Started an NBA pod, new ep up talking about underrated players and slept on stats. If you’re looking for a pod that can talk Cade, Alex Sarr, and Pelle Larson you found it.

Also shoutout @databallr, immediately has become a staple hoop site for us

Couldn’t ask for anything else in an assistant coach. @TempleUniv is getting a go-getter. Excited to see you grow my friend @MurphBasketball

Thank you 🙏

[Dillon Murphy @MurphBasketball]

Life changing experience. This program brought so much positive to my career and LIFE! I hope I returned the favor❤️🐺

Bringing all my lessons learned to Philly! Next stop @TempleUniv

[SUNY ADK Men's Basketball @SUNYADK_mbb]

Thank you, Coach Murph.
4 incredible years. A big reason we became a contender. Passionate, loyal, and always there..5AMs, buzzer beaters, heartbreak, and everything in between.

Your next chapter at Temple University is just the beginning. The T-Wolves family is forever grateful

If people don’t watch an OKC/Indy Finals match-up that’s 100% on the broadcast partners. Look how they covered the Conference Finals this morning lol

[🏁 Jamal Crawford @JCrossover]

Will talk about SGA, will talk about the Thunder’s supporting stars, will talk about their defense. ( All for good reason) BUT a hidden thing in this, their coach is a SUPERSTAR on the sidelines. Much respect to coach Daigneault

Shai says he wants to stay in OKC

“I know what I signed up for when I signed a 5 year extension... and I don't think we're gonna be losing for much longer.”

@BrysonAkins Theo Maledon, Perry Jones III, Terrance Ferguson, Patrick Paterson, Dae Cook, Reggie Jackson, D Fish, Cole Aldrich, fuck it PERK!! Thunder Up baby!

Mark Daigneault on the possibility Chris Finch tries to politick to the referees in this playoff series like he’s previously done against the Thunder: “We prepare the team for that games first of all. I said this in the Denver series because it came up there too — teams, players, coaches are going to use the media to try to influence the whistle as a competitive advantage… My mentality on that is it’s the Western Conference Finals. The guys working these games aren’t here for an accident. I don’t think they’re influenced by anything I say or nothing our team says. I don’t think they’re compromised by what anybody else says.”

Real Thunder fans know about K Rich

[Maxx Sweet @CoachMaxxSwish]

Proud of my guys 💚 love y’all!
We’re not done yet!!

[Dillon Murphy @MurphBasketball]

13 players and 4 coaches, takes 1-17 to succeed! Our leader sets the tone! @CoachMaxxSwish 💚🐺

[Maxx Sweet @CoachMaxxSwish]

In a long and grueling season, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the hard work your assistant coaches are putting in. Don’t forget to let them know you appreciate everything they sacrifice for the betterment of the program.

@SUNYADK_mbb wouldn’t survive without @MurphBasketball | Coach Sankey | @s3anmelvin 🙏

@klaytheist11 This is bad ass man! Would love to see behind the curtain on how you put This together, and even jump in and help out if you’re looking for extra hands/eyes on it. DM me!

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

Aaron Wiggins named the #1 most underrated player in the NBA by Bleacher Report’s @danfavale.

“Whether Wiggins will ever have the opportunity to expand his role on the Thunder is debatable. The issue of whether he's earned it, and capable of it, is not.”

[Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007]

Zach Lowe on the Thunder: “I would venture to guess that no team in the history of basketball has been so well positioned for the present and future at the same time… (This) is the best position any NBA team has ever been in the modern era… It’s just outstanding what they’ve accomplished.”

[Dillon Murphy @MurphBasketball]

NBA Draft grades of under B- by outlet:

CBS - 3
Yahoo - 1 (Only D grade, Edey)
NBC - 5
SI - 6
Ringer - 1

How are there on average only about 3 picks graded C+ or worse? Is this a lack of knowledge about the prospects? Did 90% of teams really just kill it with their selections?

[Thunder Film Room @ThunderFilmRoom]

Nobody loved guard-guard screens more than OKC last year & Alex Caruso is one of the best guard screeners in the NBA.

So much can be said about his defense & shooting but the connectivity role he’s going to play on offense w/ the screening & passing is going to fit like a glove.

[Dillon Murphy @MurphBasketball]

@ThunderChats Regular season majority 5, playoffs it’ll probably decrease a bit to even out with running at the 4 by matchup

[Bowser2Bowser @bowser2bowser]

Since the video was getting far too long for Twitter, here's a thread highlighting the subtle — but impactful — differences between OKC's and Dallas's approach to ISOs

ISOs *seem* boring — but "one player goes 1v1 while his teammates watch" is exactly where OKC went wrong

@RyB_311 Feels like coaching more than talent unfortunately
