AROUND the NBA:

NBC averaged 7.2 million viewers for its return to the NBA Playoffs this season, up 72% vs. the comparable coverage last season. Going into the NBA Finals, nine of the top 10 (and 17 of the top 25) most-watched playoff games this season were on NBC. That’s led by Spurs-Thunder Game 7 in the Western Conference Finals on Saturday night, which drew 15.9 million viewers for the best NBA conference finals audience (East or West) since Warriors-Thunder in 2016.

Interesting... "I've talked with (Jalen Brunson's trainer)...they do this drill that he calls the Wemby that he like holds this gigantic broom to try to block his shots so that improves his arch. When he's going up against Wemby it's like a normal workout routine" - @MarkG_Medina

The defensive dogs for the Spurs are going all out tonight.  Let's see if the kids can do it for four quarters.

Castle with a dumb 3rd foul with 7+ left in the half.  As much as I hate to admit it, KAT has been great.

As much as I hate to admit it, KAT has been great.

Tough to believe, I know. He has been one of the very best and most impactful players throughout this entire postseason.
