Post Warrior Game 4 w/ Utah Jazz First of all I'm a Spurs fan since 2002 and always will be, but I jumped on

the bandwagon

I just finished watching the game and i watch about two quarters and watched the last 5 minutes. I have watched atleast a quarter every time they play in the postseason.

First of all who do they think they are Reggie Miller? They were down 91-97 and J-rich shoots a contested step back three luckily Barnes got the off rebound but couldnt complete the 3 point play. THen Fisher makes a BIG three. THen Baron takes a step back three w/ plenty of time WHY? Barnes gets another off. reb. but takes a unbalance three WHY? THey could of made it a 5point game played good D make it a 3-2pt game and play more good D.Then Barnes another unbalenced three then Baron and then Shut of the TV.

Point is GS was riding a wave of confidence and were knocking down fadeaway contested threes, but not clucth threes, threes in third fourth Q's as shown in other games like game 2 they are not clutch in the END of the game but in the middle

Pressure was on them and they became 3happy

    I agree 100%, I made a comment to my friends about how many prayers were being just chucked right up there. Not only did they shoot those threes in horrible situations, they didn't really look to pass the ball all that much. One pass or two, then the prayer three pointer.

    Thats not the whole reason they lost though. They played bad D, the officiating was a bit one-sided (to me anyways - look at how many borderline, almost phantom calls Utah got, and how many times Baron Davis got straight up violated for no call), and Kirilenko throwing his body into the whole GS team and getting calls helped. In addition, there were too many turnovers on silly plays were passes just fell out of guys hands. And they got killed on the glass - im not sure what the numbers were, but Boozer and the other Jazz players were just coming down with balls, and went for rebounds with more aggression.

    For the record, im not a fan of either team, but the GS Warriors have been fun to watch. I hope they win; but they'll have to play better than tonight. If not I'll get to watch the playoffs with the Spurs or the Suns against Utah. Not much of anything magical happening there.

    Well, the Warriors live by the 3, and die by the 3. After playing long minutes, and taking a physical beating from a team like Utah, due to the fact that Don Nelson was using a small lineup, a team tends to wear down and lose their legs. Thus, their accuracy tails off. This, combined with a bit of desperation caused them to take those shots. They lived by the 3 in game 3, and died by the 3 tonight.

    Baron Davis is clutch, he just didn't have it tonight. But he did hit that game winner against Utah earlier in the season. Monta Ellis is clutch, but he hasn't had it all playoffs. Barnes has been showing some clutchness lately, but he took an off balance three instead of setting himself. Harrington is clutch down low, but not shooting threes. And I hate to say it, but Jason Richardson is not clutch. And it really all depends on Davis, the Warriors go as he goes.

    The warriors aren't very good at clutch games... Plus they shot all those threes because they're not very tall either and driving it in would probably mean being blocked and all. The Warriors are a young team and they do rely on their threes but I do agree and see that most of the time if their threes aren't there during the game, it won't be there at all. If it is, then they'll be shooting threes all not. But when underpressure, the Warriors aren't able to handle it very well.

    No, they don't think they're Reggie Miller. They just play with heart that's all. Thank you very much!!

    our warriors don't play defense, which is why were down 3-1, but
