TOP is just the saddest little boy in the whole school... Lebron stole his lunch money and now he's crying about it. What a pathetic little man you must be.

Of course. The refs were terrible and Memphis played as bad as they could. How could I forget.

I didn't blame the refs, quit your whining. But if you thought Memphis was playing good ball, you weren't watching.

I know you think Golden State just had a 2 game mini slump and Memphis' defense had nothing to do with it, but you're wrong. Last night was not a good effort by Memphis.

Didn't watch all of it truthfully, but saw the majority of the first half and the 3rd quarter. GS was just a lot more active on defense. Bogut finally played defense, and GS was more aggressive trying to get out on the break. They hit Memphis early and won, the 3/4 were probably close or in Memphis's favor.

I'm not a fan of either teams. I made my prediction after game 1. It's obviously wrong. I hope every series goes to game 7. I simply thought GS would be ready to play it's best which obviously Memphis is doing a good job (at least in game 2 and 3) of stopping.

I'm sleepy and grumpy after staying up late to watch that **** show. I've never said Memphis should win the series or that they're the more talented team.

It's just super annoying that after half a decade of this style of play, they still don't get credit for what they accomplish. Because they don't have a flashy play style, it's assumed every good team that loses to Memphis is just having an off night. After 92 games holding opponents to 94 ppg, it's not a fluke.

Memphis has always had games like Gm 1 and Gm 4, but that doesn't mean that they got lucky in Games 2 and 3.

+1 Cause I totally get what you're saying. My only point, and something I mentioned in both losses, was defense. Bogut had to step up. Lee needed to play some good minutes. Speights/Ezeli didn't do a ton, but the 5-10 minutes they get are important. GS can't rely on offense alone, which is what they can do sometimes when they are bombing jumpers on the other end. They were able to make Gasol/Randolph have a meh night. GS had a great night shooting, just turned it over a lot (which Memphis deserves continual credit for).

At the end of the day GS is a better team. All teams have off nights, all players can have off nights. I definitely wasn't saying Memphis looked it's finest, but the same way you give crap to others about giving credit to the Grizz, you have to give credit for GS coming back and adjusting after two rough game. Memphis does well when GS struggles on offense. Game 5 should be awesome.
