Wow I can’t believe the warriors lost. Oh wait yes I can. A bunge of no talent thugs who step up on the stage of the semi’s of the NBA playoff’s expecting to win at Utah. Fat chance. Maybe if they would play basketball I would have given them a chance. But seeing as how all they know is the 3-ball and how to take out their frustration via cheap shots and not with the ball they should have conceded the series right after Baron coldcocked AK in order to dunk on him. Nice try Oaktown, but Al Davis needed a few more “I’m an all-star” babies on the turf this coming season. Davis, Jackson and Barnes here’s your next curtain call.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the warriors. If (by chance) they come out on top; no questions asked, I’ll root for them. The Jazz have their number, however. Warriors run and gun too much; they’re slowing down (see game 4 which totally favored the Jazz style of play). GS is running out of Umph. GS believes but Utah believes MORE.

Hi Jerry
I’m the guy who wrote that “golden state was riding a ridiculously large wave of momentum.” Looks like the series shifts back to Utah after Golden State imploded and now, I’m 3/4 right.

As much as I want the Warriors to win, I’m picking the Jazz to win this in 6. Andrei Kirilenko is looking like his old self - that spells trouble for GSW. With AK back, Boozer in All-star form, Okur playing well, Deron Williams running the point and Sloan on the bench, this team is going to go deep in the West.

I guess in some ways you are like Chuck… cause after making a Warriors prediction you ate pie.

Enough said. The Jazz is the better team. I hate to say I told you so Jerry Maine. Don’t get too carried away with the flair. At the end of the day, the team with more substance players and a more structured offense will win it out. The Warriors seem lost in close games. If they get it going early, good for them. But you can’t always expect to have a rout in the playoffs. That’s where a structured offense comes in handy. The Mavs made a mistake of adapting to the 8th-seeded team’s style of play with those lineup changes and all, rather than imposing their presence and making the Warriors adjust to them, which is what the best team in the NBA (regular season standings-wise) is supposed to do. The Jazz knew better than the Mavs and stuck with their system. But i must admit, a lot of it has to do with the heady play of one of the league’s best point guards, Deron Williams. Either way, Jazz is the better team.

Hello:

Sorry to say, but GS has more experienced players in B-Diddy, Barnes(played for many a team who got to the playoffs), S. Jackson, who won a ring in 03 with S.A. (so did Okur with Detroit, but was a bench player in comparison), Al H who saw some time in Indy. Sure, I won’t put out the Jazz out to pasture; Derek Fisher-3 rings, Okur one ring, Harpring and AK, old warriors from the Stockton/Malone days when they were new to the club. Hmm…but I see Golden State whipping by. Utah vs. Golden State hopefully will go to 7 games, for it’s been fun so far to watch, especially for Hoops purists. Thanks….

“What Golden State did was ride a ridiculously large wave of momentum, and at some point, (like the last two games) was bound to slam into reality.”

Umm, they like…won. On Friday. Blew them out, looked fresh and hungry again, and got their bench guys going.

Otherwise you’re half right, they make a lot of bonehead plays and miss too many freebies, but their turnover rate is actually very good, and theyre forcing a lot more off their opponent, 24 more out of Utah after 3 games, and GS averaging a very tidy 14 TO per game, while SLoans boys are bleeding 22. They broke even with Dallas at about 15. The benchmark is Detroit, who average 12, then the Spurs at 13, and neither of those teams make as many plays in a game. They shoot so god damn quick they don’t have time to turn the ball over, lol.

How many three’s do you think Golden State are going to make against San Antonio?

My guess is about as many as they’ll make against the Pistons.
