That was vintage GSW Dunleavy you saw. That's why Ws fans were so down on him. He never put it together in GS like he did last season in Indiana.

Granger is a beast, and the guy I wanted in the 2005 draft. Taking freakin Ike Diogu over him was a true Warrior moment. :banghead:


It was only his third game back, and while he'd shown rust in the previous two, he'd been a very productive and important player.

He had an off-game, but I'm glad he's back. He helps a hell of a lot more than hurts.
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

Might I add that with all those misses they weren't close. You could nearly see the brown coming out the bottom of his shorts tonight. The fans were in his head in a major way.

And I don't think that Dunleavy shot at the end was drawn up like that because it sure as hell looked like a forced shot to me.

From ESPN:

Coach Jim O'Brien said Dunleavy's shot was by design.

"We had run three straight [plays] for Danny, so we tried a handoff to Mike," O'Brien said. "We have to learn how to defend at some point in our lives. We're not defending well enough to win these close games. We had the opportunities, and we didn't get it done. We're not defending anybody."


Well color me confused. That shot sure as heck looked awfully forced. Maybe it was drawn up for Dunleavy and he just executed it poorly. It definitely wasn't a smooth looking shot. Either way, we shouldn't even have been in a position to have to rely on that shot.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Didn't confuse me, I expect O'Brien to royally screw things up now.

Well i'd lose confidence too if everyone in the building hated me and booed me every time I touched the ball.
