He will be fine on offense. Defense is where it's going to be bad.

David Lee plays again!

Wow Bogut wow

Fast paced game so far by both teams

Must win for GS. Dream final would be GS Indiana haha. Thats a looooongshot though.

Or Indiana vs Memphis for Stern's retirement. LOL

Somebody make a shot

It will be fun to watch any outcome of a Spurs-Grizzlies series and a Heat-Pacers series.

Amazing that the above sentence is not trolling.

Klay taking some terrible shots.

Gs would be exciting to watch in the finals. They would probably get overmatched, but i love the squad the have assembled.

Thats their ultimate downfall. When the jumpshots arent falling, they are in trouble. Similar to OKC

Popeye is killing golden state.

Christ ginobli...

Look at their foul trouble. The jump shots will continue to not fall as long as the Warriors don't have offensive bigs on the floor. Barnes running in will get stopped. Also, they can't keep trading 2's for 3's.

The expierece factor is kicking in now. Pops got Mark Jackson panicking now. It seems like Pops is very slowly taking the gas out G.S. tank.

Indeed. They are being forced into bad shots. They are missing Landry Bogut and Lee.

Watching Barnes this playoffs make me want us to get Shabazz

He is playing better, but to put in perspective, he's getting most of his points against Parker, especially in the post. Parker isn't a good defender to begin with, combined with the size advantage, and I would expect Barnes to dominate him.

Can't watch. How's Manu?

Confetti for evening the series?

What a great game. This series are being fun.

Jack was so clutch to even the game in the 4th.

Wow G.S. found a way. Amazing!

Why could he not be like that when he played for us?

Harrison Barnes was a steal at 7. I have a feeling Muhammad is going to be the steal this year.

Clutch win by the warriors there to keep my prediction alive baby!!!! Barnes, jack and bogut were the keys to this win with a few curry 3s sprinkled in. Like I been saying. A healthy bogut is really gonna make the difference if they can truly make the final push to make it thru and sneak into the finals. Yes they do depend on their jump shooting but when u have multiple weapons doin it. It allows a lil room for error when curry or Thompson are not clicking. Barnes and jack can knock em down if they are off. Not too many games will occur where 4-5 guys are all off. Of course the games that does happen they have no chance. Well, I'm still on the warrior wagon for this run tho. I'm hoping for a warriors vs pacers finals. That'd actually be 1 of the more exciting finals matchups. IMO. Watching the pacers play recently. They really look like a legitamate threat to the heat. If hibbert can keep up his play. He could be a big problem for the heat. I wanna see George lock down lebron also. I the resting series coming up IF they both make it thru. Which I'm Predicting they do.

He was pretty damn good offensively when he was here. People here were not happy with his defensive effort though.

He frequently was. He also cost us games like what he did in the previous game for the Warriors.

Yea sometimes he gets beside himself lol. The last game he had before this one. I've seen so many of those when he was with us.

Has anyone ever just watched Pops on the sidelines? For anyone who hasn't, I recommend it. Just as entertaining as the game. That man is a wild one.

I recall one game at the arena, the Hornets were pasting the Spurs in the first half, and Pops calls a TO. He then knocks his chair over, pushes one of his assistants in the chest, and reads his team the riot act. The Spurs came back from about 17 down in the first half and beat the Hornets by damn near 20.

His words with Parker in this game on the court is no surprise to me.

That guy...:hihi:

Pops gives some awesome interviews,

Heat vs Bulls underway! Looks like Chicago has some empty seats.

I just want Chicago to prolong this series as long as possible. Thats all i ask.

*IF* they had Rose and Deng i honestly think they win this series. They are too banged up man..

I'm hoping for Pacers vs Grizz finals. I doubt Stern allows it...for basketball reasons. :hihi:

After seeing Dwayne Wade's "skinny" polka dotted suit with highwater pants and loafers....

I hope he never retires.

This crowd kind of reminds you of a Hornets game. Scattered empty seats on lower bowl. Glad we are the Pelicans now.

Also this game is boring compared to Fri night.

I think the players are just exhausted at this point. They have no depth bc of the injuries. Double whammy

Chicago is done, just too gased, makes you feel for that organization, the team, fans and all. Gotta be so frustrating losing so many players to injury. But gotta hold your head high with the kinda effort the put in game after game. They really give it their all. But this guy Lebron man. If he does become an ~85% free throw shooter like he says he wants to be, the things he does in all every part of the game on both ends of the floor.... jesus

Chicago even with those guys back still need a little more depth (which they could definitely get if the could get rid of Boozer's contract) to beat the heat

OKC moves some players around in lineup/adjustments clearly has Memphis off guard.

Memphis is flat

OKC had a chance to put it away early. Looks like the Grizzlies are back in it.

I wonder how good and how far this Memphis team can go. The Heat are beatable as the Bulls show, they just have no depth. A team like Memphis though, with Gasol and Randolph, and solid guard play...., they have nothing to defend Lebron, but would that be a nice series.

Wow this is turning out to be quite an ending. OKC about to choke again. Gasol misses critical free throw.

I think they have a good a chance as any other team remaining to make it to the finals. I'm still going with the warriors tho. I picked them before the spurs series and I'm sticking to my og pick. Lol... I wouldn't be shocked if the grizz made it to the finals and won it all tho. They are a very complete hard nosed team. Remiiftar of the old school pistons in a sense.

Wow. Fisher with the turnover that might wind up costing them the game. Smh

How did the refs missed that call. It was as clear as day.

Memphis comes back again. Up 3-1

All the Grizzles fans singing whoop that trick from Hustle & Flow when the game ended.:hihi::hihi::hihi:
