I thought the refs were unusually bad tonight, but they managed to screw up a lot of calls for both sides. But the quick double-T was the worst and, as you say, the sign of a very weak, insecure ref. The real story is Curry scoring 17 points in OT. He was clearly shaking off rust during regulation, but stepped up in the crunch. I didn't even mind his boasting, "I AM BACK!" after the last three.

Curry becomes the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, and after last night's OT (most points ever scored in OT by one player), I doubt anyone's regretting their votes, despite Curry's poor start. It'll be tough to top his acceptance speech from last year, in which he said something nice about each person on the team and staff, including the individuals who do security, travel arrangements, uniform prep, etc. As the article indicates, his speech galvanized the entire organization. He may be the most humble and personable MVP in history (although Magic was always pretty cool).

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Mein Bruder! The Dubs are bringing us together nearly as well as does the Donald.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostThe GSW have brought me back to the NBA. I found my new team--the Warriors!
They have also strengthened my marriage. By agreement, my wife and I share some hobbies, but we also have our own interests. The Warriors are in the former category and we've watched together nearly every game this season. With the help of the Warriors' very skilled announcing team (esp. Jim Barnett), she's developed a pretty extensive understanding of the game. Last night in the third quarter she said, "I don't understand why we're going with the small ball line-up here.... Oh, wait, I see Ezeli's taking off his warm-up jersey and is coming in. That makes sense now."

The Dubs (thanks for the tip re what to call them) are a rare experience. How often do you see or taste something and say to yourself, "Yes! This is what ____________ is supposed to be!" Till the Dubs, we never really watched basketball, did we.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Wow, there have been some great games lately. Thunder come back from being down double digits and steal one in SA. Crazy how cold SA went down the stretch.

I'm with you and SU. It has been a really cool bonding experience with my 14-yo daughter, who follows them religiously. She knows every stat of every player, and I can't get enough of Stephen Curry. She and I texted back and forth for an hour the other day while she was on a bus to a track meet and giving me stats and play-by-plays on the game I missed.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostMein Bruder!
