Looked like Clay knew some of those 3's were going in by the way he was back peddling before the ball swished...Game 7 should be a nail biter and i wouldn't want to be in OKC's shoes playing in Oakland...

What a win! Each OKC player has a small carry on filled with 'emotional letdown' that they must flyto Oakland with today. Warriors played like champs with Klay Thompson almost willing the team to victory.
Game 7 should be a fun affair with a crazy crowd noise factor.
Go Dubs!

3-Pt% GSW 47.8% OKCT 13% (more telling GSW 21-44, OKCT 3-23) (uh, 63-9)

I don't see tomorrow's game on the local tv lineup. Is it blacked out?
Do I have to climb late?

There is no truth to the rumor that Steve Kerr played with DT Trump. In fact he went to Pali (within short walking distance from my bros' house on El Medio).
I'd forgotten, but Kiki Vandeweghe also attended Pali and I played with him at Pauley. He was not John Wooden quick, but his first step (which is really all a good shooter needs) was as good as anyone. Some say better.
I observed this myself, but Pete Newell concurs. The book is Playing Big, but I can't cut and paste. Wish I'd met him when I was in high school.
"There is simply no way to stop him," says his teammate and close friend Clyde Drexler. If the defender crowds him, Vandeweghe will drive to the basket with a quick first step in either direction that belies his reputation for being superglued to the floor on defense. Give him room and he'll shoot you dead with his outside shot, an amalgam of modern-day jumper and old-fashioned one-hander. He's effective on the break (where he's one of the most underrated dunkers in the league), and he moves intelligently without the ball in the half-court offense.
Never saw him dunk, but he's 6' 8", so of course. No fade-away that I recall.

^Are you kidding? I played at UCLA. I was in graduate school and was trying to avoid going to the library. I was pretty successful and in the process became a decent baller. At least, I got picked up enough that it took me 7 years to get done with grad school.

I am hoping Curry and Co, can pull it off tomorrow night.
It was cool that the Thunder use the song, 7 nation army, the bass line, by the White Stripe's as their rally song. And all the fans know it.
Bet Jack and his sister never thought it would be used this way.
Then again,, they were always pretty good at business.
I only watch the games at the end of the play offs. Seems home court is a pretty good advantage, We will see.
Go Warriors.
Should be a good game .

NOT that it matters, but Klay's toe may have been on the line @1:09.
Gettting back to Curtis.
What the Hell Happened to...Curtis Rowe?
After being drafted by the Pistons in the 1971 draft with the 11th overall pick, Rowe did show some promise. He had 5 pretty solid years with the Pistons, playing more than 80 games each year, helping Detroit to make the playoffs 3 different times and even making the All Star team in 1976, right before Boston acquired him
It appears that he used some of Nate's Rogaine too.
In the immortal words of Don Hubbard
In Rowe, the Celtics picked up one of the most selfish players in their history, sacrificing the leadership, toughness and rebounds Silas brought to the court. Most vexing, Rowe was a guy who seemingly only cared about individual statistics and yet habitually failed in this endeavor, rarely ranking as a top player in any NBA category.

That 'gaine was spreading like wildfire BITD. And what do they all have in common? Well none of them would have been allowed to play for Coach John Wooden.
Turned Rodman green with envy.

Nice pre-game, zBrown.
AC Green was always one of my favorite Lakers, along with Magic and Rambo.
A.C. Green's bear is trying to speak to young people.
"Is that your bear, Wilt?"
Making a List
By Tim Keown
ESPN The Magazine
A.C. Green is wearing a bear doll on his head while he sits on the bench during the NBA playoffs. He is doing this to promote sexual abstinence among young people.
Now, there's a twist in our sporting culture it's safe to say none of us saw cresting over the horizon.
Hard to imagine, but Green's action allows us to say that Phil Jackson did not coach his nuttiest power forward while with the Bulls.
Suppose another player has a message, maybe a different message. Suppose this message isn't tied to a charitable foundation, and suppose it's not as right-wing preachy as Green's cause.
Let's say it's a message extolling the virtues of handgun ownership. Would the league -- the league that fines players for sock length and untucked shirts -- allow it?
Suppose someone on the Pacers decides that America's youth should eat more tuna. Maybe his uncle owns a fleet of tuna boats, so this player decides to wear a tuna on his head to promote the consumption of tuna. Would that fly?
Of course, it's hard to argue with the power of Green's message. After all, wearing a bear doll while in uniform pretty much guarantees celibacy.
