LiveBlog Part the First: Positivity and Love for All

In light of recent events on HarpringSucks, YB's prolonged case of uptimism (fortunately, the case was found to be treatable after Game 3) and Kicky's positive look at Matt Harpring, I have decided to spend this blog focusing on only the positives of the game. This will also avoid those dreadfully mean comments that mock us for making fun of a team that is doing well. Like they did in Game Three. Really well.

-What a great opening from TNT! Comparing Golden State to "yellow fever" is a great idea, especially with the video-editing wherein Okur touched Baron Davis and turned yellow. It took me three times rewinding and watching for me to realize it was a computer, and Okur did not actually turn yellow. And besides, yellow fever is always good clean fun. If it weren't for yellow fever, thousands upon thousands of Napoleon's troops wouldn't have died invading Cuba fighting T'oussaint L'Oveurture, and America would have a big chunk missing where Lousiana would be.

-This is a fantastic chicken gordita.

-Jessica Alba sighting. Sometimes, positivity writes itself.

-A more negative person might comment on the fact that shirts that say "we believe" are vague and lack context, simply signifying the fact that the wearer believes something. But not this blogger. No, this blogger would only like to say that yellow is a summery sort of color.

-Boy, Stephen Jackson sure is excited, hopping up and down, waving to the crowd, firing madly into the air...

-Fisher ALMOST had that ball on the backboard before it was stuffed straight down by a guy that was barely jumping. Better luck next time, little buddy.

-I smell popcorn!

-Doug Collins just said Jason Richardson is the guy having the most fun right now. Wouldn't it be neat if they had a meter like their decibel-meter that shows how much fun members of the Warriors are having at a given time? I know I would keep track of Andris Biedrins' fun-level as he rockets a free throw directly at the front of the rim.

-Fisher just got a personal foul and was schooled on defense by Jason Richardson, but he looked good doing it.

-Doug Collins: "It's so funny seeing Utah running their offense." Collins' Fun-Level is currently at 104.6.

-In a world of constant change, it's nice to have constants, like a team defense predicated on leaving the perimeter open. Stay true, Jerry. Stay true.

-Deron Williams just played defense on Baron Davis for over three seconds without being called for a foul. I think Dick Bavetta might have lost his whistle.

-I think AK just managed to travel, do a 360-spin in mid-air, double-clutch, and get partially blocked in one shot. That's a 4x1 right there.

-Dick Bavetta is apparently not reffing this game. What a hilarious misunderstanding.

-I laugh at those that think the NBA is falling behind other major sports. They managed to grab both David Blaine and The PussyCat Dolls for advertising campaigns this year. That's some serious A-List talent.

-Boozer just yelled "And One" as he was going for an offensive rebound. Maybe he just has a basketball-centered variety of Tourret's Syndrome. I bet his wife loves him anyway.

-Harpring in for AK. Sometimes, positivity writes itself.

-Don Nelson said Stephen Jackson is feeling much better after recovering from a toothache. This might overtake the Jordan flu game for post-illness playoff performance.

-Boy, Golden State is really great at hitting threes. It's fun to watch. Ask Harpring and Deron, they just watched a few. Bet their fun-meters are red-lining.

-TaterMom: "Isn't that three 3s in a row after Harpring checked in? And where's the offense on the other end he was supposed to provide according to the announcer?"

Do not worry, I chastised her for whining about a team that is in the playoffs and much better than it once was. She will learn.

-Stephen Jackson jawing at the ref. That's a lot of jaw!

-Matt Harpring with an assist! Truly, the Powers that Be must be on our side.

-Giricek almost made it all the way across halfcourt without passing the ball, and Jerry was kind enough to shout encouragement the whole way.

-Utah up by 2 after one quarter! Surely this must be the best of all possible worlds, John the Anabaptist.

I love the idea of basketball-centered Tourets.

One of my debate kids claimed that his roommate's Tourets word was "science." I've always loved the idea of some kid randomly yelling "science" without cause.
