Sun, 19 May 2013 21:19:33 -0400

Sweep! It’s not just three wins in a row, it’s what the O.co staff is going to do to the concourse for only the third time this season. If the team can do it again, ownership has promised to increase the mop budget at the trade deadline.

nbaoffseason:

“I told Mike Woodson a thousand times that I don’t pick and roll on Shabbos! Saturday is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don’t work on defense, I don’t pass the ball, I don’t hedge on screens, I don’t rotate on shooters, I don’t turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don’t pick and roll!”

(Thankfully for the Knicks, tipoff will occur just after sunset tonight.)

You’re out of your element, Prigioni!

Steph Curry’s outside shots were too much like his mouthpiece in Game 6: half-in, half-out.

As of today, we never have to look at these fucking guys ever again.

Whoops.

Just another clean block by San Antonio.

Very appropriate that Lil Wayne showed up tonight, since the Warriors backcourt spent the whole game in a coma. Silver lining is that, just like Thompson and Curry, Weezy had no stroke.

Brandon Rush, already throwing in the towel.

Spurs-Warriors tickets were available for less than 30 bucks from StubHub tonight. I blame San Antonio’s Jock Jams 1999 arena DJ for destroying the fan experience.

Joey: It's funny how the pacers best players are named Roy, Paul, George, David and Lance
Joey: It's like a 70s prog rock band
Sean: Facing Tyson, JR, Pablo, Carmelo, Kenyon, Iman, and Amar'e
Sean: 70s prog rock band versus Berkeley Montessori preschool class

Congratulations to The Black Falcon, Harrison Barnes, for making the All-Rookie first team. Barnes averaged nine points and four rebounds a game during the regular season, but has upped that to 16 and 6.6 in the playoffs, as well as emerging as a disruptive force on defense.

While the Warriors’ tanking last year was distasteful, Barnes has justified the last two months of garbage basketball in 2012. It was indeed a top-heavy draft; five of the top seven picks made up the All-Rookie first team, with Barnes the lowest selection at #7. Sorry, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Thomas Robinson!

Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green each also received a vote, though if the balloting had been held two weeks later, Green had a real shot at the second team. The other Warriors rookie, Kent Bazemore was disappointed he wasn’t named to the All-Celebration team, mainly because it doesn’t exist.

“It’s not as bad as it was before, just tried to practice [Saturday] or do some individual work, and I just started throwing up a little bit, couldn’t finish the workout. Tried to practice with the team today and the same thing [happened].”

- Luol Deng. Can someone in Chicago please, please tell Luol Deng he doesn’t have to come back? Clearly Coach Thibodeau is still willing to send a vomiting, post-spinal-tap Deng through practice, and the team doctors stopped acknowledging the Hippocratic Oath years ago. Could Rahm Emanuel step in? Oprah? Ferris Bueller?

Our friend Dave … aka Dave Chappelle … one of 19,000+ sporting a #WeAreWarriors shirt tonight. 3rd quarter underway.

Warriors should have worn blouses tonight.
