WHAT THE WARRIORS MUST DO TO WIN 1. Rebound: The Warriors struggled to rebound this season and Dallas' frontline is both big (Erick Dampier, DeSagana Diop) and athletic (Josh Howard). The Warriors are likely to lose the rebounding battle over the course of the series, but the key is for them to hang tough in the paint. 2. Go uptempo: The Warriors had enormous success against Dallas in their March victory by getting the Mavericks into an up-tempo game. They were able to accomplish that by forcing turnovers to create fastbreaks. If the Mavericks can force the Warriors into a methodical, half-court game, it might cause them trouble. 3. Chip in: Lots of Warriors had a hand in the late-season playoff push that got them into the postseason. They're going to need all hands on deck in this series. One of the Warriors' strengths this season has been their depth. Golden State will have to utilize that depth and will need significant contributions from role players such as Mickael Pietrus and Matt Barnes to keep the tempo fast-paced. 4. Outside influence: If the Warriors have proven one thing this season, it's that when they're hitting their 3-pointers, they are tough to beat. One of the unique aspects of the Warriors' roster is that they have several players at various positions who can shoot from beyond the arc. The Warriors are going to need a few of them to have big series from 3-point range.
