La carta de Jimmy Butler para los fanáticos de Warriors:
"Jugué ante muchas multitudes durante mis 15 temporadas, pero jugar en La Bahía siempre tuvo ese algo especial. Siempre fue electrizante. Así que cuando me enteré que fui traspasado a Warriors, sabía que podía ser especial... pero me di cuenta que ni siquiera estaba listo para jugar ante la afición más ruidosa y leal de la NBA.
Jugar con Steph y todos mis compañeros en La Bahía fue una experiencia increíble. Steph es realmente el mejor tirador que vi, y el mejor showman de todos los tiempos. Me siento honrado de ser Robin si él va a hacer de Batman...
La energía que me dieron ustedes me permitió jugar ante Rockets en playoffs a pesar de mi lesión, fue su amor y apoyo lo que me permitió jugar y ganar para ustedes. Al final, los playoffs del año pasado siempre serán un gran What If para mí. La lesión de Steph fue demasiado para nosotros, que sabíamos que le hubiéramos ganado a Minnesota.
Esta temporada la empezamos llena de altibajos, pero estábamos encontrando la forma, ganamos 12 de 16, habíamos descifrado nuestro rompecabezas. Desafortunadamente me rompí los ligamentos, y estoy devastado. Por mi, por mis compañeros y por ustedes. Se que mis oportunidades son limitadas y la de este año era de oro. Me duele no estar con mis hermanos.
Puedo prometerles que voy a abordar mi recuperación con un enfoque único, que me permita volver a jugar lo antes posible ante la afición que amo.
Esta historia, que ya fue interrumpida dos veces, no está completa. Ni mucho menos, estamos en medio del viaje. Estoy deseando que llegue la próxima temporada para jugar con Steph, Dray y mis chicos.
Espero que continúen este viaje conmigo. Voy a volver, y necesito que cuando lo haga estén ahí para mi.
Vamos Warriors".
Oh🥺🫂
There is absolutely no one I credit more with the career I had than Jeff Stoutland. The consistent passion and his eagerness to teach pushed my teammates, me, and our room to amazing success. More importantly, we became incredibly close as people. It was more than just coaching and teaching, it was his presence and sense of urgency that was unaccepting of mediocrity and potential left behind. He will undoubtedly be missed inside the building, and everyone that played for him. I am incredible grateful to have played for Stout, 1 of 1 coach and person. I love you coach.
1) The fact this angle was not released until days later says everything. How many times do we go into commercial / come out of commercial and get 8 different camera angles of a play only to get the one that is clear as day at the last moment. It’s all a con to make a TV show.
2) All the “the ball came free when it hit the ground / if there was no defender and it just popped free it’s incomplete” is bull. Cooks caught it. He brought it to his body as he hit the ground. He was locked in.
This has never ever been called a pick. The officials were afraid of the home crowd. They blew the call. Then the league threw every foot soldier possible out to try and gaslight the masses.
#Steelers HC Mike Tomlin was asked a detailed formation question about being in a Cover 3 defense against Four Verts on Sunday:
"I'm not going to peel back the layers of how we function from a schematic standpoint, although I am impressed by the depths of your question."

"I have no message if someone spits in your face. Do what comes natural."

I’m 37, talking to my 8 year old. I found out she sits and reads at recess. I have a look of absolute disgust on my face. I balled out at recess. NEVER sat and read, that would be punishment.
I asked “Why not go play with your friends? Why not play soccer or go on the park?”
She said “when I read, I can make a movie in my head.”
I just realized, I don’t know how to read.
Prayers for Mike Evans after this #concussion & shoulder injury.
Worth listening to the broadcasters strain to avoid suggesting a possible concussion.
Gentlemen. hamstring & shoulder injuries don't make you lie COMPLETELY still like you are unconscious...
Shots fired: #Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on Cleveland trading Joe Flacco to the Bengals:
“Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me or us because it doesn’t make sense to me to trade a QB you think enough of to make your opening-day starter to a division opponent that’s hurting in that area. But that’s just my personal feeling.”
FIFTEEN years ago today, Timmy was absolutely dominant in his first postseason start against the Braves at 3rd & King.
