With Utah taking a 3-1 series lead, the Warriors are facing elimination for the first time in the post-season. As things heat up, here are a few reasons to watch tonight’s match-up:
Game 5 - Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz, 10:30 ET
10) Just in case Mehmet Okur and Jason Richardson decide to continue their spat, and start throwing hooks. However, keep in mind…if this happens while you are watching, your cable bill will automatically be charged $59.95
9) If either teams gets a big lead, Don Nelson may crack open a cold one before the 4th quarter.
8) There will likely be a David Blaine NBA Playoffs commercial where you can hear him talk just like Forrest Gump. Do you think perhaps he stayed in that underwater tank just a little too long?
7) This game may cause “We Believe†T-shirts to go on sale for 50 cents each.
6) Baron Davis may try one of those spectacular dunks again, because nobody got a good poster-worthy camera shot the first time.
5) If Andris Biedrins gets to the free throw line, this may be your only opportunity to see a shooting technique worse than Shaquille O’Neal.
4) You can watch Baron Davis initiate more contact than Paris Hilton’s pimp.
3) Because Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry won’t be playing in this one.
2) This may be your last chance to watch the fast-paced Warriors play until next season…or at least until the Alcatraz Intramural Summer League starts.
1) But most of all, because Stephen Jackson is one bad call away from a monumental meltdown.
Hey Warriors, Miami called…and they’re all out of ink!
