Baron (barring the free-throws) was ofcourse messiah again but otherwise. Nicely done by Pietrus, Jackson and JRich but mostly it was just making the Mavs suck more with our D. Crazy. I love this team.

well scary thing is. I don't think the Dubs played their A game yet. The closest thing was game 3.

I thought it was slightly in favor of Golden State. Barnett/Fitzgerald on FSNBA also said this, and they are usually pretty straightfoward (particularly Barnett) on how the calls are going. There were a few clear fouls on replays that were not called on GS (one on a foul by Jackson on Nowitzki when Dirk shot an airball 3, one on a clear hack on Richardson). The ones that went against the Ws that seemed to be bad calls were closer, ones that I could see why the ref made the call (Harris taking a charge where it looked like he flopped, one defensive foul on GS where the Mav was already falling, but the W player did hit him).

If the Warriors played this game in Dallas, they would've lost. They were playing the Mavs tempo the whole game. The fans really motivated them to make a final run for the W.
