"No doubt, which is why the NBA's actions were unnecessary."

Totally necessary, unless you wanted the season to end yesterday.... the fierce urgency of now. It wasn't just the Warriors; the other games were gonna do this, too. Consider it a wildcat strike.

LOS ANGELES -- After all the anticipation, perhaps the most dramatic element of Game 5 was what didn't happen.

Warriors players had a devised a plan that, had they gone through with, would've been one for the history books. The plan was to go through the pre-game festivities Tuesday night, then take the floor for the opening tip. Dap the Clippers starters, as is customary, and get in position for the jump ball.

As soon as it was tossed, point guard Stephen Curry said his team was going to walk off the floor in protest. All of them.

"It would have been our only chance to make a statement in front of the biggest audience that we weren't going to accept anything but the maximum punishment," Curry said. "We would deal with the consequences later but we were not going to play."
