@iamappallednow You have this backwards. The reporter needed to show respect to Verse.

@TheJoeySwoll @MLFootball Bad take my dude. Who cares what they call you? Just because the reporter was gay doesn’t mean they are hitting on you. You are being awfully sensitive here. And the player needs to show respect and represent tolerance and his team off and on the field.

🚨BREAKING: #Rams star Jared Verse is under CRITICISM for his reaction to gay reporter Ruba Wilson’s voice. LGBTQIA+ activists on social media believe that Verse laughing was completely uncalled for & that he was not sensitive towards Ruba’s feelings. 😳

@XMasterrrrrs @DBSteiger @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX Absolutely!

@DBSteiger @Rainmaker1973 So then remove all curators like @ViralRushX who take videos from YouTube and other platforms and upload them here on X. Remove such curators from the Creator Revenue Sharing program.

Is Nikita out of his mind? Massimo has been uploading content for 11 years and his account has 4.3 million followers. He is a curator. Even Elon Musk praises Massimo’s account. Elon Musk has also subscribed to @Rainmaker1973 And almost all video content creators take videos from other platforms and upload them on X. This has been happening from the beginning. Is @ViralRushX an original content creator? He also takes videos from YouTube and uploads them. So why is Massimo being treated differently? Nikita Bier publicly saying “Today is your last day in the Creator Program” to one of X’s biggest curator accounts is a terrible look for the platform. For years X rewarded reposts, curation, and engagement driven content. Now suddenly the same accounts that helped fuel the platform’s growth are being treated like criminals? Massimo built one of the biggest science and discovery communities on X. Millions of people discovered fascinating content, rare moments, space, tech, and science every single day because of that account. You can debate attribution policies. That's completely fair. But publicly shaming creators who clearly added massive value to the platform is not how you build a healthy creator ecosystem. Curation is also a skill. If X wants to change the rules then create clear and transparent systems for credit, licensing, and revenue sharing. Not selective punishment after an account becomes huge. Because if “curating viral content” suddenly becomes a crime, half of X disappears tomorrow. Publicly telling such a huge creator “we are removing you from creator revenue” is not fair from the Head of Product at X.

@titi_ohara The same?

@CreeCoder @MBrant75 Well, Since the planet isn't an egg, how would this work in other countries? In the case of Brazil, there are many accounts doing the same thing, and we haven't received any response from anyone at X. 🙄 🇧🇷

🚨 Nikita Bier just clarified X’s stance on reposted videos: You can take videos from other platforms and be the first to post them on X. What X doesn’t want is large accounts taking videos from other X users shortly after they post them and siphoning the impressions and revenue.

@MVPShai2 I must have missed the part where Wemby is magically going to get enough rest to play effectively for long enough for them to win.

Extender officiating Ajay out Dub out Spurs healthy for the most part Home court advantage Sounds like they should win this one with ease

@AnthonyIrwinLA You cover the Lakers. You have to be trolling.

I’ve never seen a team ask for and receive foul calls as frequently as OKC does.

@drggrizz They didn't call a foul on this play 🤡

Adam Silver would rather take draft picks away from teams they were traded to than have refs no-call unnatural shooting motion flops. Why? Because he’s the worst commissioner of all time in any major sport.

@RadovanIsabella Such a clown take

Woke up this morning feeling so frustrated with what OKC got away with last night.. from the flopping to them fouling and grabbing the Spurs and it not being called by the refs.. DISGRACEFUL!!!

@CollinReidPS Are you new to basketball?

Thunder fans: “we are a Wemby crazy shot away from being up 3-0” Their sub-30% shooter in this series:

@ChadPSmith_ Thunder Derangement Syndrome is the new TDS

Much like the Sith feeding off anger and chaos, #Thunder hate is starting to sustain me. The national meltdown has been incredible to watch. A bunch of people from coping in real time because OKC has built a better organization than their franchise. Better GM. Better coach. Better players. Better culture. All in a smaller market. It’s humiliating for people who were promised geography/population was supposed to matter. At some point you have to stop fighting it and simply accept you are witnessing the beginning of an OKC dynasty. Healing starts there. Praying for everyone affected during this difficult time. Take care, bye bye #NBA #ThunderUp

@RonStewart_ TDS is wild

I think the most baffling part to me is even if Carter Bryant jumps on the fake does he not first make contact with his elbow to the ball? How is that not clean

@samborghiniz @LoudCityBiff Which was a foul ROFL

@LoudCityBiff I tweeted this when the out of bounds call got overturned to a foul on Wemby. I’m not blaming the refs for listing, spurs did that to themselves

It’s quite unbelievable how the Thunder get calls that are by the letter of the law, but Spurs don’t get that same privilege. It’s gotta be a Adam Silver directive, coz there’s no way all the refs are this bad

@HaterReport Castle can't control his emotions. I won't be surprised if he gets ejected in game 4.

Alex Caruso ran into Stephon Castle ON PURPOSE and fell down lmao. Castle got whistled for a foul 😭😭

@CJRealHoops2 When you believe it's a hallmark of their game is when you know you are talking out of your ass.

My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping: It’s always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But it’s always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it. Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept. But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when you’re seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ball… That’s when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. That’s when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. That’s when the game becomes unwatchable. That’s when the rules have to change. When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, that’s when official governance has to be increased. Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And that’s just unfortunate. Something here has to change.

@JinjaForeva @DamienPetersNBA Cason Wallace is shooting 48.6% from 3 this post season.

@DamienPetersNBA If your gonna double you leave Cason and Dort open not McCain and Caruso lol

There’s lesson to be learned here for the Spurs: Sometimes going into a game with a premeditated game plan can be problematic without seeing how the game progresses. Committing to doubling Shai from the jump without seeing if he’s first going to dominate you 1-on-1 is a risk especially if the Thunder role players are shooting lights out.

@coalcountrywvu @theblockspot They can't maintain the urgency. They don't have a bench. They are gassed.

@theblockspot I mean yea but it’s situational. Can’t assume OKC wins game 2 and 3 if they win game 1. Spurs were comfortable knowing they came back to SA with a tied series. They’ll come out with a ton of urgency in game 4.

If Wemby doesn’t hit that crazy 3 with 27 seconds left in OT in Game 1… OKC is up 3-0 right now. And the Thunder haven’t even played that well. It’s crazy how good this OKC team is.

@kawhi_ring And with his leadership, there isn't a single player on the Thunder that ever looks rattled (well except maybe Chet 😅)

One thing about Shai is that he never gets rattled. He very often starts the game bricking all his shots and playing like shit. Most players just lose their mental at that point and can't perform for the rest of the game. Instead he just keeps playing like normal. Keeps playmaking, keeps putting up the same shots that always work for him. That's why he 99% of the time finishes with a great statline, that's why the thunder are always the 1 seed despite being crippled every regular season (and now playoffs), and that's why the he and the Thunder will be the first repeat champions since the KD Warriors. Wemby has dominant stretches, but looks lost a few possessions, and then it stretches into quarters where he doesn't put up shots, doesn't playmake. He's just a black hole. Cade is great, but has similar moments, same with most other stars

@scizzorz24 @BrowardMoses And you can just tell he doesn't have the emotional maturity to stay regulated when things are tough.

@BrowardMoses I mean Castle just had 20 turnovers in the first 2 games. And shot 1/8 this game… He’s struggled a lot this series, not to mention some of the awful fouls he’s getting baited into. I see a lot of people saying Fox, but i’d trust a healthy Fox over Castle this series

this series is telling us clearly who the Spurs need to move off of in the offseason

@spurs It's not how you start 😂

15-0 START!!!

@JinjaForeva @damanr Why do they play him? I mean they have other options.

@damanr It's more so Kornet being unplayable

I respect OKC’s defensive ability, but I also wonder if Wemby is conditioned and capable of playing this many high leverage minutes on one day breaks after playing relatively low minutes in the regular season. This is a massive massive adjustment

@JoshEberley Blocked due to this stupid take. Enjoy the 1 time reply engagement farmer.

Kevin McHale had hurt his ankle, was coming back into the playoff series after a game off, and Rick Mahorn asked, “Which ankle got hurt?” McHale tells him and Mahorn stomped on it. (Mahorn told this story on NBA radio.) Dort is that sort of player.
