Tough loss for the Warriors, in every conceivable way.

Next two games are Oakland, they NEED to win both, and I dont think there is a person in America that doesnt think they can do it.

The Ws gave that game away... bricking free throws, Baron turning it over. Props to Kirilenko for a monster game and to Derek Fisher for smothering defense on Baron near the end.

I hope Dee Brown is OK.

ps Best wishes to DFish and his family. :(

That says it all. I have an urge to whine and moan at length about how the W's gave this game away, but things happened in this game that put things in perspective. That Dee Brown injury was scary, and I just hope it won't prove to be serious in the long term. As for DFish, I never really liked him as a player when he was with the Warriors, but he is by all accounts a great guy, and I wish him and his family the very best also.

As for this game, I'll just say that I think we gave away our chances of winning this series tonight. Even if we take two at The Oracle, I don't think Utah is going to leave the door open for us again like that at their place. We really could have stolen game 1, but tonight was nothing less than a gift. :tdown Maybe Biedrins can give Pietrus some tips on FT shooting. ^_^

WTF

pat riley stated yesterday that the daddy will not be traded in the off season....

i didn't know the daddy was on the trading blocks

This is the time to do it. His trade value is only going to deteriorate from now on and it doesn't look like Miami will win another championship with him.

When Fish first joined the Lakers he couldn't shoot and all he did was hustle on defense and scrap for loose balls. He worked tirelessly on his jumper until he had a fairly accurate three pointer. The shot he made to keep the Lakers from going down 1-3 in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs with four tenths of a second left in the game is one of the most memorable shots of my lifetime. Getting overpaid by the Warriors was a just reward for all his efforts.

That said, I too wish Fish the best and his daughter a speedy and complete recovery. He's a classy, hardworking ballplayer.

I think this pretty much nails it. Fisher is generally an average NBA player -- a role player. However, like Robert Horry, he's been associated with occasional clutch play in the playoffs.

I couldn't watch the first half due to a gig, but I got home just in time for halftime and saw the box score. I said out loud, "What the hell?" Then I read that the Pistons only had one trip to the line in the entire 1st half.

Uh...

The third quarter was a thing of beauty, however. The Bulls are done. They'll be lucky if they don't get swept.

This series is in the refrigerator. The door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are getting cool, the butter's getting hard, and the jelloooooooooo's jiggling.

It seems to me Bowen is looking at the ball (his head is up) the entire time. If he was purposely going for Amare's heel, then he'd be looking down, no?

Wow, I don't know. It looks like his head does dip a bit at one point, but regardless, you can look down with your eyes without tipping your head forward. I hadn't even heard about this until just now, but looking at that clip, it looks borderline dirty to me. Sticking his right foot out that far just looks unnatural, especially when he was totally beaten on the play. Reading about Bowen's earlier fine just makes me that much more suspicious.
