Always moving forward

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@OfficialNBARefs Lots of really good officials. Congrats

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@mike_daddino How many times do you think he got fouled call or no call?

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@SpursReporter I’m a Thunder fan. I found absolutely zero problem with it. It counts as two points.

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

Lot of new followers lately, so hey. I'm Michael Redd.

Some of you know me from a Final Four run at Ohio State almost 30(!) years ago, some from my stint with the Milwaukee Bucks (and Phoenix Suns), and some from my place on the 2008 Redeem Team. That said, many of you likely have no idea who I am, and that's cool too!

Since I retired from the NBA, I've been building. Ventures, investments, startups. Trying to find the next good idea and the people brave (crazy?) enough to build it. I've also been hanging with my family, been active in select charities and foundations, and been getting good (humbly, ha!) at golf.

Recently, I've been sharing sports takes on here and other platforms.

NBA, WNBA, college, some NFL and MLB. The welcome's been warmer than I expected and the internet clearly has a lot of hoops takes...and knowledge. Having a blast with it at the moment, honestly.

There's no real end goal or play in joining social after all these years. No agenda or item to sell. Ideally, I really just want to share what I know, tell some old stories, show love for the players out here doing it now and the OGs who did it before, and just talk ball with good people.

Glad you're here.

And if you made it through all of that writing and stream of thoughts, I think you might like it here, ha.

@SteaknShake Come back to OKC!

[Spurs Jackals @SpursJackals]

Dear OKC,

We were blessed with the opportunity by @HEB to go to your city for game 7 and… wow.

Transparently, with all the responses we’ve gotten from OKC fans on here, we thought a lot of hate was waiting for us at Paycom but we couldn’t have been more wrong.

99% of your fans were so kind and welcoming, even congratulating each and every one of us after the win. The pregame chant battles were nothing but respectful and filled with friendly banter.

There is a common sentiment that you have some of the loudest fans in the NBA and that might just be true. Every single one of you on your feet the entire game, every single OKC fan in the shirt, and your use of the clappers is impeccable. An hour before tip and the arena was already full. We’re still biased towards San Antonio, but if we’re looking for a second place in crowd environment, you guys are up there.

We know that this will not be the last time we see OKC in a playoff run, I imagine it’ll be a fairly consistent thing, but after 12 games this season, your real fanbase definitely has our respect and we can’t help but tip our hat.

Thank you for being an amazing host to us, we hope all of your players get healthy, and can’t wait for the NBA’s newest big rivalry to continue.

P&L

@ajplaytoomuch_ Still 2 points. No one cares but you and your feelings

[NBA @NBA]

Game 7 between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder has surpassed 2 BILLION views across social media platforms, becoming the most-viewed NBA game EVER on social. The series now owns the TWO MOST-VIEWED NBA games EVER on social, with Game 1 reaching 1.9 billion views.

@BleacherReport @okcthunder It doesn’t matter

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@SheaSerrano Only to people in their feelings. Still only 2 points and my team still lost.

[Run It Back @RunItBackFDTV]

"I don't think the Thunder have a Wemby problem. The Thunder had a health problem."

Boogie Cousins says OKC was more affected by injury than the Spurs superstar in the WCF 🗣️

[Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto]

Russell Westbrook, an investor in OKC’s new multipurpose stadium and surrounding district, speaks at the groundbreaking today.

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@RealTomPetrini No, we’ve been brainwashed by the Thunder organization not to be petty like this, but some of us still have those tendencies.

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@geoffschwartz Where are you when he is being held the entire game? Or do you just choose the instances you don’t like?

[Orwells Burner @OrwellsBurner]

Largest free throw disparity in NBA playoff history by the way

If you take away both team’s free throws from each game, the Thunder win 5 of the 7 games, including sweeping in

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@AndrewDBailey You are dumb. He jumped into his shooting space on fade away and Shai is trying to protect himself from a hard hit.

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@MattTyranny Next Wemby elbow get a flagrant for sure

[Michael Martin @MichaelOnSports]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had nothing but praise for his teammates after this series.

“Yeah, I'm so impressed by this group. Not to make any excuses, but they're a really good team over there, and losing Ajay and Dub the way we did in the midst of the series, you'd think it'd be a lot harder for us, but those guys never got discouraged, they played their butts off, d the reason we got to this point in the series is because of them. Supporting cast was amazing this series. Hats off to them. They were big time. I wish I was a little more myself throughout the series, give them more of a boost, more of a chance, but yeah I'm nothing but proud of my guys.”

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@jasonrmcintyre Wemby did those things and you say nothing. Shai moves the ball all the time. Have some standards

[Matt Stuart @Matt_Stuart]

@DwightHoward Depends how the rest treat him
