The Golden State Warriors, who, you may have heard, won an NBA record 73 games this season, are being pushed to the brink by the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder, trailing 3-1 in a series where theyve been dominated up and down the court, losing their trio by an outrageous margin of 58 points. So needless to say, the outlook on the court appears pretty dire for the history makers against the Artists Formerly Known as the Seattle SuperSonics.
Off the court, their fans are locking up against even fiercer competitionthough fortunately outside sources prevented a knockout similar to the ones weve seen on the hardwood over the past week.
Legendary loudmouth and Space Jam thespian Charles Barkley, one of the few who saw the Oklahoma City storm coming (pun very much intended), almost came to rue that decision following the Game 3 defeat on Sunday night, a 133-105 OKC walloping. According to Sam Amick of the USA Today, an unifdentified Warriors fan ran into the current NBA on TNT analyst at a hotel near Chesapeake Energy Arena, and flat out challenged Sir Charles to a duel. According to Amick
There was pressure building on Sundaynight at a hotel bar not far from the Thunders home, where a wayward Warriors fan was so enraged that TNT analyst Charles Barkley picked the Thunder to win the series that he challenged him to an actual fight.
Amick later continues to say that Dubs owner Joe Lacob had to be separated from confrontation from a loud OKC fan during the same sorrowful defeat. (Amicks full piece can be found here).
Well, I can only imagine how this fan wouldve reacted during the Jason Richardson/Adonal Foyle days. Its sad enough to watch when history is denied to a all-time legendary team (groups such as the 2001 Seattle Mariners and 2007 New England Patriots can sympathize), but to see the off-court aspects of the 2015-16 Warriors fall apart at the seams is just a little too much. It showcases the negative aspects of sports and ruins it for the rest of us, well-behaved fans.
On the other hand, the tenacity shown by both Lacob and his would-be minion may come just in time to help another Bay Area championship contender, one that had much more success in its semifinal round.
Of course, the sport of hockey is known for its need of experienced fighters on the roster, and the newly crowned champion of the NHLs Western Conference happens to hail from nearby San Jose. No matter who the Bay Areas Shark face in the Stanley Cup Final, its bound to be a physical series. Well say hello to your two new enforcers, Shark Tank!
The Warriors bid to stay alive commences tonight at home in Oakland (9 PM, TNT).
After 25 years, the San Jose Sharks will finally play for the Stanley Cup.
Captain Joe Pavelski scored an early goal, Joel Ward added two of his own and the Sharks advanced to their first Stanley Cup final in franchise history by beating the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Wednesday night in Game 6 of the Western Conference final.

Joonas Donskoi also scored, Logan Couture had an empty-netter and Martin Jones made 24 saves as a Sharks team notorious for postseason letdowns will now play for the championship that has eluded stars such as Pavelski, Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau for so many years.
Thornton assisted on Pavelski"s goal less than four minutes into the game to set the tone and Marleau had two assists in the third period that set off chants of "We Want The Cup! We Want The Cup!"
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final will be Monday night. The Sharks will either host Tampa Bay or visit Pittsburgh, depending on which team wins Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final Thursday night.

With the loss, the Blues" postseason woes continue as the franchise still seeks its first championship and first trip to the Cup final since 1970. Coach Ken Hitchcock"s second goalie change of the series did not work as Brian Elliott allowed four goals on 26 shots in his return to the net.
Vladimir Tarasenko, a 40-goal scorer in the regular season, got his first points of the series when he scored twice in the third period but it was too late for the Blues, who still trailed 4-2.
Despite making the playoffs 16 times in 18 seasons and winning the second most games in the NHL since the start of the 2003-04 season, the Sharks have been known for their soul-crushing playoff disappointments.
They won just three games in three previous trips to the conference final, were knocked out twice in four seasons by an eighth seed and most notably blew a 3-0 series lead to lose in the first round to Los Angeles in 2014.

The impact of that loss lasted for an entire year as San Jose missed the playoffs entirely last season. But led by first-year coach Peter DeBoer and bolstered by some key acquisitions by general manager Doug Wilson, the Sharks recovered this year and are now only four wins away from a championship.
This was the first time in San Jose"s history that the team played with a trip to the Stanley Cup final on the line. The atmosphere in the Shark Tank reflected the high stakes with the fans at a frenzy during pregame introductions and the "Let"s Go Sharks!" chants starting soon after the puck dropped.
The Sharks fed off that energy and were buzzing early as Hitchcock predicted before the game. St. Louis nearly silenced the crowd when Alexander Steen got a chance in the slot early in the period but Jones robbed him with a glove save.
That led to a breakaway for Thornton, who missed the net on his chance. But Pavelski recovered the puck behind the net and before Elliott knew what was happening, Pavelski tucked the puck in on a wraparound for his NHL-leading 13th goal of the playoffs.
San Jose added to the lead early in the second when Ward tipped a point shot from Brent Burns past Elliott to make it 2-0.
The Sharks had a chance to add to it when Scottie Upshall was called for a four-minute high-sticking penalty. But the Blues managed to kill San Jose"s potent power play and started to take over the play after that. They couldn"t get a goal the rest of the period, however, as San Jose kept them mostly to the outside and Jones made a great pad save against Jori Lehtera.
Ward"s second goal and another by Donskoi in the third period removed any drama and allowed the fans to celebrate.

Steven Adams Tosses Fastball Pass to Andre Roberson
The most entertaining media presence in the NBA might be Adams, whose mustache, tales from New Zealand and wonderful accent have regaled us for three full seasons now. Here"s an incomplete list of all the ways we has impressed us.
Steven Adams is a 22-year-old starting center for the Oklahoma City Thunder who was born in New Zealand, is the youngest of 18 children, looks like a caveman, has a full-sleeve of tattoos,has his own brand of mustache wax and is generally an absolute fan favorite for anyone who has ever had contact with him. While that applies to Thunder fans, it also applies to media members. I spent a couple weeks covering the Thunder"s second-round series against the Spurs and believe it"s officially time to declare Adams the most entertaining interview in the NBA. I could listen to him answer questions about basketball for hours, probably.
There are hundreds of moments from Adams" three-year career, but all the ones listed below are from these 2016 playoffs. That"s all we need to prove my case.
Accent
We must start here. Adams is a 7-foot behemoth who has only become more terrifying while growing his hair out and adding a violent mustache to complete the look. Yet his accent is perhaps the most disarming, enchanting accent I"ve ever heard. Just listen to him talk for a couple minutes. It"s wonderful.
Duncan
Before the series, Adams told this story about Tim Duncan.
And he talked more about it at the end of the series, too.
Dunking
"Those are quite painful, actually," Adams said. "I"ve done more damage to my hands."
Now I feel the tiniest bit bad for being so excited every time he dunks. As basketballs can attest, though,rims are not pleasant.
Fart town
A loving nickname for his hometown.
Fans with orange mustaches
There apparently was a group of superfans who wore orange mustaches in support of Steven Adams. He loves them.
Asked if he would ever consider dyeing his mustache orange, Adams was very against that idea.
"I would have no friends," he protested. "I would lose the two friends I have right now!"
Let the record show that Adams definitely has more than two friends.
Forgetting his rookie seasonHating bread
I asked Adams about the Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook"s off-court relationship, and he responded like this: "If you can break bread with a guy, you will actually go the extra mile on the court, that just happens."
Don"t mistake that for thinking Adams would break bread with anyone, though.
"Hate bread. Too many carbs," he said, walking away.
Introductions
For reasons I don"t remember, a television guy started introducing Adams every time he was about to start his media appearances. You know, just like this: "Ladies and gentlemen, Steeeeeven Adaaaaaams!"
Later on, the same television guy wasn"t there.
"No introduction?" Adams asked, genuinely sad. Someone else filled in and gave him one, and Adams" day was saved.
"Mate"
He may say "mate" every other sentence. Here"s a brief supercut.
Migraines
Adams gets migraines, evenplaying through one during the Thunder"s series-clinching Game 6 win over the Spurs.
I asked him what those foods that he"s "off for life" as he walked away, and he just got sad.
"I can"t tell you," he said. "It just cuts me."
Nooooothing?"Swinging at the knees"
That"s two examples, but he has used this more than twice.Yes, this is a euphemism for having a big s*****g.
Testicles
Draymond Green"sinfamous kick to Adams" nuts was the biggest story in sports for a couple days. There was a certain poetry to it ...
Tiny doppleganger"That"s about it"
No supercut, but this is the other fallback for Adams. "So yeah, that"s about it," or "Yeah mate, that"s pretty much all." He"ll end every other answer with this.
