I can't believe these last two nights happened.

Not pulling Harden at any point was a choice.

Breen was halfway through his BANG on that Merrill three before catching himself.

Cavs keep giving Brunson the switch onto Harden with screens that can barely be called screens. Maybe they want to stop doing that.

The Knicks are gonna get this down to 5 or 6 and lose by 12.

A lot being made about the Knicks' three-point shooting but they've been awful from two in the second half (6-22) after scorching from there in the first (18-24).

67-46 Cavs in the second and third quarters. Totally dominated the middle half of the game.

Why are the Knicks putting two on the ball on every Harden P&R? It's easy pickings from there with the short rolls and shooters.

Really do not like the Knicks matching Hart on Mitchell and Bridges on Harden. That should be flipped.

The Brunson-Mitch pick and roll has been so dynamite in the playoffs. (And really all year.)

Thank you ESPN for relenting and putting the starting lineups on TV.

Wild given where we were just a year ago with Kidd (the Mavs refused to let the Knicks talk to him) but at least the fans get their clean slate for the Flagg era.

Anyone know how to fix this issue where all media/links are broken and show up like this on the timeline?

Fascinating story about the bourbon business.

How am I expected to just go to sleep after that experience?

40-20 games in the conference finals Kareem 1974 Moses 1981 Barkley 1993 Wemby 2026

7-foot-6 cash from 30 feet. Make it make sense.

Imagine not absolutely adoring watching Alex Caruso.

This game rules so hard.

That was a gorgeous play design to get SGA to the rim. Dueling Iverson cuts for J-Dub and SGA with Chet in the opposite corner for an open three if Wemby comes over to help.

Getting Wemby these switches onto J-Dub instead of Caruso has been beneficial.

Hate to agree with Reggie but SGA needs to make that pass to Caruso. Incredible defense by Castle though.

Not everything needs to be reviewed.

OKC is an unacceptable 15-38 on twos. San Antonio is taking away *everything* inside the arc with physicality at the point and crazy amounts of help, and then everyone but Caruso is 7-23 from three.

That Castle-to-Vassell corner kick for three is going to end up being absolutely massive.

Not matching the minutes in the second half, clearly trying to win the non-Wemby minutes big.

SGA isn't taking his usual rests and seems like he's having his minutes matched to Wemby's. Interesting move from Daigneault and not one I expected.

This looks like the regular season where the Spurs are perfectly content letting every non-SGA guy fire away from outside and they're all just missing (except Caruso).

NBC, please stop with the fancy camera angles. Thank you kindly.

Can Caruso go 30 minutes a night in this series? Kinda feels like that might need to be a thing.

NEW DOUBLE DRIBBLE POD It's me and @modakhilnba.bsky.social on Game 7, Knicks-Cavs, Spurs-Thunder, and SGA winning MVP.

Have A Good Summer: Lakers, Timberwolves, Pistons Reflections and questions big and small about each of the three teams eliminated from the playoffs over the last week.

I regret to inform everyone that No. 1 means Alan is canceled. Sad day for us all.

Far from the biggest problem tonight but some of the turnovers Cade has had in the playoffs border on incomprehensible.

Did Amazon just cut back into the half with Still Tippin? That is incredible.

Brutal stuff from Detroit on both ends.

The Pistons were 2-9 in the back half of the paint in the first quarter. Can't have that.

One of these two teams is going to win Game 7 and the other will almost certainly not.

The player on OKC that guarded Wemby most often during the regular season was... Kenrich Williams? Have a feeling the playoffs will be a little different.

It's felt like the whole season has been building up to Thunder-Spurs in the WCF and we're actually gonna get it. This is awesome.

This escalated quickly.

And then hits a three. Mike Conley should live and play forever.

Cade can't miss from deep but he's making some really lazy passes, again. Gotta be better with the ball.

BBall Paul did not wait long to make an impact.

I think voters might be a little more enthusiastic about the Democratic party if their elected officials didn't so clearly despise them

ABC just took down all FiveThirtyEight links and redirected them to the ABC politics page. I did a lot of (I think) good work there over the years and am very glad I saved everything to PDF when they shut the sports section down in the first place, but a lot of ppl are going to lose a lot of work.
