The Warriors are happy to home I’m sure, who wouldn’t be when you have a great ground to protect like Warriors Ground. They will look to get back in the winning column in this one against a bad Boston Celtics team. DubNation is happy to have them home.

The Celtics stumble into town on a 6 game losing streak, and they just seem to be getting worse and worse. It’s not that their offense is bad, it’s that their defense is just plain awful. They really need Rondo back to even give themselves a chance at a playoff run.

After a superb seven-game road trip that spanned 13 days, the Warriors on Friday return to the warm embrace of Oracle Arena and also to a soft landing spot of an opponent in the struggling Celtics.

The Dubs have won 11 of their last 12, while Boston has lost six in a row and nine of its last 10. The Dubs are a playoff team aspiring to contend, the Celtics a rebuilding franchise committed to future growth.

In short, it’s a 24-14 home team going somewhere facing a 13-23 road team going nowhere.
