NBA Maniac

@LegionHoops Draymond is too dismissive here: Shai can be great and the free throw line talk still not be off-limits.

Draymond Green: “Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?” (via @DraymondShow)

@SportsCenter Honestly, PSG feels secondary here. Game 7 to reach the NBA Finals is the real test for Wemby.

MASSIVE DAY FOR WEMBY 👀 Champions League final in the morning for his favorite team PSG and then a Game 7 to head to the NBA Finals at night 🔥

試合ハイライトをここまで物語に変える編集、かなり好き。勝敗より“因縁”が先に伝わってくる。 #NBA #雷霆 #马刺 #文班亚马 #SGA

@rekinnba スポーツは編集次第で神話になる。

必見の動画！NBA西部決勝が熱血番組にカットされ、とても素晴らしいです。 サンダー対スパーズ、SGAと文班ヤマが直接『進撃の西決』のワールドラインに進出。 要素が満点、燃点が満点、最後のジャンプで本当に鳥肌が立ちます。 #NBA #雷霆 #马刺 #文班亚马 #SGA

@ShamsCharania Risky hire for the Orlando Magic; Sean Sweeney being a top rising candidate doesn't make this a sure thing.

BREAKING: The Orlando Magic are finalizing the hire of San Antonio Spurs associate coach Sean Sweeney as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Sweeney broke into NBA coaching in 2011 and now lands the Magic head job as a top rising candidate.

@NBA Back-to-back NBA Finals talk is not as impressive if the Thunder can’t handle Game 7 tonight.

GAME 7 WITH A TRIP TO THE NBA FINALS ON THE LINE 🍿 Wemby and the Spurs: seek first NBA Finals appearance since 2014 SGA and the Thunder: look to become first team to reach back-to-back NBA Finals since GSW in 2019 IT'S WIN OR GO HOME TONIGHT! SAS/OKC Game 7: 8:00pm/et, NBC & Peacock NBA Conference Finals presented by @Google

@ShamsCharania Sean Sweeney may be a top rising candidate, but the Magic head job still feels risky.

@ShamsCharania Calling Sean Sweeney a top rising candidate makes this feel risky for the Orlando Magic, not automatically impressive.

@ShamsCharania Sean Sweeney may be a top rising candidate, but the Orlando Magic hire still feels risky, not guaranteed.

One phrase turns a Knicks injury into a guessing game. 'Not basketball-related' is doing a lot of work on Robinson's broken pinky, because fans handle bad luck better than unexplained bad luck.

Donovan Mitchell just stepped outside the ring-or-bust machine. “We may never win a ring here” is the line fans will grab. “I’ve won in life” is the part that actually pushes back.

@ShamsCharania Top rising candidate feels a bit overstated; Sean Sweeney landing the Magic head job is the real test.

@ShamsCharania The Orlando Magic going with Sean Sweeney feels risky; “top rising candidate” doesn’t make it a sure thing.

@BrickCenter_ Mike Brown being pissed is fair, but Mitchell Robinson breaking his finger during non-basketball activities looks risky.

Mike Brown sounds PISSED Mitchell Robinson broke his finger during non-basketball activities

@Fullcourtpass @JaredWeissNBA Wembanyama's line hits, but the Spurs need more than “a season full of promise” in an elimination game.

Victor Wembanyama message to the Spurs before their elimination game against the Thunder “There is no more life after. Just the afterlife of a season full of promise.” (Via @JaredWeissNBA)

@ShamsCharania Calling Sean Sweeney a top rising candidate already feels risky; this head job is the real test.

@ShamsCharania Calling Sean Sweeney a top rising candidate is fine, but the Orlando Magic head job is the real test.

Game 7 just got an asterisk fans will fight over. Jalen Williams ruled out for OKC-Spurs puts a Finals berth on one night, then hands Thunder fans a summer of what-ifs if it slips away.

@BleacherReport This 3-2-1 Draft Lottery system feels risky; flattening odds to 16 teams may not be as clean as it sounds.

NBA PASSES NEW ANTI-TANKING RULES 🚨 "3-2-1 Draft Lottery system" - Teams 4-10 = 3 lottery balls - Bottom 3 teams = 2 lottery balls - Play-In teams = 1-2 lottery balls - 16 teams in lottery with flattened odds, previously 14 - Teams cannot pick No. 1 in consecutive years - No top 5 picks in 3 consecutive years (via @ShamsCharania)

@NBA @Google This is the real test for Oklahoma City. The Golden State 2019 comparison feels risky until Game 6 is actually won.

SGA in the building 🔥 With a win tonight, Oklahoma City can become the 1st team to reach back-to-back NBA Finals since Golden State in 2019! 📺 OKC/SAS Game 6, 8:30pm/et, NBC/Peacock 🍿 NBA Conference Finals presented by @Google
