I like this pace from Murray. Totally controlled at his own speed

I think 4th quarter will be key here. Will Joker and Murray show effects of the heavy minutes from game 5?

I'm an East Coast transplant who lived half a decade in the midwest before moving to California. I'm debating moving back.

There are lots of things I miss about the tri-state area and Minnesota but start times for sporting events out here are so much better.

Dude it's nothing considering what we european fans experience, with all games every day, year after year, starting middle of the night. Still getting up to watch though!

Saying Murray was sick may have been a ploy.

OKC playing like it is s regular season game and Denver playing like it is do or die.

Can probably count on 1 hand the amount of players who've improved their jumper as much as Gordon has after an entire career of being below average.

I moved out to SF due to being unable to find work. I said I only be out here for ~12 years. I moved here:

Agreed. Nothing like waking up and the market opens at 630. I’m normally up at 5am for work since I cover the east coast.
