    Ugh. I just told my daughter she could have the TV after the Indiana vs Kentucky game. I will probably miss the entire first half. It is the only TV I can see the game on. Go Warriors!!!

    Damn I wanted this game last night. IF only Curry and Klay just hit on 3 of the 3's they missed last night, it would have been a win. Don't know if it was just great D by the Spurs or if Curry and Klay were just totally off. Reminded me of the first playoff game against Cleveland last year. Oh well.

    I only watched the second half but it looked more like they were just off than anything. They were wide open on multiple misses.

    They kept it close even without Bogut and Igoudala. Both teams played pretty good defense, but IMO the difference for the Spurs was Aldridge. Dude couldn't be stopped last night.

    They'll seed mel. But they are going to have a tough time if they play at either Oakland or San Antonio in the playoffs.

    Well yeah, but let's be honest. All 3 of those teams are not going to have it easy wherever they play. Going to be good games all around. :)

    Easy no. But GS and San Antonio have much better chances winning away games versus the rest of the West teams. I'm looking forward to a fun post season! Good luck (except when the Thunder plays the DUBS!).

    Oh man, I was at the edge of my seat the 4th quarter. Back to back night finishing with the Jazz tonight and the DUBS make it go into overtime after schlubbing through the first half of 3 quarters. Warriors up 8 now in OT with about minute left.

    Edit: Now up 7 with 25 sec left. Should be a win. GO DUBS!!!!!

    Damn. I was hoping for an undefeated home season. Props to the Celtics who caused a lot of Warrior turnovers and kept Curry and Klay in check most of the game.

    Oh Yeah!!!! DUBS secure the number 1 seed and home advantage for the playoffs!!! They played the Spurs well last night and though Curry didn't hit a lot of 3's, they gave him a lot of 2's and because the focus was on him, lots of other members were wide open to make scores.
    Still have a chance at history, but it's slim. GO DUBS!!!!

    I have to admit I had my doubts they would even tie the record after their last loss. Looking forward to see how it turns out.

    If I'm being honest, I thought they would do no better than tie it if they beat the Grizzlies. Now that they won back to back on road games, I feel pretty good about them coming home to set the record in front of the fans at Roaracle!!!!!

    Looking good for the best record of all time, and Curry is at 400 3s for the season with still time to pay. Absolutely amazing. Hope the lead is huge going into the 4th and they rest their starters

    I didn't get to watch the game, but I followed the play by play up into the 4th quarter before dozing off. Did Kerr rest some of the starters in the 4th?

    I am hoping they finish every team off in 5 or less games.

    Me too! In fact, with the exception of work (since I can actually watch it there while training clients who actually watch them too) I'm going to make sure I can watch every game by scheduling other things around them!

    LA well Kobe some argue he is the greatest player.
    Naw, Kareem Abdul Jabbar has him outscored and played better defense. I don't think Kobe's even in the top 10 all time. Jordan, Russell, Magic, Bird, Chamberlain, Duncan, Shaq, James, and Olajuwon have higher statis based careers.

    I remember seeing a poll of if you were down by one with final seconds in the game who would you have shot the last shot. The choices were Jordan, James, or Bryant. Guess the order of it.
    If that poll were taken today I bet Curry surpasses Bryant and James. Jordan............maybe not.

    No Curry tonight and the DUBS still dominated. With the exception of the first 2 shots, the DUBS lead the rest of the way with help from everyone on the team including the bench! This is the second time the DUBS played the Rockets without Steph and still won!!!! 2-0 in the series now and onto Houston.

    KD sucked it hard last night, but we only lost by 1. Should have been another beat down like Saturday. Just means we will bring it back to OKC to wrap up the series @Maximus :)
