Will Curry's Ankle Affect Warriors?Will Curry's Ankle Affect Warriors?

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry received treatment on his sprained left ankle Saturday and is considered a game-time decision for Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Meanwhile, his San Antonio Spurs counterpart, Tony Parker, sat out practice Saturday with a bruised left calf, but said he would "definitely" play Sunday.

"If he goes, he goes," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of Curry. "If he doesn't, then Jarrett Jack will be our starting point guard."

Those aren't reassuring words to Warriors fans who booed Jack and used his name in vain on the way out of Oracle Arena on Friday night. That reaction came after Jack missed a 3-pointer in a no-pass possession and threw the ball away late in the Warriors' 102-92 loss in Game 3, giving the Spurs a 2-1 lead in the series

However, Jack sounded confident Saturday that he could handle the job if asked to replace the Warriors' leading scorer and the playoffs' top assist man.

"I've done it many, many, many times," said Jack, who has started 253 regular-season and four playoff games during his eight-year NBA career. "It won't be anything [where] I've got to go in there and read a Phil Jackson Zen book or anything. I've just got to come out there and be ready to lead our team."

Curry sprained the ankle while he attempted to gather himself�after a pump fake with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He limped around, but ultimately remained in the game. Since scoring 44 points in Game 1, Curry has struggled with his shot, missing 25-of-37 field-goal attempts over the past two games.

Parker was having his best game of the playoffs when he inadvertently was kicked in the calf by Warriors center Andrew Bogut in the fourth quarter. Parker scored 32 points and made 13-of-23 shots, but only one of his field goals came in the final quarter.

"I couldn't elevate," Parker said. "My last couple shots were short and I missed my free throws. I couldn't feel my leg. Hopefully [Sunday], I'll feel better."

Parker said the bruise felt like he had a baseball in his left leg.

"It's really sore right now," Parker said. "I just can't see myself not playing. I'll definitely play."

Why Does a Rhino Horn Cost $300000? Because Vietnam Thinks It Cures ... - The Atlantic

A rhino-head heist spree is sweeping the world and destroying rhino populations, mostly because of some ridiculous myths Reuters It was in most respects a typical heist that happened in Dublin last month. Masked men, roughed-up security guards, $650,000 in stolen booty. But this wasn't art or jewelry that was stolen. The contraband, instead, was�four rhinoceros heads. Or, more specifically, their horns. And this wasn't the first time. A�rhino-head heist spree swept Europe in 2011, as thieves raided museums and auctions houses in seven countries, prompting 30�investigations by Europol, 20 of which are ongoing. Similar heists have also been on the rise in Africa, as well as in the odd American backwater town. Meanwhile, an online business thrives as well--including one dealer on Facebook who only accepts bitcoin. What is driving this "highly organized" crime ring? If you guessed "China," you were wrong. The answer is Vietnam. The country's appeti

After The Office, Dunder Mifflin Will Live On in Every Office - TIME

Donald Bowers / Getty Images for Quill.com Dunder Mifflin paper is now an actual product you can buy through Quill.com, a subsidiary of Staples. It sounds like the plot of an unaired episode of The Office'�Staples, the archnemesis of regional paper company Dunder Mifflin, licenses the smaller business's name and starts selling paper and other office products under its banner. You can easily envision Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute flying to the office supply giant's headquarters to win their company's name and honor back. Maybe there'd be a gift basket bribe involved. Thanks to some clever branding, fiction has become reality. Though Jim, Dwight, and the rest of the quirky characters on NBC's long-running sitcom will have their final cringeworthy moments together tonight in the show's series finale, Dunder Mifflin's paper will fill the copy machines and supply closets of real offices around the country for years to come. A Staples subsidiary,
