@405Fan Aren't Wiggins and Joe both better defenders than McCain will ever be?

@IchBinDeutsch_ @shaigstan @CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 I misunderstood your previous tweet ✌️

[Michael Chadwick @wickywickychad]

@IchBinDeutsch_ @shaigstan @CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 The second best team in the league took us to 7 and that makes us look bad?

[Michael Chadwick @wickywickychad]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 Didn't have to do what right now?

[Andy Bailey @AndrewDBailey]

Player A is Kobe Bryant’s career-best mark in each category. Player B is 2024-25 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

This one was suggested by @JacobKniffen.

[Michael Chadwick @wickywickychad]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 My point being, OKC is good at picking players that are close to ready and then developing them quickly. They miss sometimes also, but that's where having so many picks is handy; more chances to swing and hit/miss.

[Michael Chadwick @wickywickychad]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 "Draft picks take time to develop."

Yes, but did you look at how recently several of OKC's Playoff rotation players were drafted?

A normal post praising SGA

The top comments:

"hali got hurt it doesn’t matter"
"Stop glazing man He doesn't deserve shit"
"29.6% in game 7 All time PR"
"Eleven of their last 13 points came at the free throw line. Typical end to OKC season"
"No one takes this seriously. They had to injure players and flop to win, lmfao."
"Giannis and Jokic instead of Shai woulda done the exact same thing lmao"

KD was right. Everyone just hates basketball

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said this after he signed an extension with the Thunder three years ago…

“I don’t think we’re gonna be losing much longer.”

Promise kept.

OKC playoff net rating at home: 20.7
OKC playoff net rating on road: -6.2

A 26.9-point difference per 100 possessions.

The reward of winning 68 games is getting to host a Game 7, and that’s no small thing for the Thunder.

[StatMuse @statmuse]

SGA has more blocks than

— Giannis Antetokounmpo
— Draymond Green
— Jarrett Allen
— Bam Adebayo
— Mark Williams
— Kristaps Porzingis

this season.

April 14, 1998: The last time before this afternoon that the Dallas Mavericks played a home game without Dirk Nowitzki or Luka Dončić on the roster.

Still cannot believe that sentence had to be typed ... but was at that one and heading out now to cover this one.

Very well put by Yuval Levin on @ezraklein:

[Michael Chadwick @wickywickychad]

Jimmy Butler is 35... why does he think teams are going to want to sign him to a max contract that will run through age 38? How many 38yo guards are worth those contracts?

[Slightly Biased @BiasedSlightly]

not to be morbid but if you showed me this a week ago I would have assumed Luka passed away in a tragic accident

that’s how impossible trading him away felt lol
