The puck's over there somewhere! Get it! Uh oh...

You've probably heard of the organization called PETA. They're the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They work on protecting animals from mistreatment and cruelty. I propose creating an extension to that group called PETSF, People for the Ethical Treatment of Sharks Fans. It's bad enough that the Sharks lost AGAIN in the postseason. It's a form of animal cruelty to Sharks fans when you see HOW they lost in double OT:
Youtube link: Canucks final goal
The Canucks players didn't know where the puck went. The Sharks players didn't know where the puck went. For god's sake, even the camera man didn't know where the puck went. Only Canucks player Kevin Bieksa saw it because it ricocheted off a stanchion right to him. And in hockey, OT = sudden death, so that lucky Bieksa goal instantly terminated the Sharks playoff season. When you add in a questionable icing call against the Sharks in the 3rd period that eventually led to the Canucks game-tying goal, you may want to donate a few bucks to PETSF.
So if you see a Sharks fan crying their eyes out or cursing the sky at the hockey gods, give 'em a hug, buy 'em a drink, and tell them that you're a Warriors fan and you understand pain. Then grab a plane for Dallas for tonight's game to see if the Mavericks can close out their series.

Oklahoma City @ Dallas Mavericks, Game 5
Kevin Durant: All you can do is suck it up and learn from it.
Kevin Durant and the Thunder are done in this series. They can't stay poised and close out a game. All they can do now is take what they've learned and use it for next season.

as a major sharks fan and part of a family with season tickets we split with a couple people…it was basically a pretty blank feeling ending that way. in the moment it was like “….what?!” the pain with the sharks 2011 run is that unlike losing last year to chicago who were a bit better in every game of the finals, this was a very winnable sereies and 4 of the 5 games the sharks should have won but beat themselves. it’s just starting to really sink in now the next day. ugh. anyways, so now that Brown is down, who are the new top prospects for a coach?
In this order (I want)
1. Lawrence Frank
2. Adelman
3. Shaw

As a Californian
It’s hard for me to get psyched for hockey. A wise man once told me, “If your cities pond doesn’t freeze in the winter, you shouldn’t have an NHL team.”
I beg to differ on the “wise” part

Less than half of our country has actually played hockey
Yet all of us have grown up playing T-Ball, rec league basketball, or two hand touch football. I don’t feel the NHL should be up there with the NFL,MLB, or NBA. Great sport nonetheless. Hockey players are some of the toughest athletes.
tell that to the lightning, ducks, and stars
and to an extent the blues and kings.

Haha the players aren't from those respective cities
Most NHL players come from Canada or the Eastern bloc
I would like a drink.

If the Thunder lose the series, all the blames going on Westbrook
costing the Thunder games when he shoots so much and doesn’t get Durant and Harden involved.
Wanna feel real torture? Try being a Warrior fan.
Barea such a clutch

Nobody cares when Stevenson shoots
I certainly don’t
The Mavs are so ready to double team swarm Durant
Durant forced that bad 3
Westbrook tech #6
he’s gotta learn to control himself
Its still weird. The thunderstorms are playing excellently but the Macs don’t feel pressured at all. It almost feels like they think they are going to win no matter what

Wow, Dirk with a nifty reverse layup
Big man acting like a guard
It is NOT Durant's night
missed baseline dunk
let's see if the Thunder can execute in crunch time
inside 5 mins now
Dirk's 3 takes the lead!
1:14 to go. Thunder could NOT get the rebound from the previous miss
harden man....
If he isn’t 2nd leading scorer on okc next year and not getting 34-38mpg, Brooks needs to be fired.
i think there's an argument
although perhaps not a completely sound one, he should be fired for his coaching performance in these playoffs. letting westbrook run as wild as he has while durant sits idle is close to criminal
there's another example
while he got the foul there was no intention at all of passing
Westbrooks decision making is suspect
It’s obvious he’s a comboguard learning point.
But lets be honest. 4 of OKC’s 5 biggest minute players are under 22. Getting to conference finals is a huge achievement
but at some point
the coach has to have control of the team and say no, we’re not going to have this. the best thing brooks did all playoffs was benching westbrook in the 4th of game 2 (i think it was)
but i agree
that the conference finals are a big achievement for this team, which is why i said the firing argument now isn’t completely sound
Rebound fail

I remember why i LOVED Shawn Marion so much
Return of the matrix for atleast one night
Now have fun with Lebron
That’s the match up which will decide the series IMO
Yeah I was like “do you really need to do that?”

It's over
nice try, Thunder, you need a point guard to run your team and let Westbrook cut and slice through the defense
Oh wow
Rick Barry presents the Western Conference trophy
I like how Rick will say whatever he wants
Not really the normal ‘pc’ presentation
Exactly

How much do Rick Carlisle and current Jim Carey look alike?
They are like twins? 10 out of 10
Hahahaha, poor Doris
She wanted to interview the players, they had all left for the locker room already
Fuck this interview shit, let’s party!
