Post Game 4 Links

I think it's time for one big Marv Albert:

Game 4 Rewind [NBATV]

This series is far from over, but I'm expecting the Warriors to finish off the Dallas Mavericks for a monumental upset.

WE

GOT

THIS!

Still, there is a very recent precedent of a higher rated seed in the NBA Playoffs coming back from a 1-3 deficit to win a 1st round playoff series. Last season Kobe, Phil and the rest of the LA Fakers were up 3-1 on Steve "what's defense?" Nash and the Phoenix Sunny Delight. It looked like the Lakers were about to pull off a big time upset (nothing like this Warriors' series with the Mavs, of course), but then they went Sprewell and choked big time. SBNation Hoops brother Wes unfortunately knows exactly what I'm talking about.

But in the end it really boils down to what Matt Steinmetz noted post game 4 on KNBR. Dating back to last season the Warriors have beaten the Mavericks 9 out of 11 times. So now the Mavs are going to win three straight against the Warriors including one in Oakland? Um, don't think so.

Not in our house.

And with that we drop these URL's like BD dropping last second buzzer beaters:

• Bhattacharya: Warrior Reverie [Hoopsworld]:
  It seems so long ago, a time and place when the Golden State Warriors were just simply dreaming of the possibility of making the playoffs and ending their wretched dozen-year drought. They were fighting the ghosts of Todd Fuller and the shadows of RunTMC all while looking to prove media types wrong, that their style of play would indeed seal an era of futility in the annals of Warriors history.
  Actually I still feel like I'm dreaming and I'm still fighting those ghosts.

• Warriors Fans Are Hella Full of Crap [Larry Brown Sports]:
  So what the heck is up with all the action at the Oracle Arena? What’s up with the frenzy, the excitement? The Warriors are a second thought. An afterthought. Matter of fact, the Warriors aren’t even thought of up North. Nobody in the Bay Area cares about them. All that matters are the Giants and Niners, or Raiders and A’s. Nobody there gives a rats ass about the Warriors.
  Wow, someone hella doesn't do their homework or hella hasn't been to GSoM over the past TWO years. Or maybe this is just Charles Barkley under a fake name showing that he can write hella better than we ever thought he could. At any rate, make sure to show this SoCal hater hella "love" on his blog.

  They [Mavericks] don't get calls early and they play the rest of the game assuming they'll never come -- refusing to force the refs to make calls.
  Wes is a good man, but I have no idea what games he's been watching. The Mavs (as expected being the #1 seed and a playoff tested team) have been getting a lot of questionable trips to the free throw line off mostly flops and poor acting, while the Warriors get hammered without any whistles.
