Steve Kerr on Klay Thompson getting emotional Friday:

“Klay’s doing well. He did have a tough game. I think, in large part, that fans were back. It hit him hard.” 💔 https://t.co/PTc2PAzj9p

Awwww, poor Klay. I miss that guy. KD's recovery has me hopeful he can return to form.

same

nba is better with klay and he seems like a good dude + steph deserves a good team

Cuet

“Three weeks ago he wasn’t there, and I jokingly said I’ll have to do it again when he’s there. I meant it,” Tatum said. “He’s 98 percent of the time at every home game. So when I score a career high at a game like this, at center court watching, I’ll never forget him. We’ll be able to talk about it as he gets a little older.”

Though Tatum said he thinks Deuce is a little too young to understand exactly all that was at stake Friday night, he certainly could tell that his father was putting on an incredible show. Through the arduous journey with his own father, Jayson Tatum Sr. was able to give the gift of greatness to his son, up close, in front of the world.

gotta have the fans

you can tell theyre looking around for clay like "wheres clay"

courtside clay they call him

CC aka clay court

;)

Feel like the blazers have pretty solid vibes going into the offs

yah they’ve turned it around after a skid but I can’t tell you what changed. could be the series of really close losses was more of a flukey thing

one part of the recent blazer turnaround has been mccollum and nurkic working themselves back into game shape and sliding back into the flow of things

Jordan Clarkson said meant a lot to get the 6MoY award from Joe Ingles who he’s very close to. Said they drink so many beers together on off days should come out with their own beer. Said he might have to buy a house in Australia to post up on the beach and drink in the summer

what a great story. he's played basically everywhere overseas. he has an 11 year old and a 6 year old of his own and he's making an nba roster for the first time at age 28.

Awww! Such a moving interview. So happy for both of them.

Pels guard Jose Alvarado said Joel Embiid reached out and is going to cover his fine for the double tech they each picked up in Tuesday’s game.

thats sweet. that story from mike brown and his kids got me.

yeah that was lovely

Pop and penguins
Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan played three seasons in San Antonio, but he won't forget one film session when he and the Spurs got a life lesson Nat Geo-style.

"I remember Pop made us watch a penguin National Geographic movie. It was very interesting. It was basically learning about teamwork. How to come together as one and go after a common goal, whatever that goal was. I thought it was going to be a day where we watch film. But we watched a full penguin movie -- and it was the most interesting s---.

"How they migrate. How the males watch the eggs while the female goes out for X amount of months to go collect food. How they walk 60 miles to the water and 60 miles back while the males watch -- it was the most craziest s---. But everybody basically playing their role. But to look at it from the perspective of penguins, that's some Pop s---." -- Jamal Collier

Jason Kidd could have had several rings with the Spurs

he sounds really regretful in that story

v glad he never came here, fuck jason kidd

it feels telling that kidd never had any coaching experience (or even rumors of?) in SA

he's got "character" issues

lol he got handed a head coaching job right out of retirement

the famous PG-to-head coach pipeline (see: derek fisher, steve nash, doc rivers, magic johnson, etc.)

i looked up lenny wilkens on this too, had no idea he was a player-coach for like 4 years?? no wonder he had so many games as a coach
