You know, it's funny because almost no one thought that to start the series. I can point to a dozen or so articles at least saying the Warriors were going to run away with it. Even Lowe who was much more measured than the others thought the W's would win.

Rox playing hack-a-Jordan. Jordan 10-28 from the line in the first half.

yeah, but rox couldnt capitalize. therefore, they deserve to lose this series.

The ironic thing is the Rox were 3-13 from the line themselves in the half, including 0-4 from Dwight.

Back to the hack-a-Jordan, down by 22? Please. That's not a strategy, that's just giving up on the concept of defense.

the great teams use it, and it almost helped the spurs win the series vs LAC. noticed how LA went small in the 4th quarter vs spurs in game 7.

haka is also a great way to conserve your timeouts. sometimes, teams use timeouts to stop the other team's momentum. haka is a less costly way to do this. jordan shooting 2 FTs takes about a minute long...

Sending Jordan to the line 28 times in the first half has nothing to do with conserving timeouts, SDC.

Big game in Memphis tonight. The Grizzlies have the Warriors on the ropes. Do they fight their way back to even or go back to NoCal down 1-3? Should be a dog fight.

Wiz down by 7 with 3 minutes to play. This must be hard for Wall to watch.

Pierce with an open three for the tie... but misses. :(

Then Kyle Korver gets away with a travel.

It was a valiant effort by Washington, but moral victories don't count in the playoffs.

Not just Gasol. Memphis shooting 37.5% as a team.

gasol has the most number of shot attempts, so it cannot be said that memphis did not try to bully the warriors inside. one guy who isnt taking enough shots is zach randolph.
