Face complexity with joy.

Thought of the day. Lebron-curry had a total stranglehold on the 2010s. We thought the next generation would belong to Giannis and jokic, but they're already on the wrong side of 30. What if the next gen (sga, ant edwards, haliburton) just skips them and takes over? Not sure I believe it yet but

Was really hoping Denver could keep it close but when AG running at half speed is your 3rd best player it makes it hard

Not sure why it took OKC so long to start attacking the rim

It's taken 7 games but I've decided... this has to be the worst head coaching hair matchup in NBA history

The final 4 teams are really just the last healthy teams left in the NBA

To me I feel like these 2nd round matchups have been more about what the losing teams are missing than what the winning teams are doing right

The fact this also screws over the future 1st rounder the Mavs owe the hornets is the cherry on top

*fast forward January 2026* "Welcome back to time warner cable arena where the hornets trail the heat by 18 here to start the 2nd. Tough start for the hornets who are already down lamelo and Mark Williams. Hornets hoping for a lift from VJ edgecombe off the bench who has been struggling with his

I think I might need to take a break from pro sports. I might actually be done.

Sigh

And if they fall out of the top 4..... I'd rather not think about that

Any other top prospect and the hornets will still be in the cellar next season. Bailey or edgecombe don't seem close to being day 1 contributors. And I believe drafting Harper would signal the end of the lamelo era.

Flagg is the only guy that can save this version of the hornets. He slides into their current lineup perfectly, and would cover so many defensive shortcomings of the entire team... might actually inspire others to try playing defense too?

Draft lottery night, what all hornets fans have been looking forward to since mid December.

It's crazy how many of these playoff games have turned into 90s style rock fights.

When someone tells me Tatum is a top 5 NBA player

OKCs purported 2nd best player *just* turned 24. Their 3rd best **just** turned 23. They are babies! Chet has played a little over 100 NBA games... Total! They're not some unstoppable juggernaut!

Can I just remind everyone that this OKC core has only made the playoffs.... TWICE. they have 2 playoff series wins, both against play in teams. Not saying they can't or won't win the series, but people penciling them into the finals have ignored a LOT of NBA history re: young teams.

Regardless of how you feel about Russ as a player, this is a HOF sound byte

I gotta say.... I'm surprised it took until games 5 and 6, but this is how I thought the series would go. Warriors just don't have enough beyond Steph/jimmy.

The worst part of NBA reviews is after literally every. Single. Foul. You have guys doing the little finger twirl. It's replaced the 2 palms up of the Duncan era

Warriors adjustments in this game 6 have been baffling

Shouldn't Pop just retire? Like obviously we all love the guy, but with his health situation + age... maybe this is just a very gracious force out by spurs?

Yea I don't think Lakers can play better than they just did. Getting your heart ripped out like that has gotta hurt.

If I were a Lakers fan I'd be sweating bullets rn.

I've been watching Steph play basketball for almost 2 full decades now and lemme tell ya, it never gets old.

I will say... still out on Bryce Young. He definitely improved last year, but to what end? Will he finally be a league avg QB next year? He was taken #1 overall and the org gave up a huge amount of assets to get him

Current state of my Panthers fandom: Didn't know the draft was last night

Not sure I'd put heavy minutes on curry when you're already missing butler and podz.

NBA awards are legit voted on by the biggest casuals.

An NBA team starting KCP and Cory Joseph... and bringing Gary Harris off the bench? In 2025???? That should be illegal

In before "the playoffs have officially begun"

Little late but IND > MIL 5 NYK > DET 7 BOS > ORL 5 CLE > MIA 5 LAC > DEN 6 LAL > MIN 7 OKC > MEM 5 HOU > GSW 6 Should be fun playoffs and the teams I typically root for all seem fatally flawed this year

I know warriors went on a little run after the jimmy trade but .. they're still just a play in team. Jimmy didn't help them get bigger, younger, or more athletic. And here in game 82 you have kuminga getting DNP'd, why is he on the team again? Idk man

That may have been the most miserable season of hornets basketball I can remember. And that's really, REALLY saying something

It's crazy how the west is just opening up for the Lakers and warriors. Nuggets and grizz basically just gave up on their season in the last 2 weeks.

The competition for stupid peoples eyes is incredibly fierce

Steph curry is having a pretty good April

listen, the economy is very simple. there are only two buttons: button 1: make some people lose their jobs button 2: make lots of people lose their jobs

Was feeling all nostalgic for Nintendo yesterday and today they announced the "Tour" style game of their new console would cost actual money. In what world??

That's about as crazy a night in the NBA as you'll get

The promotional VHS tapes from Nintendo Power were one of my most prized possessions as a kid. Probably watched the N64 VHS over 100 times in anticipation of the consoles release. What a trip.

Can't lose em all 🤷‍♂️

An absolute masterclass/embarrassment from the tanking hornets tonight. And if they get flagg it'll absolutely be worth it

2 thoughts here 1) will never, ever, EVERRRRR understand why the hornets maxed this guy when he averages about 40 games a year. Worst contract in the league 2) cooper Flagg looked pretty good last night huh?

1) NBA bluesky is, uh, really up in the QTs 2) obviously doesn't affect his legacy, unless you're predisposed to think so 3) why does LeBron engage at all? Idk. All this stuff should be beneath him by now 4) people calling media "yappers" when LeBron was on PMS (whole other convo) is laughable
