Summer

Top three:
1. Bazemore & Da Boiz.
2. Every DeAndre Jordan appearance.
3. Ya mayne man Jack after the Duncan And-1.

Klay Thompson post-game ice bath

After scalding the Spurs for 34 & 14 (13-26, 8-9 from three!), Klay Thompson rewarded himself with a cool ice bath.  Time to take this series back to the Bay. 

 

 

This is how it feels to watch Steph Curry play on a nightly basis

This is also how it looks to have your mind blown.  Big night in the Association last night.  Steph Curry went for 44 on 18/35 from the field but the Warriors found a way to choke away a 15 point lead and lose on a Manu Ginobili 3 with 1.4 seconds left by a score of 129-127.  After Curry's 22 point 3rd quarter (on 9/12 shooting mind you), Bazemore and the bench boys had seen enough to know their brains were melting which produced the incredible gif below.  Really hope the Warriors can make a series out of this but that is just about as crushing a defeat as you can come across (especially considering Golden State hasn't won in San Antonio since 1997).

 

I'll let Larry and Benny elaborate on what the Queen and her men did last night... 

Kent Bazemore sweats Harrison Barnes

Yikes.  Harrison Barnes needs to be in the dunk competition in 2014.  No excuses.  Probably the most exciting dunker in the league this year.  I am officially starting the petition today.  Part of that petition will include Kent Bazemore's attendance to celebrate each one of Barnes' makes.

As soon as David Lee went down the entire NBA community said the Warriors were done... so what did Mark Jackson do?  He started 3, small guards, a small forward and a center and said shoot them out of the building.  The result?  A 131-117 Warriors win and the combo of Curry/Thompson/Jack/Barnes going 40/63 with most of those makes coming on jumpers.  If those guys stay hot, Denver is cooked.

Harrison Barnes makes his second entry into DOTY

Earlier this year, much to the liking of Kent Bazemore; rookie, Harrison Barnes, showed us his ability to embarrass entire families of European centers when he aggressively threw his nuts into Nikola Pekovic's face.  On Saturday night, Ersan Ilyasova, despite finally having a week where he actually looked like he deserved his ridiculous off-season contract, learned the hard way that Harrison is out to alienate every pale skinned European that stands between him and the rim.  Barnes now has 2 dunks this year that are completely viable DOTY candidates.

Kent Bazemore, Celebration Artist Extraordinaire

Seems our boy, DeAndre, has some competition. Bazemore is a rookie out of Old Dominion who has been back and forth from the end of the Warriors' bench to their D-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.  Bazemore's NBA claim to fame thus far was a 7 block game in the summer league against the Bulls.  Remember, this guy is a 6'5" SG so 7 blocks is silly.
