I was trying my best to represent GSoM at Staples. What a heartbreaker!!!! I'm gonna have nightmares of that open three for weeks. I know if Boom Dizzle had that shot, it would have been nothin' but net, more than making up for the crappy display he showed us today.

Turning point of the game: Monta's dribble of his foot right in to the hands of a gift-wrapped three pointer, cutting the lead from a solid 8 to a precarious 5. After that, we were reminded once again of 12 years of futility. Bless Monta's heart, he was amazing in that game, but that play killed us.

Unbelievable stats of the game. There are two: 24 to 8, our edge in turnovers. The Warriors were stellar putting pressure on the Lakers all night, leading to this disparity. One would think we should have dominated this game with that stat alone, except for........63 to 33, Lakers rebounding edge. This is absolutely unacceptable; it's not like the Lakes are known for their rebounding prowess. No box outs, no hunger for the long rebound, Runi Turiaf looking like Ben Freakin' Wallace.

Goats of the game: B-diddy. Coming off one his best games of the season, this was disappointing, but we know he just never ever ever does well against the Lakers. EVen worse. S-Jax. The first two minutes were atrocious for him. He made some plays but also made too many costly mistakes and ill-advised shots. This is my first time seeing him live, and he was really a non-factor.

Great game, otherwise. As Warrior fans, we really have a lot to be proud of, I just wonder if we'll ever be able to sustain these efforts for more than just 20 games in a regular season.

Let's keep the faith. We can do this!!!!

Monta was still amazing.

YES GOTTA HAVE FAITH BABY!

Not blaming the refs though; game was lost on the boards. If we had only been outrebounded by 25, we would have won. (I can't believe that number either.)

I was at the game and the Warriors got their share of bail out fouls when they game back from 19 down. The point is that you're not gonna get any foul calls when you constantly shoot unnecessary three's. They just had to keep driving to the basket instead of selling out.

Their were plenty of other reasons for the loss, other than the zebras.

Watching Biedrins, I think he really needs to toughen up.  He has a good developing game, but I think big guys like Turiaf sense when he is going to get wimpy and european and they just bang him out of the way.  Turiaf was pushing him out of position every time, both on offense and on rebounds.  Biedrins needs to bulk up and spend a summer playing at Mosswood to learn about getting tough under the basket.

2) Did the Warriors just get outrebounded by the unthinkable margin of 30 rebounds? 30! (Warrior rodmans- 33, Laker rodmans- 63).
-Does anyone on this team other than Andris know what a rebound is?

3) Why do the Warriors make Ronny Turiaf look so unstoppable baby in the 4th quarter?
-Because he hustles for rebounds. We do not.

4) During back to back Laker trips to the foul line in the final seconds of the game when the Warriors had to secure a rebound, why did Nellie have Jason Richardson and Stephen Jackson at the bottom of the key?
-Got me on that one.

5) Why did BD and JR keep jacking up treys when they were a combined 5 for 19?
-because "great shooters keep shooting" unfortunately, neither of them are "great shooters"

6) How did the Warriors lose a game with Action Jackson dropping 9 dimes with only 1 turnover?
-Because the teams assist-bad shot ratio was as bad as their assist-turnover ratio was good.

7) How did the Lakers win tonight's game when they had more turnovers (25) than assists (24)?
-Because Kobe doesn't pass.

8) Can you believe that at one point in this game the Warriors led by 10 points?
-Yea! :)

9) Do you realize the Warriors were down by 19 points at one point in this game, but only lost by 2?
-Better yet, the 10 point lead came after the 19 point deficit.

10) Is the nickname Rasheed Jackson for Stephen Jackson funny or just sad?
-Kinda funny.

11) Did the Warriors really have more points in the paint (48) than the Lakers (46)?
-Monta Ellis is the next Tony Parker. and then some.

12) Can Action Jackson go through a whole game with out getting a technical foul?
-Possibly. if we're winning the whole way.

13) Five years from now who will be the better big man in the Pacific Division, Andris Biedrins or Andrew Bynum?
-Andris, Andris, Andris.

14) Why do the Warriors keep taking three's when they keep missing them?
-Boredom.

15) Is Luke Walton really Mike Dunleavy on steroids?
-With cool tattoos, and a basketball dad, instead of a mafia dad.

16) Aren't you happy that Ebok didn't drop 50 tonight?
-Ehh.  As long as we lost, he might as well have dropped 82 to make it memorable.

17) What would have happened if Josh Powell played more than 2 minutes tonight?
-We would have gotten out-rodmaned by 25 instead of 30.

18) When will the Warriors finally beat the Lakers?
-Next time we play them.

19) Anyone else think Drew Gooden would be a great fit for this Warrior team?
-Absolutely. As would his buddy Anderson Varajeo.

20) When Ebok changed his jersey number from #8 to #24 did you think it was just dumb?
-Somewhat, especially when the rumor came out that he did it to be one better than MJ. If he had a legitimate reason, then cool, if he's doing it for the attention....well, it's better than raping people, I suppose.

21) If the Warriors and Lakers switched rosters, would the Warriors still lose?
-Definately.  Baron Davis playing for LA = Disaster.

22) How come we didn't see Jessica Alba in the audience tonight?
-She knew we'd lose, and it was too sad.

23) "PLAYOFFS?!!"
-"Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir."

24) You're still reading right?
-for the second time, too!
