- The Pick One party is over. And the CD skipping is the season's final failed Triple Double Down.
- It really didn't matter in Game 5 who Matt picked (that along with Ryan was Aaron Nesmith by the way) as long as Draymond Green didn't get a triple-double.
- There was significant risk in putting one's entire season on the shoulders of a man who has played so chaotically this series but Trevor needed to do so seeing how Green was one of only two Warriors to reach the milestone (the other being Stephen Curry) this year.
- While Golden State won and their bench played fantastically (see Al's pick Gary Payton II), Green did his customary rugby routine and fouled out with just over three minutes left, shy of every triple-double stat killing the dream of the miracle comeback. These will be your final standings and while the recaps will come out for Game 6 (and Game 7 if necessary) as some sort of OCD admin, congratulations to Matt on taking home the first Challenge crown of his career!
