@DanMurphyESPN @PeteThamel Seems reasonable

Sen. Tommy Tuberville introduced a new, narrow college sports bill today. It would set eligibility limits at a max of 5 consecutive years to play 5 consecutive seasons. It also allows athletes to transfer one time, any additional transfers requires sitting out a year.

@MadDogRadio @AdamSchein The categories that matter are efficiency and winning. SGA is ahead in both.

"Luka Doncic vs. SGA, the categories that matter, favor Luka" @AdamSchein makes the case for Luka Doncic being in the NBA MVP race

@TheTyJager @AndrewDBailey That’s relevant. It’s more of an argument with somebody like a Luka who is way less efficient than SGA or Wemby. They are both hyper efficient.

@Waubaugh @AndrewDBailey What about efficiency? Wemby is able to have that impact & those numbers in less minutes shouldn't be a negative when many would call it efficient

Player A is 2025-26 Victor Wembanyama. Player B is 2025-26 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

@Nathan_Hartline @GiveMeSomeNasty @AndrewDBailey Exactly. The Spurs have said they’re going to limit his minutes going forward bc they’re concerned about his body holding up. It’s the same thing the Rockets did with Yao Ming back in the day.

@GiveMeSomeNasty @Waubaugh @AndrewDBailey Wemby plays 29 minutes per game because he’s already shown 3 years into the league that he’s an injury prone player. Hope this helps.

@GiveMeSomeNasty @Nathan_Hartline @AndrewDBailey The Spurs have said they limit his minutes intentionally due to concerns about durability.

@Nathan_Hartline @Waubaugh @AndrewDBailey What exactly makes him injury prone? SGA has missed games this season & Thunder fans talk about all their injuries this season. So I guess the young Thunder players are all injury prone?

@damanr You mean Luka’s has been jacking more shots recently? He’s not been playing more efficiently and thus impacting winning like SGA has been recently.

You can argue about MVP, sure, but there's nobody playing better than Luka right now

@MattSandersNBA Oh, look at that, oKC with a negative net free throw rating. You’d think based on this app they’d be right up there with the Lakers.

Correct. The refs did have a lot to do with the 9 game win streak.

@TermineRadio @BrandonRahbar It’s a comparison between Wemby and SGA bc their teams are neck and neck at the top of the standings. Jokic has been awesome, as always, but the team performance knocks him down a slight notch.

@BrandonRahbar Then Jokić is MVP, I guess. He leads SGA in more than things than SGA leads Wemby.

Wemby is awesome. Luka is awesome. Jokic is awesome. But SGA has been the best player in the NBA this season. SGA leads Wemby in: Points Assists Steals Turnovers (fewer) FG% 3PT% FT% TS% Wemby leads SGA in: Rebounds Blocks SGA record: 49-11 Wemby record: 44-13

@ClutchPoints Good talking points going into next season when he might have a chance to win MVP

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."

You'll be shocked to learn that the Thunder were called for more fouls in this game than the Sixers and that noted foul merchant SGA took 3 free throws (one of which came on a Nick Nurse technical). Every game. Rinse and repeat. Always a story. Never true.

@NBABlackburn Literally no one in OKC actually thinks this

What a dork

@JoelXLorenzi @ThunderFilmRoom I’d add Jaylin Williams’ confidence and consistency in his three point shot

OKC’s lineup versatility is unreal. And they enter the playoffs with three wrinkles they didn’t have a year ago: the secondary ball handling of Ajay, Jared’s relocation, and this *volume* of QBing for Hart. Obviously he’s been doing this, but he has too many options now

@JClarkNBCS @CrainNBA They really seem to not like him

Jared McCain all love with the Sixers after his return to Philly

@TermineRadio And SGA is historic on offense. They are both deserving.

The gap between Wemby & SGA on defense is just as big, if not bigger, than the gap between SGA & Jokic on defense. So if defense is that important, like it was last yr in voting, I don't see how Wemby doesn't have the edge for MVP. SGA is good on defense... Wemby is historic.

It's pretty wild that the San Antonio Spurs are about to have gone 16-2 in their 18 games since the All-Star Break with another impressive win in Miami tonight, and have gained exactly zero games in the standings. The Thunder are about to be 15-1 themselves since the break.

Most points off the bench since the trade deadline by players playing less than 20 minutes a night: 1. Jared McCain - 233 2. Cam Thomas - 185 3. Bones Hyland - 185 He’s 5th overall in bench points amongst all players and one of three players with 200+ bench points and a 40+ 3P%

OKC bar owners watching Nebraska fans leave the Paycom Center tonight.

The Real Thunder: The Walmart Thunder:

@AnaBellMedia Two great choices!

OKC is impressing me so far… Braum’s is fire and Bricktown Brewery 10/10. 🔥
