god

@MichaelOnSports No need for all that. Dude came up big against that tough, glass crashing Houston team

Thinking about the pre-draft story about Deandre Ayton where kids used to call him "TFN" aka Tall For Nothing.

@Dom_2k Still, when it’s either ‘less and-1s but less fouls and FTs overall’ OR ‘more and-1s but more fouls and FTs overall’ — the former leads to a smoother flow, and fans significantly preferring it

One thing refs have specifically gotten more blatant with over the years is just waiting to see if the shot goes in or not before they call a foul lol

@dlee4three Why look off that far when Hartenstein is doing it right now

i go back and forth on whether i value frontcourt playmaking or rim protection more but there’s nothing i love more than a big that does both when OKC gets 48 mins of Chet and/or Sorber 2 seasons from now >>>

@OKCTracker Most likely wasn’t intended to be rare or unique, but to set a new standard going forward

I kinda hate that Jostens keeps spamming the double ring thing. Gave it to OKC first, then turned right around and gave it to the Dodgers and Aces too.

@BenHowardOPT That’s for the offseason. Stay present and enjoy this run

Do you really want an explanation for why the OKC and SGA discourse is nonsense? Because I can do a 15 tweet essay on confirmation bias, selection bias, priming, the availability heuristic, and self-serving attribution bias if you want. Because YES, you can all be wrong.

@Tim_NBA Ideally, that’s what pre-game shows, halftime shows, and post-game shows should’ve been for

It's really hard to talk defense if people don't know what normal shell defense looks like nor what basic defensive rotations should be. I/we need to educate more/better.

@LeanandCuisine ngl That’s what game reviews are for. There’s written ones with screenshots, and then there’s video reviews

What was a game you bought then started to play and realized slowly you wasted your bread?

@followAdamA @lakerland_ You keep ducking what he actually said.

@lakerland_ Note, I added paint touches in there for a reason

The Lakers took 157 more Free Throw Attempts than the next closest team this year. In the last 5 years they've taken 938 more Free Throw Attempts than the next closest team. But yeah, some bad calls tonight.

Unnerving to witness in real time how the BrickCenters and HaterReports of the world are running a lucrative grift on all of sports twitter — and people are actually falling for it

@BreidenFehoko He’s in Cancun by this time of the year

I promise opposing teams wasn’t doing this to Kobe at the end of his career.

@imageofanewdawn They were top3 most injured team this year. Bad luck already hit and they’re still giving belt. It’s crazy

Savor this OKC fans as long as you can cause the moment bad luck start to hit like the warriors in 2019-2020 you will be treated worse than they did after their run and unlike them you will never recover 🤷🏿‍♂️

@chesscom @NBA Even chess dot com is grift posting. smh

OKC WINS GAME 2 👏 THEY IMPROVE TO 6-0 THIS POSTSEASON! 2-0 SERIES LEAD IN THE WEST SEMIS 🍿

@NekiasNBA then @NBAonPrime missed the whole explanation and review. smh

well this is the most interesting challenge of the postseason so far

ngl The card is over after Van VS Taira #UFC328

@JakeLFischer Need a ‘too small’ celebration off a 3 where it doesn’t even make sense, and it’s so harmless but it pisses people off so much

I want even more proliferation of three point celebrations. Jamal Murray’s arrow was sick. The Pistons dudes making a long distance phone call, Jared McCain’s motion… Give me a three point monocle, blow a three-point dart, clean your ear with a three-point q-tip… I don’t care. It’s awesome.

@TheB0ssDon @Underdog idk what y’all remember about Rose, it’s mostly contorting layups

@Underdog This gotta be cap lol ain’t no way Rose only had 119 dunks

LeBron James has totaled 153 dunks since turning 40 years old That's more than Derrick Rose had in his entire career (119)

@NBAonPrime Prime, don’t go down this engagement bait route. Be better.

Current stars and franchise legends 🔥 Who would come out on top? 👀

@BrianSuttererMD The largest athletes with the highest frequency of jumping AND running in a contact sport

I’m constantly amazed how much trauma basketball players take - constantly landing hard and getting knocked around. They may be the most resilient athletes with how often they take hard hits but keep going

@HalfCourtHoops His own players were confused and caught off guard 😭

There is no shot I am calling a timeout to let this Timberwolves defense get set either lol.

@MichaelRedd_ equivalent of all Playoff teams sending 5 players to vote

Maybe it's just me, but we don't need to pit NBA guys against one another for clickbait. Especially the NY Times. Social media does everything it can to drive division. We don't need to do that here, within hoops. Instead, let's make the poll more about the most underrated players, the best up-and-coming players, the best veteran presences, the most coachable, the most athletic, the most likely to be a future GM, etc. Uplift instead of throwing stones. (Also, let's make it very clear only 81 dudes out of 450+ participated in this poll, so please don't pretend like it's definitive.) I don't know. Just my take.
