I had a dream that I was waiting for a game at Mosswood and Stephen Jackson came and sat next to me.  I gave him props for his accomplishments and he kept it cool.  Things got weird after that, but the first part seemed very realistic.  I think the Warrior Nation is channeling vibes across the globe!

Getting spiritual here!

GO DUBS!!!!

LETS GO DUBS

LETS GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLEAR THE GLASS: dampier and diau are useless except for one thing: rebounding. the warriors need to make sure they are completely useless. clearing the class may also lead to fast breaks which in turn will make dampier and diau stay on the bench.

KNOCK DOWN OPEN JUMPERS: this is key to every game the warriors play since they're a jump shooting team, but it's especially key in a playoff road game. the shots will likely be there due to either baron's penetration or the fast break, they just need to find the bottom of the net.

It will be interesting to see what tactics Dallas tries to use to slow down the pace, and if nellie can counter it with anything.

I don't think I've ever seen a series like this before that needed so much strategy from the coaching aspect. Regardless of what Dallas says, this is a well balanced series, that should be hard fought. Nothing will come easy to Dallas. Absolutely nothing.

I pray the Warriors win tonight. I can't give them the benefit of the doubt until they shift home court advantage in to their favor.

Playoffs in '07, baby! *It Happened.*

Speed the game up.

Rebound.

Frustrate their starters.

You can bet that Avery will do everything he can to slow the game down like bringing in Damp, Diop, Wilis, fouling, timeouts.  If you watched Tuesday's game, then you know what I mean.

LET'S DO THIS!

P.S. I hope TNT does those closeup HD shots of the women in the crowd in Dallas.... because they are smokin hotttt. Out of all the NBA cities... Dallas/Phoenix/Miami have the hottest women in their  crowds. Coincidence that they are some of the best teams in the league?

RUN TMC!

Also managed to find a 'The City' jersey in a local hip-hop shop nearby; the only had #34; I asked the shopkeeper if it was fake and he told me "They don't make fake Dunleavy jerseys!" HAHA.

GO WARRIORS!!!

Can you guys believe all these favoritism calls that the Mavs are getting from the refs?! I cannot believe half of those flops are getting called. But that's what you earn when you get as many wins as the Mavs throughout the season.

RUN TMC!

plus, noticing warriors can't match them in the post...hopefully the Mavs haven't realized that yet.

let's go dubs!!!!!!!!

I hate Barkley.

I think if the Dub's can get over these jitters, even if Dallas can figure out a better lineup, we can do this. Cmon WARRIORS!!!!

haha.

BOoM. JRich made himself for that TO with a clean block. boom, sit down devharris!!!!

PUT UP THE W!

STFU ANYONE WHO THINKS DEVIN HARRIS WAS FOULED ON THAT PLAY.

RUN TMC!

AHAHAHAHAHHA.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

WHO WE BE?

Screw all the haters

magic johnson:  baron is like a little brother....

kenny smith:  if he's your little brother then he's a cousin of mine....

I love the coverage, constant replies of the rare Dallas moments of good ball.  Nothing on the Warriors until the game is over and the national networks finally stop catering to the fair weather fan and realize that the DUBS ARE FOR REAL!!!!!

Baron Davis is cold-blooded!  Those two threes were insane!  So casual, yet so definitive.  Yes I am going to shoot a 3 right in your face without hesitating and oh yes I am going to do it again.

Awesome!

At halftime Barkley said we are the worst team in the playoffs and all of our regular season wins were flukes. First, I think the Warriors are far superior to the Lakers, Raptors, Nets, and Magic, so that first statement truly irked me.

Second, this win showed it was no fluke. But, after the win, Barkley talked about what was wrong with the Mavs instead of giving the Warrriors their props. Be a man Barkley, the Warrriors are one of the best teams in these playoffs!

they sorta remind me of the pierce, walker celtics of a few years back.  like no real structure except to just play at random

GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno what the hell you do if you're Avery Johnson. You can't win at the Warriors game, and you can't win at your own. Hell, you just can't beat the Warriors! :)

what exactly does "1 dub." stand for?

(and yes, he was dead serious)

It's a weird situation.  The Mavs really do look like they are in trouble.  But it is a 7-game series and it is a 1-8 seed, so history and statistics are against us.  What do you do if you are the Warriors?

And I am finding less and less to like in Dirk's game.  The guy is a machine and can score with incredible efficiency.  But I think his coldness is a mask for a lack of heart and passion. He looked like Biedrins tonight, except for at least Biedrins was making an effort.  Dirks' game is basically boring and non-confrontational.  How about when he caught that pass under the basket in the second quarter and instead of just slamming it down he did this weird hesitation and got the foul.  It was almost like he was thinking "it is statistically better for me to go to the line"  Maybe, but an emphatic dunk would have done a lot more to take the wind out of the dubs sails.  

The Warriors just weren't scared.  Even after the Mavs erased their lead so fast and efficiently in the second (I can tell you I was scared!).  I don't want to get ahead of myself or make any crazy predictions but holy crap it really looked like the Warriors owned the Mavs tonight.

Let's keep it up!

And I've been lamenting how I don't have cable and haven't been able to watch any ball this season, but now I'm glad.  Man, the national media coverage is worse than the refs, worse than ever.  They are so uninformed!  Isn't that there job to study the league.  There aren't that many teams.  It's pathetic.  And the constant bias.  It's so obvious they are just shilling jerseys.  How many times did we have to watch Dirk's one dunk tonight?

I hope the Warriors send the Mavs home in a coffin.  Barkley can throw the dirt on it.

Also, ESPN gives Nellie and his OAKLAND team no love... their summary article is dripping w/ disdain for the Warriors & what they've done this season.  Lame national media.  At least we have FSN & GSoM to keep us updated

Anyway, I think the recap here might be a little tough on J-Rich.  He didn't have a good game, but I think it was better than his stats, and definitely not worse.  His cut the the basket (on the assist from Jax), the put-back in traffic, and obviously his block on Harris were big time plays.  I know we're all a little disappointed cause he didn't come up huge in his first playoff game, but let's not be too tough on the guy.

Also, I can only imagine that Damp played so few minutes cause he's still not healthy.  If that's the case, it's the single greatest contribution he's made to the Warriors in his career.
