The bus driver in the crash that killed five and injured 44 more on I-95 this morning has been identified as 48 year-old Jing S. Dong.
Charges are pending, according to Virginia State Police.
Spurs/Thunder might be the most interesting chess match between two coaching staffs in NBA history.
The constant battle between the Spurs trying to keep Wemby at the basket, and the Thunder adjusting their spacing in each game to get him out.
The Spurs trying to keep Shai away from the middle of the floor and out of the paint completely, while the Thunder change screening angles, floor alignments, etc. to get him space to operate.
Then in Game 4, the Spurs going away from doubles, and the Thunder finding a way to consistently force 2 on the ball in Game 5.
On the other side, the Spurs trying to get Wemby free in the paint on offense, and the Thunder doing everything in their power to push him to the perimeter.
Every game of this series has looked completely different. It’s been a masterclass for anyone who cares about more than “falling” and ref discourse.
Jalen Brunson whooped Donovan Mitchell ass so bad in Utah they blew the team up, then he took Donovan Mitchell prized destination in the Knicks that next offseason so Donovan went to Cleveland. Now he’s whooping his ass so bad again that Cleveland is about to blow it up lmao
Shai had 58 points created tonight with just two turnovers against a defense that's selling out to stop him on every possession, but we’ll probably only hear about free throws and flopping tomorrow.
Jared McCain (who isn't going to even play in the playoffs), with 24 pts, 4 rbs and 1 ast in 27 minutes in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Don't be bothered by this, as he wouldn't have even played for the Sixers due to their glut of guards.
The Three Reasons Why I’m Betting on Jared McCain’s Points ��️🎶
1. J Dub is questionable after reinjuring his hamstring in game 2. I’d be pretty surprised (honestly shocked), if he plays in game 3 and this leave aton of usage and minutes open for McCain to slot into.
2. McCain played 26 minutes but 16!! In the second half without J Dub for the entirety of it. OKC needs shooting and scoring around SGA as the Spurs have so much of their defensive gameplan around making the others beat them. McCain shot 14 shots last game without J Dub for three quarters and didn’t even shoot particular well, going 4 for 14 and 3 for 9 from 3. McCain was getting great looks and I’d expect him to be just as aggressive tonight.
3. Could easily see 25+ minutes again here with room for more and there’s just so many different ways for McCain to get shots, from catch and shoots off SGA being doubled to PNRs. When McCain ran the PNR against Wemby, the Spurs ran a drop coverage and McCain had some great looks hunting for his shot in the mid range and from 3 as a result.
Harper running out back to the bench and then all of a sudden a Fanduel employee tells him to get back into the locker room
He’s now out for the rest of the game
I still can't believe I just saw a 7'5 guy take a pull-up 30-foot game-tying three. This is what it must've been like to see a movie in color for the first time.
