I thought I was going to **** on myself when Okafor was at the line.
Humble yourself.

I thought he was out because he choked on that big clear thing he's supposed to be using as a mouth piece

LOL. Did I hear correctly when he said he thought it was a steal?

Me too!! I thought we were 100% in the hole when he didn't throw that dunk down and was sent to the line.

Great win! But I am sick of Ray in the game in the final minute. Why the F--- does he HAVE to shoot the ball as many times as possible? Pass it you stupid jackass! Or get out of the game. Thank God for Diaw tonight. Great win tho!

Um, he did pass it to Bell, who passed it to Diaw. All created by the Felton drive.

LB post game:

They are hard to guard. We didn't do good job in the 3rd protecting the ball but did a much better job in the 4th.

We went brain dead thinking we were behind and fouling. They are well coached offensively. We have to feel fortunate we won.

The GSW's are going to be a very good team soon. You have to play good on that court to win, and we did.

We were't stopping them. We like to run off steals and blocks but we don't really get up and down. We executed well but we had too many turn overs. We have to protect the ball. Probably a result of all the new players.

Dude, that final play was perfect. Three guys touched the ball and it ended up in the hands of the guy who was most open. Felts, by driving the way he did and recognizing that the D had collapsed on him, orchestrated that entire final play by using quick thinking and not just jacking up a stupid shot himself.

I say kudos to Felts for winning us the game with that play. Sure Boris shot the 3, but Felts created the space and room for him to take it uncontested.

I just watched the replay and Radman was working HARD guarding Jax on the inbound.

It really was a good idea to put him in that position and he responded well with how he played it.

I love seeing little touches like the Radman Sub at the end, that kind of thing never happened with Ham Biscuit.

Also, If you were collecting evidence to show that Felts shouldnt have the ball at the end of the game, this game is not one you would use.

I agree 100% that he did that on the play in which Boris gave us the win. I'm talking about the 3 of 4 shots Ray missed in the final minute that nearly cost us. When he gets in the final minute of a close game, he usually seems to try to be the shooter, and he's not a shooter. He did a great job of driving, penetrating ande kicking out on the game winning play. I want to see him do that MOST of the time in the final minute of a close game, not it be the exception. That is my point.

Valid point. I nearly pooped when he went behind his back with that very sloppy dribble, nearly lost the handle, nearly fouled Watson but hit the floater. I guess when he finishes the game the way he did (creating "the" play, hitting his two FT's) it's easier to forget what didn't work.

Winning tends to make everything more acceptable!!

Apart from the turn overs, I thought he had a very good night though.

You wouldn't have known it watching the game but Raja finished with a very respectable 8 pts, 7 boards and 7 assists!!

Great shot and good win, especially with all the other teams in the playoff race losing.
