Post Game 2 Links (Round 2)

Oh so close. Why is it that Biedrins came through in the clutch from the line but Pietrus and Baron didn't? The good thing is that after the collapse in Dallas in Game 5, the Warriors came out at home in Game 6 and blew them out. I'm looking for a similar showing tomorrow. The Jazz are playing very well right now, but the Warriors are great at home. Dubs fans will help get this series tied 2-2 going back to Utah for Game 5. Friday and Sunday at the Oracle Arena will be louder than the Jazz have ever heard.

Things just got away from the Warriors last night

He (Baron) was like, "Once they get a taste of these fans, they're not going to win here. So all we have to do is steal a game out there, because they're not winning here."
And he was right. There's no winning over there.

But there are points to be made about reviving the Warriors, and I'm here to make them...
* It does come down to Monta Ellis doing something beneficial to the team from here on out, starting in Game 3 tomorrow before the warm folks of Oracle Arena.
I hate to put it on the kid, who looks and sounds so confused (and is playing so scared). But you wonder why Davis, Jason Richardson and Barnes looked so tired at the end of Game 2 last night?

Sometimes in life you get what you deserve. The Warriors certainly did Wednesday night. Given endless opportunities to put the Jazz away, they kept giving them hope. The Jazz answered with clutch play after clutch play. The Ws have made it this far based upon their hunger. Right now, they don't look like the team that wants it more. The bandwagon may have hit a bump and thrown out a few fans, but there's no reason to panic yet. We'll learn what this team is made of Friday night in Oakland. Until then, put all the sharp objects in another room and follow the jump.

Down but definitely not out.

Warriors can do this!

The Warriors have a great chance of turning this series around with the next two at home. I don't think people realize how bad the Warriors were on the road this year and how good the Jazz are at home. The Warriors should have one Game 2, but even if they did, it would have been one of the ugliest wins of the year.

With that said, they still had a chance in TWO consecutive road games until they fell apart at the end of both. They have to correct the non-existent rebounding and sloppy turnovers. And a few less threes wouldn't hurt either. I have all of the confidence in the world that the Warriors can come back, and I know that they do to.

not referring to

these links, but if most of the media fall off the wagon, we're right back to pre-The Series. And we all know that weird things happen when underdog magic and Oracle mojo collide...

I don't like Marcus Thompson

at first i thought he was tight, but their are two articles that stick out in my mind everytime i see his name. The article up here that is saying the warriors are done and an article way back during the playoff push where he basically says Baron davis or jason richardson will be gone next year.

wtf?!?!?! i hate that foo

The Warriors have got to play better.

Nellie said it's not the strategy. Monta has got to break out of his shell. Mickael Pietrus and Andris Biedrins have got to step up. Everybody has got to play better down the stretch.

In other words, they need a FIRE lit under their ass*s. Let's give it to them tonight fans. Go Warriors!!!
