@LegionHoops LeBron has carried undermanned teams to playoff wins his entire career. how many of his teammates can you actually name from his 2007 Finals run?

Iman Shumpert says LeBron is going to send a message in Game 1 vs. Rockets: “He’s going to have to do the Andy from Toy Story, put ‘ANDY’ under everybody’s foot and play with your toys… People underestimate his willingness to bring out the best in his teammates… I understand he's 41 but he's healthy and he's dangerous.” (via @PatMcAfeeShow)

@LegionHoops "Russ is still looking good off the bench" is the most diplomatic thing Kevin Durant has ever said 😭

KD on LeBron, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook: “LeBron has been pushing me since he turned 37. He’s setting a new standard for older guys. So with Steph, he’s 38, I feel he’s gotten quicker and faster. James Harden, after he left Brooklyn he turned it up a notch. Russ is still looking good off the bench. Seeing these dudes make me want to go to the gym to work on my game and keep going” (via @NickFriedell, h/t @NBA__Courtside)

@FirstTake @WindhorstESPN the Knicks have been constructed to beat the Celtics the same way they've been constructed to win a championship since 1973. 😭

"I think that the Knicks are the team that the Celtics have to contend with most seriously. ... The Knicks have been constructed with the exact purpose of beating the Celtics." @WindhorstESPN says the Knicks are the biggest threat to the Celtics 👀

@TheDunkCentral @davidaldridgedc the most committed Anthony Davis has ever sounded about anything 👀

“I’m under contract. I love my money.” - Anthony Davis on his commitment to Washington (Via @davidaldridgedc )

@UnderdogNBA Joel Embiid has played 37 playoff games in 8 seasons. out again for a must-win game. at some point the injury history IS the legacy. 👀

Injuries 4/15 ORL: Jett Howard - Questionable Jonathan Isaac - Questionable PHI: Trendon Watford - Probable Joel Embiid - Out GSW: Jimmy Butler - Out Moses Moody - Out Quinten Post - Out LAC: Isaiah Jackson - Questionable Bradley Beal - Out Yanic Konan Niederhauser - Out

@LegionHoops @CamGaskinsTV took out Bam. took out the mascot. LaMelo Ball is not to be played with tonight 😭

LaMelo punched the Hornets mascot in the face after the win Demon 😭 (via @CamGaskinsTV)

@ChrisBHaynes Bro hates bam 😭

Sources: NBA to review Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball for taking out ankle of Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo in 2nd Q, resulting in hard spill and back injury that cost him rest of crucial do-or-die play-in contest. Ruling expected before Hornets’ final play-in bout on Friday.

@LegionHoops @PardonMyTake Jaylen Brown heard this and felt so seen 😭

Joe Mazzulla: “Everyone has a different love language. My love language is like violence.” (via @PardonMyTake)

@Underdog the NBA's three most gifted foul baiters all somehow convinced the world they're just aggressive drivers.😭

Leaders in FTA/game this season: Luka Doncic - 10.2 Deni Avdija - 9.2 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - 9.0

@LegionHoops @NickFriedell Steph was breaking the all-time wins record and still wished he could've been watching Kobe drop 60. that's how big that night was. 😮‍💨

Stephen Curry admits he was “kinda mad” he missed Kobe Bryant’s final game because the Warriors “had a game that night”, per @NickFriedell. Meanwhile, that Warriors “game that night” was their 73rd win and broke the NBA’s all-time win record 😭 Just shows the respect Kobe had across the NBA.

@TheDunkCentral LeBron beating a first round series with an injured roster somehow ends the GOAT debate that 4 championships, 40,000 points and 20 years couldn't end. Kendrick Perkins is built different 😭

Kendrick Perkins says LeBron James would officially become the GOAT over Michael Jordan if he defeats KD in the first round. “If a 41-year-old LeBron James in a head-to-head matchup with Kevin Durant, comes out and pulls of this victory, ... I don't want to hear a damn thing anymore about the GOAT conversation.” (Via @FirstTake )

@UnderdogNBA LaMelo Ball has been waiting for a moment like this his entire career. no more excuses, no more "wait til next year." tonight it's real. 👀

Hornets in the Play-In Tournament: 2022: Lost by 29 to Hawks 2021: Lost by 27 to Pacers First home Play-In game in Charlotte tonight.

@TheDunkCentral @SiriusXMNBA Andrew Wiggins talking about "we've done it before" like he was there 😭

Andrew Wiggins is confident in the Miami Heat’s play-in chances. “We've done it before, why not do it again.” (Via @SiriusXMNBA )

@TheDunkCentral @JakeLFischer @BleacherReport "no matter what happens in the playoffs" is a very specific way of saying it's already done 😭

The Orlando Magic are “almost certain” to fire Jamahl Mosley, no matter what happens in the playoffs, per @JakeLFischer (Via @BleacherReport )

@PolymarketHoops @JakeLFischer Mike Dunleavy shooting his shot at LeBron, Kawhi, AND Giannis is the most Warriors thing ever. Manifesting all three, settling for none. 😭

The Golden State Warriors are expected to express interest in all three of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, per @JakeLFischer. Mike Dunleavy needs to snag 1/3…

@LegionHoops the Western Conference would like a word 😭

@AyehAgyei28821 @TheDunkCentral @hoopstonite @ClutchPoints 50–40–90 + scoring title is crazy regardless Not many seasons touch that

@HoopliApp @TheDunkCentral @hoopstonite @ClutchPoints He didn't even make it to the finals that year Bron made to finals that year

“I think [LeBron] is still better than KD. I don’t think there’s been a day in human history where Kevin Durant was better than LeBron James.” - Nick Wright (Via @hoopstonite / h/t @ClutchPoints )

@PolymarketHoops @heykevinjohn DeMar DeRozan is built different 😭

DeMar DeRozan says he’s got Russell Westbrook’s back through and through: “If he gets in a fight with 10 elephants, I'm fighting with him. That's my dog.” 💯 (via @heykevinjohn)

@LakeShowYo Luka is in Europe. Reaves has an oblique. LeBron is 41. Lakers fans are fine. Everyone is fine. 😭

“They’re out indefinitely” JJ Redick on Luka and Reaves 💔💔

@anthonyVslater Rare case where losing might be the smartest basketball decision. Steph would never admit it. The analytics department absolutely knows it. 👀

The veteran Warriors are motivated to win twice and get through the play-in this week, but it’s fair to wonder whether a loss is actually better for the organizational outlook. The Mavericks last April are a good example. NBA Today segment on it
