Good stuff. I'll just add to that with 3 questions. At this time last year, how many people:

 

1) Had Golden State as one of their Top 5 title contenders? (be honest)

2) Thought the Warriors were nuts to not give up Klay Thompson to get Kevin Love?

3) Truly knew who Draymond Green was?

4) Thought Steve Kerr was as gimmicky a TV-to-head coach hire as Mark Jackson was?

1) My pre-season prediction had them with the best record in the West and losing to the Spurs in the WCF's.

2) I did think they should have made the trade. Oops

3) I thought Green was good, but sure, I didn't expect him to be THAT good.

4) I did not think that.

1) Check.

2) I liked Thompson more than most...  (also thought the Cavs were dumb to give up Wiggins for Love)

3) Knew who he was, didn't expect that impact.

4) Didn't know how Kerr would do... did think moving on from Jackson was a good move.

ESPN: Former NBA star Lamar Odom fighting for his life after being found unconscious

 

After his prior episodes, you kind of had a feeling it might end up this way. Hope he pulls through.

 

And let the lesson be that if you're gonna pull a multi-day binge at a brothel, "herbal Viagra" and cognac don't mix.

[Pedro Cerrano]

This is sad.  Odom would drive me nuts but always seemed like a good guy and, of course, was a key member on two title teams

Report: ‘Virtually every drug imaginable’ found in Lamar Odom’s system

 

It's being reported as a stroke.
