    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think the hair styles were more of an era effect.

    Hey. I don't hate their music. "Songs From The Big Chair" is great. I love the Smiths as well. But if you were a little kid and you were constantly exposed to their fans (older brothers and sisters) they weren't cool. It's the reason kids of my generation plugged a cheap Japanese- made guitar into a Marshall Stack with a Big Muff and invented Grunge. Your rebelling against what came before. And thank god for that!

    I felt the same about my older brother and Van Halen.

    I am not a huge Van Halen fan. But I hate hipsters and critics who are revisionist dickheads and try to deny Eddie his place in history. He was the most influencial guitar player in rock after Hendrix, and you cant imagine the world without him.
    The single humbucker into the bridge of a Strat. Nobody had done that.

    Actually wished he had the balls to make an instrumental album a la Satriani or Vai. (Wild Life soundtrack notwithstanding)

    Well that wasn't an ideal score to see. But if there is anything to take from this is that we got blown out first two games against the no good clippers and still won the series! So there is that.

    And the clippers beat us even worse. I think game 2 will be a revelation.

    CJ on Klay isn't fair. On Klay's worst day CJ couldn't check him.

    Move CJ to Barnes. This makes the most sense as Barnes can't create his own shot and isn't nearly as aggressive as Klay.

    Move Mo on Klay full time.

    While simultaneously copying what came before that...

    Don't forget that Nirvana ripped off the Pixies, who covered the Jesus and Mary Chain, who loved the Sex Pistols, who loved the Stooges. And so it goes.

    Agreed. This is the Spurs strategy: they hid Parker on Barnes in Barnes's rookie year and Warriors fans got all excited about his "great playoffs" and ignored the fact that the Spurs wiped the floor with them.

    As a confirmed Leonard-hater I am disturbed to find myself thinking, for the second series in a row, that he might come in handy. Bogut was causing us a lot of problems and it would be nice to pull him out of the lane. Plus, then you can play Ed Davis more - he was our biggest positive (per minute) in this first game.
