Warriors remain VICTORIOUS! Beat OKC..Now heads to championship against Cleveland!
OAKLAND CA- It was nervy before it was brilliant, before the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry poured 36 points into the 96-88 culmination of an incredible comeback from down 3-1 in the Western Conference finals, just the 10th team to achieve the feat. On Monday night, the Warriors completed their crawl from the grave, while simultaneously snagging a second straight ticket to the Finals. After starting Andre Iguodala for the first time all season, the Warriors closed the Oklahoma City Thunder out.
When asked whether he gets classic pregame butterflies in his stomach, Klay Thompson told ESPN.com, “No.” Then a pause, followed by an admission.
“OK, for a game like this, a little bit.”
For a game like this, is unlike any other game. “Game 7,” the two best words as the saying goes, can actually produce some hideous basketball because it is unique. The extreme variance of Game 7 can express itself as rushed jumpers, held passes and general stagnation.
For a game like this, is unlike any other game. “Game 7,” the two best words as the saying goes, can actually produce some hideous basketball because it is unique. The extreme variance of Game 7 can express itself as rushed jumpers, held passes and general stagnation.
True to that framework, Golden State had a jittery beginning as Oklahoma City locked down defensively. A general anxiety seemed to restrict the offensive flow.
The Thunder are, in some ways, well positioned for such a game -- they’re the best offensive rebounding team in basketball. So Oklahoma City's misses are more easily converted into something productive. When Golden State shots go begging, the team receives little in the way of charity. After the first quarter, the Thunder had outscored the Warriors 6-1 on second-chance points.
But Thompson, as he’s often done this playoffs, provided his team with some necessary airspace. He banged home four second-quarter 3-pointers, the first of which brought the crowd relief as much as a jolt. Golden State was teetering, threatening to fall down big in the second stanza yet again. Instead, the Warriors managed to close the half down 48-42, well within striking distance at home. Curry finished the half with a sprinting floater high off the glass that teased physics.
And then, the deluge.
Perhaps the butterflies flew away as Golden State stomped Oklahoma City in the third quarter, 29-12. It started with three consecutive possessions with a 3-pointer (Curry, Thompson, and Iguodala). That, combined with some hounding defense, helped unlock the dam as the offense gained a flow so free that Anderson Varejao looked off Curry and scored on a dribble drive. Some of the shots were suboptimal, but no matter: They went in. And that’s how the Warriors often win. Their bad shots are better than yours.
From there, Oklahoma City fought, and briefly made a game of it late in the fourth quarter when Kevin Durant brought its deficit from 11 to 4 in three possessions. That brief scare was averted when Serge Ibaka, who’d been grabbing Curry for much of the game, finally knocked him in view of a referee.
Three free throws brought the Warriors a measure of relief, but it wasn’t the exclamation. That came when, with under 30 seconds and the score 93-86, Curry wrapped the ball around his back, lost Andre Roberson and capped off the adventure with a 3-pointer.
And with that, it was done. Curry had found his MVP form again, the Warriors had found themselves again, and again Golden State is back in the Finals. There are more butterflies on deck, waiting to take flight.

#EMPIRE: FOR THE LAST TIME, Jamal will NOT leave the show!
Despite what you’re hearing from BET.com who has a new ‘Alleged’ word on the grapevine suggested that Jamal Lyon may not be involved in Empire Season 3. Fortunately, Ilene Chaiken has put that rumor firmly to bed
Fans of Empire were really NOT OKAY with Jamal being the gun shot victim... That one solitary week between Episode 17 and Season 2's finale felt like an eternity - all we wanted to know was that our darling Jamal was safe. Fortunately, "Past Is Prologue" pictured the middle Lyon cub recovering from his injuries - panic over. Or so we thought... Ever since Season 2 drew to a close, debate has been rife on social media as to whether or not Jussie Smollett's character will be around in Season 3. Seemingly fed-up with the unnecessary chatter, Empire EP, Ilene Chaiken, has been quick to quash any such speculation. Speaking to TV Line, Chaiken shared: "It's the same damn cycle, all the time. Season 3 will be about really examining the journey of Jamal's recovery. In the finale, he comes out of the hospital after being shot, but he's clearly not recovered physically, and certainly not psychologically."
Not buddies any more...
Chaiken confirmed that Jamal will "continue to dig in his heels" about his family ending their backstabbing, violent ways: "The question now is, can Jamal also bring his brothers and his mother along with him on this stance, and say 'This is no longer how we have to go about our lives and our business?'" From where we're standing, Ilene, no he probably can't... But who doesn't love a good challenge, eh? When all's said and done, the most important take-away from this interview is that Jamal definitely WILL be involved in Season 3, and arguably more-so than ever before! There will also be a return for Mal's 'close friend', Miss Freda Gatz. According to Chaiken: "She's part of our story. It's not over. Jamal understands she's a victim, but he still has to deal with the fact that she shot him." Watch this space, folks - there's way more to come here... Did you expect Jamal to return?

Hip Hop News: Troy Ave’s Court Date Has Been PUSHED BACK!
The rapper is still recuperating from shooting himself.
Maggie Heckstall, one of the victims of the shooting that happened at a T.I. concert last week in New York City, isn’t pleased with how police have been treating her.
Heckstall was the fourth victim in the shooting and was hit in the knee during the chaotic scene. As reported, the bullet lodged in her leg cannot be removed because it’s too close to vital nerves and police aren’t happy about it. They were hoping they could retrieve the bullet as evidence to build a stronger case.
During an interview with the New York Post, Heckstall said that police have been treating her like a criminal and not a victim from the beginning, such as hounding her for information while her wounds were being treated in the ambulance ride to the hospital. She is planning on suing the NYPD for harrassment.
“Anytime anyone would walk to my door, they had six officers out here, staring into my room,” she says. “I cooperated with the officers. I don’t know if they wanted me to tell them more, but I don’t know what happened. Shots went off. Lights went off. I just tried to get out the room.”
According to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, the shells recovered at the scene have been tested but they are still awaiting results.
“I will say that shell casing you saw that was fired is in line with other shell casings recovered inside the VIP room,” Detective Boyce said. He also alluded that there could be a possibility of another shooter, but details have yet to surface regarding that.
Troy Ave was supposed to appear in court on May 29th, but his court date has been pushed back to later this upcoming week while he recovers from shooting himself in the leg during the incident.
While he is currently being charged with attempted murder, there is a good possibility the charges will be upgraded to murder.

Jazze Pha Is Broker Than some of the peoples Music Careers he produced!
In the music industry, producers and songwriters tend to be the ones that eat off of their success the longest.
After all, royalties can make life quite comfortable years and years down the line. Just look at how Kandi Burruss has managed to live a life of comfort and luxury off of her royalties from songs like “Bills Bills Bills,” “No Scrubs” and NSYNC’s “It Makes Me Ill.”
Jazze Pha was supposed to be set for life. The Atlanta-based producer’s list of hits includes Ciara’s “1,2 Step” and “Get Up,” along with many other notable artists in Atlanta including Usher, Bow Wow and T.I.
But Jazze’s big spending ways caught up with him because according to court documents that the Jasmine Brand pulled, Jazze Pha is BROKE, y’all.
The legendary producer filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy on April 28th in Georgia, explaining he is drowning in over $625k owed to creditors.
According to the court documents, the music producer – who runs his company Futureristic Entertainment – has less than $590k in assets and over $625k owed in liabilities to creditors.
The producer says his gross income for this year has only been $30k and last year he only made $65k from his business. His monthly income is listed as zero but his company racks in $14k per month.
His assets include $3k in his bank account, $60 in cash on hand, his 2 music companies are worth $1k each, the producer is owed $10k in royalties, his Georgia home along with along with a 2010 & 2015 Cadillac Escalade, $30k in household goods, $1k in electronics, $1k in clothing & $1k in jewelry (necklace).
The crazy thing is that Jazze was JUST on “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” last season acting like his shit didn’t stink when Mimi was trotting over her so-called artists Jessica Dime and Tiffany Foxx to work with him. Come to find out Jazze really needed a check from Mona and was just posin’ for da cameras.
Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

'Jasmine loves daddy's tattoos!' The Rock shares snap of his little girl staring at his biceps...
The sweet family picture came as the actor revealed he was thrashing out the final details for his next movie, a passion project based on comicbook hero Doc Savage.
As usual, the 44-year-old superstar shared all the details in long captions next to Instagram snaps.
Dwayne posted the adorable photo of Jasmine checking out the tattoos on his shoulder and back.
He explained: 'After we feed her, Jasmine just loves looking at daddy's tattoos. I think it helps her digest.
'Can't wait to one day explain to her what all this means. Chat about her cultures (Samoan, Armenian, African American and Italian).
'And while these symbols may appear to be primitive, unsophisticated and crude - they're extremely sacred, thousands of years old and very powerful. My mana (strength).
'Ironically enough the symbol she's fixated on is our ATUA (our God) protected by the small building blocks of my life and then by shark teeth.
'Yuuuuup, we gonna have some good daddy/daughter chats. Until then she'll continue to use daddy's tattoos as a place to scratch, drool and spit up.'
On Monday, the Fast & Furious 8 star was all business as he revealed Doc Savage is a go.
