Does Embiid purposely avoid playing Jokic in Denver? Let’s find out.

@pjlavish @mdwbasketball Semantics? I’m curious if it’s actually legal regardless of ref limitation. What would a perfect AI bot camera with 360 replay have called with unlimited replay time

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

@pjlavish @mdwbasketball He makes clear there was some peripheral subjectivity to the call and understands the refs have to make a snap judgment. So what’s the rule

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Sam Presti has been tanking and building and perfecting that team since 2007 (tanking for Westbrook, Ibaka, trading em for CP3 + 2 picks, Oladipo, Sabonis, >PG>SGA+ J, Williams, tanking again 15 years later for Chet… a near 20 year dynasty building project all to run into a Spurs team compiled of top 3 picks… just like Presti’s original KD, Russ, Harden core.

[Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA]

Watching this exceptional game, capping off an incredible series, with teams built around tanking (Thunder) and multiple top-3 picks in a row (Spurs), thinking about how none of this would happen under the new anti-tanking rules but at least Utah will play Lauri down the stretch

Wembys contest on McCain must be a perfect photograph still

Unikornett!

excited for the downgrade

Jalen Brunson everytime another major networks discusses NBA flop problem with a full overlay of okc SGA clips

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Tony Brothers staff: makes the wrong call. Huddles with fellow refs to discuss it. Decides to leave the wrong call. Sees Spurs coach challenge and ignores it. Calls foul against spurs on other end. Then hit spurs with tech. Masterful villainy

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

@VinceGoodwill the thunder wouldn’t be here had they not been able to tank so hard in 07-10, then go back to the tank well decades later. The two west teams needed. Lesson: tank like a champ and recruit stars

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Towns didn’t even take a shot again after 5:52 left in third.

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Brunson still getting away with grifting even on the road when SGA was having trouble doing it at home in g1

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Fascinated to know what prompted Kenny Atkinson to leave Harden on Brunson every possession of the 4th in game 1, then try alternatives in Game 2?

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

“Hardens the only one back on D just chuck it.”

[DaveEarly @DavidEarly]

Morey basically makes the case that they both valued stars over depth and Bob didn’t have a counter there.

[maxeysznn @maxeysznn]

This argument between Morey and Myers articulates their philosophies

Daryl says depth doesn't matter and argues for protecting flawed Star players

Myers prefers depth. Morey roasts Bob's drafting (Myers sucks at drafting, Morey excels in this area)
