🔥Savage Takes🔥

@AdamSchefter Why? Cause if hate

An intriguing visit:

@NateLndqst @PatMcAfeeShow @imanshumpert Good eye. Had to reword it. Been up all night. My ass about to take a little nap. 😆

@GridHoopReels @PatMcAfeeShow @imanshumpert Intentionally?

"I really think LaMelo Ball was trying to get his hand out of the way.. I know he wasn't thinking let me trip Bam Adebayo" @imanshumpert #PMSLive

@PatMcAfeeShow @imanshumpert How TF can you watch this and say that crap? It was intentionally.

@NBA @SoFi Il'l be rooting the Warriors to win this one. At least the Warriors might can win 1 game maybe against Thunder. Plus help them with a Lottery pick.

Steph dropped 37 in the @SoFi Play-In last year 🔥 TONIGHT... his Warriors need a win to keep their season going! GSW/LAC, 10pm/et, Prime

@LegionHoops All over one game? ROTY will always just be an favoritism award.

JUST IN: Kon Knueppel’s odds to win Rookie of the Year have tanked after shooting only 16% in last night’s play-in game. Cooper Flagg is now expected to win ROTY. This is insane and unfair… not just because of the reaction to one game, but because the play-in is absolutely NOT supposed to count for or against Kon Knueppel. However, this year, votes are supposed to already be in, but due to the league reviewing Luka’s award eligibility, they asked the media to delay their votes a couple of days. Despite the delay, Rookie of the Year is still strictly a regular season award, but traders are predicting that, since the voters are human, they’ll use Kon’s recent performance against him, even though it shouldn’t. One of the craziest ROTY races of all-time.

@NFL_DovKleiman Bengals need a new quarterback first. Quit worrying about the defense.

Wow: Bengals standout LT Orlando Brown Jr. is making a strong push for Cincinnati to trade for Giants star DT Dexter Lawrence. “Dexter is a baller. He’d be even more of a baller in orange and black. I gotta ton of respect for him and his game.” 👀👀👀

@BleacherReport @ChrisBHaynesNBA Make it happen. Suspend him.

NBA will review LaMelo "for taking out [the] ankle" of Bam Adebayo, which resulted in Bam suffering a back injury that ruled him out for the rest of the game, per @ChrisBHaynesNBA The ruling is expected to come before the Hornets' next game

@PatMcAfeeShow @imanshumpert Kind of hard to stop a guy when he's throwing elbows in everyone's face

"I underestimated what Jrue Holiday meant to a basketball team.. Deni Avdija took over and that was a statement game from him" ~ @imanshumpert #PMSLive

@FTFonFS1 @DannyParkins You're right. He never will be a Michael Jordan. In fact, he will be better than every NBA super star you can possibly imagine.

.@DannyParkins says we have to be OK with the SGA-Jordan comps: “He never will be Michael Jordan. He’s an icon, it was a moment in time. It’s not going to be replicated… If he does it back-to-back and it’s Jordan, LeBron, and Shai, he’s gonna jump a lot of guys who matter.”

@NBA @SoFi So rigged. We all know Clippers and 76ers win

A WILD start to the @SoFi Play-In last night... and the action continues tonight on Prime! 🏀 East #8 Magic visit #7 76ers 🍿 Winner secures the East 7 seed 🏀 West #10 Warriors visit #9 Clippers 🍿 Winner plays PHX for the West 8 seed

@erickdaRed @XavierSupreme_ 🪞

@GridHoopReels @XavierSupreme_ Change your name to soft takes

I want everybody who thinks Lamelo Ball purposely tried to injury Bam Adebayo to watch this video

@UpAndAdamsShow @JoshAllenQB @BuffaloBills @heykayadams Josh Allen is the biggest choke artist in history of man kind.

The most efficient rusher in NFL history isn’t a running back… It’s Josh Allen 👀 @JoshAllenQB | @BuffaloBills | @heykayadams

@FirstTake @stephenasmith You all know damn well its going to game 7 cause its rigged.

"Can we get this series 2-2, ... buying some time for Luka and [Reaves] to get back? ... That's how they should be thinking." —@stephenasmith on the Lakers' strategy vs. the Rockets 🏀

@PSchrags Don't be surprised if Jets get him at 2

Text from a respected NFL GM in response to a heated discussion we had on "The Schrager Hour" over whether a team can really take a safety (Downs) in the top 5 in 2026: "Throw positional value out this year." Food for thought.

@ClutchPoints Doesn't matter. He did it on purpose. He did it twice.

Pool report from Heat-Hornets where crew chief Zach Zarba explains why LaMelo Ball avoided an ejection after tripping and injuring Bam Adebayo: "The play wasn't whistled in real time. Play continued with a fast break. And because play wasn't stopped immediately, and there was no whistle on the play, the window to review the play was closed. Play was stopped, after a change of possession, and then a time out. So, by rule, our window to review that play then is closed."

@GetUpESPN @Espngreeny @LRiddickESPN How many years is it going to take for him not to have an WR1?

"What if I gave Cam Ward, Bijan Robinson? Or if I gave him Jahmyr Gibbs? Or if I gave him Christian McCaffrey? ... He's in that category." —@LRiddickESPN believes Jeremiyah Love can catapult the Titans' offense if he's drafted there 👀

@AdamSchefter This would be the first time a top 10 didn't pick a linemen. 😄

The top 10 picks of Mel Kiper Jr’s final mock draft:

@TomPelissero @AroundTheNFL How much help do Brock Purdy need 😆

Former Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. is visiting the 49ers today, per source. San Francisco owns the No. 27 pick.

@GetUpESPN @VinceGoodwill @imanshumpert After doing it more than once. Yes

Should LaMelo Ball have been ejected for tripping Bam Adebayo in the Heat-Hornets Play-In game? 🤔 @VinceGoodwill and @imanshumpert discuss 🍿👀
