GS is a SERIOUS team. They would give anybody trouble.

Warriors & Nets stumbled last night. Both better win Game 6.

uPtoWnNY said:

Is GS on crack? I have not seen a team move up and down the court so fast in YEARS.....amazing.

I didn't see the Warriors game but my sis was telling me the refs made some questionable calls in the last minute of the game - did anyone (commentators, Ernie/Kenny/Charles) say anything about the calls? Just curious...

CalhounSq said:

Hummmm what calls is she referring 2? The only call that was flat wrong was Baron's 6th foul. He did NOT touch the guy but he was close enough 2 the player that the ref assumed he fouled the guy.

The Lakers are gone!

Two great games tomorrow. Houston at Utah and Dallas at Golden State.

Come on Houston and Warriors.

Why Utah, I want to see T-Mac get to the 2nd round and go Warriors!!!

Did my Hawks do alright? And how is Mookie Blaylock playing?

Where do the Los Angeles Lakers go from here? After getting pounded by the Phoenix Suns 4-1 in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, L.A. faces a summer filled with questions to be answered and decisions to be made.

At one point this season, the Lakers were 26-13, having beaten San Antonio twice and Phoenix and Dallas once each. They actually looked like a good team. Andrew Bynum was growing by leaps and bounds and L.A. appeared to be a solid top-10 NBA club. But then the bottom dropped out, and the Lakers collapsed down the stretch before flaming out against Phoenix in the playoffs.

With Kobe Bryant in his prime and not a whole lot of help around him, L.A. won't project as a good team heading into next season unless dramatic changes are made. Mitch Kupchak has a lot of work ahead.

Lakers fans are upset that the team didn't make a stronger play for Jason Kidd at the trade deadline. The holdup in the deal was that L.A. didn't want to give up Bynum as part of the package. At the time, Bynum looked like an emerging star -- potentially one of the better centers the league will have over the next 10 years -- but he really tailed off and was a complete non-factor during the Lakers' late-season fade. Now it seems laughable that the Lakers wouldn't give him up to get Kidd.

Bynum is still a good prospect, but with his development slowing down (he played only three minutes in Wednesday's loss because he was unable to keep up with the speed of the game) it might take years before he's ready to blossom. And Kobe doesn't have years to wait.

The other factor facing Bynum is that the league has changed in the last few years with the addition of the zone defense. Teams are able to play small, quick lineups capable of harassing big men and beating them down the floor. Is Bynum going to be fast enough to keep up and play big minutes, or will he be a spot defensive player? Those are questions Kupchak will have to figure out because Bynum will be his biggest bargaining chip this summer.

Bynum, Lamar Odom and Jordan Farmar are all assets that could be used in a trade, but Kupchak would like to hang onto all of them. That's why it's going to be interesting to see what the Lakers decide to do.

GO SUNSSSSS!!!!!

How did that GREAT trade for AI work out in Denver?

Tha Hawks are not doing so well. Mookie is doing alright but Steve Smith is taking over in close games. It's syill not enough too make the playoffs though.

No more Kobe. :evilol:

2007 FINALS:

DETROIT PISTONS vs PHOENIX SUNS

NBA CHAMPS: DETROIT PISTONS

Houston and Utah will battle for it all in Game 7, which is exactly what this series deserves. Either of these teams would at least make the Conference Finals in the East.

Come on Warriors!


Where's Dirk?

1 of 11 FGs and 0 of 5 3's as of the end of the 3rd???

Dirk is actually still in Dallas while his team is in Oakland.

I'm happy to be so wrong in my predictions! Nice series, Warriors. It was a long time coming!

The Warriors are a great story!

...Shouldn't Prince and Jimmy jam buy the T-Wolves?

twice lets go warriors!!

LittleBLUECorvette said:

COLD!

Dallas Who?????









Next!

nurse said:

Wait a minute.....



Once again...NOT SO FAST! Don't count Golden Sate out. You see what they just did to Dallas.




These Warriors are for real!




Don't let the # 8 seed fool you. This is a completely different team than it was the first half of the season, literally! If they had this (the trade for Jackson and Harrington - Baron Davis and Jason Richardson healthy) team healthy all year long...they probably would have gotten at least the second or third seed.
