Wemby is averaging 28 & 11 in the finals

Chet averaged 11 & 7 in the WCF

Are you slow?

[Louis @HoopsTalk13]

I don’t want to hear shit about the refs when you let a team take 15+ WIDE OPEN 3s in one half of an NBA Finals game. Sorry.

Kobe.
Steph.
Brunson.

Jalen Brunson joins Kobe Bryant (2001) and Steph Curry (2017) as the only players to put up 26+ PPG and 6+ APG during an 11-game win streak in a single postseason run 🔥

Most Clutch points scored in the Playoffs over a 3 year span since 1997…

Pretty incredible that Ingram played for as long as he did with this injury

First started having heel issues in late March/Early April

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

[Dan @DannoDimes]

Ingram’s injury was serious. It takes months to recover from a heel spur even without surgery. Would explain what happened in the playoffs.

Notice how one is flailing around and the other is just drawing contact

Brandon Ingram says after suffering the injury in Game 5, he wanted to return to the game/series, but the medical staff ruled him out to save him from himself.

He also says if he and Immanuel Quickley were healthy, the series would’ve went different.

“We had that conversation last night. He was like, shit suck, like yeah.”

[Joel Moran @joelvmoran]

Kobe Bryant was otherworldly. Elite play facing elite competition.

Amongst his peers he was the most feared player and for valid reason.

[Chris Walder @WalderSports]

If Brandon Ingram isn’t playing, he’s hurt. Like hurt, hurt. Not complicated. We move forward.

[Omer Osman @OmerOsman200]

Draymond Green praises Brandon Ingram for being more aggressive on the offensive end in Game 4, calling him the “best one-on-one scorer, the best go-to scorer” for the Raptors.

“That team need him to take 17-20 shots, at least, because they can’t generate the offence like that.”

“I don’t care if you go 0-for-23, that aggression is going to give this team a chance to win.”

“Dean Wade can’t guard Brandon Ingram. I love how hard Max Strus plays. Max Strus can’t stop Brandon Ingram.”

Watch Garrett Temple on the sideline, he knew that shit was hitting before BI even pulled up 😭

[NBA @NBA]

THAT CROWD POP>>>

[Niko @nikotaughtyou]

Terrible shooting performance but he didn’t stop shooting, you live with that.

[🎤N-jay 🏀 @_Njay3]

I saw Kobe go to three straight finals and win back to back titles along with two finals MVPs and a regular season mvp after people tried to question if he could ever win without Shaq, and you’ll have people try to claim he’s not top 10 ever, please lol

“That won’t happen again. BI has to get the ball. He’s the #1 option on our team, and he has to take shots.”
