I have a sneaky suspicion that The Beard and J-Rich are going to miss game 5. They both lost their cool and tried to hurt people. With the way the league has been so adamant about supsensions for flagrants and the like, they will be lucky to just get fined for their actions.

The Warriors got rattled last night in a game that was winnable for them. TNT didn't show it well, but the Davis cheap shot on Fisher looked like a flagrant attempt to injure. For long stretches of the game the Warriors couldn't buy a three-pointer and let the Jazz get easy baskets. I think Cinderella may be done.

Thank God that the Bulls prevented a sweep. To bad for the Warriors, I thought they could make it to the conference finals, I guess thats why i don't gamble.

I think Cinderella may be done. Unfortunately, the clock struck midnight right after Game 1 versus Utah. The Beard will have to settle for Round 2 and high hopes for the Warriors next year. They had one hell of a run though.

and after 2morrow night it will be Bulls - 1 Pistons - 4. Da Bullz are done! As for the Warriors they lost their cool one to many times this postseason, it finally jumped up and bit them last night...Jazz - Spurs anybody?

Those were some atrocious shots the Warriors took at the Jazz, especially the Baron Davis elbow to the noggin of Derek Fisher. That should be a suspension for the remainder of the playoffs, no matter how far Golden State might advance.

The Magic still have a chance to come back. Goooo Magic!

Atrocious shots? Whenever the warriors penatrated inside the jazz were hacking the warriors to bits. And Fisher deserved that elbofor playing so close to Baron. You play physical you should expect to get physical play in return. Furthermore I commend Richardson for trying the knock some sense into Mehmet Okur. They already had the game won, he did not need to dunk the ball and embarrass the warriors at home. You never let an opponent come into your house and make a mockery of you. Okur was rubbing salt in a wound.

Davis has no excuse for what he did, and Jackson could have made a hard foul by going for the ball, not Okur's head. Jackson is a head case, plain and simple.

So, if the tables were turned, you would surely be condemning the Warriors for dunking in a basketball game that they were winning, right? This "you don't come into my house and show me up" crap is just that...crap. Play better basketball, and you won't get your ass kicked and have to worry about punk-ass "pride fouls." If you must lose, better to do so with class than act like a bunch of punks. Dammit, The Beard is better than that!

Jason Richardson's foul was just a hard foul, that was all he could do... he didn't want Okur to have a chance at making the shot, and all he did was hit him high... on his arms, not even his head or anything. BD's shot was cheap, but it should overshadow his phenomenal play until this point. I'm still going for Utah, and they should play Ronnie B more.

Dammit, The Beard is better than that! My sentiments exactly.

Aw, it's a little rough, but no one is really getting hurt out there. I do ascribe to the "well, it's the playoffs" mentality.

Hope the bulls wake up soon. Think they really have the chance if they get themselves together and work as a team!
