Barkley has something against Nellie..If any other coach was with the Warriors, I'm sure he'd be rooting for you guys. He used to b*itch about the Mavs till Nellie left us.

I could imagine Bob screaming when the Warriors won.</div> I recorded both -- I watched the FSN one live, and then watched the TNT. I feel like I kind of owe it to Fitz and Barnett after all these years. Fitz is as good as ever -- his play-by-play is better than anything TNT has to offer. He'll point out back-door cuts, pick-n-rolls, "ole" defense, the 2-for-1, getting back in transition -- he knows the game and it shows. TNT's play-by-play is more just passively reporting "OH, and Ellis with the dunk!" but not really giving anything leading up to the play. Fitz will say something like "Ellis cuts back door... what a pass by Baron... Ellis with the dunk!!" As far as color -- well, Barnett gets a little too emotional at times. I prefer Reggie Miller because he always keeps his cool and doesn't act like everything he has to say is a new innovation. Barnett will be like "watch this bob, I told you they were going to do this, I predicted it Bob, watch how they come to double Dirk... see that?" Barnett loves to be right and say "I told you so." I guess most color guys like that. But Miller is more fun, especially considering I've grown up watching him drop daggers in playoff games. Barnett dates before my time. But the FSN one was very good -- I was happy because they showed the pre-game intros, but TNT didn't. That was one of my favorite parts -- watching Stephen Jackson's name get called, him running out, and having Barnes frisk him for weapons, lol. Priceless!!! <font size=""6"">WARRIORS!!!!!!</font>
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">My guess is that Barkley has a lot of money riding on this series.</div> Never thought about that. That's probably very, very, very true. Barkley's the definition of fair weather fan. He hates the Bulls too. He only likes proven teams and anyone else is just dust in the wind.
