I watched Game 2 with some Timberwolves die-hards. There was no bitterness. No wallowing. Just unbridled happiness for one of their own: Karl-Anthony Towns. (Free read) nytimes.com/athletic/7337708…

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Yep.

Anthony Edwards after Winning a game vs the OKC Thunder during the 2023-24 Season: “Cheating A** refs.” “Imma take the fine cuz the refs did not give us no calls tonight.” Wolves have rightfully called this out for 2 years but the league wants to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Just an absolute JOKE @anthonyedwards didn’t get a waver to be eligible for @NBA honors this year. Anthony epitomizes WANTING to play. Doing what it takes to play. He doesn’t take “personal “ days. He shows up. He brings it. He missed some for injury. He didn’t miss 4 convenience

Ya whatever ant at 100% beats the spurs

Wemby with an INSANE flop 😭

Congrats @WembysCastle fans. You have a lot of talent: but until Wemby can learn the physicality of the NBA you’ll be just as hated as the OKC thunder, #sorry

Anthony Edwards is expected to absorb an absurd amount of physicality simply because of his strength and tenacity. He’s being treated like he can lift ten to fifty times his bodyweight like an actual ant, when he’s a human being. This needs to change.

Ant drove 20 times last game and shot 8 free throws off of it. Hes clearly getting hacked with no whistle. Im assuming he’s going to shiv Stephon Castle next game. He must protect himself.

Wemby is tied for second in total fouls drawn during this postseason If only the refs blew the whistle for him more often, then he wouldn’t have had to try to kill Naz Reid

Spurs fans.. yall got til 5PM tonight to wrap this bullshit up 😂

Can we all agree?

Kornet is very underrated btw

Hats off to the spurs. They didn’t fold when they could have. Game 4 for the season. Wemby is psycho. Castle sucks. Harper is legit. Fox was excellent.

I wish the Amazon Prime broadcast was only Kevin Harlan.

I am hearing, despite all this, that Game 3 will in fact start with a score of 0-0

SGA is so bad for the league. Absolutely embarrassing

When asked about Victor Wembanyama's 12 blocks in Game 1, Chris Finch said that at least 4 of the 12 were goaltends, and that it was "alarming" that Wembanyama wasn't called for a single goaltend. "When we looked at em, at least four of them were goaltending... To me, it's a little alarming that none of them were called. Here's a generational shot blocker, who is 7'6", who goes after everything, and there's no heightened awareness that these blocks could be goaltends... So let's just say there were four, that's eight points. You know the value of eight points in an NBA game? It's massive. That's also 33% of his blocks were goaltending uncalled. If I were to give you a 33% raise, you'd like that, right?"
