Kerr would be proud 🫡

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

A United Airlines plane clipped the wing of another while taxiing at San Francisco International Airport on Tuesday. The two trans-Pacific flights that had been carrying more than 500 passengers between them were canceled, officials said.

Quick point check for Draymond heading into the Timberwolves series: Green was called for four technical fouls and two flagrant fouls in the first round. Reaching seven techs or four flagrant points will result in a one-game suspension.

From Warriors PR: Hield’s 33 points are the most by a player following a scoreless game in a single postseason in NBA history.

Let’s make sure this is the Draymond story tonight though.

A Draymond Green - Rudy Gobert beef history refresher ahead of the next series. www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/....

Only 3 points in the game for the Warriors bench, a FG and FT for Kevon Looney.

The Rockets only lead for 13 seconds in Game 7, and the lead was 2 points.

Also this!

Dub nation will get to see fan favorite Donte Divincenzo in the next series… …and Draymond will get to see his favorite opponent, Rudy Gobert.

C-heesin’! H-aving A V-ery A-wesome N-ight O-kay?

Heavy lifting for Buddy with 22pts in 16 mins on 8-9, 6-7. Draymond next leading scorer with 10. Steph 3/6/5. Limited to one first half three. Warriors bench only 3 points. Dubs lead 51-39 at half.

Last season, Jonathan Kuminga told @montepoole.bsky.social and me on the Dubs Talk podcast he wants to be a Warrior for life. Kuminga is an RFA this summer. www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-s...

JK is the first sub in. I hope he has a good game.

From the @nbcswarriors.bsky.social pregame show. Game 7 tipping off shortly!

Steve Kerr on Gary Payton II: “He’s just sick as a dog. … No way he can play.” Kerr says losing GP2 is a big blow, and it opens the door for a handful of players

Jonathan Kuminga: DNP Game 1 11/3/2 Game 2 7/1/2 Game 3 DNP Game 4 OUT Game 5 - Migraine DNP Game 6 Before we even get to Game 7, if JK can help the Warriors win, why was he a DNP in three games? Feels unfair to throw him out there now. No rhythm, no feel for series.

Draymond on Pop: “He cares about people so much. I was lucky enough and honored to have an opportunity to spend a summer with him and play for him. I gave him my shoes from the gold medal game. He wore them to the next first game we played them (Warriors vs Spurs).”

Kerr: “No question, the frustration tonight set in. I can see it the body language. We can't have that. We can't afford that in game seven. We've got to stay tight all the way through.”

End 3Q: combine for 10.

Steph (Batman) leads in both points and rebs, 16 and 5. Jimmy (Robin) is second in both categories with 12 and 4. Alfred has a donut.

The script already has one Game 7, do we really need another one?

Draymond, GP2, and Buddy combine for 7 first half points.

5 second span, four Warriors touches: Jimmy block, Dray reb, ahead to Podz, oop for GP2.

Joe Lacob wears the shirt.

Enjoyed this read on Pop from his alma mater’s perspective. gazette.com/sports/gregg...

As other people have said on other sites, GP2 moves into the starting line up, replacing Podz for Game 6.

Steve Kerr wears a “Thanks Pop” T-shirt to his pregame presser. “So before I start…Pop’s gonna kill me for wearing this shirt. He’s gonna call me a hapless rube.” Gregg Popovich ends his 29 year head coaching career to transition to President of Basketball Operations for the Spurs.

one of my favorite popovich stories is derozan talking about how he supported him when his dad was dying not only a hall of fame basketball coach but a hall of fame human

Scenes from Chicago today, where some brief rain was no match for thousands of May Day protesters. Organizers and electeds vowed to protect undocumented workers from ICE snatch squads as they marched from Union Park all the way to the lakefront.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

PAT SPENCER EJECTION GAME

Where’s the censor button?

Big fan of new jack swing and oh, hello Prince

My toddler has a Little Tykes basketball hoop that he LOVES and he does a little happy dance when he makes a bucket. But when he misses, he says “miss! miss!” to roast himself. Not sure who taught him that.
