[Flawed Genius]

Barnes is great

 

[Geddy Lee]

Klay and Curry on hold.

 

[Chadwiko]

So many 3 pointers being made.

 

[bourbons]

STeph looks to be moving much better today

Dunno about that, Green making him play D and usually torching him

 

[Geddy Lee]

Don't know how we're close to be honest

 

[Geddy Lee]

Barnes is keeping us in this.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Great defence to end the quarter.

Shaping up to be another nice close one

Carmelo Anthony is one of the best pressure performers in the NBA and has been since his rookie year (far, far better in this regard than Kobe). But no-one ever talks about 'Melo being some sort of super clutch performer. I just don't understand why Bryant gets all these accolades as an pressure performer...he's not.
Nothing separates Bryant from his peers.

Now do you see why he's never talked about in the same regard as the very best in the NBA

[Geddy Lee]

FFS backcourt so cold.

 

[Oliver King]

Seem to be losing it here atm.

 

[Oliver King]

Ginobli misses both free throws.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Seriously disappointing quarter.

 

[stewie griffen]

Heart unhappy, BigBetty happy so far

 

[stewie griffen]

 

[Geddy Lee]

Now or never Warriors.

 

[Oliver King]

Where's Confident Klay from a couple of games ago?

 

[Geddy Lee]

Too good Spurs. Great Defence.

 

[Drummer_19]

T-Mac sighting.

 

[stewie griffen]

Game over.

Dubs gotta get Curry and Klay into the game in Game 6.

Also... Patty sighting

 

[Vincent Chase]

PATTY!

We're not looking good for the next game although Mark Jackson did rotate the bench a lot so maybe there's a bit of energy for the next game. Lee Biedrins Jefferson Bazemore and Machado I see got a run the first three when the game was on the line which was surprising! Curry looked a shell of himself out there. Parker just burned him at will. Bogut looked limpy too or maybe that's how he runs. The team that was thought injury affected in the Spurs now looks the fitter more likely team. Either way I really really want a game seven. Get it done Warriors.

You guys (Dubs fans) should be pretty chuffed with your team, whatever the outcome of Game 6.

Imagine your team with a fully fit Curry, Lee & Bogut, and with Brandon Rush healthy and available.

Curry/Thompson/Barnes/Lee/Bogut, with Jack/Rush/Green/Landry/Ezeli off the bench- you'd be a chance against anyone, Miami included.

If you can somehow turn Biedrins's large contract into a useful asset, you'll be even scarier, particularly if Barnes keeps developing.

 

[King_Tredrea]

Brandon Rush will be great for us next season. Another efficient shooter into the rotation and a very good defender.

Jarrett's pushed his price up of late and he's a free agent after this, Landry has a player option as well

20 mill on Biedrins and RJ next season
