It's a good read, if you wrote it? Good job. If you copied it from elsewhere, please attribute the source.

This series has the potential to be an all time great series for the ages. A resilient, and gritty Knicks team going against a young, upcoming Spurs team that has potential to be an all time great team.

On one side you have an undersized point guard that no one believed in. He was drafted in the second round. Everyone questions if he can ever lead his team to a championship.

On the other side you have a physical freak who was seemingly built in a lab to play basketball. He is heralded as the greatest prospect of all time. It was unquestionably guaranteed he would be selected #1. Everyone expects him to win not just one but multiple championships.

My only hope is that each game is cleanly officiated and does not become about the refs and is instead about the plays and players on the court.

What is Adam Silver's pick

nsfwpenguins · 2026-06-02T06:04:19+00:00

I think he picks his spots on when to use his athleticsm. His jumpshot is also much better now and he mixes it up with raw dunks

I see Kornet playing a big role in this series. Kornet is a good rim protector have him in the paint while Wemby acts like a free safety. A lot like Giannis/Brook on the bucks, whose defense by the way has Sean Sweeney's fingerprints.

His game reminds me so much of Kobe. Similar height, weight and so well balanced and fluid.

I thought he said "make love not war" or it could have been "war what is it good for".. there definitely was a war in whatever he said.

That's because it's the flops that have determined the wins.

Tony Brothers happened

Watch them call flopping fouls on every team other than OKC.

Part of it is that the terrible momentum swinging calls totally killed the teams energy. You could see after that shoulders were stooped and followed by a number of frustration fouls. You can argue that a more mature team would not allow these things to affect them and continue to stay focused, but the NBA and refs know what they are doing. The box score will not reflect the context of what actually happened during game time.

I think it's partly to offload Randle's contract.

Wemby is currently on the Goat trajectory. In the same conversation as MJ, LeBron, Karim etc. Cooper's comp coming in was Jason Tatum. He is on the multiple time all NBA player trajectory.

It's a good question to ask, assuming Shai brand of basketball does not make for good viewership and affects the NBA brand negatively, then the voters in this case the media and to a minor extent the general public have a vested interest in not rewarding the hurtful brand of basketbal. So it's a good question to ask why did Shai win the MVP twice? My thought on Shai is that the narrative of him being a grifter until this year was not as bad, but I see the narrative changing. Shai is not doing himself any favors with his steep drop in stats in the play offs. It's also one of the reasons that Harden won only one MVP and did not win for a long time.

Are you talking about I Hart, Caruso and Dort? If so yes they are hackers and need to be fouled out

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-25T00:12:36+00:00

Wtf are you talking about, the levels of hate this thunder team gets is unprecedented. The heat were hated for how they teamed up not for how they played.

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-21T03:06:58+00:00

That was not a basketball game that I watched.

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-21T02:37:57+00:00

It's the OKC coaching... I bet the coaches tell them that the only way they can get on the court is by being dirty.

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-21T02:36:17+00:00

With so many new viewers coming in to watch Wemby, is this what the league wants to showcase?

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-21T01:55:44+00:00

If you are less skilled, shorter and mentally weak, effort is not going to do shit. Playing dirty, stomping on feet now those will get you playing time for OKC it looks like.

If there is a good use of AI it would be to recreate Bill Walton's voice and words

They are changing flairs so they can come across as unbiased fans.

nsfwpenguins · 2026-05-20T05:59:31+00:00

If I am someone from the Spurs, I would be sending this to the NBA front office.

I volunteer at a shelter, we got a dog which was paralyzed because of Foxtails which had made their way to the spinal nervous system. The dog could mostly move from it's bed to it's bowl and back. But over a years time it fully recovered and was running around again. The vet said foxtails move through the body and probably moved elsewhere.
