here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

@okcamars I too hate Ament and Lopez but why do we hate Carr. Giving me Trey Murphy vibes a lil bit with the shooting and the athleticism

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Virgil van Dijk speaks out against the hydration breaks!

🗣️ “I have been watching almost every game and I don’t really like the hydration breaks. And for the people watching on television it’s also not great.”

“If it’s REALLY HOT, then obviously you need it, but you need to look at it game by game.”

“But I think I have said enough already…..”

@CAlmanza1007 You gotta be the most obnoxious Thunder-related follow ever man just so damn annoying all the time… making us all look like insufferable idiots.

Think I gotta unfollow unfortunately. Figure out how to be less annoying

#2 take us to the promised land

@GfedGoCrazy Naw it’s true! Visiting teams stayed there up until a couple of years ago when the Omni opened.

Stephon Castle talking about OKC Thunder defense:

"I'm tryna to play through it, the way they guard how physical they are we don't get that same luxury to play physical on the other end at times"

[Ian @manerayo]

Incredible series happening between two juggernauts and this is what’s driving engagement. Media is useless

[Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh]

✅ NEW @YahooSports: Over the weekend, SGA fell on shot attempts more than Brunson, Harden, Mitchell and Wemby combined.

Why does he do it so often? Probably because it works. I tracked how often he gets a foul call when he falls compared to his peers: https://t.co/YCMXwaroKd

hello I am a credentialed legacy media member and i have hand tracked how many times SGA fell down for the second week in a row

@hammydlively The Mavs ref is tough because guys like Giddey, rookie Cason, rookie Chet, Kenrich, Wiggins, etc were just not remotely viable options in that series.

Chet and Cason have improved a ton + Caruso, Hart, (hopefully) Ajay, McCain, etc are just a dramatically better group

[Ian @manerayo]

@_Tr0picz @SpursCulture Could be — I just think an in-rhythm Shai with OKC’s level of defense at this level is pretty tough to stop.

The Thunder will be able to find looks for guys regardless, Mark has done an amazing job at moving guys around and creating movement in the half court.

[Joel Lorenzi @JoelXLorenzi]

This series demands courage. Jared McCain, fearless and buoyed by Page 21 of the book he carries everywhere, is sprouting:

@tobi03_cavs @SpursCulture Honestly I think it’s more likely guys like JWill and Cason Wallace start missing more of those open 3s ngl. JWill especially was fake as hell last night.

[Ian @manerayo]

Wrong again! Let’s keep the streak going!

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

I think the Spurs win tonight — home crowd, different refs, Wemby unleashed

SA wins / Wemby pts/rebs 40+ / Wemby 3+ blocks / Vassell 15+ pts = +502 on @fdsportsbook + 25% SGP

Tweak to Wemby 45+ pts/rebs 4+ blocks = 11-1

Or, just SA wins / Wemby 35-14 4 blocks =15-1

@big_business_ You’d be surprised Biz

[Ian @manerayo]

On everything I love, I think Wemby is the best player I've ever seen in my life

[Ian @manerayo]

Yea fairs Spurs got it

Wemby my fault

[Ian @manerayo]

Let’s go to work, then.
