I don't know what I like better -- Monta Ellis' trick shot or the subsequent handshake.

I'd say the handshake -- how long do you have to practice that with the other guy before you get it down?

Stephen Curry fouled out last night and stayed in the game.

NBA Rule No. 3 (Section 1A) was invoked when the Warriors were down to four available players due to injuries and foul-outs. Curry got to remain in the game but subsequent fouls would produce a technical free throw along with the regular free throws.

You know, I always thought the hockey night in Canada theme should just be a long drum solo.
