Z-bo is owning Griffin right now.

 

[KingSpeed]

I feel bad for Grizzlies fans. They're gonna choke this away.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bledsoe is garbage. People wanted to trade Lillard for him? No, thanks.

 

[KingSpeed]

I wonder if Randolph is gay.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I wonder if Randolph is a Ninja Turtle.

Yes, he is.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Yes, he is.

That had me rolling man... so true...

Was wondering when Z-Bo would show up. He gave us one half in the first two games, had me thinking he was starting to hit the wall.

Pondexter was huge tonight as well, but I don't know if that kind of production is realistically sustainable throughout the series. If we want to have a realistic chance in this series, not only will Z-Bo have to continue to show up like he did tonight, but we need guys like Bayless and Arthur to show up.

Another guy who has been MIA has been Tayshaun Prince. He's averaging over 32 mpg in the series and is only putting up a little over 3 ppg. We have enough problems scoring on the perimeter as is. If Prince is going to continue to be a no-show, we have no chance.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lovin my Knicks right now. I'm moving back to NYC so I might go see a game.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

JR Smith is such a goon.

GS v DEN is easily the most fun series to watch so far

 

[KingSpeed]

GS v DEN is easily the most fun series to watch so far

Yep. RocketsThunder gonna get fun soon too

 

[KingSpeed]

I like Barnes. Seems like a cool guy.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm so proud of Jarrett Jack.

 

[KingSpeed]

Splitter down.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nobody waves a towel like Patty Mills. Championship level.

 

[KingSpeed]

Just as I say that, he checks in.

 

[Rhal]

If you had told me before the lakers game that Morrius and Goudelock would combine for 44 i'd assume the Lakers dominated the spurs instead of got dominated.

 

[Further]

My god this GS / DEN game is a blast to watch.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Once again Denver has not played either of their 2 centers more than 14 minutes.
If they are not going to use them, then give us one of the three.

 

[illmatic99]

Jack might have just cost his team the game. Dumbass. Horrible plays by him this quarter from the turnovers to the bad decisions to the 5 second call in the game's deciding moment? COME ON

 

[Rhal]

I thought they got the timeout called but man this is an intense game lol

 

[Pinwheel1]

That was kind of a quick whistle on the 5 second call. But yeah Jack had two mental errors in the last couple of minutes.

 

[HailBlazers]

If you had told me before the lakers game that Morrius and Goudelock would combine for 44 i'd assume the Lakers dominated the spurs instead of got dominated.

Worst lost in Laker Playoff history.. 75 degrees n' sunny in Portland, In April, what a Great day!

Splitter down.

Bad No call.

I'm so proud of Jarrett Jack.

Yea he had a few of his old bonehead plays, but has overall become quite the player

I like Barnes. Seems like a cool guy.

Playing pretty damn good for a rookie, CLE should have drafted him instead of the juggler

 

[KingSpeed]

If you had told me before the lakers game that Morrius and Goudelock would combine for 44 i'd assume the Lakers dominated the spurs instead of got dominated.

Why? Even with 44 points, they have zero depth at guard. They had to score. If you expected they had dominated, were you imagining the Spurs scoring only 70 points? Now if they were at full strength and those two scored that off the bench, then you'd have a point.

 

[KingSpeed]

The real stat to look at is Duhon. 25 minutes without making a shot or an assist. Wow.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Once again Denver has not played either of their 2 centers more than 14 minutes.
If they are not going to use them, then give us one of the three.

...so WE can not play them.

"The series has started now" - Pau

lol. Its ended as soon as it started.

Jesus I was losing it watching the GS-Den game. After the first half I knew we'd come back and it would be close but I was a little worried. Oracle was a HUGE disappointment IMO. Crowd barely got off their asses at all in the first half. Ugh.

They need to figure out how to beat a halfcourt trap. Curry and Jack look like middle schoolers walking right into it and then not knowing wtf to do. Teammates weren't exectly helping them by making a pass easier. So far there's been some good chess moves going on between Karl and Mark Jackson. We won game 3 but, at home, it was too close for comfort and MJ needs to find a better response to their smallball, traps, etc. that they used in game 3.

Steph Curry through 3 games: 26 ppg, 11 apg, 3 TOpg, 5 rpg, 2.3 spg, 47% FG, 44% 3 pt FG. Denver is actually doing a good job on him in my estimation, but their style of play is also beneficial to the W's and its tough to keep up with Steph if you're going to simultaneously making an effort to get up and down and open up the floor.

I have noticed that P. J.Carlesimo does not have that great of posture when he's standing up. He hunches his back and curls his shoulders.

Gerald Wallace looks absolutely useless
