If the Nuggets weren’t shooting 40% from three tonight, this game would be out of hand

Why would the Thunder do this?

Let me do some research. I’ll get back to you

As a lover of chaos, I’m actively rooting against all home teams the rest of this round

Was not expecting to be researching who has home-court advantage in a Nuggets-Pacers finals but here we are.

Typically, the championship experience helps you in those playoff pressure moments…

The worst thing you can be is the home team

Biggest upset of the playoffs was Tatum driving there

They’re consistently shooting 25% for the series. It’s important to establish an identity.

These teams keep doing this at home. They deserve to lose for never learning

The first person who looked at a small bag of Fritos and thought, “I can make a taco in there,” should be emperor. I trust them with everything

dallas cowboys at at&t vs. the late afternoon sun

Kerr is too humble

The worst thing you can be is the home team

Prodigal splash has returned!

Ahead of the Wolves-Warriors series, I wrote about Anthony Edwards and his quest to not only knock off legends from the throne but to out pace his contemporaries to the title at the same time. On @theathletic.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

Shaq: “This test is culturally biased” 🤣🤣

Chet is going to have to find a way to fit into this series and it can’t be as floss for Jokic

I’m honestly not sure. I know a lot of writers still post stuff over there. I think out of not wanting to have to build up a new following. That’s just my assumption. But fuck that guy

Always find Derrick White to calm things down

JALEN BRUNSON IS EATING FACES RIGHT NOW

Some of it is the Knicks playing defense but the Celtics offense when they stop making threes is just so bewildering. It becomes the bad video game stuff

The basketball is incredible

I’m so sorry 😂😂😂😂

Curry, Green, and Hield with 35 combined first half points and we definitely all would have guessed Curry would be the guy with just 3 of them

Amen Thompson did some Rod Strickland stuff there but he’s like 6’6 and crazy athletic

Game 7 Buddy > Game 6 Klay? TUNE IN TOMORROW ON TAKE SHOW
