SGA bounced back with 30 and 9. Respect. My co-host Edwin predicted this on our Big Play episode last night. He said SGA would bounce back hard in Game 2 and OKC would tie it up. Link to show in bio. He was right and he deserves his flowers. But Benchies.... the Spurs had 21 turnovers. Fox was out. Harper left injured. Wemby STILL had 21 points 17 rebounds 6 assists 4 blocks. Wait until San Antonio gets healthy and gets home court back. I still have the Spurs in 6. Edwin has OKC in 7! @Benched_Ready @Cabana_Joe @eestr00878180 @SportsCenter @WindhorstESPN #SpursVsThunder #NBAPlayoffs #ConferenceFinals #SpursIn6 #SGA #Wembanyama #NBA #NBATwitter #BenchedAndReady #Benchies

@Benched_Ready @Casual_Chirp @Cabana_Joe I’m still going to go with the player with the most efficient season in NBA history versus someone on minutes restriction. I’m sure next season a non restricted Wemby will be MVP favorite.

@Benched_Ready WOW... That guy speaking is soooooo smart! He definitely knows what he's talking about right @eestr00878180

The MVP debate is OVER. Most Valuable Player means BOTH ends of the floor. Not best scorer. Not highest usage. BOTH. ENDS. SGA is spectacular offensively. Average defensively. Wemby — 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks. Elite on one end. Elite on the other. The voters got comfortable. Do you think Joe got it right, or did Edwin? 🎙️ Full debate on today's Big Play... link in bio. @Benched_Ready @Cabana_Joe @eestr00878180 #Wembanyama #SGA #MVP #NBAPlayoffs #NBA #NBATwitter #SpursVsThunder #ConferenceFinals #BenchedAndReady #Benchies

@Casual_Chirp @Benched_Ready @Casual_Chirp You're exactly right! Wemby is the people's MVP. @eestr00878180 Looks like the public agrees with me!

@Benched_Ready Wemby is more valuable to there team than SGA💯

Shams just dropped two nuclear bombs in one segment. Giannis wants out of Milwaukee. LeBron playing one more year. The 2026 NBA offseason is going to be the most chaotic in league history. And the Celtics are right there... Brad Stevens already said publicly Boston needs a rim protector. Giannis leads the ENTIRE NBA in paint points per game. Jalen Brown's salary works in a sign-and-trade. ESPN already reported it. Do the math. 🎙️ We actually broke down our offseason wish trades on today's episode of The Big Play..... link in bio. @Benched_Ready @ESPNNBA @ShamsCharania @Cabana_Joe @eestr00878180 #Giannis #LeBronJames #NBA #NBATwitter #NBAOffseason #Celtics #Bucks #BenchedAndReady #Benchies

OKC went 8-0 before Wemby ended the streak. If they go 0-2 tonight at home — where they are supposed to be unbeatable — the entire series shifts to San Antonio for Games 3 and 4. AT&T Center will be absolutely unhinged after stealing two road games. Yes they can come back. But 0-2 against THIS Spurs team with Wemby, Harper AND De'Aaron Fox coming back healthy? That is a mountain nobody has climbed this postseason. Joe has Spurs in 6. Book it. Edwin still have OKC in 7! @Benched_Ready @stephenasmith @eestr00878180 @Cabana_Joe #SpursVsThunder #NBAPlayoffs #ConferenceFinals #SpursIn6 #Wembanyama #NBA #NBATwitter #BenchedAndReady

Was it the right move? Absolutely. But let's be real about what happened in Dallas. They traded Luka Doncic.... one of the five best players on the planet for Anthony Davis, who then got traded to Washington. Kyrie missed the entire season with a torn ACL. They went 26 and 56. Kidd did not lose those games. The front office burned the roster to the ground around him. Masai Ujiri is the right hire. But firing Kidd without fixing the roster first just means Cooper Flagg gets a new head coach to develop under. Hope they get that part right. @Benched_Ready @stephenasmith @eestr00878180 @Cabana_Joe #Mavericks #JasonKidd #NBA #NBATwitter #Cowboys #Dallas #BenchedAndReady #Benchies

🚨BENCHIES!!! WE'RE RECORDING RIGHT NOW... AND THE CAVS ARE UP ON THE KNICKS AT MSG IN GAME 1 🚨 Late in the 4th. Cavs up 94-84. Walking into Madison Square Garden — the Knicks' building — with nine days of rest stacked against them, home crowd screaming, all the noise... and Cleveland just took over anyway.

Mitchell is right not to overreact. But let's be honest — he scored ZERO points & assists after 8:19 left in the fourth quarter while his team blew a 22-point lead. The best closer on the team disappeared in the biggest moment of the game. That cannot happen in Game 2. He knows it. We all know it. Cavs in 7 but Mitchell has to show up in the fourth. @Benched_Ready @Cavaliers @YahooSports @Cabana_Joe @eestr00878180 #KnicksVsCavs #NBAPlayoffs #ConferenceFinals #CavsIn7 #DovanMitchell #NBA #NBATwitter #BenchedAndReady

"This is what the Knicks do." Bill... the Cavs blew 22 points with Mitchell going scoreless in the fourth quarter and Kenny Atkinson sitting on TWO timeouts during a 44-11 collapse. Fix those two things and this series looks completely different. The Knicks didn't win Game 1. The Cavs gave it away. Joe says Cavs in 7. Edwin says Knicks in 6. @Benched_Ready @ringer @BillSimmons @eestr00878180 @Cabana_Joe #KnicksVsCavs #NBAPlayoffs #ConferenceFinals #CavsIn7 #NBA #NBATwitter #BenchedAndReady

Jayson Tatum in elimination games excluding G7 versus Miami, where he got hurt: 27.3 PPG (leads NBA) 8.6 RPG 6.0 APG 1.1 SPG 1.1 BPG 44/38/84% He’s 11-5 in that span… nobody in the association is better in do-or-die situations 🍀

Rodgers locking in $22M guaranteed at 43 years old to run it back with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh is ultimate legacy theater. The financial urgency in that front office is real.. they clearly believe his arm still gives them a legitimate shot at winning a SB. 🏈🔥 Ready for real sports talk without the corporate filters?
