Going forward, Jackson has got to get rotations without Curry on the floor. You could tell he was gassed in the 4th and managed to find some legs in the OT. I know Thompson fouled out but jeez...every single second of the game?

Hahahaha
I had my TV turned down pretty low and I was on voice chat with some friends while the game was on.. and I could STILL hear that screaming lady. Like, that's literally all I could hear.
Two awesome games tonight though, hoping that keeps up.

Oh right. I guess you DID know that was coming.
ROFL.
Greg Popovich's post game interview about Ginobli was hilarious.
http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2013/05/07/0041200231-sas-popovich-postgame.nba/index.html
"Pop, could you explain the range of emotions you had between the final two threes from Manu?"
"[Chuckles] That's great... you're a very observant man. [chuckles] I went from... trading him on the spot [laughs]... to wanting to cook him breakfast tomorrow. That's the truth. [Shakes head] And when I talk to him he'll just say 'Dis is what I do.' I stopped coaching him a longgggg time ago.".

Jack has been so brutal since game 4 of the Nuggets series.

So Kidd's gotta be approaching some sort of playoff record: 137 minutes without a point. Averaging 1.7 pts and 2.1 assists whilst playing 24.4 minutes a game in the playoffs so far.

they were playing zone?

If by zone you mean get lost on a non-screen, then sure.
|
As was explained on overtime Jackson probably told the Warriors to switch on every screen, Harrison Barnes never actually got screened so he assumed that they wouldn't switch, Jack assumed that they would switch since a screen was attempted and so he left Ginobili. Still kinda his fault but it's not just his fault really.

Kinda wish we would have gotten to see Stephen Jackson posting and backing some of these young Warriors later if the matchup calls for it. Would have been awesome.

I don't think it's fair to point the finger at Jack only, as it was more of a breakdown in communication between multiple players. I think it was just a really well-drawn play by Popovich that was executed very well by the Spurs. I'm sure Popovich knew that the Warriors were told to switch everything, as teams always are in those situations, and that it was no accident that the play involved three players running by each other in a way to force a difficult read by the Warriors.

As I look at it again, I actually think Barnes should be blamed for being the only one who didn't switch.

Plus, if you look at the momentum, if Jack had tried to stick on Ginobili he would have just gotten blown by off the dribble while fat Boris Diaw clears an easy path for a lay in.

I disagree, because he was running to fast to switch without contact. He was literally going in the opposite direction that Ginobili was going to leak to at full speed.

It's funny, if Ginobli misses that shot, despite it being a good look, we'd be blaming him for the mental breakdown (on that terrible, terrible, terrible 3) instead of Jack.
I guess it's just the way things go, but Ginobli really does deserve criticism for putting them there. If he takes a 24 second violation, there's almost zero chance for the Warriors to win without fouling a Spur (who's likely to make FTs.) He turned a 90% win into like a 40% win. And now he's the hero.

Aww fuck. Joey Crawford is reffing this game.
Easily the worst ref in the league. Guy wants to be the star of the show.

The David West pushoff was a foul, even though Carmelo was acting a lot. Not sure about the Stevenson one or that travel, but would have to see it again.
The thing about Crawford is that he's terrible, but the Knicks are the much whinier team so they're probably more likely to get Ts from him.
Knicks are doing a much better job getting open mid-range shots

Uh... ok, maybe the Knicks are getting special treatment today.\
Joey's the one making the right call.
