Round 2 Playoff Q&A w/ Tim Kawakami 5/7/07 (Part 2 of 2)

Despite having to make the trek out to Salt Lake City yesterday, GSoM friend Tim Kawakami found some time to graciously do another great playoff Q&A with us. Tim always brings a fresh perspective to the Bay Area and Warriors sports scene. Make sure to make Tim's blog Talking…

Post Game 2 Links (Round 2)

Oh so close. Why is it that Biedrins came through in the clutch from the line but Pietrus and Baron didn't? The good thing is that after the collapse in Dallas in Game 5, the Warriors came out at home in Game 6 and blew them out. I'm looking for a similar showing tomorrow. The Jazz are playing…

Will the Bulls save face at home?

First look: Jason Maxiell looks a lot like Larry Johnson grabbing that rebound. Second look: When is Kirk Hinrich finally going to take his arm out of the air? Third look: Is Maxiell’s arm really bigger than Tyrus Thomas’ head? With the Bulls returning to their home floor, Game 3…

PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 3

Just show me something, Bulls. There's only so many ways to post 'gawd damn they stink'. The margins of defeat have been so bad that home court alone won't make up for it. They have to play a LOT better as a team, and if the core guys don't play well it won't really matter what Skiles does in…

The Ballad of Nocioni

Whether you love him or hate him, you always notice Andres Nocioni when he’s on the court, whether he’s throwing an elbow, flopping, getting dunked on, or (occasionally) hitting a jump shot. Apparently, he’s also something of a folk hero: Download audio file (mjhnocioni.mp3) I…

Delfino may skip international play this summer

Carlos Delfino is apparently upset that Argentina’s national coach has not contacted him about playing in the FIBA Americas tournament this summer: “I am not jealous,” Delfino said. “I only want to know the plan. I want to play basketball every day and even more for the…

Lamar Odom update

In response to Titi's request, here's my take on Lamar Odom now -- and Kwame Brown, about whom Titi also inquired: Both had their seasons fall short of what they could've been because of injury, but one I've come to have more respect for and belief in over the course of the past season, one I've…

Ben Wallace sits out practice with back spasms

From Chris McCosky’s blog: Joanne Gerstner was at Bulls practice today and she reports that Ben Wallace sat out with back spasms. She said he was walking real slowly, clearly uncomfortable. They will determine his status at game time, but Ben not being able to play might not be great news for…

A Rivalry Remembered: Bulls fans

In honor of the renewed Detroit/Chicago rivalry, I asked several Detroit bloggers and DBB readers what their lasting memory was of the old school rivalry between these two storied franchises. Today, we look at the rivalry from the eyes of the enemy, as a couple of Chicago fans weigh in. Warning:…

We teach them young in Detroit

Thanks to J.E. Skeets for passing this along — he’s always had a way with the YouTubes, you know? If you notice, that’s not one of the real commercials, but a nicely done fake — I love how the kid just about loses it halfway through. The picture below was sent in by…

Playoff Recap: Game 1: Warriors 117, Jazz 127 - Where to even begin...

That was just pathetic. On the road or not, there were so many chances for the Warriors to run away with this game it was ridiculous. Was it getting us getting out rebounded 60 to 32? Yes. Was it the Jazz's superior distribution of the ball vs. the Warriors one on one style play? Yes. Was it the…

Wow, What a Game!

The Utah Jazz just defeated the Golden State Warriors in overtime to take a 2-0 series lead. This is one of those games that has legend written all over it. Not only did it have intense, end-to-end action (well, at least until the overtime period), but it has so many ongoing subplots. Derek…

Derek Fisher comes through......

Warriors versus Utah Jazz Playoff Series I played with Derek Fisher for three years while playing for the Lakers and he is one of the most professional people I have ever met in any field.  When I got to the Lakers Derek was going through a very serious foot injury and was on the…
