I only caught this today, but apparently some cat named Matt Ryan got into the April 10 Boston Celtics game.

Some noteworthy stats:
He became the 28th player to suit up for Boston this season.
He finished with 3 points.

You said my posts appear to be mainly focused on Jokic which is completely untrue but ok and I answered the question.
Yeah, your posts about what we were talking about (coaching), which is completely true, not literally all of your posts. That was a qualifier that you read into my post.

Considering how highly Pop thinks of her, I’m still amazed they let Becky get away.Pop on Becky: “She had to go. They had the draft … and camp’s gonna start. She’s gotta get ready. So it’s not a good thing for us. I don’t know how to say it — she’s been wonderful for a while. We just got used to her, doing what she does.”

I am convinced that the Spurs are the only NBA team that would have been willing to make Coach Hammon a head coach in the NBA, without any prior head coaching experience. My conspiracy theory is that she and the Spurs had a "handshake" agreement to promote her, when Pop retired, and Pop had indicated that he was going to retire on X date, but then unexpectedly changed his mind, and reneged. So she got frustrated, and decided to accept a head coaching job elsewhere. What I'm curious about is whether a stint as the head coach in Austin would have changed anyone's opinion? Because it didn't seem to do much for Nancy Lieberman.

Tristan Thompson says he’s challenging Nikola Vucevic to be the ‘best big in the series’ vs. the Milwaukee Bucks: https://t.co/lGqRYKTDT9

Bulls about to get blown the eff out thanks to TT lol
I just hope he spoke to Vucevic directly about this "challenge," before he spoke to whatever the hell blog this is.
I hope Bill Walton is not calling the game, because if he is, having the two of them in the same room might cause the universe to collapse in on itself.

Admittedly 'super stubborn,’ James Bouknight was retrospective on his first season with the #Hornets in an exclusive with @theobserver.
— Rod Boone (@rodboone) April 20, 2022
He also addressed the incident at UConn and whether he wants to be back in Charlotte next season.https://t.co/cYehM2fHm4
Things seem to be going great in Charlotte

Jazz changing their uniforms yet again. Feels like they’ve done this every two or three years since Jerry Sloan retired.The Jazz are changing their colors to black, white, and yellow next season. Not sure about the fate of the City Edition uniforms they are wearing tonight. This is what has leaked so far re next season's new look. pic.twitter.com/Sy2NPRXkBt

Charlotte is dismissing coach James Borrego, sources tell ESPN.

Surprising move in Charlotte, where Hornets improved by 10 victories in each of the past three seasons. Charlotte reached the Play-In Tournament in consecutive seasons too. https://t.co/h7gthyzX3C

Maybe I’m just a hater but doesn’t giving MIP to the former 2nd overall pick sorta defeat the purpose of this award?The 2021-22 Kia NBA Most Improved Player is Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant! pic.twitter.com/XNLdPFQwFe

Yeah this is lame. Ja is supposed to get better lol. And the guy won ROY, so it's not like he had 2 sub-par years or anything and just broke out in an insane way in year 3. It's been a pretty linear production upwards for him. Same with Garland. And while Murray doesn't have the same draft pedigree, everyone knew it was just a matter if he could stay healthy to put it all together. All the tools have been there for years.
The award should have been a landslide for Bane. Dude went from a solid rotation player as a rookie to a full blown starter and one of the best shooters and has shown he can be a quality #2 scorer with his workload increase. Especially in a season where Ja missed a bunch of time, Bane was a huge reason they had such an impressive record with him out.
