Objectively true.

@samesfandiari Last year? This season.

Last year: 25 rookies averaged over 20mpg.... Of those 25, 18 played over 60 games... Of those 18, 6 did it on teams who made play-in or playoffs....

@WorldWideWob Kawhi was three bounces. This was one.

THE KAWHI SHOT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN!?!?!?

Not a fucking thing.

@howboutthemsox @balldontTy @HPbasketball I agree. Jokic is better.

@balldontTy @HPbasketball I should smack you for comparing Rodgers to this fucking fatass

People that wanted to rewrite Jokic's legacy are going to do so because they've had to suck it up and take it for three years. They will not be convinced otherwise. You're better off just rolling your eyes and keep it moving. He's accomplished REAL things. He's been incredible. He sucked in this series from start to finish outside of Game 5. You play who's in front of you. He bears burden for the failure of this year's team more than his defenders will want to believe and less than his haters will. You're never going to stop people from trying to tear down someone who has accomplished what he has if they still want to. If he hasn't earned their respect yet, they will never give it to him because it's too detrimental to their base sports opinions.

@vladimir_s65091 @AndrewDBailey Calm down.

I can't believe anybody supports Malone. EFF Michael Malone and EFF everyone who loves him. Calvin Booth was a GOAT manager compared to POS Malone. The list of players that Booth brought in and Malone never played is long and let's not forget game 7 .Both Malone and Westbrook are effectively out of the league.

I still think you can defend the Michael Porter Jr.-Cameron Johnson trade (maybe not easily, but still). The Nuggets canning Michael Malone (instead of just Calvin Booth) and turning their noses up at Russell Westbrook looks terrible today.

@TheAthletic @BetMGM Neither have you.

Nikola Jokić has never beaten a team in the playoffs with more than 50 wins. H/T @BetMGM

@AndrewDBailey You are right. It is a poor stat.

Win shares have understandably fallen out of favor, but Rudy Gobert is 11th (yes, 11th) in career win shares per 48 minutes, behind only… Jokić, Jordan, Robinson, Wilt, Neil Johnston, Kareem, CP3, Magic, LeBron and Barkley.

It's kinda funny that Jokic is the most self aware humble superstar ever. Hes never claimed to be the best, constantly says others are more talented. He has been put on a pedestal at times but ill always appreciate how much hes achieved and will continue to against the odds

She is wearing sneakers.

Ugh.

@cav_fanatic @WorldWideWob Why literally?

@WorldWideWob His successor is Shai. It's been Shai since last season. They literally eliminated him last season. Fym bro 💀

Jokic has been impeached and removed as the consensus Best Player In The World. Primaries for his successor begin Round 2.

I could see David Adelman and Ime Udoka being fired this offseason.

It really is fascinating. I wanna hear everyone’s best theory on why some teams and players are officiated differently than others. It obviously happens. That’s unarguable at this point. And I think there may be reasonable explanations. So let’s hear ‘em.

@achester99 Derek Fisher stinks.

Most NBA games with exactly _ points: 0: Greg Kite 295 1: Reggie Evans 61 2: Harvey Catchings 193 3: Nic Batum 116 4: TR Dunn 160 5: Derek Fisher 117 6: Michael Cage 151 7: Fisher 102 8: PJ Brown 122 9: Fisher 111 10: Charles Oakley 125 11: Jason Kidd 106 12: John Stockton 114

@tomhaberstroh Good. It would not have been an issue, because those teams would not have tanked if they knew that a top pick was coming. The league would have been better for it.

Draft picks that would have been barred under the new draft reform proposal: James Harden (OKC), Al Horford (ATL), Dylan Harper (SAS), Deandre Ayton (PHX), Ben Simmons (PHI), Evan Mobley (CLE), Lonzo Ball (LAL), Andrew Wiggins (CLE), Amen/Ausar Thompson. And Markelle Fultz (PHI).

Jackson Merrill should stop batting third at some point. #Padres

@MZavagno11 Good fortune is wasted on some people and some teams.

It’s beyond frustrating that the NBA cannot accept that giving good players to bad teams is healthy for the continued success of the league

@AyyseeNBA @_utilitysports @tomhaberstroh Good luck. I wish I was doing that.

@RealKevinBrewer @_utilitysports @tomhaberstroh Got you. I don’t think your ideas are bad, just need some fine tuning. I’m currently a Master’s student at ASU studying Sports Law and Contract Management so I was just interested to see more. This has been nice in comparison to majority of NBA Twitter lol

Interesting provision: "no team would be able to win three consecutive top-five picks" Would have prevented: Spurs (Wemby, Castle, Harper) Pistons (Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Holland) Cavs (Mobley, Garland, Okoro) Rockets (Green, Jabari, Amen, Reed)

@AyyseeNBA @_utilitysports @tomhaberstroh I am not a capologist, but you would get a rookie budget. You can spend it on two rookies or 10, if you can find them that cheap. It would help for each team to have a dedicated minor league team.

@RealKevinBrewer @_utilitysports @tomhaberstroh Explain the rookie salary cap further please. Are you suggesting they get specific set-in-stone contracts or it vary rookie to rookie?
