Anyone catch Curry's return last night? He had not played a full game in over a month, came off the bench and went on to hit 40pts and make history by scoring 17pts in OT (most ever in any NBA game) He was rusty the first 3qtrs but shook it off and went alien. Barkley calling it the greatest performance by any player he has ever seen, even Jordan's game when he had the flu.

What Steph did last night was awe inspiring, he went off!! (after looking horrible for most of the game going just 1 - 10 from 3) It was a sight to see.

The Cavs are playing out of their minds! Setting 3pt records (25 in one game, recently held by Golden State at 20 from earlier this season)

The presumed match up in the finals between the Cavs and GSW is shaping up to be one for the ages!

Steph Curry just became the first ever unanimous MVP in the 61 year league history. (134 people vote)

You banking on Raptors getting through Miami? been a pretty good back and forth series, what a shame both had big injuries.

...and GSW will have to get through OKC or Spurs...speaking of, this series has been intense!

I can not stand the Spurs and OKC my second fav team behind GSW.

Really want OKC/GSW in the West Finals.

My daughter asked me this morning, "what were you laughing about last night." Wasn't laughing at Portland, just couldn't believe what Curry was doing in overtime. Paul Allen wasn't laughing. Smile

Damned shame JV rolled his ankle. He was starting to turn into something special.

Quite a roller coaster ride - 3 out of 4 games to OT.

Go Raps!

Yes he certainly is - have to admire him even if he's on the other side.

George was the same the series before. Both class act Hall of Fame guys.

Pathetic performance by the Heat tonight. No hustle or effort.

Maybe we will still win but in double OT this time.

Cavs are cursed by the city of Cleveland. If they'd sell the team to some other city they'd get a championship

I actually thought of you when that happened. I think it was a bench racing thread where you were requesting that the Thunder beat the Spurs. You just may get that wish. Maybe that call I told you I would make has motivated them!

If they finish off the Spurs, then they are handsomely rewarded by getting GS! Wait! What?

I am starting to think i may want the Spurs to take it in 7, make the road a little easier for GSW the way OKC is playing Whistling but GSW and OKC are my two fav teams.

Still think whoever face the Cavs in the finals are gonna have a tough road to hoe, they have been playing out of their minds! BUT...can/will they keep it up? Only time will tell.

Hopefully Bogut and Draymond are ok, they both took dingers in last nights game.

And he is a Kiwi!

FWIW, this is a new look for him. NBA player is not what comes to my mind when looking at him, at least on TV. I would imagine seeing him in person might change your mind about looking like an NBA player. He is tall and big.

Here is a funny. My brother owns a bunch of dry cleaners in OKC. KD is one of their pick up & delivery customers. His first pick up bill was around $7k, just for cleaning only.

Interesting. People really like him. He does a lot of community involvement. Represents NZ very well.
