The Knicks are 30 year olds playing against 20 year olds and it shows. In both directions for better or worse. Incredible dichotomy on display and kudos to the refs for allowing the physicality.

Thanks Mike Breen for the reminder about the Suns up 2-0 and to add insult to injury I was a big Magic fan as a kid too

82-0. Seeded with The Big 0. Not sure I can top 116.1 pts. Hereby announcing my retirement. “It’s not because I don’t love the game. I love the game of 82-0, I always will. I just feel that at this particular time in my career, I’ve reached the pinnacle of my career.” www.82-0.com/share?id=mWa...

81-1 twice, 80-2 once

Oh does Mikal know something about being up in The Finals and losing the series? 😭

Jalen Brunson is like a Gen Z AI. Allen Iverson that is. Just special at that size.

I was recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It's a "disease of chaos" that completely upturned my life for a couple months. I wrote a blog about it that goes into more detail and discusses prognosis. :-) burntsushi.net/encephalitis/

Funny how time slips away youtu.be/D7iM_GGtIaI?...

Rick Adelman robbed of a NBA championship with the Kings but what an impactful career and life. Rest easy.

SGA absolutely balled out. He is him. Chet needs to go back to Gettysburg cosplay reenactments. Yeesh 1-2 in 33 minutes. What in the actual fuck.

Wembymania is must see tv. There will be plenty of time to inevitably root against him in the future. For this moment Wemby and the young Spurs are the darlings of the basketball world.

OKC dynasty Snickers life comes at you fast

NBA Game 7 where amazing happens. That was awesome.

Not only is Zach Zarba the NBA’s best referee, he is also the most handsome.

Not quite an all time classic series so far but a Game 7 is a Game 7 is a Game 7

This is like the 2nd apron surprise with the Suns right after trading for KD and finally an owner who isn’t a cheapskate and wants to spend. Separately I don’t know why the league didn’t add some exceptions for picks already traded in the upcoming drafts.

Ethical hooper to his core

Late 90’s Knicks nostalgia is strong.

Playing our first Criterion. Dazed and Confused with a brand new 4k setup.

My company thoughtfully gives everyone the day off as a Mental Health Day. Thus far a puppy dog hike at Papago, coffee, lunch at Glai Baan, record store browsing, and up next a nap. Capping off with gringo burritos for dinner and WembyMania. Take care of yourself.

Finished The Wire re-watch. Sad to leave that world of unbelievable character development. My season rankings: 1. S1 2. S4 3. S3 .. 4. S2 .. .. .. 5. S5 Wyd with the storylines in Season 5… not GOT final season bad but still a massive drop off.

I didn’t know The Onion started reporting on real life events

Thunder-Spurs teeter totter back and forth. Game 2 was a solid encore. Health permitting this is shaping up to be a 7 game all time classic.

Jim Harden going to be laughed at for the historic collapse but that was a masterclass in how to botch a game as a coach by Kenny Atkinson.

This premise —can’t play a lane clogging center against Wemby — has an interesting Suns angle. Not only is Man-Man among a select few who aren’t dwarfed by Wemby, but he could also develop enough of a 3pt threat to avoid packing the paint.

Imagine if this game were paywalled on Prime or Peacock and people missed an all timer of a Game 1 and the defining game coming out party in Wemby’s early career.

I’m sorry I love Reggie’s goofy ass laugh in this clip. The absurdity and audacity to take and make this shot.

And I took that personally. — 𝖩̶𝗈̶𝗋̶𝖽̶𝖺̶𝗇̶ Wemby

Holy crap what a game! Wemby is nuts.

Caitlin is famous for the deep 3’s ala Steph Curry but watching in person the part of her game which truly shined was the beautiful passing and court vision ala Nash or Magic. Set the WNBA career record for 20+ points 10+ assists in a game. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Curious if the ratings match the perception the NBA has done an amazing job alienating its audience. Prime, NBC, NBCSN, Peacock, ESPN, ABC musical chairs for games.

Horrible news in the NBA world. Life is short and fragile.

The most millennial song is “country grammar smack that apple bottom jeans in da club”

Suns lottery angle is the draft day deal the Hawks made with the Pels was allegedly on the table. Pels got Derek Queen, Hawks got Asa Newell (2025 #23) + 2026 #8, Suns got Man-Man and dodge a stomach punch that lottery pick didn’t land higher.

Wizz-arrrrrr-dsss

It’s been a rough stretch for Indiana since Game 7.

Ewing Theory in action against the Knicks themselves?

👀

LeBron soon 300 playoff games is silly. More games played than the entire careers of Josh Jackson (291), Marquese Chriss (292), or Dragan Bender (187).

I completely forgot about the Wolves-Spurs game and missed a classic 😭

Righteous Gemstones is an egregious omission

Two Game 7’s today and for casual NBA fans I doubt there’s much interest in Detroit-Orlando and Cleveland-Toronto. NBA is in a tough spot drawing ratings when a handful of its top attractions are out early or injured.

Toronto can’t keep getting away with this

Had no idea Bronny’s dad could ball out like that
