Loving Basketball: No Sense Game 6 to War Zone Game 7

Think-Talk Gallery

Golden State Warriors (GSW)-Sacramento Kings’ (SK) Game 6 just didn’t make any common sense. “It was the biggest loss in the franchise’s history” (Klay Thompson). The Warriors who, two days prior, had played energetically, with mental acuity on hostile grounds and won, couldn’t bring in the clutch on their home court. It didn’t make sense to me and to the several million viewers watching.

The fabled “championship DNA,” so evident in Game 5, vanished in a heap of despair under the withering assault of the unrelenting Kings.

San Francisco was buzzing. But, from the onset till end, Warriors were lethargic. What happened? Did the time change have a ripple effect on the players? I don’t think so though fans and the transit agency thought otherwise. So, what went wrong between Wednesday and Friday is anyone’s guess. I didn’t see the Warriors playing. I saw different bodies on the court; may it never be again.

Game 6 was highly physical with injuries, high turnovers, and fouls. SK was resilient and brought in clutch and rallied the fourth quarter to win the night’s game forcing a Game 7.

I can only imagine what Game 7 will be today. The stakes are much higher for the defending champion GSW, but all is well. The game should be tagged the Season’s must-watch game. It’s going to be fire and explosions all the way.

I’m equally curious to know Game 7’s viewership. According to The Sacramento Bee (Sacramento’s local newspaper) the duos Game 5 had 4.29 million viewers while Game 4 has had the highest viewership of over 10 million so far. You can watch Game 7 live on the NBA App or on national television ABC Channel 7.

Can you guess how many viewers will be watching? Think-Talk predicts that it will surpass Game 4’s.

Again, here’s hoping that Game 7 makes sense; less turnovers and fouls, and more clutches and resilience while bringing on the super-mentality, physicality, but with no injuries. God help all.
