I predict Doc Rivers gets fined 50k after his post game press conference.

Makes sense, but man its still close. Even the crowd in OKC was like ahhh, ohhh when they announced it was their ball. Rivers about had a coronary heart attack, literally. He still might by the end of the night. Probably the wildest 60 seconds of basketball I've seen in a long time.

I wish I had that rule handy when I played pick-up with some dudes from New Jersey a couple of weekends ago. Dudes kept loose ball fouling the crap out of me and causing the ball to go out of bounds.

Conspiracy Theorists fire up your engines:
If you're the NBA, who would you rather have in the Finals, reigning MVP and feel good story Kevin Durant, or the team that keeps The Donald Sterling Issue at the fore?

I didn't have no problem with the refs getting it wrong on the instant replay because they would've ruined the game either way because it should've been a foul.

Who in their right mind, given the chance to coach Steph Curry & Co in sunny Southern Calif would choose to take the job in Detroit?

Money and control, more than likely. I can see SVG coaching a couple years, getting things straight in Detroit then handing the coaching duties over to someone and relaxing as the president of basketball operations or whatever his title will be.

I'd rather take the Detroit job too. I feel like I could have coached that roster to the playoffs in the East last year, that's how awful Mo Cheeks is. Coaching GSW, you'd have to fight through so many good teams, the East is just an easier road to competency. And being your own boss, fuhgeddaboutit.
