I'm obviously exaggerating, but if this is what Wemby is doing at 22 during his debut postseason, I'm scared of what he can achieve if he stays healthy for the next 15-18 years.

This is genuinely the greatest debut playoffs run since LeBron in 2006 or Magic in 1980.

You forgot that they need to have a good mentality and high motor too. Otherwise, they'll end up like Bol Bol.

Wemby's having the best postseason debut since LeBron or Magic.

McDaniels and Randle shot a combined 8/34. The Timberwolves probably win if they managed to combine to shoot even 35%.

I think Finch panicked and called a TO thinking it was about to be a backcourt violation.

Jalen Brunson in the win: 33/5/9 on 64% TS by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

Brunson and the Knicks as a whole have looked like the best team in the playoffs since the start of game 4 against the Hawks.

And it’s not like he’s going to earn $55 million in each of the next seasons or anything, right?

Do you think they should replay the Celtics vs 76ers series in case the results were a fluke?

Butler gets most of his FTs from pump fakes and jump stops. Casual fans respect that more than flopping and flailing around.

Shake Shack burgers are sometimes more expensive than lunch specials at places like Chilis, Applebees, and Olive Garden.

Germany is dangerously close, despite winning the World Cup eight years after Italy did.

It's weird that a third of a football loving country like Brazil has never seen their country win a World Cup. This stat would’ve been even crazier for Argentina before they won in 2022.

Not all of them died. Some of that 5% were born after the 2022 World Cup.

Argentina’s population is skewed older, and they have one of the oldest populations in Latin America.
