Stacey King and DRose were a match made in heaven.

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

Sad sad news. Was a joy listening to him call Bulls games. He approached his job with such energy and authenticity

[Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls]

We are devastated by the passing of 3x NBA Champion and beloved broadcaster Stacey King.

@AndrewDBailey What’s the call if Draymond does the exact same thing?

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

What am I watching in the NBA?! There are dudes — some of the most athletic in the world — on the floor almost every possession of this Game 7

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

So unwatchable

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

SGA just fell down on the shot completely UNTOUCHED

This is the most SHAMELESS basketball player I've ever seen and the refs keep letting him get away with it

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

Exactly how I’ve been talking about it.

[The Real Calvy J @CJRealHoops2]

My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping:

It’s always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But it’s always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it.

Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept.

But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when you’re seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ball…

That’s when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. That’s when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. That’s when the game becomes unwatchable.

That’s when the rules have to change.

When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, that’s when official governance has to be increased.

Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And that’s just unfortunate.

Something here has to change.

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

I’ve been waiting for this….

[Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh]

OK I did it. I tracked over 1,000 shots for SGA, Brunson, Harden, Spida and Wemby in the playoffs. Here's how often they fell: https://t.co/0Vgr3ibDyP

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

I like this Wemby kid.

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

@Hero_OfThe_Day And now back to back offensive possessions

[Brandon Hoops @courtsidehoops]

Unreal!
