2 quick sports thoughts:

1) I can’t remember a more dominant NBA playoff run in my lifetime than what the Knicks are currently doing.

2) If you still don’t believe that Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player to ever walk the face of this planet, seek help immediately.

Goosebumps

This is what sports are all about

SING THAT SONG, WEST VIRGINIA!

What a moment in Morgantown. This is why we love college baseball ❤️

The absolute worst part of stopping for gas on a road trip is having to get back on the highway and deal with all the fucking idiots you passed 40miles ago

Paul Skenes couldn't get out of the first inning on Opening Day. Since then:

49 1/3 innings
21 hits
6 earned runs
5 walks (FIVE!!!)
55 strikeouts

That's an ERA of 1.09 and a WHIP of 0.53

He just keeps getting better. Best pitcher ever w/ 0 arguments by the time he's done.

@ShamsCharania No suspension is fine. It's the playoffs. But no fine is a complete joke.

Jaden McDaniels talked it and walked it and the only time he smiled was when Jokic grabbed him at the end of game 4.

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

So many athletes talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Very few athletes do both. Jaden McDaniels is a bad, bad man.

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

Seems like an appropriate time to bring this one back.

Jaden McDaniels this series:

Says the entire Nuggets team can't defend, proceeds to drop 20/10 the next time out.

Makes a layup at the buzzer just to piss people off.

Drops 32/10 in a closeout game without Ant, Donte, and Ayo.

He's a national treasure, ladies and gents

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

For all the "unwritten rules" junkies...

This is the exact same level of classlessness as Jaden making the layup at the end of Game 4.

Jokic took issue to it. But has zero problem doing it himself.

He is so unlikeable it's crazy.

Nikola Jokic end-of-game shenanigans

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

@SaintThomasMN No I know. Was asking if you had any insight as to whether or not he was planning on using it.

If anyone on Twitter is claiming they can hit a homerun off Paul Skenes, they need to seek help immediately.

The best hitters in the world would have a tough time hitting a HR off of Skenes in 100 pitches.

[FanDuel Sportsbook @FDSportsbook]

Would you rather...

A. Be given $50,000 right now

B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

So ready for another Ayo 40-piece tonight to close out the Nuggets followed by the inevitable MJ/Lebron comparisons. He might just be better 🤷‍♂️

What’s an all-time quote that aged like fine wine? I’ll start

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

“Unwritten rules” are the dumbest thing in sports and it’s not close in my opinion

[Underdog @Underdog]

Jaden McDaniels after saying Nuggets are full of bad defenders:

20 points
10 rebounds
69.2 FG%
74.4 TS%

[Ryan Macdonald @ryanmacdonald7]

How is Carlos Mendoza still the manager of the New York Mets? At some point, don’t you get tired of woefully underachieving?!?
