Jaylin Williams looked at Keldon Johnson, ran directly into him AND FELL DOWN. Foul on the Spurs.

This is getting RIDICULOUS

[NBARetweet @RTNBA]

What J.B. Bickerstaff has done for Detroit is truly incredible 🤯

2023-24:
• 14-68
• 28 straight loses (tied longest in NBA history)

Pistons hire J.B. Bickerstaff in offseason

2024-25:
• 44-38
• 6th seed in Easy
• First above 0.500 season in 6 years

2025-26:
• 60-22 (3rd 60+ win season in franchise first)
• 1st seed out East
• Recorded the longest win streak in Pistons history
• First Playoff series win since 2008

No COTY for J.B. 👀

Nick Wright explains why Pistons legend Isiah Thomas is arguably the most underrated player in NBA History 👀

This is the clearest, most accurate explanation of men and women I’ve ever come across 😂

Jumbotron showed James Harden stepped out of bounds

Refs give him 2 free throws

[Brendan Schabath @Bschabath3]

A free throw disparity of 100-54 or worse has happened 11 times in NBA Playoffs history.

But, a FOULS disparity of 78-48 or worse has never happened.

Pure FT Margin over an X-game stretch is hard to search, but #Pistons difference against Cavs is undeniably historic

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

Ref standing right there dawg lmfao

[Rate the Refs @Rate_the_Refs]

James Harden draws the foul on LaVert. Pistons have challenged the call. Challenge is unsuccessful

[Rate the Refs @Rate_the_Refs]

Pistons got called for a defensive foul on this...

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔇𝔢𝔱𝔯𝔬𝔦𝔱 𝔗𝔦𝔪𝔢𝔰 📰 @the_det_times]

James Harden blatantly pushes off on Caris LeVert and it’s not called wow 😂

[Keith Black Trudeau @Charlottean28]

What James Harden did tonight was not basketball. He just keeps fouling with his off arm over and over and over because he can’t create separation anymore and when the defender closes he kicks his legs out.

But, again, it’s a Tony Brothers crew. He knew he could get away with it

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

Jarrett Allen TRIPS Ausar Thompson RIGHT IN FRONT of Tony Brothers... no call 🤔

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

[Donnie Grinnell @realDonnieG]

@getnickwright The worst 2nd half of all time. I cannot believe 19 points in a HALF of NBA basketball in 2026 was an actual possibility

[nick wright @getnickwright]

19 second half points (a playoff record for any half) in a closeout game at home when you were up 20+ is one of the craziest occurrences in recent NBA history.

We had a team down 50 in the first half of an elimination game yesterday and that’s not 10% as painful/insane as this.

[nick wright @getnickwright]

I mean… HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???

[Omari Sankofa II @omarisankofa]

JB on Orlando missing 23 in a row: "That was a special performance. To hold them to 19 points in the second half, eight points in the final quarter, that was one of the defensive outputs that’ll go down in the history books."

[Darren Rovell @darrenrovell]

The craziest stat of the night from the Pistons-Magic game.

The Magic did not score a point for 45 minutes of real clock time -- 8:46 to 9:31pm ET!

23 consecutive missed field goal attempts.
