@whatsontapnba You do realize the refs are now more likely to call fouls on Minny right? @Timberwolves entire defensive structure breaks once refs start calling fouls. You are basically hoping the refs continue to let them punk Wemby & turn a blind eye.

Minnesota need to ATTACK Wemby throughout the rest of this series. We just saw how affected mentally Wemby can be by physicality. He also is 7’5”, so making him tired in a 6+ game series is critical. Wemby should be suspended game 5. Regardless, make life difficult. Idc if you foul him a ton. Be ethical. But physical.

WTF are people complaining about? An arm near the head/neck area of a GK is a foul 100% of the time. Whether you like GKs being protected or not, refs have protected them over the past 2 decades. That is clearly a West Ham foul. @Arsenal did not deserve it, but #WHUARS

@HaterReport @Timberwolves aren't winning anything until they get a new coach. Chris Finch did a great job, but to go farther, they need to stop playing victim. That entire team is arrogant when up, victim card when down. They haven't won anything of significance to act that way.

Reporter: “i’m not sure I’ve seen players hold a referee back from their coach before” Chris Finch: “Pretty unprofessional huh? …He lost it… completely unprofessional behavior by him"

@theMadridZone This is the galactico era all over again. Too many egos. No coach can control the dressing room. @realmadrid needs to sign another CR7-like player. The ALPHA to alphas. @KMbappe is not the ALPHA unfortunately. @vinijr needs to go.

🚨 BREAKING: Some Real Madrid players OPENLY DISRESPECTED Xabi Alonso: - Whispering between themselves while he spoke - Pretending to fall asleep while he explained tactics This REALLY bothered players who were LOYAL to Xabi, including TCHOUAMENI. Tchouaméni, and some other players, SUPPORTED Xabi Alonso's ideas as they believed the team needed a profound change in their style of play. @marca

@LegionHoops I don't think he is a good coach. At the same time, Boston's record was inflated compared to their talent level. It showed in G5 to G7. Embiid was the difference. Hated how he kept flopping after any contact though. SGA is hated for stuff like that.

Joe Mazzulla: “Too many times it’s all about winning... You have to surrender to the idea that when you’re going after that, you’re going to fail. We failed by not winning, but we stick to the process of being able to do that. That’s just the duality of how things work. It’s not an either-or thing. It’s both and, you feel both of those things.” (h/t @SMHighlights1)

#NBAplayoffs #PHIvsBOS SGA gets ridiculed for foul baiting, but Embiid was the original. He can't be touched w/o a ref calling foul right now.

@LegionHoops The weird part with this rivalry is the @Timberwolves haven't won anything before & act tough like they've been there. Their whole team has this arrogance that isn't warranted at all. They setup their team to beat the @Nuggets, but can't beat @okcthunder.

NIKOLA JOKIC GOES AFTER JADEN MCDANIELS FIGHT BREAKS OUT. OH MY.

@marcportermagee Doesn't this degrade anyone with any online learning education and upgrade the 4-year in-person programs? If speed-running is possible, then any1 can have multiple online degrees, but never learn anything.

College students are now “speed-running” through higher ed: “It takes most college students at least four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. Christie Williams finished in three months.”

Funny how that's only a T. If roles reversed, probably a F1 on the bigger player. #NBAplayoffs #MINvsDEN

#NBAPlayoffs is so back. Refs with a terrible call & then T-Up the HC. The defensive player sticking their face in a defensive position should not be rewarded. What exactly is Aaron Gordon supposed to do? Arms have swing from 1 side to the other to shoot the ball. #MINvsDEN

@FastbreakHoops5 MJ / Lebron / Kawhi / TD / Jokic.

Build your All-Time NBA Starting Five. Pick 1 per tier - $15 budget total.

@IlliniMBB pretty much lost the game already. Any1 watching this game can tell the refs are calling it quite 1-sided. @UConnHuskies been physical throughout and that bump on the drive w/ no call. #finalfour

@BlueJays are a joke. John Schneider has a long leash after that WS appearance, so his ego has inflated immensely. Little should not be pitching in the @MLB until he figures things out in the minors. But somehow, John Schneider keeps throwing him in there & losing games.

@aakashgupta This is such a bad take. Customers should NOT be burdened with a living wage for the worker of a restaurant. The American tipping system created this problem, but somehow the customer is being made the villain.

American restaurants are legally allowed to pay servers $2.13/hour. In Japan, tipping is rude. In Australia, servers make $24/hour before tips. In Denmark, $25/hour with full benefits. In those countries, a server handwriting a demand for more money on a receipt would be absurd. The restaurant already paid them. In America, the restaurant doesn't. So 20% from the customer fills the gap. That's the system. Leaving less means the server worked your table for two dollars an hour. This receipt is what that looks like in practice. $525 check. The restaurant collected every dollar. Printed "gratuity: $0.00" on the bill. Paid the server $2.13/hour. Then left the building. The customer left $60 in cash. That's 11%. The server handwrote a note: "I was expecting more like $120. Thanks." The note looks entitled until you do the math. At $2.13/hour, a four-hour dinner shift pays the server $8.52 from the restaurant. The difference between a $60 tip and a $120 tip is the difference between $17/hour and $32/hour for skilled service on a $525 tab. Everyone is arguing about the server's attitude. Nobody is asking why a business that just collected $525 is paying its worker two dollars. The server and the customer are fighting over who covers payroll. The restaurant owner is nowhere in the conversation. Already won.

@IFTVofficial Coach doesn't matter. The problem with Italy is structural. There are no world class Italians right now. They MUST develop talent again. It's like England & Spain in the 90s & early 2000s. They rebuilt themselves over time. Italy must do the same.

Who do you want to coach Italy next? 🤔 • Roberto Mancini • Simone Inzaghi • Antonio Conte • Max Allegri

@Codie_Sanchez I think people saying some people just need time is missing the point. The best hires have intangibles that cannot be taught or learned. Attitude & initiative comes to mind.

Unpopular hard truth... Best hires blow you away week one. I've only 1 -2 times seen a slow starter become a top performer.

@IFTVofficial Italy's problem right now is simple. Look at @SerieA standings and their teams. Top Italian sides are mostly foreigners! Start developing talent (Doesn't matter what position). @SerieA teams need to play their youngsters. The national side is simply not good enough.

Sky Italia journalist, Gianfranco Teotino: “Nothing, no reforms. We have a sad league that can’t win in Europe. Even this formation, the 3-5-2, is the death of calcio. Go look at tournament winners, whoever wins uses 4 at the back and wingers. Gattuso started with other ideas, than he adapted to what is used in Serie A and here’s the result.”

@TonyLaneNV No tip for carry-out. What am I tipping for? Putting the food in take-out boxes and bagging it? That's the server's job description. I have no problem tipping if I dine-in though (Not excessive, just normal).

Be honest… Are you tipping on carry-out orders? Or is that where you draw the line? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@therandomsec I believe a NBA ELITE superstar can definitely carry a 16 seed to win the tournament. Flagg & Kneupel are not. Giannis, Joker, Luka, Wemby, & SGA.

People keep saying that a 16 seed would win March Madness if they had 1 NBA player on their roster. People forget that Kon Kneupel and Cooper Flagg were on the same team last year as a 1 seed and didn’t win it 😭

@BleacherReport There is no controversy. Once inbounded, the play is live. The coach hesitated after the made basket & UK inbounded the ball. The ref ran the other way to get in position, so he must've thought the HC isn't calling a Timeout after the slight hesitation.

Santa Clara's HC Herb Sendek appeared to signal for a timeout before Kentucky's 3-pointer that would force overtime 😳 Santa Clara would lose to Kentucky in OT, 89-84
