I mean the wolves are the number one defensive team in the nba for a reason
They swept the suns
And most of them were blow out wins
🗿
ye i got the wolves winning in 5-6
The nuggets lost brown
So they are slightly worse on defense
Should have never traded him to the raptors
i think he just left in free agency
Eh the nuggets should had paid him cause he could match ant energy
ad actually made jokic struggle this series and gobert is as good of a defender as him
plus they got mcdaniels ant and everyone else
they gonna be insane
Lakers finish to season has left coach Darvin Ham’s future in serious peril, as some stakeholders indicate he is highly unlikely to return, sources say.
What went wrong for L.A. and inside LeBron James’ future at @TheAthletic with @sam_amick, @jovanbuha: https://theathletic.com/5453498/2024/04/30/lakers-lebron-darvin-ham-future-offseason-plan/
The Lakers are open to drafting Bronny James this June to help fulfill LeBron James’ dream of playing with his son, team sources tell @shamscharania, @sam_amick and @jovanbuha.
Bronny announced earlier this month that he will enter the 2024 NBA Draft.
Brown play a crucial role in the finals last year
And they team might not be better than last year final team cause they have no depth
i'm actually so down for a timberwolves celtics finals
Screw the Celtics man
with bucks injured it's guaranteed they make the finals lmao
Gotta get passed ny
new york not stopping celtics
I just finishing watch the full game recap.
The last moment of LeBron is too weird .
what is he doing on passing the last shot to Prince, isn't him the Goat
Yall said New York wasn’t beating Philly so
🤷♂️
no i said ny would beat philly in 5 and they're about to 💀
they not beating the celtics tho
I mean most of yall
If they can beat Philly they can beat the Celtics is what I see
embiid injured rn
And LeBron just escapes from the court after the game buzzer..
Didn't catch hugging other Nuggets players
if he was 100% sixers would beat them
Tatum gonna get lock up by OG so it depends who scores the ball more
I want Knicks to win cause screw Boston
I hate both teams
💀
i think it's guaranteed whoever comes out the west wins the ring anyways 💀
pacers get swept against boston lmao
their offense is their defense and celtics perimeter d is od
Idk pascal been balling with the new system
celtics scoring 160 every game
wolves actually match up against every team so perfectly it's crazy
fr didn't think they'd be championship favorites
Crazy thing is ant already surpassed mj first round exist mile stone at 22
It took MJ 7 seasons to get out the first round
Eh it’s not that bad compare to ja fan
He’s literally a young mj in the making
Am not surprised at all ant talk trash and actually back it up
I’ll say more like a better 06 dwade with Michael Jordan potential
And Ant might take mvp away from jokic too
Cause his campaign is more impressive to not give it to him
ant isn't winning mvp this season 💀
he prolly not winning it for the next 2 seasons either
He might win it tho never know
it really hard to not give him it cause wolves are really built difference with him this year and he might beat jokic
jokic shai and luka all deserve mvp more than him
ant will prolly win 2-3 mvps in his career tho
Wade 808 3 ultra v2 or ja morant 1s
Wild fact, if excluding the 1 free throw from defense 3 seconds, Jokic + Murray total 50 shot attempts tonight, but 0 Free Throws
Wilder fact, the Nuggets beat Lakers under such disadvantage
Im defently taking the ja 1s
the only thing he might get is finals mvp

ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne: Timberwolves coach Chris Finch will undergo surgery to repair a right Patellar tendon on Wednesday and it remains unclear whether he’ll be able to open conference semifinal series vs. Nuggets on the bench: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40056029/sources-wolves-chris-finch-surgery-collision

Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens has won the NBA Executive of the Year award.
Brad Stevens has won the NBA Basketball Executive of the Year Award for the first time. He is in his third season in his current position after serving as the Celtics’ head coach for eight seasons.
Stevens assembled a team that went an NBA-best 64-18 in the 2023-24 regular season. His player acquisitions leading into the season included two of Boston’s starters, guard Jrue Holiday and forward-center Kristaps Porziņģis.
Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards has generated more than 100 million video views across NBA social and digital platforms since the start of the NBA Playoffs, second among all players (trailing LeBron James with 130M video views). Edwards finished the regular season as the 7th most-viewed player on NBA social. He has gained the most Instagram followers among players since the start of the playoffs.
https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1784797190809932113
New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgeries to repair foot and wrist injuries, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Bogdanovic played a key scoring role off the Knicks bench since coming over in deadline day trade from Detroit.
Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis has a right soleus strain. He will miss Game 5 vs. Miami on Wednesday.
Celtics C Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss a minimum of several games with the right soleus strain, sources tell ESPN.
The Celtics say Kristaps Porzingis is out with a soleus strain — the same injury Giannis Antetokounmpo has missed the entire Bucks-Pacers series so far with.
LeBron would stay at Lakers

Gotta love Knicks fans
They have consistently been booing embiid

All I know is that I'm a Knicks fan for this postseason (I'm a warriors fan)
Can’t deny the fact that Brunson is the best pg rn in the east

The Los Angeles Lakers have parted ways with coach Darvin Ham, and sources tell me and @jovanbuha an extensive search will commence soon, with candidates such as Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson, JJ Redick and, if he becomes available, Ty Lue among others.
The evil has been defeated lol
The bad man is gone finally
Reporting for @SportsCenter on ESPN’s breaking news of the Lakers dismissing Darvin Ham
Lebron still not a laker so jokes on y’all 💀💀
Think he'll be back
How realistic is it that Ty Lue could be the next coach of the Lakers? @wojespn reports on NBA Today:
Nope. Gone.
Trae would resolve all lakers‘ problems
Yeah MASSIVE upgrade from DLow..

Hopefully Christian wood is back next season
Definitely
ESPN Sources: Clippers planning to pursue a coaching extension for Ty Lue https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40077385/clippers-want-sign-coach-ty-lue-extension
Doesn't LeBron have sway in the front office?
Please let the lakers get him
Regardless we keep blaming the coaches (except for Doc Rivers that man got lucky in 2007-08 and it shows)
And not the ones with the true power get an ounce of blame.

Pelinka and Jeanie have gotten off scot free which doesn't sit well with me tbh

Finally, are we seeing game 7?
Magic forced a game 7
Mavs PF/C Maxi Kleber has a right shoulder sprain and is doubtful to return to Game 6.
Ngl I feel like people forget that Kobe almost 3 peated twice
He won 3 straight with Shaq
Lost to the pistons in 2004
Lost to Boston in 2008 and then won in 09 and 10
He was like 1 game away from three peating again

Cavs???

Dallas Mavericks F/C Maxi Kleber has suffered a full dislocation of the AC joint in his right shoulder, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Kleber is out for a significant period of time, if not the entire postseason. Tough loss for Mavs' frontcourt.
Who ya'll got t wolves or nuggets?
The MRI revealed a third degree dislocation of the AC joint in Mavs PF/C Maxi Kleber’s shoulder, a source told ESPN. He will be sidelined indefinitely, perhaps for the remainder of the Mavs’ playoff run.
Mavs PF/C Maxi Kleber will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his right shoulder sprain, source says. Kleber is a key defender who shot 10-of-18 on 3s in the first round vs. Clippers.
Four-year NBA veteran Darius Morris has passed away at the age of 33. Morris played for the Lakers, 76ers, Clippers, Grizzlies and Nets from 2011-2015.

Victor Wembanyama is the first player from France to win the Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He is also the third player to earn the honor with the Spurs, joining David Robinson (1989-90) and Tim Duncan (1997-98).
Wembanyama led all rookies in points, rebounds and blocks per game. He is the second rookie to lead all NBA players in blocks per game in a season, joining Manute Bol (1985-86).
Wembanyama became the first player to average at least 20.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in fewer than 30 minutes per game in a season. He is also the first player to have at least 1,500 points, 700 rebounds, 250 assists, 250 blocks and 100 three-pointers made in a season.
Wembanyama is one of three finalists for the 2023-24 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. TNT will reveal the winner on Tuesday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Wolves in 4, it's about to get ugly.
Held to under a 100 points twice at home? They rested on of their startes in game 2. These are the defending champs not a "contender" so this is actually more embarrassing than what the Lakers suffered cos at least we "expected" that one. Here, Vegas had to pull a 180 degree turn real quick😝
Ant is one of version MJ
Don’t jinx it 💀
We winning it all
I think the wolves got it this year

Rudy Gobert has been named the Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year for a record-tying fourth time.
The 7-1 native of France joins Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace as the only four-time winners of the award, which has been presented annually since the 1982-83 season.
Gobert is also the first player to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award with the Timberwolves.
RUDY GOBERT:
- anchor to the #1 defensive team in the league(on multiple teams, even in his jazz days so u know it’s not a fluke)
- #2 in paint points allowed (2nd best in NBA)
- #3 in second chance points allowed (3rd best in NBA)
- top 5 in defense at within 10ft (wemby isn’t even top 10)
- better overall DFGM% than wemby
- teams shot 14.4% WORSE than their normal FG% when being guarded by Rudy.
- higher defensive win shares than wemby
- (this is a team stat but rudy heavily impacts it) #1 team defensive rating and #1 individual defensive rating (104.4) in the league
the only thing wemby has over rudy is his STOCKS, which don't even directly contribute to stops. The things rudy leads in, DO directly contribute to stops. I've seen people say wemby turns the #27 defense into a top 5 defense on the floor, but that's if you're looking at defensive rating which is a complete team stat. and even then its not top 5, it peaks at #22. Idk this is just my take. I believe wemby will be a future DPOY, but this season rudy is just absolutely blowing every stat out of the water compared to the other candidates.
Knicks say Mitchell Robinson sustained a stress injury to his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in 6 to 8 weeks.

Jokic wins mvp
How trynna win VC hurry contact me
Luka robbed tbh
He was great but robbed is too harsh
Jokic was great this season
ROBBED
SGA Got Robbed
🫤
Robbed is harsh. Jokic had a great season. My pick was Luka
50+ wins averaging 33/9.2/9.8. wasn't bad defensively in the regular season
Jokic probably slightly ahead of Shai because of the amount won despite Murray missing games
Shai had a lot of support compared to the other two as good as he was
yoooo

Any predictions for tonight?
Haven't seen any game from Knicks & Pacers, how are they 2-0 up
I think Jokic is overrated and is just Russell Westbrook at center
Can someone tell me why I’m wrong
That’s an awful take
Westbrook was never as efficient as Jokic
The only players in the last 25 postseasons to make a 30+ foot game-winner in the last 30 seconds of a playoff game are:

cp3 is a top 5 pg all time
dame is top 75 and tatum was on pace to be top 75 till this playoffs where derrick white snatched his chain 💀
i don't think any of them are overrated ngl just properly rated
Nah
CP3 got to the finals ONCE
Curry, Johnson, Oreb, Jerry West, Ithomas, nash are better than him
cp3 would've made the finals multiple more times if the nba didn't veto the lakers trade or he didn't suffer injuries
he's better than oscar and jerry
jerry lost in the finals 9 TIMES
Im sorry, to which team
and oscar only averaged a triple double bc of inflated stats
there's levels to it and west was good af but cp3 is straight up better
cp3 is a top 3 smartest nba player of ALL TIME and ur saying he doesn't know how to win 💀
we're forgetting that cp3 and rondo were the best proper pgs in the 21st century
he's literally bent the rules and used his iq to win games multiple times
like the pass first style
He'll be remembered as the third best point guard to have no rings (behind stock and ai)
Rondo > CP3
ai is a shooting guard lmao
i'm sorry but watch stockton play then watch cp3 play
there's no way u think stockton is fr better
only ppl he's behind are bron and rondo
prolly rondo only bcs of the rings
only reason he played pg was bcs eric snow left 😄
ai would be a pg in todays era tbh
ai didnt have the pass first mentality
I agree, he aint that good
neither did stephon marbury lmaoo
Hes like kyrie irving but without knowing how to win
i'm not saying he's bad but he's more of a ball dominant player
yeah thats what i was about to ask
iverson's competition was kobe + shaq
he had mutombo
that's like calling someone "not clutch" bc they missed a shot last second
like 35 yr old mutombo
u can miss a shot last second then do clutch things every other minute of the game
the rings are given to best team lol
so jokic having a team built around him with amazing front office means he himself knows how to win??
fr
no the TEAM knows how to win
Do you get some type of perm if you boost?
not just jokic
Honestly? It's about player efficiency in the moments tgat matter most
Boost as in the server? Or the bannable offense?
if that's the case then jamal murray knows how to win more than jokic
The server
bc he's their shot maker in the 4th
I have a boost rn but idk what server to put it on
And im active in this server usually
put it wherever it'll give u the best perms
@charred basalt this is crazy 💀
look at 11th
who's voting for iverson to be dpoy??!?!
The same guy that voted I cant remember who for mvp this season
There was a guy who got 1 third vote lol
Cant remember the name
the same ppl that think getting a lot of steals means ur an elite defender 😭
the fact that tim duncan bron or ad never won a dpoy shows how criminal the media is
and how bs awards are
tim duncan is one of the best post defenders of all time
Awards are bs af
he got votes for the all defense but never made it
i was just talking about shawn marion with my friend
marion not making defensive team is like shai not making all nba at all 💀
Too
Rise or Elite

kenny smiths knees will appreciate it tho
Looks like NBA must be on repeat mode towards Detroit and gave them the 5th pick again.
@brisk lodge that's sad I loved inside the NBA
Tbf I ain't bashing his athletism it's just that people and LeBron get PTSD the moment someone criticizes Him.
You wanna stop the "haters"? Maybe don't shove him down people's throats and don't force people to acknowledge him as a greatest of all time. Don't get PTSD when someone points fair criticism towards LeBron.
Who will 2K use as a replacement?
@static kelp Kendrick Perkins or maybe they keep Shaq or Chuck
Think about it

Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell is expected to miss tonight's potential elimination Game 5 vs. Boston, sources tell me and @joevardon. Mitchell is dealing with a calf strain.
To be fair everyone was considering they were down 2 to nothing. At least Anthony Edwards isn't having excuses for this set back. Man... He should be the star not LeBron.
Hey, don't be like that. Don't cry cos they lost, smile because they may yet shine bright like a star should they fix their woes.
That’s poetic asf bro
If anything you should be blaming Shaq Minner cos Shaq prodded Jokic into Beast mode.
Real bro
He can’t stop chatting
Yeah Shaq ran his mouth about Jokic and motivated Jokic, if Shaq didn't do that you would have seen a sweep so yeah
Regardless you Timberwolves fan have a star in the making.
Man is humble and is willing to take responsibility for a loss
You don't see much of that anymore.
Yeah ant has been amazing gobert got put in a casket last night tho
If timberwolves and okc both lose I’m gonna stop watching the playoffs cause atp it’s just gonna be Celtics nuggets final and I don’t care abt that anymore 😭😭
Definitely
Yeah it’s a lot of crying from people who can’t take responsibility for their actions or their teammates
Heck Anthony Edwards doesn't have to be like MJ to be great star, he just needs to have that drive and he'll get to the championship eventually
If not this season give it time.
Yeah exactly people compare him and jimmy to Mj but it think it’s dumb that if they aren’t them then they are a failure
Let them become and be their own players I swear
Amen, and Yeah, that's been happening ever since MJ retired a second time in 1998.
Poor Allen Iverson and Vince Carter, great basketball legends of their own right were victims of this comparison crap
They may not have won titles but they stood the test of time and put in the work
Heck Vince Carter made a mark in the Dunk Contest

ah yes

@everyone who want to join a 2k pro am league ?
ESPN Sources: After an Eastern Conference semifinal loss to Celtics with short-handed lineup, Cavaliers plan to take time to evaluate coach JB Bickerstaff’s future, but organization remains fond of him and marketplace is sparse of proven candidates. There will be a lot of conversations on different ways to proceed for a franchise that reached Eastern semis for first time since 2018.
Yeah exactly bro it’s good that they get recognized for some of their stuff at least for example iverson with the crossover and Carter with his signature dunk package it’s a shame they never got a chip but I suppose that’s more of a problem with their team and coach because both of them were mvp caliber players in their primes
Both are good but I’d take gt 3 because lebrons are to heavy
Lebron 21s are as light as the 20s
imo
Yeah but my foot type isn’t great for lebrons in the first place and they just seemed heavy to me but I wear Giannis 5s so my comparison might be different
A Donovan Mitchell extension could affect Darius Garland's future.
If Mitchell signs, Klutch Sports' Rich Paul would speak with team officials on potentially finding a new home for Garland, sources tell @ShamsCharania, @joevardon and @ByJasonLloyd.
Nah I’m a sg/sf but I have wide feet I wore my friends lebron 20s that were really broken in but he told me it took him a while to get them to be comfortable
RIP the cavs I think we all know that Mitch is on his way out
depends on what you like tbh
Yeah I’m not gonna hate on lebrons they are a great shoe just not for me
Donovan Mitchell does stay CLE or move on trade?
The color ways are rly nice tho
Tbh the cavs need to get someone decent to help d Mitch
They just got him so he’s not gonna leave so quick
If he doesn’t get help he’s gonna fade away like Lebron
uh oh Okc is gonna comeback points
no.
Any body wanna play
Im watching right now on TV nba

Real

Nuggets-Timberwolves series update from @FDSportsbook with guard Mike Conley (calf) returning in Game 6 tonight with Denver up 3-2:

W highlight mixtapes but gross fit having 2 small guards
No. Next question
Damn In 7 Wolves!
Need 2
ahh aight,but is AE1 have good traction and durability on outdoor tho?
i love the timberwolves and the run they’ve been on but im scared for my life
jokic is gonna break my dreams and drop a 100 point triple double in game 7
im praying they lock jamal and mpj’s asses up and win the game
ag was the guy getting locked up
if he can't make 3s nuggets can't do much with their offense
wolves swap gobert to guard him and zone joker is a dead end
how's all that jumping and bouncing
if you only watch highlights and clips lebron is the goat
even surpassed mj long time ago
what in the world is that combination?
3D dimensional?
Highlights how has more championships and who keeps losing?
Lebron so in fairness Jordan was better
only second year mj can compete with lebron in clips
Clips
What about scoring who’s better
cuz there's no travel, flop, decisions, complaints, etc. in the clips
Exactly
Lebrons a crybaby
Jordan would get slapped and there would be no foul

If he is top FG misser and Turnover all time in NBA/ABA history having the best scoring record ever that mean he is the player who gives more chances for winning other team for stat chasing, so his plus minus is not real, is teh famous false boost💀
Is like someone who end a game with A+ with a lot of numbers but also he is the cause of losing...😕
Basketball is not about personal stats, this is not 1v1, even profesional NBA basketballl players don't undestand that

39 points is the most points scored in the 1st quarter of a Game 7 in the play-by-play era (1997-98).
#NBAPlayoffs presented by Google Pixel
The main reason Indiana is leading by 15 at half? The Pacers had the best shooting half in a playoff game in the last 25 years, per @ESPNStatsInfo, shooting 76 percent to surpass the Spurs in the first half of Game 3 of the 2014 NBA Finals against the Heat.
Halftime: Pacers 70, Knicks 55
Tyrese Haliburton has 16 and Pascal Siakam 15 for Indiana.
Per @ESPNStatsInfo, teams leading by at least 15 at half in a Game 7 are 20-0 all-time.
The Pacers 76.3 FG% is the highest in any half of a playoff game in the play-by-play era (1997-98)

I saw nuggets' strategy.
Coach Malone knows Murray can't stay for 4 quarters, so they let Murray make shots in the first quarter. 5/10 shots
And the mix using with Barun replacement Murray, they immediately stop the pick&roll to 3 pointer, instead they starts to attack the rim at the beginning of Q2.
Tim wolves didn't make the adjustments in the first 4 mins
Okay, Murray back
this guy got the script
Ah..
Towns, he needs to adjust himself, offensive foul like charge/block is in grey area.
But Towns directly grabs the defense play back, that's so obvious
Uh, the Timbers wolves twin towers can't protect rebounds from Jokic is wild.
NVM. Towns is not in the paint. He's out defense 3
ts sucks
Jokic
wolves do something PLEASEEEE
he boutta have 37-21-13
Let Ant play!!
If wolves is mainly relying on Towns' 1 on 1 offense, they are in serious trouble.
hes cold asl rn
1/9
😭
they might needa bench him rn ngl
Every time Ant gets doubled Ant's facial expressions looks like give up that possession
they keeo doubling him
wont let him cook
nd whwn they do doubke him the team lowk doesnt havw the vision to find the open guy
unless they find a solution rn
theyre cooked
More likely it's done.
.. Nuggets players are smart and Coach is smart.
They are playing slower pace now, because they know time is on their side.
wanted to see ant get his first ring
he wasn’t getting it anyway
I still remember in G5, Jokic is smart to burns 50 seconds in Q4
if we're being real whoever wins this is winning the chip
not gonna beat the Mavs lol
sure
Nuggets' lead is kind of hard to deal with, they know how to adjust..
This is why Jimmy Butler is MJs real son
yea im seeing ts too
15-1 run
nuggets getting cold rn
cmon ant
wtf
that was definitely goberts🤦🏾
they needa hit mcdaniels more hes hot rn ngl
