I still think GSW have the ability to come back - I say GSW in 7.
They should have got 1 of these 2 games - today was a choke.

There's a good story in this game too. Derek Fisher was at the hospital out of town with one of his daughters (cancer between the eye and brain - and she's not even a year old).
Things go well at hospital and the family jet into town, police escort to the stadium. Fisher arrives near the end of the third quarter, just as Deron Williams picks up his fourth foul. Meanwhile, their other back-up is in hospital after running in Mehmet Okur earlier.
Fisher enters the game, picks up a crucial steal, nails a three, and the Jazz come back to win.
Nice.

Talking of cancer and the eye, how's that young kid in the 'Tiser today? Lost his second eye to cancer, and asks Mum and Dad after the operation "when will I see again?" Those who have kids can guess how tough that would be.

Fisher's little girl has exactly the same disease....Retinoblastoma
