Charles Barkley isn’t just a great ball breaker with excellent comedic timing but he’s become the voice of reason as well.

Crazy how that works, right. Resting players only became a thing within the last 10 years. And it’s mostly media and fans who push it.

Coincidentally, opposing coaches always complained that Michael Jordan was playing way too many minutes during the playoffs. Sorry, but those six titles are tainted.

Hey Robert, I’ll use winning as a metric to define success. You can use minutes.

Breaking: Rick Carlisle is also advocating for Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Donte, OG & Hartenstein to all play fewer minutes.

Who are the guys on the Knicks bench who aren’t getting minutes but should? Kevin McHale? Manu? Robert Horry? Lou Williams?
You do realize their current starters were the backups? #learntheleague

For whatever reason T. J. McConnell has been a sneaky Knicks killer. He once recorded a triple double against them….off the bench.

Pat Riley’s annual end of season/state of the Miami Heat address never disappoints.

I think the plan is to have the Kentucky Derby telecast end just as the Paris Olympics are starting.

But, but….wait until she gets to the WNBA.

You getting a cut? (See you at Game 2)

If the Sixers didn’t want this to turn into a Knicks home game why did they allow the Knicks to wear their traditional home whites?

Forget the fans, Sixers ownership should have pleaded for their players to show up.

Micah Nori coached Nikola Jokić during his time coaching the Nuggets Summer League team. Hear what gif Jokić still sends to him 🤣🤣

I think fouling is usually the better option but Maxey having just converted a four-point play likely factored into the decision.

That’s right. They wore black for a funeral…that was delayed for a couple of days.

Have to give Joel Embiid credit for a clutch bounce back performance. Of course, those 48 minutes he played tonight may have an impact on Game 6.

This is reminiscent of the Knicks losing Game 5 to the Celtics back in 2013. Favored to clinch at home but instead ended the series two days later in Boston. Coincidentally, the Knicks second round opponent was Indiana.

“Somebody gonna say - what about Patrick and Carmelo? Ok, they didn’t do this”
