Although the fans of the Golden State Warriors seem unfazed after losing Game 1 to the Utah Jazz, the team hopes to win Game 2 and take home-court advantage back the the Golden State. The Warriors played well in Game 1, and seem to have the support from the blogosphere because the underdogs play a fast-break style of ball.

Stephen Jackson had his court trial postponed, meaning that the starting ‘power’ forward won’t have to appear on trial between Game 2 and 3.

Point guard Monta Ellis looks to turn around his fortunes in Game 2. Ellis played an important role in the team’s success late this season, but hasn’t scored in double-figures since the third game of the Dallas series.

Baron Davis seems to have pulled a Jason Kidd-injury, or at least played exceptional at well less than 100% health. With a pulled hamstring, Davis shot just less than 50% from the field and scored 24 points, although he got burned often by sophomore Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams.

Derek Fisher didn’t play in Game 1, but may make it back to Utah in time for Game 2. Although Fisher finished out the series against Houston, a member of his family had a medical emergency. Fisher played two seasons with the Warriors before a trade this past summer.

GAME TWO prediction: Jazz 128, Warriors 123 (OT)
