Game #4: Golden State Warriors v Dallas Mavericks

[neneshubby]

Man, this was soooo much fun. Seems like a century ago for us Warriors fans.

[giammarcobrusco]

barone veramente impressionante in questa serie...

non ci sono parole...

<3

[vfgjhj]

1:05, magic.

[dorkod]

A Warriors playoff game must've been the shit to be at.

[woutakasinistra]

Just fast break after fast break, amazing

[TheRatedIX7]

The Warriors let the Mavs have it in this series. Even Non-Warrior fans were going for them against the Mavs...and I was one of them. They were too fast for the Mavs

[danynumero6]

@TheRatedIX7 And we were so close to beating Utah too. I know the series was 4-1 but the series was a lot closer than the score indicated.

[DaRulleZzZ]

no doubt warriors was so good team

[MauryDann73]

As a Blazers fan, I find the passion of the Warriors fans familiar and invigorating as our team gets ready to try and smack Dallas out of the first round.

[hancan88]

Why do people keep saying San Antonio is a smaller market? Its the 7th most populated city in the US with over 1.4 million people. Miami and Boston arent even in the top 10...

[cipher0]

@hancan88 Greater Boston has 4.5 million people. Greater Miami has 5.5 million people. Greater San Antonio has 2.1 million people.

[davd1986]

Instead of promoting exciting teams/fans like the Warriors, Blazers and Kings, the NBA keeps hugging the money, Lakers, Celtics and Heat. Pathetic. No wonder the league is losing fans in the US.

[neneshubby]

@davd1986 Actually I hate to tell u this but the ratings are higher than they've been in years. Those of us who are fans of small market teams like the Warriors may not want to admit it but the NBA is driven by 6 franchises. The Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Bulls, Knicks & Mavs. If those teams are good because they are in big market or glamour cities the NBA is just fine. Its never been dependant on the Kings and Warriors and Bucks and teams like that. The only league where it dont matter is NFL.

[davd1986]

@neneshubby I know man. That's why there are more 'fixed' games and rule changes in the NBA than any other professional league/sport. It's a pity, I know.

[neneshubby]

@davd1986 Well, I dont no about 'fixed games' but I do know the NBA just like all leagues does what it can to make sure certain things happen. Thats why the NFL changes rules for offense & protects the QB's at all cost. Its why MLB added the DH and lowered the mound. Its why certain pitchers get the 'outside corner' and some don't, its why 'roughing the passer' is called Manning & Brady and not other QB's. I dont think the NBA fixes games but they do create a culture for big teams to suceed.

[davd1986]

@neneshubby Sorry, it's kind of weird to reply a few weeks later, but I'll do it anyway. Why then, does the NBA even have 30 teams? Why not just have Celtics, Heat, Magic and Knicks in the east and Lakers, Mavericks, and maybe even the Rockets from the west, just have those teams play and get rid of the other 23? Apart from the Pistons and Spurs, how many small(er) market teams have won the championship in recent years/decades? 1985 draft was def. fixed, so is the dunk contest, weird, I know!

[neneshubby]

@davd1986 Hey, if you think certain things are fixed I wont try to change your mind. A lot of people believe the same thing. I'm just not one for conspiracies. My point is that the NBA has NEVER been about small markets. Its always been a star driven league going back to the days of Wilt/Russell when Boston dominated the league. The Celtics and Lakers dominated the 80's, the Bulls the 90's. Its always been dominated by a few teams and the ratings go up when it is.

[neneshubby]

@neneshubby Hey it kind of sucks if you're a fan in a smaller market city (like me as a Warrior fan). But the numbers dont lie. Its no different in baseball. When the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Dodgers aren't in it, the rating go down. Waaay down. The 2010 WS was the lowest rated EVER. Why? Giants and Rangers, 2 unglamouros teams. When the Spurs are in the NBA finals the rating go way down. And Pro Sports today are all about TV ratings. Its not fair but thats the way it is.

[TheGamer32121]

every bucket they cheer like its a game winner

[eeeechoes]

Does anyone have the Windows Media Player (NBA.com) licenses for these games? The old download store was discontinued, the NBA doesn't make games past 2008 available, and the computer that I originally purchased/downloaded them to got stolen...

[DetectiveBlacksmith]

Even though I'm a diehard laker fan, Warriors are my second team and this clip just made me smile the entire time. The NBA needs this team back in the playoffs.

[hawaiianballa95]

damn imagine if dey make da playoffs dis year...

[Woodson9V2]

Now that's a crown, they start screaming before the player even makes the shot. best playoff moments ever. this team shoots more 3's than any teams in the nba

[JWiLLfoReaL]

hope to see this under new ownership playoffs!!!

[rkfan1012]

miss this old GS squad... so much firepower! and the fans were so intense....

[Luke7994]

1:18 FAIL! They added it as 2 points and not 3 on the scoreboard,

[JWiLLfoReaL]

Hopfully we see this in new ownership.

[thatboyhov]

[ldrcrusher]

[techn9ne6]

damn we wer dope as FUCK. how depressing that those guys are all gone.

[juanros71]

i havent seen this kind of team chemistry since this team split

[Pinoyballin06]

the loudest crown in the nba[=

its all about the BAY AREA!!!

i miss this squad ]=

[LukaAvdalovic123]

same they were so explosive and exciting

[danynumero6]

@Pinoyballin06 we can get them back if we change the front office of the warriors.

[abprepboy33]

@Pinoyballin06 loudest crowd int he nba and lacob STILL wouldnt reward them with a play off team.

[jdhiner1]

Amazing whats even more amazing is how fast the warriors front office let that team fall apart.

[dragmaster]

ya eh pretty much the year after that things started to fall part, well they didnt make the playoffs the year after this so maybe thtas why

[timsk]

@dragmaster the year after, they got rid of j-rich. He was one of the core members of that team. However, the year after was a tough one as the warriors had a winning record, but still didn't make the playoffs. This apparently didn't please somebody upstairs and the wholesale began. Instead of building their core from that '07 playoff team, they dismantled. Bad mistake and here you have the warriors of today.

[dragmaster]

you make a good point they did win 49 games i belive but what can you honestly do? like squezing into the playoffs isnt going to win a championship, the GM figured they needed to do something has the west got better

[ScrumptiousSoda]

EPIC

[perryjr1]

that was a cool pass

[kidgame86]

No disrespect to the Mavs but the Warriors made them look like bitches!!!

[j0hnnyb0y91]

good vid, but fix the audio

[danynumero6]

Dirk was named the MVP of the league that year. My ass hes an MVP, my Warriors smoked his ass.

[jwatts456]

fuck tha dallas mavs bra

[oneamigo3]

i was at this game sitting front row and this video gives me feelings of nostalgia! once the audio is fixed, the video is perfect.

[johnboy779]

Your audio and video are misaligned starting at about 1:00. Fix that and you're golden. No pun intended.

[DinoRaptor]

oh

you intended that shit

[albasuna]

JESSICA ALBA!!
