They are all going to be lining up for some post-game Gradey now. Nassir Little, Kevin Love and, (biting tongue)….Shaedon Sharpe!
Myles Turner and Trae Young might be above this sort of thing, but maybe DeAndre Hunter, Joshua Primo, Terance Mann or Andrew Funk can be called into action.
If only Shake Milton went by his first name on his jersey.
It was a great play that DAL ran - Gordon basically got picked by both Hardaway and Jamaal Murray plus Luka was at something like 27'. Gordon has to pay attention to Kyrie cutting and then Luka moves at just the right time to muck up Gordon's line to him. Hats off to Kidd/staff.

Fantastic!! Having said that, i would squirm uncomfortably if Primo was involved knowing his locker room history. It brings back Aaron Hernandez thoughts which is never good.
heat lose in Philly and will now be in 8th place in the east. you'd hate to see them lose a play in game.
The Johnson dunk is nice but you see that every week or so. The ANT dunk is Vince / MJ stuff.
This insistence that Davis is playing up an injury to his eye is just weird. Have you never got your eye scratched, been poked in the eye or just got something stuck in your eye? Not being able to see makes it tough to play for a bit of time.. but the eye heals.
This is absolutely true, but Anthony Davis is the NBA version of Ben Roethlisberger. Dude suffers a season ending injury every other week, what a hero he is for gutting it out.
Yeah for like 99% of the players in this league a scratched cornea that is going to be something they sit you for rest of game then return a day or two later.
I think this can be said of his entire career, but this year he's played a lot.. as was mentioned in the first response to someone saying he was being a baby for not playing after his cornea got scratched.
Averaging 42.8 mpg since the all-star break. No one else is averaging 40+ over that stretch.
Hart had no triple doubles in his career before January 30, tonight was his 5th.
Deuce McBride was the difference though, outscoring Curry 13-0 in the 1st while guarding him, and GS never really threatened NY's lead the rest of the way. McBride ended up with 29 to Curry's 27, far and away the best game of his life. Also he played the entire first half and sat for just 90 seconds in the second half despite chasing Curry all over the floor, 47 minutes played officially.
Brunson is rarely the guy you'd pick as the best player on the floor (for both teams) before the game, but he is very often the best player in the actual game. NY has so little offensive firepower with Randle and Anunoby out, Quickley traded, Bogdanovic and Burks terrible, that teams double team Brunson well beyond the three point line on almost every possession and still he is averaging just over 40 in the past three games (@POR, @SAC, @GS).

With the back of his opened pinkie and 4th finger, sure. See 0:07-0:08 of the second/lower tweet in ifmanis's post.
If Collins doesn't want that, don't stand in the restricted area when a guy jumps.
Have to give Collins credit for staying in there. Granted it wasn't a charge, so probably would have been better off either getting out of the way or just grabbing Edwards' arms, but still...takes some moxie to attempt to hold the line and Collins hasn't been a guy known for that. (tl;dr: always feel more sorry for the posterized than impressed by the posterize-r.).
Spurs color commentator is former player Sean Elliot who takes the time during a replay to highlight not only a Jeremy Sochan bucket but Luka essentially showing no effort on D. The next play down the floor Luka's man blows by him again.
He is indeed a turnstile.

I thought Elliot was excellent on Russillo's pod talking about the Spurs, but specifically about watching Wembanyama day in and day out.
Good in-game analyst too
He is out of position a lot on D. You are right about the effort level though.
This game is kind of fun.
Long-form article on Fultz, including his version of what happened in PHI. Worth a read.
