Comparison is the theif of joy.

@SamQuinnCBS OKC and San Antonio will probably be too expensive within the next 2 years. It is on the other teams to prepare themselves for when those small market with no intention to spend start to count dollars and seize that moment.

I say this not just to the Wolves, but to the Lakers, the Nuggets, to all teams of that ilk. You’re not going to be BETTER than the Spurs or Thunder. It’s not happening. Their asset advantage is too big. If you hold moves to that standard you’re taking an excuse not to compete. All you can do is build the best team possible and set yourself up to get within their margin for error and have specific matchups advantages. Are you good enough where if there are five close games in that series, you can win four of them on variance? That was Denver’s path in 2025 and they almost took it. Can you get within one sprained ankle or strained calf of their level? I suspect the Knicks are there now. Can your best player stress them in some notable way? Luka did in 2024, forced them to put two on the ball, and that led to the billion corner 3’s that defined that series. Don’t say “all-in moves only make sense if they take us to the OKC/San Antonio level” because that level simply isn’t accessible to most teams. Make those moves because the NBA is weird and chaotic and all you can do is give yourself a chance to take advantage when that’s the case. If you build a team that’s of standard 55-60-win caliber, you will still PROBABLY lose to the Thunder or Spurs, but there is no waiting them out and there is no realistic approach to matching their talent/depth, so you might as well just go for it and try to get close enough that you can take advantage when the NBA NBA’s on those teams. You shouldn’t expect to be better than them, you should be trying to be good enough to potentially beat them if things break right. They’re different standards.

@TheDunkCentral @FirstTake Man @KendrickPerkins is such an idiot. Guy has made 2 conf finals and an NBA finals. Made more than 1 game winning shots in the NBA playoffs. Joel hasn’t made it past the 2nd Round !

@LakersNation It’s been fun Laker Nation with the ups and downs of the season. An impossible mission without our best player. Let us hope this is the offseason Lakers actually get the right guys.

That will officially do it. Appreciate the fight this team showed tonight and all year, but they were ultimately swept by the defending champs.

@cozmicwun @RedNinetyFour By that mentality, every team in the league should just tank the next ten years. OKC are getting expensive, SAS will be expensive soon. There is a reason no back to back champs since GSW.

@Bandar2477 @RedNinetyFour Yep a Sengun -> Giannis upgrade makes us OKC level

The reason you see such a wide variance in range of opinion re: the Rockets both within the fanbase and outside is because 1) it’s not some disastrous situation like Milwaukee in terms of assets and finances and 2) there isn’t an obvious path into the upper echelon w/ no 1a star.

@AdamInHTownTX @RedNinetyFour There was an active investigation of him wanting to play and Bucks not allowing him. Furthermore, 60+ games is all you need out of your superstar in the regular season.

@Bandar2477 @RedNinetyFour Does this really need to be explained again? Giannis played 36 games this season. He's played more than 67 games only once in the last 5 years. He's turning 32 in December. He relies heavily on athleticism. And he can't hit a jumper or free throws.

@aabkashem @WrestleSeek Looks like TKO restructuring contracts and if needed cutting date in addition to cutting talents. Looks like Roman agreed if dates are cut too.

@WrestleSeek This doesn’t scream he’s gone. It screams we’re not using him weekly because something bigger is coming.

🚨 WWE has removed Roman Reigns from the official advertising for the June episodes of RAW. The Tribal Chief is no longer listed for June 1, June 8, June 15, and June 22 episodes on their official website.

Just a reminder of why we keep dropping in.

We Are Xbox

Incredibly touched by this. Please take a minute to read today. An important message for physicians everywhere

10 years ago today, Kobe scored 60 in his last game 💜💛

@SpursOfficial The attack and midfield are such a shock. They are worthless with the ball and utterly worthless without it. No string of passes, no ball control. No way we can stay up. If we do, RDZ is a miracle worker.

Roberto De Zerbi's post-match thoughts from the Stadium of Light 💬

Dudes will have the worst day of their lives and just keep sending memes to the homies like nothing happened

“Potential” is a word that means you’re not worth it yet.

Not a week passes with these scrims that I I remember what @TSM_Reps was as a beam of positivity for the pro scene. Multiple LAN wins helps too ! Wish he would come back and anchor one more super team with this amazing peak @PlayApex is currently having !

@SolanaPrincee Yeah the players that jogged in a decisive game against notts forrest after the amazing welcome they’ve received even though they've given us F all all season at home. They deserve to be destroyed and shipped in the Summer.

Marseille fan dropped a Truth bomb

@AlasdairGold Just feels like if we are going down, these players deserve to be worked to the ground to even pay back what our fans have given them for their horrific home form these last 2 years. Di Zerbi and Poch would’ve done that. Simple as. The thought of relegation is already concrete.

Feeling within Spurs is they're closing in on their man in Roberto De Zerbi. His football matches how club want to play. Question marks over how quickly he can implement it & reaction to his Greenwood comments. Track record doesn't scream long term but Spurs rarely do long term.

@TheHoopCentral Less then 50% as a damn Center. NBA and their media partners have got to stop this agenda man. He will be the most hated player to ever play in the NBA.

Victor Wembanyama over the last 9 games: 25.8 PPG 12.1 RPG 4.0 APG 3.3 BPG 1.4 SPG 48.3% FG 29.9 MPG

@ClutchPoints I’m sorry but didn’t their turn around happened pre Christmas when he was injured and the started their win streak ? And when he returned weren’t he coming of the bench playing 25 min max for a while ? And that win streak was actually broken when he was back as a starter ?????!

Victor Wembanyama makes a strong case for why he should be the MVP 🤔 "My first one would be that defense is 50% of the game and that it is undervalued so far in the MVP race. I believe I'm the most impactful player defensively in the league. Second argument would be that we almost swept OKC in the season, and we dominated them three times with their real team... My third argument would be that offense impact is not just points."
