Oracle Arena is going to be a madhouse on Thursday. The Golden State Warriors are coming off an embarrassing, 40-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but Game 2 doesn't matter anymore. Golden State got the split it needed at Staples Center and, if the Warriors earn a Game 3 win, that slip-up will be a distant memory.

With the series tied 1-1, the Warriors look to take advantage of what will be a raucous home crowd.

The Clippers have lost their last five games at Oracle and 15 of their last 17. It's not as if the crowd can stop Blake Griffin, who scored 35 points in 30 minutes on 13-for-17 shooting on Monday, but it's hard to imagine the Warriors coming out as flat as they did in the last game. Still, Golden State head coach Mark Jackson is going to have to fix some things defensively in order for his team to keep the home-court advantage it earned in Los Angeles.
