    Final minute of Game 7. One point game. Two of the savviest players in history, Chris Paul and James Harden, both bet on the same move: the flop.

    Basketball Twitter you are entirely over the top, hyperbolic and possibly drunk. And I thank you for it from the bottom of my heart.

    Gregg Popovich: “McConnell has destroyed and degraded our judicial system. He has tried to destroy heath care. He’s destroyed the environment. He’s the master and Trump’s the stooge and what’s funny is that Trump doesn’t even know it.”

    "it’s more than just Trump. The system has to change. I’ll do whatever I can do to help because that’s what leaders do. But Trump can’t do anything to put us on a positive path because he’s not a leader." - Coach Pop thenation.com/article/societ…

    Replying to @KDTrey5
    This all looks like innocent internet fun until I see how many people appear to believe @Chris_Broussard manufactured the entire tale! I worked with Chris, we disagree on plenty. But no way do I believe he just made this up.

    Steve Kerr: "It's like, 'You've got to be kidding me.' It just has to stop. ... I don't know if it's related to five straight seasons of playing 100-plus games and all the wear and tear, but it's, it's devastating." The science says the schedule is a problem. The cost is absurd.

    Stephen Curry can run the Warriors to perfection by himself. X times a year. Doesn't need Kevin Durant--in any one game. But it's too much to ask Steph to be this 82 times a year plus playoffs. That's where KD matters. Steph is in killer mode today thanks to the games KD owned.

    "According to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Reports, Jokic has been on the wrong end of a bad call a league-leading 14 times this season. Twice as many as the second-most player." Really recommend this whole story and everything from @owenlhjphillips
