Becky Hammon on sitting stars on back-to-back: "Everybody has a brutal schedule at some point. I don't even think they do this in the NBA though, where it's less than 24 hours. You can check, and I'm pretty sure that's not even legal on the NBA side. You'd have to look it up, but I don't recall. With the time change, it ends up being that. But we're going to always err on the side of health and safety for our players. Not going to put them in any kind of jeopardy to get hurt when we've been expending a lot of energy and traveling a lot of miles back and forth, crisscrossing the country. So it is what it is. I know these are big matchups, and these are what people want to see. But you should ensure that it's fair." (Q: @DougFeinberg)

Needed a proper celebration for the rook 🥳💦
In her Aces debut, @justinepissott recorded 19 points, going 5-6 from beyond the arc! 👏

Hold on! Brian Wright wasn’t done.
According to Shams Charania, the Spurs acquired the No. 26 pick from Denver for the No. 35 pick and two future second-rounders, then used it on UConn center Tarris Reed Jr.
At 6-foot-10 and 260 pounds, Reed brings exactly what Spurs fans have been asking for: size, rebounding, physicality, and interior defense.
After selecting Jayden Quaintance at No. 20, San Antonio doubles down on frontcourt depth around Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs clearly heard the concerns about getting bigger.

Spurs Victor Wembanyama on what did he learn it is to win the finals against the Knicks:
"I learned one of many things is the margin of error is very, very thin... we absolutely dominated for most of the series.. but our errors, or mistakes are punished so hard.. that we can't have so many ups and downs..the ups are ok, but the downs are the reason we lost."

Charles Barkley at halftime of Game 5:
"I hate to say this... [Mitch Johnson] has gotta go with Castle and Harper. He's got to take Fox out of the game ... If you're coach Johnson, you can't be worrying about people's feelings out here."

Fouls last night:
Knicks 23
Spurs 21
Yet all we hear today is about the officiating because Victor shoved Brunson off of him with his hand ( singular — not hands), after Brunson was tugging on his jersey.
Knicks fans and ESPN are the worst.

Jeremy Lin heavily criticized Mitch Johnson and the Spurs’ fourth-quarter offense in Game 1, questioning the heavy reliance on Wemby isolations and the team's rotation choices:
"The focus for sure is the second half where they were minus-17, but specifically even in the fourth quarter, I didn't love the late-game offensive game plan. It was too much Wemby ISO. It just seemed like everything was difficult, everything was hard, everything was contested. Can we get him in more spontaneous, impulsive actions? Can we get him in some pin-downs? Can he set more screens? Can guards come set screens for him? It felt like every time down the floor they were giving him the ball, and KAT was doing a great job of playing defense, and Wemby was tired. So how are they able to create different actions so that the Knicks aren't seeing the same thing every single time? Another piece that's really important is Keldon Johnson, who played only eight minutes. Sixth Man of the Year, a lot of minutes went to Harrison Barnes. I'm not sure what's happening there, but there is going to be a different level of production that needs to be had from other players stepping in. Dylan Harper obviously had an amazing game, but we need the Keldon Johnsons and obviously De'Aaron Fox to be able to step up. I do think there's a lot to be said for in terms of how big that moment was for the Spurs."
