    Loved that sequence, thought it was going to be a prelude to the rest of the night where Nick and Ingram made life hell for him.

    Someone check on Byron after Uncle P's pick 3 to win the game. Better yet don't check on him, let the revival of Nick Young continue on current trajectory.

    Yeah... the travel was... ugh. But, that's not something a ref would call at the end of tight game, so...

    Thought it was quite obvious too... add it to Kerr's blooper reel. In the meantime we'll take this W :rock:

    After you guys brought it up, I had to watch the replay a few times before I could tell Nick probably technically travelled.

    But that's not just a "it's the end of the game so we'll let it slide" kind of no call. That's just flat out not going to get called at any point of the game in today's NBA.

    It can only be a travel if the player has possession of the ball. The ball almost came out of Nick's left hand before he secured it.

    Yeah, and in his interview he said D'Angelo whispered (something like) go ahead and "do it" with the ice in my veins thing. Tells me these guys have completely buried the hatchet and are all about the team and winning, whoever steps up. Great to see. Metta over on the sidelines certainly wanting to play .... but still so excited for the team.

    Thanks for the great effort on RW, Nick (nothing anyone can do when he gets that hot in a game) and for that crazy game winning shot.

    Lets not forget that Nick also hit that 3 as time ran out @ the half to put us up 1. Then to go on and hit the game winning 3......ice in his DNA, forget about veins.

    Westbrook as amazing as he was in the 4th, couldn't do the same.

    I wish everyone would have this type of revival after they break up with their gf...

    on another note, one might even say we all have d'angelo to thank for swaggy's improvement.

    it all started with that snap just sayin :Brows::Noddingyes:

    The "steal" and game winner, the kind of play that would make Kobe proud haha.

    He had a few good defensive possessions against Westbrook there.

    Don't remember which writer tweeted it or if true, but he claims it was from an inside source ...... the FO just purchased brand new one for each players locker. Honest. :giggle:
