Bogut played just six of his 20 minutes in the first half. He finished the game with just six rebounds and two points and did not block a shot. Asked how he was feeling the day after, Bogut was brief. "Pretty good," he said. Asked a follow-up about whether the ankle was causing him problems during the game, he said, "No, it's fine. It'll be all right." San Jose Mercury-News

And in the crucial Game 5 against San Antonio on Tuesday… “I was terrible, plain and simple,” a dejected Curry said, slumping at his locker after the Warriors 109-91 loss at the AT&T Center which gave the Spurs a 3-2 series lead. “They outplayed us as a team, but individually I didn’t have anything on either end. I was a step slow, shot wasn’t falling. “I was trying to make plays, but defensively I lost a little focus. I personally have got to be better.” San Jose Mercury-News

DiLeo began the search for a coach that included names such as assistants Mike Malone (Golden State) and Brian Shaw (Indiana) as the leading candidates. But Hinkie said that although they will remain possibilities, the new chief has some others in mind. "Those names weren't my names, but I won't throw them out out of hand," said Hinkie, who spent eight seasons with the Houston Rockets, the last two as the team's assistant general manager. "That's just not the way I operate. I have a list of guys that I think are interesting. I'd like it to grow and I'd like to solicit the ideas of others. I don't believe that all the ideas come from one person. I believe the opposite, in fact. Philadelphia Inquirer

On Golden State's Stephen Curry. Dirk Nowitzki: I'm a huge fan. When he's on, in most of these third quarters, I'm yelling at the TV - 'Shoot!' Don't even pass. As soon as he crosses half court, I want him to pull up. There's a lot of great spot-up shooters in this league. But he knows how to shoot spot up, off the dribble. To me, he's one of the best shooters we have in the league right now. Not a lot of people can shoot the threes off the dribble like he can. He's fun to watch. Dallas Morning News

“I’m a man of faith,” Mark Jackson told me. “I believe in God. Some folks may say God doesn’t care about basketball. My Bible tells me He cares about everything that has to do with me. This team is tied together. I’ve said it before. Spiritually, this team is absolutely tied together. There’s a call on these guys’ lives. I said from Day 1 in my press conference, if I won games and didn’t change lives I’d be a failure. If I won a championship and guys left here the same I’d be a failure. It’s more important to me to leave here leaving these guys better husbands, better fathers, better teammates, better players, better men. That’s what it’s all about, and we’ve done that. With that, the victories will come.” NBA.com

Like Duncan on Monday, Parker toed the company line on a late possession where Golden State kept the ball even after it deflected off Golden State center Andrew Bogut. (For those of you who don’t read Mike Monroe’s dispatch on our new pay site, Express-News.com, an NBA spokesman acknowledged the missed call yesterday but said the play was not reviewable by rule.) Said Parker: “It’s OK. Stuff’s going to happen. I know the referees try to do the best job they can to make the right call. We didn’t lose the game right there.” San Antonio Express-News

Stephen Curry strolled into Warriors’ shoot-around at the AT&T Center this morning with a smile on his face and no noticeable limp. Easy to see that his left ankle was feeling a lot better than it did before Sunday’s Game 4… or during Game 4… and after Game 4. San Jose Mercury-News

The call in question awarded the ball to the Warriors after a scramble for the rebound of Manu Ginobili's missed 3- point attempt with the score tied at 84. Warriors center Andrew Bogut initially grabbed the rebound, and televised replays clearly showed his right foot over the end line, out of bounds, while the ball was trapped on his hip. The referees did not make an out-of-bounds call at that point, and when the ball was knocked out of Bogut's hands, Warriors guard Jarrett Jack gained possession long enough to call a timeout.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank on Monday acknowledged that the out-of-bounds call that should have been made on Bogut had been missed but said the referees were correct in not asking for a video review. San Antonio Express-News

Curry took his third injection of the postseason before Game 4 after spraining his left ankle for a second time late in Game 3. He admitted after the game Sunday that he doesn't expect to be significantly more mobile the rest of the series, even though he still managed some big shots down the stretch in the Warriors' overtime win and wound up with 22 points. "He'll get treatment today, he'll get treatment (Tuesday)," coach Mark Jackson said. "We'll just see how he feels. I haven't seen him, I have not spoken to him. But it's good to have all day today and all day tomorrow to recoup and recover." Contra Costa Times
