Warriors GM Bob Myers has little time to ponder finals loss
“You know, we’ve had so many moments of joy together, and it was like, wow, we’re actually having a moment of sorrow as a team”, coach Steve Kerr said.
But he did, and it happened. But after Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, the older Curry went viral when some fan douche left him hanging on a high-five while someone else filmed it. Afterwards, the guy even hit Dell with a dab, even though the dab is supposed to be dead.
President Barack Obama, an avid basketball fan, returned to Washington aboard Air Force One late Sunday as the game entered its final, tense minutes.
It is clear that the Warriors can not count on Ezeli to fill in for Bogut in crunch time and Golden State’s patience may have worn to a point where they do not feel inclined to match the offers he or Barnes receive.
A point in the game where Curry has shined time and time again.
It should haunt him. With Iguodala a shell of All-Defensive self in Thursday’s Game 6, James had 41 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots in Cleveland’s 14-point win. With the depth of worldwide talent in the second round, it makes a lot more sense for the Warriors to trade out of the first round and take a player they can stash overseas for a bit.
Golden State joins the 18-0 New England Patriots that lost the Super Bowl in 2008, the 116-win Seattle Mariners that fell in the 2001 AL championship series and the 68-win Boston Celtics that lost in the Eastern Conference finals in 1973 as great regular season teams that couldn’t get it done in the postseason. Including even James and Kyrie Irving, Green was the best player on the floor last night.
By the end of the night, the Warriors couldn’t deny the greatness Cleveland showed to win the title, particularly the two wins at Oracle. From Ernest Byner’s fumble that led to “The Drive” by John Elway to the Michael Jordan shot that sent Cavs’ guard Craig Ehlo falling to the floor; or the blown save by Fernando Mesa that cost the Indians a World Series. Everyone did. After going up 3-1, it was assumed that the Cavs were through, done.
Anthony Gilmore was in that crowd of hundreds of thousands of people, wearing a LeBron James t-shirt.
Coincidence? No. James is calculated in everything that he does and image-conscious in every way.
With 4:22 to play in Game 6, Curry was whistled for his sixth personal foul of the game, and that disqualified him from the remainder of the contest at Quicken Loans Arena.
“Game 5 was really the key”. This play was probably the most exciting play of the game, preventing the ball from reaching its intended destination. It was the Cavaliers who answered all the questions and the Warriors who fumbled at the goal line.
Kyrie Irving finished off the Warriors with a three-pointer in Curry’s face with 53 seconds to play to give Cleveland the lead, 92-89. No professional team has won a championship in the city since the Oakland Athletics did it in 1974 at the Oakland Coliseum. “LeBron put the team on his back, Kyrie put the team on his back, and everybody followed suit”.
