Post Game 5 Links

The Good: Last night the Warriors rallied back from a 21 point deficit and led by 9 points with just a few minutes left.

The Bad: The Mavs finished the game on a 15-0 run.

The Ugly: How the Mavs are going to feel after Thursday night in Oakland.

That ref ejected Action Jackson for what now?
Hopefully that ref won't be reffing anymore playoff games this season.

At last, an MVP-worthy effort [ESPN]: GSoM friend Henry Abbott wraps up the game the best:
Henry Abbott (5/2/2007 at 1:00 AM): I watched and re-watched Baron's last foul. That was pretty lame. Jason Terry not getting tossed, and Stephen Jackson getting tossed … that was all wrong from how it looked on TV. You wish it hadn't happened that way. But this was a great game. The whole thing was on fire. A million highlights. It would be a shame to remember this game for the referees, because both teams had real chances to win. One thing that really shocked me: Golden State passed up good looks with the game on the line. Baron, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson -- they all did. Not like them at all.

Ain't Nothin' but a Ballgame

Yo Atma, you missed one Brother. ;^)

Ain't Nothin' but a Ballgame [SFist.com]

Don't sweat it Warrior Nation, just as we said before game 1, it's going to be Warriors in six games -- just sit back and enjoy the ride tomorrow night 'cuz we're all just livin' the dream.

Everybody misses a jumper now and then

Ain't nothin' but a thing Atma Bro'. GSOM is the best.

Cheers, baby.

The Warriors have to take care of business tomorrow night. Although they are clearly capable of getting the job done in Dallas, it would be a lot easier to end the Mavs' season tomorrow night at home. Let's go Warriors, A LOT of people are pulling for you guys!

yay

hooray for ballhype!

Ronald Reagan was a jerk.

Jason Terry must DIE

Can all of you that are fortunate enough to go to the game, please boo the hell out of Terry. I wont even bring up Howards shove of AB in the back, because I want to focus on the cheapest shot of the playoffs. Im talking of course about Jason Fairy's weak sauce suplex of BD. Don't ever put your hands on the Baron like that. That was plain and simple, a dirty play. How is there no talk AT ALL in the media about possible suspensions or fines? Don't let that shit pass lightly, Dub Nation, he must feel our wrath tomorrow.

Howard

yeahh I thought I was the only one who noticed the shove in Biedrins' back. it was called a shooting foul, but it should've been a flagrant since he obviously wasn't going for the ball. and also, Josh Howard is a ballller

Ronald Reagan was a jerk.

by Nooob on May 2, 2007 9:02 PM PDT up 0 recs

i was just thinking ....

the same exact thing. I was looking all day for any news of a fine or possible suspension for Terry, but nothing!!?? WTF? That was such the cheapshot and completely intentional. NO fine..no suspension? If that was Baron or Jax they would have been gone for AT LEAST one game.

Let's Go Oakland! Gas, Brake, Dip.

by OaktownFunk on May 2, 2007 11:48 PM PDT up 0 recs

I saw it as well.

I saw the shove too. Man, Beans almost got injured because of that cheap shove. He was grimacing for awhile before the foul shots.

the game changer was

AUSTIN CROSHERE - was the one giving us problems from out of nowhere

oh yea

out of all people.. it looked like him and baron were gonna get into it at one point.. after that somewhat hard foul.. that webpin is freakin hilarious by the way

That pass was magic johnson-esque

Let's go DUBS!

It's either thursday or never.

there is another dominating team in the Bay Area

and that's the GSoM crew. You guys are rocking around the clock, east coast, west coast, canada, the u.s., there is always something good to read here. I really want to thank you for the connectedness you've made me feel while I live so far away from my teams. You guys are making all other b-ball websites look like the Dallas Mavericks!

Matt Barnes, again

I'm sorry, but I just have to give mad props once more to Matt Barnes. You want that guy on your team. I just read the Hoops Addict interview with him. Talk about saying the right thing, and it's obvious that he feels it. How many players in a contract year straight out say they want to stay with the team they are on.

And nobody is giving him props for twice holding back Stephen Jackson in game 2, especially the first time when Jax looked like he was about to throw down when Baron got shoved. Barnes is a leader and he's everywhere. I didn't have much thoughs about Mo Cheeks but hearing the way he disrespected Barnes, almost broke his confidence, he's in my black book.

I want a Matt Barnes jersey.
