Rhom Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 They are hanging in there without Wall. If they had him, I have to believe they'd be winning this game handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Hawks stave off early disaster with solid 4th quarter defense. And it looks like Conley is going to go against the Dubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Grizzlies defense locking up the Warriors in the first half. Looking like we've got us a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 And just like that...*poof*...you just lost homecourt. Seems to be a reoccurring theme in the second round. The Grizz steal homecourt from the Dubs with a convincing win in game 2. All 4 favorites have now coughed up homecourt advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just saw a rerun of E:60, and it was Ernie Johnson's story. I always really liked the guy as a host of the NBA on TNT, but my respect for him as a person just skyrocketed. A tear or two may have been shed while I watched. For those who haven't seen it yet, it's a good watch. Also keep a box of tissues handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I still don't think the Warriors will lose more than or two games. A small hiccup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 This just illustrates the massive difference in the Grizzlies effectiveness on both ends when Conley is on the floor. I was hoping he would come back and at least get reacclimated in that game; I never expected him to play as well as he did. A heroic effort on his part. The Grindhouse is going to be insane come Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I am so happy for Conley. Such a smart and clutch player and such a big heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I still don't think the Warriors will lose more than or two games. A small hiccup. Eh, not so sure. The Grizzlies led that game start to finish, and that was in Oracle Arena. This is shaping up to be a war, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the Grizz do best, especially here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the Grizz do best, especially here at home. Yup, and he's earned that respect and love every step of the way. There were lots of people around here who griped when the organization (well, Lionel Hollins really) chose Conley over Kyle Lowry a few years back, and are singing a different tune today. Kyle has obviously developed into a fine player but Mike just fits this team perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Amazing how he has developed from "Greg Oden's friend from tOSU" to being the man on a legit playoff team. He was so bad during his rookie year. There were times when he didn't look like a potential backup PG much less a starter, leading some to believe the team had wasted yet another high draft pick. A lot of credit has to go to Coach Hollins in being instrumental to Mike's development. He was Lionel's pet project for a few years and obviously all that work has paid off.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Home court advantage aint nearly as important as some people think. Normally, I'd agree with you, but I think it's huge in this GS/Memphis series. Both teams have ridiculous home records. Stealing one in this series is significant, methinks and now the Warriors are in a position where they have to get that done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion the Perfect Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Normally, I'd agree with you, but I think it's huge in this GS/Memphis series. Both teams have ridiculous home records. Stealing one in this series is significant, methinks and now the Warriors are in a position where they have to get that done. You know, I' am confident the Dubs will get that done. Last night they were 6-25 beyond the arc(Splashbros 3-17) and had 20 turnovers. Good luck doing that every night against these guys. As for the "Grindhouse", The Dubs had a game there on March 27th. Results: 23 point win! Splashbros go 14-21 beyond the arc. Combined 66 pts, against Conley btw. Zebo and Gasol COMBINE for 23 pts 8 rebs. Shoot 40% from the field. Hats off to the Grizz, they've done an amazing job of controlling the pace so far, but expecting the Warriors to shoot like last night for the entire series is wishful thinking. And I'am sorry, but no way the Dubs lose all 3 games in Memphis. If the Grizz is going to pull off the upset, they're going to have to win another game in Oakland. Good luck with that.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So don't worry MH....WE GOT THIS!! I think you're probably spot on here, but I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. This has been such a dream season in so many ways. They never had a significant slide. They bounced back hard after every loss. Franchise record for wins in a season, season MVP, Green really should've won DPOY, etc, etc. It's just been so unWarriors like I'm having trouble trusting it.

Unless one of your most important players gets injured, your team will win the title. It's not even a competition this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Because no one reads the College Basketball thread this time of year and it still has relevance here; this tweet hurt to read... Brett Dawson @BDawsonRivals If you were born the day Rick Pitino left Kentucky for the Celtics, Happy Birthday. You're now old enough to vote. I feel just plain old.
