The Warriors have played amazing basketball in their building this post-season, and their Game 3 shellacking of the Jazz was no exception. The Dubs tied an NBA record by hitting 11 three pointers in the first half, and Baron Davis put an exclamation point on the win with this killer dunk on AK-47.
I love how the announcer, who's supposed to be impartial, completely loses it when Baron throws it down. With a professional like that getting caught up in the scene in Oakland, it's no wonder that the visiting teams in these playoffs have had no chance in "Baron's house."

I lost it too when I saw it tonight. AK had to go to the kitchen and wipe that dunk off his face.
Main That dunk was sickness AK-47 got dnked on badly by B-Diddy i rate it a top 10 dunk go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EWWWW!!!!!! PURE NASTY! Adonal Foyle's reaction was the most appropriate. The same look one gets after smelling an atrocious fart. Just pure disgusting. INSANE!
That was totally worth the technical.
His immediate reaction was both completely absurd and entirely appropriate.
I think his immediate impulse was to take off his jersey, run out of the arena, and vanish into hermitage, having left us with this, his greatest gift.
Me and my dad were watching the game, and we both completely lost it when this happened. He just kept upping the ante with every play.
OH. MY. GOD. Holy crap I think Andre Kirilenko was crying inside after that facial!
C'mon now. Mike Tirico was alright getting a little carried away. Would you have preferred Dick Stockton and Reggie Miller doing the play-by-play?
Good Lord, isn't anyone going to say the obvious?? It's kind of hard for AK to block the shot with Davis' forearm slamming across his face. Take another look- Davis clearly punches him right in the face, why is no one seeing this!? Then he shows how little class he has and lifts up his shirt like a freakin' street thug. This isn't AND1, it's the NBA now show some respect you classless piece of trash. I was rooting for the Warriors before, but after this I have lost all respect for Davis.
Just stop.
re: #7 - Sam Dodd
You are a liar. There is no POSSIBLE way you were rooting for the Warriors and this play made you change your mind. This play is the definition of what the Warriorz DO. If you were somehow rooting for the Warriors before this play, and this play changed your mind, you are one of the biggest moronic bandwagon-jumpers on the planet.
The whole party lost it and we yelled and went bananas when Baron threw it down like that. Although Sam Dodd seems like he is suffering from silicovaginosis, he is kinda right. Looking at the replays, Baron clearly uses his left hand to hold Kirilenko off so he can complete the dunk. Ah well, home court advantage has less to do with the crowd and more to do with friendly calls at home. No way would that dunk have come back for his forearm play at the Oracle. Part of the game, you deal. For all the flashy winning in Oakland, Utah has homecourt and isn't afraid of a game 7. Keep that in mind.
Foyle's priceless reaction brings to mind Marbury's reaction to a Stoudemire dunk a few years ago.
ummm, just to clarify for the retards talking about the forearm. if a defender leaves his feet to go for a block, it is perfectly legal within the rules of basketball to use your other arm to shield the defenders arms from knocking the ball away. thanks for the post though, douche bag. by the way, that was the nastiest posterizing ive ever seen. lifting his shirt up was the most appropriate action after delivering a humiliating facial such as that.
"Classless piece of trash?" C'mon! That dunk was too nasty to be classy to begin with... and please, let's not make the NBA to be the paradigm of sportsmanship.
Just remember that many former NBA players claim that one of the all time-time dirtiest-playing duos in the game were Karl Malone and John Stockton!
ESPN had an entire special on dirtiest players and they were both ranked in the top ten!
But aside from all of that, I was watching at a sports bar in NYC and the place went nuts when B.diddy facialized AK... even the non-nba fans and golden-state haters in the crowd. Forearm or not, even Kirilenko had no response for after the game other than "at least I'm on the poster."
That's respect.
kirilenko shouldve gone to the dining area of the arena, baked some chocolate chip cookies, and brought them to baron and the warrior bench after that posterization.

Kirilenko will forever be "the other guy on the poster" from here on out
