    The Rockets are moving in their screens also. I think the refs are just over looking it.

    Hope the series doesn't turn-out the same way as '97 WCF. I was there for the game 6 bear hug screen on the 3.

    Maybe it's not a bad idea to start making a big deal about moving screens because Curry is way deadlier than Stockton from 3.

    Well, I hope it turns out the same through Game 4. After that, let's hope it takes a different turn.:grin:

    I actually feel better about this series than I did that one. The Rockets didn't really look good in Games 1 or 2 at the Delta Center. At least in this series, they had a legit chance to steal both games in Oakland, especially last night.

    I live in the bay area and people have been talking all week about the Warriors in the finals. It's making me sick. I went to game one, the crowd was insane, I really really hope you guys can match it!

    I've been impressed by GSW's crowd.

    Lets hope ours IN THE STADIUM is as good!

    Any recommendations on somewhere that does signs same-day or next-day (preferably inside the loop)? Not seeing any options online.

    I'm not sure if they can do big signs, but Copy.com is a solid place in general.

    It's on Westheimer and Montrose right by El Real Tex-Mex

    I'd love to see a Refs You Suck chant before the game even starts. :)

    Nah, I'd direct it at the Warriors first. Then if the refs make some bad calls, go after them.

    I have no doubt the crowd will be in full tilt mode.

    Having the stadium tell the refs they suck, especially before the game starts, is probably not going to get you much consideration on the calls. Although it didn't seem to hurt GS and they yelled it during games where they got the benefit of the majority of calls/no calls, so who knows.

    As for the posters about screens etc. , would be great for a couple of large posters with pictures of the most egregious errors/fouls of the first two games with "meme" type on them.... Something like "Got Rules?", "NBA - Where Bad Officiating Happens" / "Golden State - Where Favoritism Happens" or something more specific to the plays...

    1) Curry's two handed shove screen while his man is driving by

    2) Ariza getting tackled and held

    3) the off Curry out of bounds debacle.

    Baseline/end zone crowds under the basket:

    Buy window screens
    Spray paint some yellow
    Spray paint some red
    Move them in a circular motion during free throws

    Do people in the bay area notice how much press GS is getting and how little respect Houston is given? The ESPN narrative is incredibly one sided. GS may be the better team(at very least the healthier one), but Houston has given them all they can handle despite playing without 2.5(Dwight was at 60% last night) key players/starters.

    Well, this was a waste of time (and $30). Placed the order w/ Copy dot Com on Westheimer using email/telephone yesterday since I wasn't able to get over there -- they said the people who could mount the image on foam core were out until Tuesday, but that they could print it on a 20x24 poster board and I could pick it up today. Went to get it a few hours ago and it turns out they'd just printed it on the flimsiest piece of paper imaginable... you couldn't even hold it up without the ends just rolling up onto themselves. I might try to see if I can find one of those self-adhesive foam boards and mount it that way if there's a game 6 (not currently planning on going to game 4), but overall grrrrrrrrr. Very irritating.

    Did you complain? If they told you they'd print it on poster board and didn't I'm sure they would refund your money. I've gone through copy.com for various jobs and they've generally provided great customer service. I know it's a hassle but at that price I'd go back in and speak with someone.

    You could have made the sign yourself. Purchased the items from either walmart or office max. But I feel your pain. I would have been livid.
