NBA history: 3 game 7's in one day.

 

[MHSL82]

Great playoffs so far in terms of OT games, comebacks, etc.

Tonight was a bad shooting day, but haven't followed the box scores much.

Atlanta Hawks 35.8
LA Clippers 36.8
Memphis Grizzlies 37.3
Golden State 39.3
Indiana Pacers 42.9
OKC 49.3

Compare that to the day before:

Brooklyn 53.3
Toronto 48.8
Houston 47.3
Spurs 46.6
Dallas 43.8
Portland 43.4

I enjoyed the Hawks-Pacers game the most yesterday.

 

[nuraman00]

I hope this isn't a repeat of the game 7's in 2005. That was the worst game 7 double header I've seen. Boston lost by 27 at home to Indiana. Dallas then beat Houston by 40.

 

[nuraman00]

Well, these game 7's aren't great. They're not as bad as 2005. Somewhere in between.

14 four-point plays...

Kevin Harlan's son graduated from high school.

I like the side-by-side pics.

 

[nuraman00]

14 four-point plays...

I think they're up to 18 now?

 

[nuraman00]

Duncan: "Thanks for pushing me.

Oh my god, it's an amazing feeling."

Pop: "You earned it."

 

[nuraman00]

James and Duncan hug.



Riley and Popovich hug.

 

[nuraman00]

Funny. Adam Silver gets cheered.

David Stern would have gotten booed.

 

[nuraman00]

"Kawhi Leonard, you're the Finals MVP, and now everyone knows."

I wish this game as more competitive, so I could have paid more attention to him.

In 2007, Parker said the THAT title was the "sweetest one".

Now in 2014, he says the same.



They're saying Manuuuuuuuuuu, not Boooo.



Manu is on NBA TV, sitting with the studio crew, with an Argentina flag draped around his lap.

Studio crew to Holt: You probably thought you were getting # 5 a year ago . . ."

Holt: Ooh, rub it in, rub it in, rub it in.


Grant Hill: For those of us that don't know about the organization . . .

Peter Holt: Well you should.

Grant Hill: Maybe I should have signed with the Spurs. What I meant was . . .

Holt: You tried to sneak Tim away.

 

[nuraman00]

Tony Parker joins the studio crew.

Webber starts doing his French laugh. "uh uh huh uh".

Parker: That's a tradition every time I come here. (Points to his eyes, then Webber's eyes). C-Webb, I got you. I got you.

 

[nuraman00]

Matt Winer: Everytime there's a reference about you.

Has anybody in the history of France spoken like that?

Parker: No, that's between C-Webb and I.

Reporter: Tim, this question is for your kids.

Tim: Yes!

Reporter: What do you think of your dad tonight?

(Kids look around, nervously).

Tim (to his kids): Do it.

Sydney (Daughter): I think he did awesome and he did his best.

(Sydney gives the mic to her brother, Draveen).

Tim: What else? What else? Say something nice about me.

(Kids laugh)

(Draveen doesn't know what to day. Sydney whispers something in his ear.)

Draveen: I like his hat.

(Everyone laughs.)

 

[nuraman00]

Ginobili: The last time I tried dunking, I got blocked by Caron Butler of the OKC Thunder, and my teammates made fun of me. They made me promise not to try it again.

But (today), in the heat of the battle, with the adrenaline going, I don't know what happened, and I tried it.

Four. We know that Karl Malone has a man crush on LeBron James. Sounds like John Stockton might have one too.
