Anyone just see this? An OT, record breaking 3's, fouls on 3 pointers, missed free throws, a 20+ pt comeback. I love these type of games.
The 4th quarter + OT were off the charts. Have never seen 3-point shooting like that. Monta Ellis, Dorrell Wright and J-Rich were unconscious. The two teams score 41 points in the 5-minute overtime. WOW! Nice way to end a week.
Got DAMN! Monta's the best pure scorer in the Western Conference, hands down. Not to mention, a living legend in HS basketball down South. He averaged 38 PPG as a senior in Mississippi, and his mythical performance, and I even remember my hillbilly of a head coach drooling over his infamous performance against Greenwood. Most of us born and raised in Houston, were unfamiliar with Monta at the time, but legend has it he dropped 65 on his district rival the first go-around, and then came back and racked up 72 (30 in the 4th quarter) in front of a hostile crowd in their house just weeks later. He was god-like around those parts, no lie. Ellis, DaJuan Wagner, and LeBron were just on another level at the high school ranks... down right child's play. And he fell all the way to 40th in the draft... SMGDH. He and LaMarcus Aldridge were slapped in the face this year by not being selected to the All-Star game. Absolutely criminal... and Pop dragged Timmy Duncan's washed-up corpse to LA.
Yeah it was an amazing game. For those who missed it here are some highlights: <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/e-8kCnjz-go" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
For people that have NBALPBB, watch the OT. I know 41 points has to be a record. Just an unbelievable 5 mins of basketball. If you have a little more time, watch the 4th quarter too. Late-night Warriors home games are usually good, but this one was on another level. The Warriors fought so hard yet did so many dumb things to blow the game in regulation it was exhausting. After Ellis' back-to-the-basket flip shot, you knew this was special. In the big picture, the Magic have to be pretty ticked at blowing a chance to gain on the Heat. Unless Miami collapses, they are locked in at #3 and Orlando is stuck at #4.
Warriors are the one team that has like the college atmosphere at their games , despite their bad seasons. I think cuz they have such a exciting up and down offense ,fans still love their team despite no D and a terrible record. I am starting to think even OKC Thunder have that type of atmosphere , but GS is one of kind . When i visit San Fran this summer , too bad the NBA season will be over .
