@megaleg_18 I have felt this way a lot in my life. My brain often gets to a point where I start to believe the negative thoughts that inevitably go through my head. I feel so weak, and I feel so powerless to change myself. I start to think of myself as so incredibly flawed. Nephi felt this..

@NotAnOKCFan He was the draft pick that made me a Thunder fan. Nick Collison was the first. Russ and Jeff Green were there too.

Were you a Thunder fan when Kevin Durant left?

@okcamars @okcthunder So you have Shai getting his first loss EVER at MSG in the Finals, huh? Interesting...

1/2 Your turn @okcthunder

@ThunderFilmRoom Yeah, I NEVER want to root for the Knicks. But I might (secretly) root for each of the players on their current team 😆. A lot of likeable players on that team.

For years I’ve found this Knicks core extremely likable. The ‘23 & ‘24 squads are on my list of favorite teams that didn’t win it. Congrats to them, man. Been very cool to watch the story play out over the years.

@MichaelRedd_ Yes. Happens to me with any physical therapist I speak to about anything outside the realm of body/biology. I don't understand that recurring theme in my life. Why do so many PTs act like a know-it-all about all aspects of life?

Has this ever happened to any of you or only me? Someone is speaking (or posting) expertly about subjects. You assume they know what their talking about (they sound so sure of themselves!) and start looking at them as a source of news/info/knowledge. One day, though, they start talking/tweeting definitively about something you're actually an expert in, say, hoops. And, well, they're speaking as if they're knowledgable, but it's so clear they aren't actually experts. In fact, they don't know a lot. Now, you go back and have to reconsider everything they've ever said because, clearly, they're good at faking expertise. And you see it and it's obvious in retrospect. It's all been bravado and 101 knowledge, at best, and opinions masquerading as expertise. What a letdown.

@GarryKnowsBall @UofBasketball Caruso also adds plenty of offense. More than many of these players (obviously no where close to a few of these).

@UofBasketball At minimum, he needs Tony Allen respect. But it’s no joke to say he needs HOF respect

Alex Caruso… Role player Hall of Fame. One of the few role players in NBA history you can always count on to be massively impactful in the playoffs.

@bitkurds @LawGorman @FinFreedom414 😅😅😅

@LawGorman @FinFreedom414 I was referring to sperm 😂

If you don’t have an at-home sauna, you’re missing out. It’s cardio without the wear and tear. It clears your head. It’s one of the best places to think. And the data is pretty clear: Lower risk of death. Lower risk of Alzheimer’s. Most people overcomplicate “health.” Sit. Sweat. Think. Do it consistently.

@Swiifteyy @ThunderChats I like your style.

@ThunderChats Let’s just win 4 games first pls. Then talk all our shit

I have a Wemby take but no one is ready for it or wants to hear it

@ThunderChats I can't help but take this bait 😅 Give me the take!

@HPbasketball The Knicks!!! Daaaaaang!! Well done!

All-time plus-minus in a playoff run. OKC currently 19th behind 18th 2024 Boston. OKC 9th among all teams in their first 11 playoff games. The Knicks are second all-time currently. Those Hawks and Sixers closeout games did some WORK.

@3113ry @HPbasketball Yes, but half of the shots/opportunities came from the Spurs' players defending him as a 3-point sniper. He would pump fake and then put it on the deck. So, even though he wasn't hitting from deep, it still helped him.

@HPbasketball I mean… he was 2/10 from 3. He was great tonight - but not because of his sniping

I really thought maybe the McCain thing would be OK. Sure, he looked awesome for a month his rookie season, but he's coming off a major injury and had spent time in the G-League, Nurse is a pretty good coach and their staff clearly didn't think much of him. I try and give coaches the benefit of the doubt. just totally wrong, he's awesome, terrible trade, McCain's an absolute sniper on a team that needs one like him.

@villeburghcity @Playoffcity @za_stax Wind up and follow-through only matter in the case of a flagrant 2.

@Playoffcity @za_stax Nah don’t do that it was a common foul. No wind up no follow through. The fox shove on Chet is more of a flagrant than this was

AJ Mitchell elbowed in his face No flagrant was called

@tyray12_ @Playoffcity Non-intententional contact with an elbow and someone else's face is a flagrant 1 in the rulebook.

@Playoffcity not intentional so that’s the right call

@RealAzariahWolf @Playoffcity Rulebook says that any elbow to face contact like this merits a flagrant 1. Even if it's completely accidental.

@Playoffcity I don't think it needed to be a flagrant, but I don't understand how you don't at least take a look.

@Playoffcity Yeah, this one was weird to me. The rulebook specifically states that this needs to be a flagrant 1.

@hale1914 @neverbeenequal Apparently you're the one who's never played ball. It's a contact sport, fyi. You get hit by other players--especially in the chest.

@neverbeenequal I can tell none of you all ever played basketball. When someone hits you that hard in the middle of your chest and you don’t really have no weight on you it really hurts.

I didn’t see this angle, thoughts Spurs fans?

ILOVE HOW MUCH JARED MCCAIN DOES NOT FEAR WEMBY

@arkaavs My wife was telling me all about how soft Castle was being here 😅 I married a good one.

Stop fucking crying ngga, we’re in the conference finals… you think we gon let you get a free bucket? 😂😂

@TheHoopCentral McCain scored on Wemby all night. What's up with the shortest dude on the court being the LEAST scared of everyone to go against the tallest dude?

This finish from Jared McCain over Victor Wembanyama was FILTHY. 🥶

@RapsComp10 @MichaelOnSports You're a real one. That's all.

@MichaelOnSports Why do some of y’all in the replies feel so obligated to defend these players? I love Wemby but he clearly flopped right here. It’s okay, shit happens, we move on.

Dare I say it's not very ethical to flop like you got hit in the face when you got “weight roomed” by 6’3 190-pound Jared McCain?

@tomhaberstroh No arguing this topic, but I want to know if anyone else has witnessed the "falls" that Wemby performs when he drives to the basket? Normally gets calls on these. He doesn't often even look at the basket. Just kind of launches into traffic. Same energy as when he got concussed.

OK I did it. I tracked over 1,000 shots for SGA, Brunson, Harden, Spida and Wemby in the playoffs. Here's how often they fell: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/fl…
