I miss Danny Ainge. Brad Stevens just killed the Celtics. Way to play it safe! #celtics

🔥 The Conference Finals cut is HERE!!

13 minutes of Shai flopping, flailing, and falling his way into the offseason 👀💀

We miss you already bro (not really) So the soundtrack is pure heartbreak and nostalgia 😢

Until next season! 😭 Best Shai fall in the comments 👇

It’s simple, when the refs swallow the whistle & allow them to play a physical, Spurs win. When every bit of contact gets called and the pace slows down, OKC wins.

Game 7 will ultimately come down to how the refs officiate the game and what they allow.

[Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh]

✅ NEW @YahooSports: Over the weekend, SGA fell on shot attempts more than Brunson, Harden, Mitchell and Wemby combined.

Why does he do it so often? Probably because it works. I tracked how often he gets a foul call when he falls compared to his peers: https://t.co/YCMXwaroKd

Ethical hoops. People aren’t just rooting against OKC because of their effective but cheap foul-baiting. They’re rooting against them because the best player in the NBA refuses to play like that despite the apparent advantages. The contrast of this matchup has made Goliath David.

Thunder fans chanting “refs you suck”

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

Least valuable MVP winners since 1997 (based on team's Net Rating with player off court):

1) 2011 Rose (+6.1)
2) 2025 SGA (+5.7)
3) 2018 Harden (+5.2)
4) 2026 SGA (+4.2)
5) 2019 Giannis (+3.2)

Checks out.

[Mark | LukaVerse @TheLukaVerse]

Scott Van Pelt isn’t even being subtle anymore about SGA 💀

“Not a ton of fun… auto whistle.”

At this point it’s just out in the open.

[Daman Rangoola @damanr]

What makes OKC especially infuriating is the wild disparity in how they’re called on both ends. You can’t lay a fingernail on SGA, but you have players like Lu Dort who can commit war crimes and not get whistled for it

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

SGA hooks the defender’s arm and falls on the ground FOR NO REASON

THIS IS THE PROBLEM

[Tyler @TylerCook23]

@EricCrossMLB Is this with a points oriented mindset or a roto mindset?

[Tyler @TylerCook23]

@Hunter_Noll Is there a way to break this down by half? Didn’t he get much better as season went on?

[PFF @PFF]

Only one team went undefeated on the road this season:

The New England Patriots - 9-0 🇺🇸

[Ben Golliver @BenGolliver]

Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama after upsetting the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals: “I’m just glad to be part of something that’s growing to be so beautiful — pure and ethical basketball.”

[Céad Míle Fáilte @ColeyMick]

Through 3 games the Celtics have done a good job showing everyone why Tatum is owed a handful of All Defense selections

[PFF @PFF]

Drake Maye in the second half vs the Bills:

@jaredadairbell We reject Contention ex nihilo I think you’re in the clear

[Tyler @TylerCook23]

@EchoW4rrior I got him too and he’s unbelievable for my COUGS. I wonder how many NCAA players from not Ohio stste are now obsessed

[Tyler @TylerCook23]

@Nets_Frequent BYU fan here. Watched most every game. Egor was a fine off ball shooter who got thrust into an on-ball off the dribble role because we had little ball handling/passing. He’s going to be a fine shooter and will be a good pick
