Golden State appeared to have our number even in preseason. I think Bogut is one of the best matchups for Cousins in the league, both in skill package and bad blood that damages Cousins calm. But more than that, I almost wonder if an advantage I thought we'd have against Golden State in Malone knowing Jackson's system, might in fact be working the opposite way. Jackson and the Warriors know Malone's system, because Malone's system WAS Golden State's system last year. They seem to know everything we do, have an answer for everything except maybe the random IT hot streak, and even there Toney Douglas, WHO WE COMPELTELY ****ED UP IN NOT RESIGNING is a pain in the ass.
Atlanta does not present such problems. Back on our home floor, with rest. They don't have the huge defensive center to cause Boogie problems. That's a big key for us as sans Boogie and IT dominating we looked completely toothless out there.
