you can't really say that the suns WOULD have won game 1, they just had a better chance if nash was on the floor.
and i hate nba refs too and their biased bs calls.

Anyways, yes, the warriors got way too 3 happy, but getting to the FT line didn't help them either. They missed 13 of them. As for going to the hole, jackson did that plenty, only to either turn the ball over or miss then complain to the ref while the game is still going on. As much as I like the guy's emotion out there, he needs to just shut up and get back on D. Harrington goes to the basket too, but he's a horrible finisher inside, and horrible FT shooter. Biedrins is their main inside guy, but they can just hack him all day like shaq cuz he's another horrible FT shooter. So the FT line doesn't exactly help the warriors a whole lot. Warriors have been known to be a horrible FT shooting team. My friends and I would joke around whenever we missed our FTs and say "you caught the warriors disease."

What can we say we shot ourselves in the foot with the 3s. As I stated in a previous post we live and die by the three which is our show and our kryptonite.
I knew I was being too generous when I said the Jazz would win in 7. Oh well.
Off the bandwagon? Sorry to burst ur bubble bud but I was a fan of the Warriors since '91 and I watched them through the sh*tty times. Anyway this series easily could have been 3-1 as of now. Last night the Jazz played well, despite their turnovers. The warriors just wont win when their 3s dont go down. Remember Nellie gives his team the freedom to do w/e they want running the floor and the guys just happen to like to launch it from beyond the arc. If we lose, its cuz we beat ourselves.
Basically its what you said. 3s 3s 3s.. Even us warrior fans are gettin tired of it. But hey its how they play and how they have always played this year. Oh yes and free throws. We suck at those too. A free throw here and there would've changed a lot. We missed 13 last night. We lost Game 2 basically cuz B.Diddy missed 1 of 2. Blah. Whatever happens after this series, just know this. If the warriors dont make it past this round, the playoffs will be dead boring (assuming the spurs beat the suns too). Time to whip out the newspaper and read about the playoffs if they warriors lose.

well that wuz my point. i mean ur not gonna make every single lay up nor get every single call when u get fouled but that doesnt mean u should stop attacking the basket. even if u miss 13 free throws it still doesnt mean u should stop attacking the basket. remember the more free throws the better.

Well I'm not exactly disagreeing with you. I would definitely like to see them attack the basket more, especially during crunchtime. It's really hard to say what the better thing to do is though. More free throws the better, I think that only applies if they actually make them, but it would be a good idea to get aggressive just to get their key guys in foul trouble like what happened with deron williams and fisher in game 3. I remember last season everytime warriors got fouled, it was actually turning into a good thing for the other team to do. It was like hack at shaq but with the whole team.

Now Horry>>>>>>>>Bowen.
This is strange, coming from Horry. He usually knows better. Even if there exists the remote possiblity that it wasn't intentional (which i think it was), he put himself in a bad situation. Body the guy, bump the guy, even, make him uncomfortable. But the one thing you can't do is hip check nash.
IMO, i think the bowen play, where he kneed nash in the goodies, I believe that Bowen was trying to create space, albit illegally, but i don't think the intention was to kick him in the nads, really. They just happened to be there. He woulda made contact with nash anyway, either in the thigh or the knockers.

yea i seen that hit. that hit wuz crazy nash just went flying and hit the announce table. i wuz like WOW but wut i dont understand is you dont have to foul any one that hard to stop the play. i know that horry is gonna be suspended but itz not like the spurs really need him the whole game. they only need him to make big shots when it counts.

Same here, as barkley says, they're not gonna die, you have to kill them. I guess the plus side though if warriors get knocked out tonight, I finally get to shave my "playoff beard"..haha it's starting to look dirty.

Amare should be safe, although his foot was obviously on the court. I didn't see Diaw step onto the court.
