@PatBradley_ It’s a testament to Luka’s greatness that they were picked by anyone at all. The Celtics had 7 of the best 9 players in that series.

If Luka’s helio-centric offense was enough against good teams that matter, the Celtics wouldn’t have whooped his ass in the Finals and he’d have won like every pundit said he would.
Danakin@Danakin_
@WorldWideWob Mostly true but a select few, like Luka, are still very efficient and able to impact winning despite a helio-centric style.

@bykevinclark How far would they have to advance for you to say “sure, let’s keep Mosley”?

@YourManDevine Good. We don’t want injuries, but still need the Suns (Dillon) to beat the absolute shit out of OKC to hopefully start to wear them down. A beat up, tired Thunder team is the only way we get competitive WCF or Finals

whomst among us could have foreseen such an event coming to pass

@WorldWideWob That’s fair, but a very high standard. The depth and quality of this Thunder team and the alien nature of Wemby are such anomalies. Luka has led under-talented teams to the Finals and WCF. Plus, does anything think this Lakers team hasn’t wildly overachieved? Luka is that guy.

Seven straight possessions at ~6 min mark in the 3Q:
1) Jaylen Brown wide open three
2) Paul George works hard for 5 seconds just to miss a contested mid-range iso J
3) Vuc wide open three
4) Edgecombe misses a contested mid-range J
5) Tatum wide open layup
6) Maxey misses running floater
7) Jaylen Brown wide open dunk
The better teams all weekend have been the ones getting higher quality looks in volume.
A Captain Obvious hypothesis, but if it were that easy: everyone would do it.
Hero Ball is not sustainable offense in 2026.

J.D. Vance once decried Catholics who did not show “proper deference to the papacy, treating the pope as a political figure to be criticized or praised according to their whims.”
He is now one of those Catholics.

@MrPrince_Diego Looks like we’ve got yet another MAGAt beta cuck contending for the prize of biggest snowflake on the internet. It’s a crowded field of fuck-failing Trump Fluffers, but I think you’ve got a real decent shot, cowpoke.

From playing alongside greats, to coaching greats… to becoming one himself... Steve Kerr reflects on his special NBA journey thus far.

Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr share a moment after their 14th season together ♥️
English
@dodgedonke @NateDuncanNBA Oh yeah I definitely understand that perspective. Suns deserve their spot, great season for you guys. Just from a business perspective, anytime you can have Steph Curry play in two win-or-go-home games, that’s a huge win for the league and for fans.

@Danakin_ @NateDuncanNBA As a suns fan, it was fun. Until Ur a clear 7 seed and have to endure the stress of a 1 game series and an elimination game against the 10 seed that's like 10 games below.
English
Since the NBA adopted the current play-in format six years ago, how often each seed has made the playoffs:
No. 7 seed: 100%
No. 8 seed: 67%
No. 9 seed: 25%
No. 10 seed: 8%

@JonLemire @TheRickWilson ……his intimidation tactics have ONLY ever worked on fellow Republicans, because that caucus is made up almost entirely of snowflakes, cucks, dullards and cravens. Trump has been an object of ridicule in the world stage since the very beginning.
English
Trump has long ruled by fear. He demands total fealty from fellow Republicans; he pushes around world leaders. He’s a political escape artist
But this time, his intimidation tactics are not working - and he has boxed himself in without an obvious way out theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@NotStormxyy The psychologist Sigmund Freud would have a field day with psycho-analyzing OP’s unconscious self-loathing. It’s all pretty obvious, surely you get it now. I mean, unless you can’t read English and don’t have a single intelligent thought rattling around your head. 🤷🏻♂️
English
@NotStormxyy Oof, looks like a dullard has stumbled upon this tweet. Listen cowpoke, there is a basketball team called the *Charlotte* Hornets, clearly OP’s favorite. They got destroyed and eliminated last night. What does he do? Get online to attack *Charlotte* Flair.
English
@CWilliamsMuse7 @MsCharlotteWWE First of all, you’re a dork man. I also can’t help but point out how psychologically revealing it is that after you watched your Hornets get destroyed, you got online to attack…..CHARLOTTE Flair. It indicates projection and self-loathing. Real Freudian shit
English
@MsCharlotteWWE You’re a fraudulent corporate pushed one so you don’t count
English
@TheFrankIsola lol what? It’s the other way around. Injuries that occur on the court are not “extraordinary circumstances,” which basically should just mean births and deaths. Being present for the birth of your child and missing two games is clearly the exact sort of thing the rule describes.
English
FYI: Cade has a legit case. He appeared in 65 games but suffered a collapsed lung less than six minutes in. Luka would have 65 games had he not been suspended for picking up a 16th technical. That’s on him.
Frank Isola@TheFrankIsola
The Pandora's box is now officially open. Translation: the 65-game rule is forever fluid.

@mehdirhasan @TheOmniLiberal The Dems lost because of regressive leftists that thought Trump would be better on Palestine than literally any Democrat. We really don’t have to take hyper online meme snorting people like you seriously.
English
@TheOmniLiberal I mean, you don’t have to take them seriously but the Dems do because they… lost.
English
I’m sorry but do we not want a lethal military????? Is that not the point of every military????? I’m sorry I just can’t take some of these talking points and complaints seriously.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
Again, you make these sweeping claims but I actually did praise Cheney's work on the J6 Commission on multiple MSNBC segments I hosted. But that doesn't mean it was wise for Harris to campaign with her (especially in Michigan), or welcome Dick's endorsement, or extol the "lethality" of our military or declare Iran our top adversary, etc, etc.

Trump: I’m gonna wipe out an entire civilization.
Pope: That’s wrong.
Vance: The pope should stick to questions of morality.

@AmericanBork The things you are saying have nothing to do with my comment. Seems you are just a meme snorting Trump Fluffer

Spent the past two days at the National Action Network convention, where the strong appetite for Democrats to be more aggressive on racial justice issues prompted me to look into how the party has evolved its public posture on race.
Turns out, a lot. One example: Democratic governors have spoken way, way less about racism and racial inequality in recent years.
English
@AmericanBork @stevemorris__ Nothing you just makes any sense, cowpoke. Is English not your first language? You are really struggling to articulate. Sad.
English
@Danakin_ @stevemorris__ You support systemic racism against yourself. About as pathetic an excuse of a human I can imagine
English
@daveweigel And we see that Democrats are winning actual races and leading generic ballot polling. So, seems like it’s working?
I mean honestly what is the complaint here? Democrats are still leagues better than the Trump Fluffers on issues of “equity and systemic racism”.
English
Yes, this was one of Sharpton’s concerns going in.
Eight years ago every Dem was talking about equity and “systemic racism.” It felt to him like they had ditched even as Trump erased all their gains semafor.com/article/04/07/…
