Isaiah Hartenstein on signing with OKC: “When Sam Presti came to Eugene, Oregon, that was the first thing he said, ‘I can't promise you minutes, I can't promise you your role, but I can promise you a culture.’”
streamable.comJaylen Brown on Stephen A: "Tell this motherfucker to retire because he's the face of clickbait media. With his retirement we can spark a movement to get the rest of these motherfuckers out. Have some type of integrity in order to hold themselves accountable to the bullshit takes they put out."
streamable.comJaylen Brown: "Fuck Stephen A. You want me to be quiet and stop streaming, I want you to be quiet and get off these networks. You're not doing real journalism, you're using your platform to do clickbait."
streamable.comMyles Turner on the NBA refs: “The refs are like the police. If you fuck with one of them, you fuck with all of them. They band together, and it’s like, 'Nah, he’s not getting no calls.' If you go after a rookie ref or a female ref the veteran refs will step in and fuck you out of the game."
streamable.comDillon Brooks says Jarred Vanderbilt is a dumb NBA player: "I'm going to throw a shot. I can't even lie. This guy doesn't even like me, to be honest with you. Jared Vanderbilt. On the Lakers. He's like a rebounder, can't shoot. I just think he's got way more potential that he's not untapping."
streamable.comJ.B. Bickerstaff on James Harden: "He has an unbelievable ability to manipulate what the rules are. We would play 1 on 1 when I coached in Houston and he would foul bait me."
streamable.comQuinn Cook : “I was just here thinking. I went to three straight NBA Finals. Was the leading scorer off the bench my two years in Golden State and really contributed. Barely played with the Lakers but won 2 rings in 3 years. I never was on a guaranteed contract after that .... My agent stunk."

Jaylen Brown: “I was inspired by LA’s Kobe Bryant. He inspired me not only to play basketball, but his thoughts and stuff he did off the court inspired me as well. Before he passed he was exploring starting his own brand, and giving athletes better percentages and deals.”
streamable.comCade on the no-call at the end of regulation: “We all saw the play, I think it’s pretty clear it was a foul. Ausar has the ball in his possession, he’s running forward, he gets tripped up. It’s a foul, it’s been a foul the whole rest of the game. Wasn’t a foul that time.”
streamable.comJ.B. Bickerstaff on the last play of regulation: "Jarrett Allen fouled Ausar. It's clear. He trips him when he's going for a loose ball. End of game situation, that's tough."
streamable.comAdam Silver: “In terms of tanking, there’s no question that what we saw this season was unprecedented. Fans in particular cities and even media were rooting for their teams to tank. We had to respond not just to the narrative but to misalignment of incentives once it was an accepted practice.”

streamable.comJ.B. Bickerstaff on the officiating: "It's interesting to see the difference on both sides of the ball. Watch when Duncan Robinson comes off screens and the amount of hands that are on him, and whistles aren't being blown. We'll send the clips to the league to see what it is."
streamable.comEmbiid on the 76ers future: “I don’t even know if I’m going to be here. Whatever happens, happens."
streamable.comTyrese Maxey on Knicks fans filling the arena: "It absolutely sucks, it's hard. We were better when we played them in the Garden this entire season. I was telling them, it felt louder here for them than it did in the Garden."
streamable.comKnicks vs 76ers was the 2nd most lopsided 2nd round series in NBA history
The Knicks outscored the 76ers by 89 points throughout the series. The record is held by 2010 Magic vs Hawks where the Magic had a +101 point differential.
The Sacramento Kings deserve better
The Kings weren't tanking this year, they were legitimately bad with a terribly constructed roster. Yet they only get the 7th pick despite having the 3rd worst record. The only top 3 pick they've recently had was Marvin Bagley. The refs also screwed them the one time they had a chance to win a championship. I feel bad for Kings fans.
The Cavs are 5-0 at home and 0-5 on the road this playoffs.
The Cavs lost 3 games at Toronto and 2 games in Detroit, and they all won all 5 in Cleveland. Crazy to see such a difference in play between playing on the road and at home. The Cavs are only 4-13 in road playoff games since 2023.
Will Embiid retire as the only MVP to never make the conference finals?
Embiid has made the 2nd round 6 times, but unless they can come back from 3-0 he’s going to be 0-6 in the 2nd round. I think this was his best chance to make a deep run because he’s only going to get older and more injury prone. His big contract keeps the 76ers from improving their team, and other teams wouldn’t want to trade for him.
