Chet Holmgren when you need him.

All NBA 3rd team and All NBA 1st team defense over Scottie Barnes btw. F**k outta here.

[StatMuse @statmuse]

Scottie Barnes this season:

— 114 steals (9th)
— 116 blocks (6th)
— First 100s/100b season of the 2020s
— Most stocks in the East

Didn't make 1st Team All-Defense.

My goodness a guy that played 80 out of 82 games, had 100 steals and 100 blocks, anchored a top 5 defense got absolutely shafted off a first team defensive team. Did I mention they were also a top 5 seed when most didn’t have them making the playoffs? Did I mention that he lead the league in clutch time blocks aswell. Lmaooo fuck these voters talking about some Derrick White. Worst thing is you got Heat fans talking about some Bam Adebayo and NY fans talking about OG Anunoby who are both phenomenal defenders, but if we’re talking this season strictly this is criminal. I don’t even know what more an individual has to do to get first team all defense. Streets won’t forget this defensive season from you @ScottBarnes561

Today was James Harden’s 182nd career playoff game.

It was the 36th time he’s had 3 or fewer made field goals. Nearly 20% of his career playoff games.

It was the 46th time that he’s had as many or more turnovers than made field goals. More than 25% of his career playoff games.

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson remembers how fearful NBA front offices acted when it came to Jamal Shead in the draft. ESPN Big 12 guru Fran Fraschilla tried to tell everyone he knew in the league what they were missing.

Now Shead, coming off an 18 point, 7 assist, two steal playoff game, is a huge reason why the Toronto Raptors have pushed the favored Cavs to a Game 6 tonight.

"There's nothing that boy does that surprises me," Sampson says. "I just remember how fearful a lot of the teams were that were calling. Scared money don't make money, brother.

"If you knew him like I knew him, you wouldn't be sitting there asking questions. But the questions you're asking me, you're trying to talk yourself into him. And I'm not going to do that."

Instead Sampson wanted Shead to go to an NBA team where he'd be valued.

Scottie Barnes should have a lot of fans after this playoff series. His energy is infectious.
