Buddy tied an NBA record for 3's in a Game 7 with 9.

Interesting stat:

The home team of a Game 7 is 111 - 37

But not last night!

I wonder if Draymond was called for a foul on this play

When I saw Les Dudek play with Boz Scaggs in the early 70's at the Greek Theater, they looked like this:


Boz in center, Les at right.

The play: The first game-winning, buzzer-beating dunk in NBA postseason history


Gordon does it again. Wins Game 1 in OKC series with seconds left. This time with a 3.

What the hell is the OKC coach doing? Fouls with no time elapsed off the clock and Jokic out of the game.

Two big leads choked away by the home team in one night.

Is your posting of this song intending to say this is the last flight for Curry and company?

Many have suggested a massive changing of the guard is on the horizon.
LeBron
KDurant
Kawai and Harden
Klay Thompson and the Brow and Kyrie
Curry and draymond
Giannis and Damion Lillard
Popavich and Pat Riley

Yep. It's happening.

The ironic thing is:
American bald eagles have been making a decent comeback!

Quote:


Yes, the American bald eagle has made a remarkable comeback after facing near-extinction in the mid-20th century. Once reduced to just 417 known nesting pairs in the lower 48 states by 1963, their population has rebounded impressively. As of recent estimates, there are approximately 316,700 individual bald eagles, including over 71,000 nesting pairs, across the contiguous United States .

This recovery is attributed to several key conservation efforts:
DDT Ban: The 1972 ban on the pesticide DDT, which had caused eggshell thinning and reproductive failures, was crucial.
Legal Protections: The bald eagle was listed as endangered in 1978, leading to habitat protection and anti-poaching measures.
Collaborative Conservation: Government agencies, conservation groups, and the public worked together to protect nesting sites and monitor populations.

In recognition of these successes, the bald eagle was removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007 . However, it remains protected under laws like the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

In California, including areas like Sacramento, bald eagles have been observed nesting and thriving once again. Their return to regions such as the Channel Islands and Big Bear Lake underscores the effectiveness of long-term conservation strategies .

While the bald eagle's resurgence is a significant conservation success story, ongoing efforts are essential to address remaining threats like habitat loss and environmental contaminants.




Damned LIBERALS fought for and won environmental regulations to make that happen.

When did it become a "thing" in the NBA to sprawl on the court face down after hard contact like you are a WR that just got lit up by a LB catching a pass in the middle?

They should give every player a 10 count to get off the deck…..and if you can't, for your own safety,you may not return to the game.

I have grown weary of players that look like they are half dead after contact, returning to the game and playing like nothing happened to them. If they were that tough, they wouldn't have reacted to the contact so dramatically in the first place.

"A left hamstring pull's healing time varies depending on the severity of the injury. Minor pulls (Grade 1) can heal in a few days to a couple of weeks, while more severe tears (Grades 2 and 3) may take weeks to months, potentially up to 3 months."

If the Warriors go out because Steph Curry got hurt . . . well, so it goes.

Let's put aside Curry's injury and the series so far...What an amazing defensive performance by the Warriors.

Don't rule out the defensive presence and power that is Kevon Looney. Dubs in 6.

Once Ant finally got going, Minnesota killed the Dubs in the paint.
52 - 28

Seems like we were stuck on having only 5 points in the 4th for like forever!

Kerr made a smart move to put Looney in and he stopped the bleeding. Looney isn't flashy, but he knows how to position himself and not make mistakes.

It's just so ridiculous that the Warriors won this game. Hard to fathom.

A: since they began reviewing the play to see if there was illegal contact to the head and neck area.
It gives the refs time to ponder "say, maybe we should review that." Or, at least, the players are asking them to.

Splash brother (Klay, Poole) replacement.
The laid back Bahamian simply needs to acquire some Dog in him.
He refused family ticket requests for game 7 so he could focus.

The Celtics get way too tepid while protecting a lead. Settling for long jumpers. Someone needs to take it to the hole.

Maybe that's a good sign for the warriors, then, because without Steph they are in a huge hole.
