three guard Combo.

The Front Court play will feature the Warriors All-Star David Lee playing at a Career High Level vs Rockets Big Omer Asik and versatile Small Forward Chandler Parsons. Can the Warriors Rookies in Small Forward Harrison Barnes and Big Festus Ezeli slow down the Rockets Front? Throw in newly acquired Thomas Robinson and the Rockets are trying to mold pieces around Harden.

This will be a backyard get down as both teams know the Lakers and Jazz are lurking and just four games separates the four teams.
