The NBA has turned into a league that only cares about protecting itself, not the greater good of the game. A day of reckoning is coming for them all unless they reverse course. League office, owners, and players - no one will be spared from what is coming.

@awfulannouncing LISTEN TO/WATCH THE EPISODE if you actually appreciate magic tricks. Is there honor among thieves? Or does Oz cross any ethical lines with his meta deception? In a sense what he does has deeper implications on weltanschauung which i think is the Aussie guy's deeper point.

@TheHerd @colincowherd @PabloTorre Did you watch the episode @colincowherd ? It's not about debunking magic or even mentalism. The question is: is there an ethical or unethical way to perform magic? This guy sold a book on the idea that he reads people better than most, rather than using questionable gimmicks.

@TheDunkCentral There's a balance. Yes it's entertainment, not a film session. But you have to mix in some analysis of what's happening on the court so the audience learns and takes away something they might not have otherwise seen. That's how you grow appreciation of the nuances of the game.

Charles Barkley fires back at critics who have an issue with the lack of analysis on Inside the NBA “We want people to have fun. We’re trying to entertain people. We’re on television from 7 to 2 in the damn morning. How many people actually know enough about basketball for us to X-and-O them from 7 to 2 in the morning? … Do people really want to see us four dummies sit there and talk about P&Rs, blitzes, over/under, and things like that? I want people to have fun watching basketball. Period.” (Via @SInow / h/t @NBA__Courtside )

@richarddeitsch NBC will carry NBA TV viewership back to 20M+ if and when it broadcasts the NBA Finals. There is still room to grow if the league is able to bring back the casual viewer who has dismissed the league as "soft" "rigged" "woke" or any other reason. True entertainment is undefeated.

@_JasonLT Ant + Giannis would bring them to tier 1 with OKC & San Antonio. Giannis on Houston is intriguing too with FVV back from injury. Giannis on Detroit would make them title favorites in the East. Yes he's not a good shooter but people underestimate his offensive impact on the game.

@Mark_T_Willard I did watch last night's game. GSW needs to go all in right now. They will be competitive, they will have a chance, which is the point of it all. They won't be favorites, far from it, but that would make a champ run much more fulfilling. Do you guys want everything easy? COMPETE!

Hate saying it...but have to say it. For #dubnation, any offseason moves that are branded as WIN RIGHT NOW type moves feel futile. If you disagree, just watch last night's game.

Myers on trading Jared McCain: "I'm not gonna disparage Daryl [Morey]. That was a few months ago. Right now, we have the 22nd pick, our job is to get that right. We have 3 second-round picks from it. We should be graded on the ultimate result of transactions like that."

@adukeMN Commendable but not worth it if it's going to shorten his career. Hopefully not. They have a chance against the Spurs. Not sure about OKC though - they're a different beast and made easy work of them last year.

@BillSimmons You have an affinity for role player white guys lol. The winning lineup is the 4 + Strus/Merrill/Wade/Schroder depending on matchup and who is playing well (on defense too).

It’s crazy that Atkinson hasn’t played Merrill more in Game 3. I don’t understand 90% of what he’s doing. Harden’s too slow, Wade has been awful, This is a do or die game - if I’m going down it’s with Mitchell, Merrill, Strus, Schroeder and Allen or Mobley in crunch time.

Pretty amazing from Ant. He’s clearly at like 80% right now, but is so unbelievably effective just by making the right play every time Pretty easy to see now why Finch is all over him to do it in the regular season

@Mishbia15 You should see how they officiate Steph. Ridiculous. The referees have really done damage to their credibility over the years. If the league office took it seriously and reviewed the game tape, it would be glaringly obvious.

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
CantGuardBook@CGBBURNER

Devin Booker WENT OFF in his postgame interview about the officiating in tonight’s game vs OKC: "It's definitely something that has to be looked into. I heard Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James [Williams] was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible." "I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud... It's bad. "It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."

The more I hear from this guy the more I stand by my original assessment. The throughline of his entire oeuvre is glazing and stoking political violence. Which makes sense because he’s hostile to liberal democracy and the mutual toleration it encourages.

I don’t care what happens on Friday or in an eventual first round series. What a cool “heart of a champion” type of win from the Warriors. Those dudes are absolute legends.

@demonhourslol @RussellWes19381 @haltatum0 @SlickPropaganda There is the famous quote from a Supreme Court justice to answer the question of What is pornography? You know it when you see it. I have been a fan of this sport for decades. I know winning basketball when I see it. Not smart enough to explain what it is, i just spectate.
