Thompson: How do Blazers stop Bogut?

OAKLAND -- Like a crying baby a row ahead on a flight. Like the cashier who takes a break when it's finally your turn. Like unexpected traffic.

Yes, Andrew Bogut is that annoying. To his opponents, anyway.To his teammates, he is a welcomed component, an irreplaceable contributor to their relentless winning. If the Warriors' persona is that of a friendly smile and ready handshake, Bogut is the tack between their fingers. Which probably explains why he doesn't dap the opposing players before the game."In Australia, we shake hands. We don't fist bump," Bogut said before diving into a comedic riff about cultural handshakes differences.
