Bogut receives NBA title ring
As Stephen Curry noted later, that was entirely fitting, Lacob having promised five years ago that a desultory franchise would rise to the heights.
Fans watching the match through Gear VR will see the game through cameras that are “strategically positioned to capture all the live action, providing fans with a fully immersive experience as if they were watching from a courtside vantage point”, according to the National Basketball Association in a statement.
The Warriors were a young team in 2014-15 whose players will almost all improve this year.
“It kind of reminds me how we played at Kentucky”, Davis added, referring to his one season with the Wildcats, which ended with a national title. When I feel better, I’ll feel better. Otherwise, his schedule for the remainder of the evening was uncertain.
“I have not had a lot of fun here”, Barkley said. The timetable for his return is unknown. “We accomplished something special, and we’re going to try to enjoy that moment, then he’s got to get the boot”.
“That’s disappointing to me”, he said. Obviously, he was the leader behind this whole thing. Just the same, the Spurs are well-coached and seasoned and have to be considered a solid contender this year.

“Yeah, it’s big”, Walton said. The only member notably absent from last year’s team was David Lee, who was not on hand as he prepares for Boston’s game in Philadelphia Wednesday night. It’s a night that these guys will remember for the rest of their lives.
“Yes, we were able to get to where we wanted to get to, but we didn’t close the deal”, LeBron James said.
“I know exactly what we have to do”, Gentry said. “But executing that is a little bit like the [Michael] Jordan Rules”.
The Pelicans come into the game with a raft of injury concerns, Tyreke Evans (knee), Norris Cole (ankle), and Quincy Pondexter (knee) are all definitely out, while there is still a big question mark over Omer Asik’s fitness. The status of center Alexis Ajinca and forward Luke Babbitt also are uncertain.
What can you say about a team that’s got the league’s MVP (who is a god from three-point range), and they’ve re-signed one of the league’s best defensive players in Draymond Green, who just inked an $82m-over-five year deal.
