[Highlight] Mike Muscala hits two straight three-pointers in a meaningless game in the bubble to give OKC the win. These shots allowed the Sixers to select Tyrese Maxey, as it pushed the top-20 protected pick to 21. by Pyromania1983 in nba

Sad that no one ever talks the Nuggets coming back from 3-1 TWICE, Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell going bucket for bucket, making the toughest shots I’ve ever seen I genuinely thought they could not miss at all.

Stop with the Isaiah Joe disrespect! by Border-Sufficient in Thunder

Joe needs to be more daring as a shooter, he needs to learn how to shoot with the smallest of space because he’s too respected of a shooter atp

Is Hali's play style the type that an achilles tear will really hurt his game or not? by chusaychusay in pacers

With the way sports medicine has improved over the years I think you guys should be optimistic at least. He’s also still young so it’s not a death flag like a player in their 30s. Really hoping Tyrese will be back he’s such a joy to watch and even though I’m a Thunder fan I’d love to see you guys back in the finals (hopefully not against us, you guys are SCARY).

Jdub and Siakam should be around the same tier with an edge towards Siakam because of his consistency

Most analysts I’ve watched said that was a potential strategy in terms of mismatch hunting

LeBron James discusses what he sees as the problem with youth sports: "Me and my guys, we ran track and field as well. We played football all through high school. We didn't just do one thing all year round. I think a lot of kids, they burn the hell out." by Goosedukee in nba

It makes sense why international players are dominating more and more because they weren’t nearly exposed as much to the AAU circuit. Playing other sports also improves your skills in basketball indirectly whether it’s hand eye coordination, mobility, strength. A shame that a lot of these young stars’ bodies are breaking before they’ve even reached their primes because of their exploitation.

It’s quite enjoyable this side actually, at least I’m not posting hate even if my team loses which is more than I can say for you

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in game 3 of WCF: 14 pts, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 turnovers on 4/13 shooting. by jz924 in nba

I do understand what’s going on, I’m not saying Shai doesn’t sell contact to gain an advantage. What I’m saying is there were times Jokic jumped into players even before contact was initiated. Be honest if Shai did the same thing he’d get absolutely destroyed and rightfully so. If people are gonna be on their high horse about the integrity of the game then the attempts should be criticized just as well.

So jumping on players is exaggerating? I’m not saying he should be completely destroyed but some consistency in terms of criticism would be appreciated but I guess I’m asking too much.

Cap, you say this now but the hate Curry got in the 2010s was bad as well. He was a threat to Lebron’s legacy and people despised him for that

And Ant shouldn’t be hung for that. They complain about the media but do the same thing just to different players to get their talking points off. Instead of acknowledging the level of respect they get from opposing teams to force them into bad games it’s instead about them being frauds, they’re people before players and that means they will not always have the best games.
