Totally agree with this. Especially in the playoffs. It's all about creating chaos. Getting around and through screens. Guarding full court. The aggressor wins.

Kind of feels like we’re seeing a real-time shift away from the three-point movement in the NBA. It’s a defense league now

As a lifelong Stars fan who is 29 years old.
I am really emotional about potentially watching Benn’s last game as a Star. Many younger fans think of him as a goon or heel.
I watched him usher this franchise into what it is today. He was the transition from Brenden Morrow to the juggernaut it has become.
He won an Art Ross. For a few seasons, he was up there with prime Crosby and Ovechkin.
He won Gold in 2014 with team Canada.
I understand he is a polarizing player, and deserving of criticism lately, but please understand that he is a franchise legend.
I have watched him for 17 seasons. His jersey number should never be worn in Dallas ever again.
If you retire and never wear Victory Green again.
Thank you, Jamie.

@RussoHockey These fines are not adequate. Need suspensions.

@DubClayton He’s all time offense. Needs to want to play defense.

@JakeJac53965229 @Hero_OfThe_Day @NBA Bull**** you literally tackle the other team every time down the floor, enjoy the Spurs destroying you next round.

It has gotten personal in Minnesota!! 🤯🤯
Refs have been allowing Timberwolves to shove, push, and antagonize Nikola Jokic the whole game!! Frustrations finally boiled over.
@NBA refs are terrible!! 🔥🔥
English

Jaylen Clark grabs Nikola Jokic, then pushes him on the back, off the whistle, Jokic pushes Clark, who falls to the floor and grabs Jokic's jersey.
Heated up Clark gets up and pushes Jokic from behind, and Naz Reid with a hard push from behind on Jokic.
Jokic, Clark, and Reid got a technical foul each.
WITH MANY replays.
Timberwolves chant 'KICK HIM OUT' (refers to Jokic) during the official review
Reid was lucky not to be kicked out

Teams can’t touch Shai, but Gobert is allowed to hold onto Nikola Jokic as he drives, then grab him around the waist and high five him while he’s attempting a shot. Not a foul, apparently.
Seems fair, @NBA!! 🔥🔥

@VicLombardi @nuggets Your the biggest child! Squabbler in chief.
English

Not sure what happens tonight between the @nuggets and @Timbewolves but I want to recognize how silly it is for media peeps to squabble like children. We’re supposed to be above that. And while some of this stuff is just good ole manufactured radio bravado, some of it got personal. Too personal. We don’t play. The players do. Humble apologies to @DaneMooreNBA who does a great job covering the Wolves. Enjoy Game Six.
Go Nuggets.

@SawyerMerritt All these “but what about…?” comments trying to gotcha Elon. Sadly predictable.

Here's a rough summary of Elon Musk’s 1 hour and 40 minute long testimony today during the OpenAI trial. He will resume his testimony tomorrow.
• Argues the case has huge implications: "It is not ok to steal a charity. If the defendants are found not guilty, this case will become caselaw. It’ll give license to looting every charity in America. The consequences of this case go far beyond me or everyone here. The entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed."
• Says OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit, open-source counterweight to Google, focused on AI safety.
• Claims the shift to a for-profit structure violated that mission.
• Says his AI concerns date back to conversations with Larry Page, who he felt wasn’t taking AI risk seriously.
• Elon says he tried to warn Obama about AI, but that Obama felt AI was not good enough (back then) to seem scary smart. "Here we are in 2026, AI is very smart."
• Believes AI could surpass human intelligence as soon as next year and poses existential risk in the hands of the wrong people: “If you have someone who’s not very trustworthy in charge of AI, that’s very dangerous for the whole world.”
• Elon framed his companies (SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI) as part of a broader mission to protect humanity’s future.
• Emphasized OpenAI’s original goal: AI for the good of humanity, not profit-driven control.
• Elon's main argument is that OpenAI abandoned its founding principles, and that precedent could reshape both AI governance and charitable trust.
• Larry Page refused to speak to Elon Musk again after Elon recruited Ilya Sutskever to join OpenAI. Elon viewed Ilya as the “number one” most valuable member at Google.
• Elon thought in the early days, OpenAI's corporate structure would be a nonprofit funded initially with donations, but there could potentially be a parallel for-profit that is owned by the nonprofit and funds the nonprofit: “We (Sam Altman and Elon) were in agreement that OpenAI would be a 501c3 charity.
• Elon was not opposed to there being a small for-profit that provided funding to the nonprofit, as long as "the tail didn’t wag the dog."
• Elon: “there are very few people who understand venture capital in Silicon Valley like I do."
