    Yes , when Dwight is sitting, its pretty awesome to have our starting unit from last year (which was pretty damn good) go against other teams' second units.

    If Dwight hit his half of his FTs, there wouldn't be OT.

    we could do this all day. if howard hits 65% of his fts, our total wins would be around 43.

    Dwight just did not show up for this one. Missed some FTs bad (so did Harden) and just kept shooting blanks the whole game. They gave up WAY too many offensive rebounds, and they missed so many EASY tip-ins. The officiating was pretty bad but it was really for both teams. The T on McHale should never have happened b/c of the offensive foul after the buzzer at the end of the first Q. That and a hack on Dwight in the 2Q I think went no-called.

    Jones better watch out. DMo might steal his job as our starting PF.

    We knew what were getting before hand lol so no need to keep playing yhe IF game. Howard wont ever shoot 65% or better from the foul line. And Jones looks like he is on that same path a freethrows are concerned.

    His x-ray is negative. Let's hope the MRI will be negative too.

    Warriors would not favored to win against in a 7 game series. All those missed shots and questionable calls wont happen again.

    I don't know about worst game this year since he still got 4 blocks and 20+ rebounds, but yeah offensively it may have been his worst.

    I'm not surprised though. This wasn't just a typical back-to-back situation for him. He was clearly much more energized in the Lakers game for obvious reasons so he was probably drained yesterday.

    Unfortunately for the Warriors, we don't play back to back games in the playoffs.

    That's exactly how it felt to me. They came out flat for the first half bc they were emotionally spent from the night before. Too bad they couldn't pull out the win, but for as poorly as they played for most of the game, I'm happy they gave themselves a chance to win it in the end. You know you are a good team when at your worst, you still come very close to beating GSW on the road.

    Hated to lose like that, but all I care about now is that Harden's OK. I hope he is. I'm not going to say anything about Jeremy managing to run into him. What's the point? **** happens.

    well depends how many/the tone, but leave it to some annon rep hate to make a bigger leap than one of those skii jumpers and accuse of me of linking racism and texas LOL.

    I thought it was obvious it was about how the number of lin only fans is greater than parsons only fans, and the cfs feuding all that. then again, those that try to find racism in nothing are often the most bigoted, like LOF's accusing McHale of racism, but this idiot can't see he/she's just as bad. sad

    No one is even mentioning the crappy officials. If it weren't for them we would have easily won this game by a good 7-8 points. smh

    Tony Brothers smh. The Dwight dunk late in 4th quarter should've been an And-1. He got smacked.
