If anyone has any insight into the OKC stuff please speak it. I’m at a complete loss of words at this point.

I love the NBA but this isn't fun to watch. I might become even more of a casual if the meta is going to be playing ref ball 24/7.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
I would like to see the players call their own fouls. Now, that would be entertaining. LOL.

Today is the best day for the Jazz since they drafted Donovan Mitchell.

It's looking the Sixers and the Lakers are both going home pretty soon.
I kinda feel for Joel Enbiid. He was a terror when healthy. Events never quite lined up for him correctly. Embiid and George will be a year older.
They will pick 22nd, I believe.
Trust the process.

Welp, sometimes you get a team on a serious heater, which is certainly where the Knicks have been living since being down 2-1 to Atlanta. Make or miss league, after all.

Leagues always need bad guys, someone to root against. Looks like the NBA might have a candidate for the position.
Victor Wembanyama. The windup and the elbow. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d5INF9Ry0Cg

That crap should be a multi-game suspension.
It's not surprising that this happened. The NBA created the situation by letting Wembanyama get away with anything he wants to do. It's been a joke. It's like when Giannis was allowed to take 6 steps before shooting. When they get that much freedom, they think they can get away with anything.

Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 36 points to temporarily rescue a Minnesota Timberwolves season that was teetering and, afterward, gave a nod to his late mother for the performance.
"Today is Mother's Day," Edwards said, redirecting the first news conference question. "I just wanted to win for my Mom. It was that simple."
Edwards' mother, Yvette Edwards, died of cancer in 2015, and his grandmother, Shirley Edwards, died of cancer eight months later. Edwards has said that he wears the No. 5 because they both passed away on the fifth of the month, and he had portraits of them next to him the night the Timberwolves selected him first in the 2020 NBA draft. "For sure," Edwards said when asked whether he was thinking about his mother Sunday. "I couldn't lose this game for her."

Um...Knicks were a better team, with a better roster and deeper bench, who played better defense, got more rebounds, and made more shots while on an historic offensive playoff run. You don't even follow the NBA, and you're angrily responding to imaginary posts. At least I know that Betterread's posts are driven by fever dreams of Embiid and Co. repeatedly torturing the Timberwolves and abusing a player (Towns) who isn't still on his team. Heck, his PTSD goes all the way back to the days of Ben Simmons, so I cut him a little slack. You? You're just a weird kid who needs to calm down.

Yeah I know it has got to suck. I would rather be a weird kid than whatever you are sir. Another year another predictable loss and you crying and making excuses. I do follow the NBA at least to know not to bet on the 76ers or the great Embiid. Take care steel go yell at some more kid fast food workers. Do what you enjoy doing.
