He looks dazed

Barnes 6 stitches and back at it!

curry is really compensating with these floaters

xp that's awesome but i hope dude got concussion checked

Yah for real

Warriors offense is stuck

Pops timeouts have been so perfectly timed all game

wanted Spurs to win series cause think they have a better shot at beating Heat, but was rooting for Dubs to force gm 7 cause this is an entertaining match up.

I hope Barnes is ok :/ had to leave with headaches after playing for a while

I hope he's okay too. He shouldn't have been out there.

Its cool ya'll we are paying Andris Beidrins and Richard Jefferson 20 mill between the two of them next year.

ps thank you for taking rjeff off our hands

awesome run by the warriors

ya that team is sweet but im so conflicted cause i hate jackson but then im worried that if he does bad hell be back on tv

Dubs fans are awesome, and speak to the quality of fan/player longterm interaction and experience that gets diminished by ether-floating population of "nba fans".

nice subtweet

haha honestly imho its the corporate presence in the lower bowl of most stadiums that kills the live experience

I went to a dubs game once when they sucked and it was still a p good vibe

true on corp presence (still remember getting shushed by some rich hag for having the temerity to CHEER during a game like this was the fucking opera), but i've been to stadiums where upper level isn't much better. Lot of non-fans just looking for something to do esp during a random cold night in the winter. oh hey my friend isn't using his tix whattaya say let's go check it out and then if we're bored we can go to that bar over by there ok cool sounds good. fuck you. also no girlfriends/boyfriends should be allowed if they're not fans, you can check your phone constantly somewhere else.

this is why hemisphere arena/alamodome-era spurs games were the most fun for me growing up, less corporate bullshit, more fat drunk ppl yelling

scuse me, hemisfair arena

ya the old boston garden was a thunderdome

lil nug from this lowe piece abt conley http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9272912/the-evolution-mike-conley-jr-memphis-grizzlies-point-guard

The Grizzlies ranked 21st in points per possession when they traded Gay. They ranked just outside the top 10 after the Gay trade, and they've actually increased their scoring rate in the playoffs; only Miami, San Antonio, and Golden State have averaged more points per possession, per NBA.com. The Grizz are actually in a virtual tie with the Warriors and Spurs after their Game 4 win, meaning Memphis, once a traveling clank-fest, has been something like the league's second-best postseason offense. They cut their turnover rate and started getting to the line more, trends that would offset their slight decline in offensive rebounding without the downgrade in athleticism that came with the Prince/Gay exchange.

Ha gay sucks

totally

conley has definitely seemed really solid from what i've seen of him play

i liked that in the analyses i've been reading they've been v strict about calculating memphis' offensive stats from a post-gay date only

i just imagine hollinger sitting in his memphis office poring over spreadsheets, rubbing his hands like birdman

im sure when he first heard he was interviewing for the job he started fantasizing abt trading gay for anyone at all

I want to see Grizzlies/Heat pretty bad

we''ll finally seee who's right about bruising interior offense being the heat's achilles heal

itd be really cool if the griz were just a lil better from 3

Congrats to my buddy for holding in his fart in the elevator when we were stuck for ten minutes last night. Could have been brutal

damn i didnt know that conley was ambidextrous

I think a lot of left handed players are by default.

Conley's post-Rudy stretch has been the best he's ever been, at least subjectively

i wonder if an indy/griz finals would be the lowest rated ever

Glad pacers getting a few calls after that travesty of officiating last game

Btw I turned that one off right after the sequence that got the yakety sax treatment!

geroge hill being back is huge for them no one else can dribble or pass

I think there's enough interest in the league that it wouldn't be all time and I think some ppl would tune in just to be like who are these dudes and who took out Lebron Kobe and Durant

george hill! david west! the other gasol! a bunch of guys!

Zbo yall

Augustin! Allen! The NBA Finals featuring blown point blank layups!

mike woodson just said 18ft shots were good shots for them, pacers nodding

i wonder what hibberts hands are made of

soapstone? seaweed?

Loooool KMart chair-pulling West.

Sadly OTM, this is one of the worst-dribbling teams I've ever seen.

Ian mahinmi had Kidd guarding him, g hill looked right at them for a solid three seconds and was like no sorry not passing to u
