Orlando Magic reportedly to hire Spurs lead assistant Sean Sweeney as new head coach Good hire with interesting timing on the eve of Game 7 (Sweeney is staying with the Spurs through their run). www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/orl...

Well... this sucks. Knicks reserve center Mitchell Robinson breaks pinky finger on right hand, no timetable for a return www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/kni...

NBA owners overwhelmingly approve new '3-2-1' lottery reform/anti-tanking proposal www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/nba...

I can't wait until a couple of years from now, because of the flattened lottery odds, a pretty good team — or maybe OKC with one of their many first-rounders — jumps up to the top spot in NBA Draft and everyone starts screaming about how that is unfair.

Kenny Atkinson is staying. Donovan Mitchell and James Harden say they want to. Is that Cleveland's best path? www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/ken...

Victor Wembanyama's first playoffs proving to be a tough learning experience www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/vic...

Selling high with the McCain trade may have meant this instead. IYKYK

What kind of gift basket should Thunder fans send Daryl Morey?

Wembanyama has two shots at the rim and three shots (all misses) outside the paint. After he took 10 shots at the rim in Game 4, it's a dramatic change (and not good for the Spurs).

Dear Thunder fans, you don't get to boo that Wemby move to draw a foul when your team employs SGA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

After a rough shooting Game 4, the Thunder bench is 5-of-8 to start Game 5.

Live update on the Cavaliers effort tonight:

RIP to a legend.

Adam Silver the autocrat. The authoritarian leader. Honestly, that's what I see in the latest anti-tanking proposal. From The Athletic: "Silver... would be able to fine a team up to $10 million, force them to forfeit or transfer draft picks, reduce lottery odds, change draft positions."

Spurs defensive adjustments in Game 4 pose real problem for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, shorthanded Thunder www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/spu...

Victor Wembanyama stepped up like a superstar, dominating at the moment the Spurs needed him most www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/vic...

Spurs defensive adjustments in Game 4 pose real problem for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, shorthanded Thunder www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/spu...

To be fair, this game felt like a big win for the Knicks.

Felt like a couple of frustration, unwise shots from the Thunder lately.

15 players named "Jalen" played in the NBA this season. Four made an All-NBA team.

I get the Spurs switching to the Association white uniforms tonight, but that means we get the Thunder's blue unis. I really am not a fan.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 4 preview: Gilgeous-Alexander is controlling this series www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/okl...

I loved this Mark Daigneault quote during the season, it explains a lot: "We're actually not a team that wants to find rotational stability in the regular season. We're trying to create variability... It puts guys in situations where they have to adapt... which we think is good for the playoffs."

Wembanyama vs. Gilgeous-Alexander isn't deciding this series, depth around them has Thunder up 2-1 www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/okl...

Daryl morey deserves to be rehired and subsequently fired again

NBA All-Defensive Teams First Team Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) Chet Holmgren (Thunder) Ausar Thompson (Pistons) Rudy Gobert (Timberwolves) Derrick White (Celtics) Second Team Bam Adebayo (Heat) OG Anunoby (Knicks) Scottie Barnes (Raptors) Cason Wallace (Thunder) Dyson Daniels (Hawks)

LeBron James says decision on his future could stretch into July, 'maybe into August' (The reality is it's more likely decided by July 1.) www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/leb...

Harden and Mitchell are a combined 7-of-21.

Worse mustache: Dennis Schröder or Duncan Robinson?

Masai Ujiri doesn’t sound interested in trading Kyrie Irving but other teams reportedly “monitoring” www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/mas...

Somewhere, John Wooden is smiling.

That is just textbook zone busting offense.

Thunder have won the non-Wemby minutes by 9 so far this game. They won Game 1 by 9.

I know it's easy clicks/eyeballs to talk "Lakers" and any trade, then throw in Giannis Antetokounmpo and its a perfect storm. But can you imagine the mess that would be Luka Doncic and Antetokounmpo on the same roster.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City game 2: Three things to watch www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/san...

New York comes back from 22 down in the fourth to take Game 1 in OT behind 38 from Brunson This was an epic Knicks comeback. It was also an epic Cavaliers collapse. www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/new...

Cleveland. I have questions.

I don't get keeping Harden in the game and benching Wade, then taking the ball out of Mitchell's hands on the final play. Also, the long wait for a TO in the 18-1 run. A lot of questions for the Cavs.

Cavs/Knicks a combined 3-of-28 from 3 to start the game, but New York doing a better job of getting into the paint, lead points in the paint 24-12.

We're not getting FIBA Schorder tonight, apparently.

Jason Kidd out as Dallas Mavericks head coach, with sides saying they mutually agreed to part ways A couple of weeks after the new president of basketball operations, Masai Ujiri, was hired, the established head coach was out. www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/dal...

Thought of the day: If the Spurs win only their home games the rest of the playoffs, they will be NBA champions.

On the night Shai Gilgeous Alexander got his second MVP, did we witness a passing of the torch to Victor Wembanyama? Not of the MVP award (we're not relitigating that), but of the mythical "Best player on the planet" title? www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/on-...

That's not a flagrant. Common foul people.

What a great game. Two such smart, physical, deep teams. Living up to the hype so far.

the most reliable adjustment in every playoff series is that drone cam gets solid minutes in the first half of Game 1 and is getting DNP-CDs by Game 4

Well, at least the 76ers sold high.
