Cheers to @NFL for not holding a supplemental draft. We are living in an age where people seem to think the ends justify the means without considering how the means deployed can undermine deeper values and “ends” we take for granted. More to come I’m sure!

@TerenceFoy @Inside_Lacrosse @RobPannell3 @PaulRabil @3dLacrosse Also does a fantastic dog bark.

He also has stints with the NY Lizards, where he coached @RobPannell3 & @PaulRabil, with @3dLacrosse, where he was National Director of Training, and with Turkey Lacrosse.

Coaching News: Mercer HC Ryan Danehy is set to become @OhioStateMLAX OC, multiple sources tell @Inside_Lacrosse. Few guys have a more interesting résumé than Danehy, whose prior stops include Bucknell, Penn (where he coached w/ OSU HC Nick Myers' brother Pat) & TTUN (Michigan).

Going back to Golden State in 2021/2022, every champ was favored by odds makers to win the following year immediately after the championship. That is, until the @nyknicks in 25/26. Fine by me. I’m sure Rick Brunson prefers it this way too.

Watchu lookin at Hwemby @NBA 👀🤔

I ❤️ NY

Behind 45 points from Jalen Brunson, Knicks win in San Antonio to clinch franchise's first NBA title in 53 years. Masterpiece from the NYK captain, who had 15 in fourth to help NYK rebound from 7-pt deficit. Massive offensive rebound from Mitchell Robinson late helped seal game

@IanBegley We’ll be holding it down in my backyard, tickets price is ALL THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART

Watch Party information for Game 5 on Saturday, which includes a ticketed 3,000-person watch party outside of MSG:

Diabolical

😂

I can’t get enough of this. LGK

On repeat. Forever. LGK

Normally, ushers at MSG are telling fans that they need to leave at this point in the night. Not tonight:

@ohnohedidnt24 Not to nitpick but that clip is a little over 4 mins long and Brown talks about officiating explicitly for maybe 2 mins of it. Speaking up helps to keep his guys focused on their play. Simple as that.

Mike Brown spent almost 5 minutes at the start of his presser complaining about the officiating:

@cullenroche It’s not that the spurs are dirty. It’s that the whistle is inconsistent, at least in this series. Could care less about the OKC flop fest.

People complaining that Wemby and the Spurs are "dirty" have it backward. The NBA got soft and everyone hated it. Bring back the physical era and let these guys rough each other up. It’s exactly what the league needs.

’09: rips refs over Nuggets free-throw gap, part of $50K in fines April ’10: fined $35K twice in 2 weeks (Spurs refs + Durant “superstar” calls), Stern warns the whole league ’11: fined $35K for the Gasol post-shoving gripe Maybe coach sometimes stands up so players can play 🤷‍♂️

Hey @SHAQ quick refresh of Phil Phil’s greatest hits, complaining about NBA refs 🧵 ’94: claims Bulls-Knicks series was “orchestrated” for TV ratings ’98: says Pacers got to play “8 men on defense,” fined $10K ’04: accuses ref of bias v you, $50K ’07: Kobe “witch hunt”, $50K

@emacSNY Unbelievable Brown needed the challenge to get that call. First 2 games, every commentator that talks about Spurs youth or road to championship should be required to mention the foul welfare they received.

Challenge on OG 3 was the turning point

If you exclude the Hack-a-Mitch fouls, and the 3 pt foul against OG that Mike Brown had to challenge to get, the Spurs took 27 free throws last night to @nyknicks 12. Love these Knicks. Staying focused despite things that would throw off most teams.
