Out here in California taking some much needed rest for myself. Gearing up for this Panthers season. So much to look forward to. Hope y’all are well.

“Here we go with the numbers again”

As if we don’t specifically track stats for every game played to determine who is doing what.

Numbers don’t tell the entire story in sports but they sure do help give a lot of context. Acting like they don’t matter is absurd.

[ShaiGorgeous @ShaiGorgeous2]

Carson: “Why does OKC’s offense plummet when Shai is off the floor?”

Hater: “It doesn’t”

Carson: “They have an offensive rating of 124 with Shai on and 114 with Shai off which is below average”

Hater: “Here we go with the numbers again”

SGA haters are bots 😂

[sam presti’s frames. @Jessicaoma_]

i thought i was done crying. the location and song choice…
bye i can’t. 😭

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Heartbroken but I understand it.

Aaron Wiggins saved basketball man.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN.

Forever an NBA Champion & gave us the greatest speech of all-time.

[ya boy pablo sanchez @yaboypabIo]

ngl i was faded lmao

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

As someone who lost their mom in 2022, watching Karl-Anthony Towns finally win one for his mom is pretty damn cool.

I may be a Thunder fan but some things are bigger than sports.

Congrats to the Knicks. They earned it.

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

OH DAN MORGAN THE THINGS I WOULD DO FOR YOU.

LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[NFL @NFL]

Panthers, WR Jalen Coker agree to three-year extension worth up to $41M. (via @RapSheet)

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Thunder wouldn’t blow a 29 point lead in the Finals by the way.

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Are the Spurs getting some real sweet treatment from the officials in this series? For sure they are.

This is how it was against OKC though and y’all said we’re just floppers and foul baiters.

So unfortunately, I don’t care. Play better I guess.

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Sam Presti always and forever the GOAT.

[OKC Skittles 🍬 @OKCskittles]

Here’s the epic 6:30 rant by Presti

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Now y’all wanna try and hold the Spurs accountable for all this trash?

Y’all ain’t have this same energy when it was OKC. It was all flopping according to social. You asked for this mess.

[Cooper Jones @CooperJNBA]

LMAOOO nah stay right there

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Everyone sells calls but when it’s the MVP somehow it’s unethical and he’s just a flopper.

By the way, wasn’t buddy complaining about not being able to play as physical as the Thunder?

[rio @pilgeousx]

Selling calls is normal every NBA player knows it and does it hating Shai for it is one of the biggest mass psychosis events of our lifetime

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Nobody ever talk to me crazy about my MVP.

Game 7. Had to have it. Showed up and put the team on his back.

[StatMuse @statmuse]

The MVP in Game 7:

35 PTS
9 AST
3 STL

Not enough.

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Chet Holmgren is the sole reason the Thunder are not going back to the NBA Finals.

I’m not paying you $239 million to take two shots in a win or go home Game 7. Four points and four rebounds is inexcusable.

A lot of hard conversations to be had for an All Star this offseason.

[christian doyle / ℞ @paroxygen]

Ethical hoopers though right?

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Victor Wembanyama to Mason Plumlee in Game 5:

“Hard fouls.”

(via @ShowCaseShabazz, h/t @Fullcourtpass)

[Fan @undercoverNBA]

In the last 3 weeks Wemby has:

- Intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the neck
- Called for bench players to try to hurt Thunder players with hard fouls after losing
- Skipped mandatory postgame media
- Yanked Lu Dort’s hair (the exact play Spurs fans wanted IHart arrested for)

All with no additional punishment from the NBA, Wemby being donned as the face of “ethical basketball,” and the narrative from the series being the Thunder whistle and Shai falling in a series they’re shooting less FT with both sides playing physically.

We’re witnessing the biggest mass gaslighting event the sport has ever seen.

[AB @DaktoJdub]

Maybe it wasn’t the hair, hard to tell, but I bet this don’t go viral
