SCOUTING REPORT: This team is undersized, so it will have to rely on a fast-paced offense and guys who shoot the rock and score from any place on the court. With Hardaway running the point, the Warriors have one of the game's best distributors; Mullin and Barry are two of the best shooters of all time. Thurmond will have to stay out of foul trouble and Mr. Mean is around to throw a few elbows, but lack of size will be a problem against the Rockets.
