SGA crying while shooting the flagrant free throws and during the post-game interview… 😭
Shai, IHart, McCain, freaking Caruso, Ajay, Chet all in tears man Life is just completely sucked out of the building

None of the last 20 NBA MVP winners have had even one game during their MVP season where they shot worse than 20% from the field. Not a single one. Wemby was 1-for-13 (7.7%) tonight… Did he eliminate himself from the MVP conversation after one game?! 🤔

For a second, I thought this was Brad Dalke (@DalkeKong3) & something had gone very, VERY wrong at the @RocketClassic…
David Cifaldi hiked roughly 10 miles (16 km) down Montana’s tallest mountain, Granite Peak, with a trekking pole piercing through his torso to avoid a massive air ambulance bill.

For those not familiar with Jaylin Williams… Out of 142 NBA players with 150+ 3PA from January 1st through the end of the regular season, JWill ranked SECOND in 3PT% (0.442, 68-154). The only player higher was Ayo Dosunmu (0.451, 78-173).
Jaylin Williams is one hell of a role player. Dude is so tough, hits 3s, makes smart passes. Has everything you want off the bench. Just a dawg. Not a guy that gets a ton of credit but I just think he's so good and worth giving some love to.

This didn’t get talked about much during the broadcast (or even get a replay) because of the shooting foul on SGA that happened the same time… but add it to the highlight reel of questionable Wemby plays from this series.

Lakers FT differential since 2019-20: +1,941 ZERO of the 29 other NBA teams are +1,000 in that span… and only 9 teams are even +500. (OKC is +64, btw.) Truly hilarious that they have the audacity to complain about another team getting a favorable whistle.
Lakers free throw differential since 2022: 2022: 1st 2023: 1st 2024: 2nd 2025: 1st Don’t tell me yall crying about the whistles now

Fun fact: you can change the “since [year]” in the search to any season & the answer is ALWAYS the Lakers. Even if you include all of NBA history… it’s STILL the Lakers. Most favorable whistle of any franchise ever. Literally. They’re +69,430. Only 11 teams are +10,000. 😂

Phenomenal exchange to end the postgame interview on @PrimeVideo… BLAKE GRIFFIN: “They didn’t sell high enough!” JARED McCAIN: *laughs* “Shoutout Philly!”

I’m legitimately beginning to believe that AI doesn’t know who Jalen Williams is. This is at least the 4th or 5th AI slop OKC Thunder team image I’ve seen that replaces him with some totally random person…
Which team would win in a 7-game series? 2018 Warriors without the 3-point line or 2026 Thunder without free throws

Not only have the Thunder held off the Spurs since the All-Star Break, but they’ve done it with a significantly harder schedule. vs current Top 4 seeds: OKC 9-2 SAS 3-3 vs current Top 6 seeds: OKC 11-2 SAS 5-3 vs play-in / non-playoff teams: OKC 11-0 SAS 18-0
For all their hype, for all their greatness, for all their wins, the Spurs have not gained a single game on the Thunder since February 7th. Heisman-level stiff-arm from the Thunder to end this season. The Thunder went 17-2 against playoff and play-in teams over this span.

This made me want to look deeper into the numbers… If you set the minimum rounds to 40, these are the Top 5 all-time in Masters scoring avg: Spieth - 70.977 (44 rounds) Tiger - 71.300 (100 rounds) Phil - 71.442 (120 rounds) Rory - 71.452 (62 rounds) Rickie - 71.642 (42 rounds)
Masters stat of the day. Phil career scoring average: 71.442 Rory career scoring average: 71.452 Fitting that they have basically the exact same score in 182 combined rounds at ANGC (Phil: 120, Rory: 62) because they are having basically the same careers as well.

Obviously, the more rounds someone plays, the harder it is to keep the average low. And plenty of great older guys had their average increase late in their career when they weren’t competitive but played just because they could… Still an incredible number for Rickie, though!

JWILL APPRECIATION POST: In the four games he’s played this season without Chet Holmgren OR Isaiah Hartenstein available, Jaylin Williams is averaging: 37.0 MIN 23.0 PTS 12.3 REB 3.8 AST 1.3 BLK 7.0-13.3 FG (.528) 4.8-9.5 3P (.500) 4.3-4.8 FT (.895) #OKCThunder #ThunderUp

It would obviously be hard for him to put up those numbers EVERY night, but for a small sample they’re incredible. Over the last 10 years, the only centers to average 20+ PTS, 10+ REB, 3+ AST & >0.350 3P% are: Jokic (5x) KAT (4x) Embiid (2x) Cousins (2x) Vucevic (2x) Wemby (1x)

Anyone else suddenly have an urge to play Galaga?! 😂

Fun fact: San Antonio is literally the only team in NBA history to never have a single lottery pick move down from its pre-lottery position. They've had 10 lottery picks since 1987, and SIX of them have moved up (including three #1 picks). Luckiest franchise in the NBA!
Adam Silver built a helluva team in San Antonio gotta give him props
