Minnesota #Timbs win their #playoffs series with Rudy Gobert going beast-mode and ending up with a triple double.

wow.

wait! since when you foul out with six fouls? i thought it used to be 4! is this an new #FIBA thing or an #NBA thing?

OMG SHAQ’S BACK-HANDED COMPLIMENT TO RUDY GOBERT WAS EVERYTHING

y’all wait and see: the year after Lebron James leaves the #Lakers they’re gonna win the championship

Luka Doncic playing with the #Lakers is unnatural

OMGOMGOMG this is the first #NBA game am watching this season and i am SHOOK seeing JJ Reddick working as the #Lakers coach. i totally forgot about him getting the job and i was NOT prepared.

love JJ. he is from the older Millennials that took the NBA, quietly, starting at about 2006 ―and became some of the most exciting new players in American basketball.

i’d venture say there’s a direct cohort line from JJ to Karl Korver to Steph Curry.

grock, i really missed #basketball
