TNT broadcasters just asked: Will Nikola Jokic be suspended for Game 5? Team execs are wondering this too since the rule book says a player should be ejected for entering the stands. Jokic technically just went courtside so there’s room for interpretation. We’ll find out Monday.

I watched every block by Jaren Jackson Jr. in slow motion from alternate angles to investigate the NBA Reddit thread claiming the Grizzlies scorekeeper is "posting fraudulent numbers." But only 3 of his 66 home blocks are incorrectly labeled, a completely insignificant amount.

The ball was DEFINITELY loose. I don't see how the referees grant a timeout here.

The Celtics have broken the Kings, who are once again proving to be far too small. Not enough size, particularly with help defense. And not enough rebounding. Bad sign to lose like this against Boston on the second night of a road back-to-back without two of its best players. It should be obvious at this point the Kings are a great regular season team but not equipped to win against NBA Finals contenders, which Sacramento won't be without making a big move.

If “everything’s on the table” other than Steph Curry as Brian Windhorst reports here, then “everything “ means Draymond Green is also on the table. And if Draymond is movable, his $24M salary opens A LOT of creative options for the Warriors. Buckle up!

The Heat played incredible defense to force the Bucks to run out the clock in overtime. 1. Butler mirroring Giannis' drive left 2. Martin and Strus containing Middleton's drive 3. Vincent closing out to Allen 4. Strus rotating to Holiday 5. Highsmith deterring Allen's drive This lineup played a grand total of zero minutes together all season long, yet they were connected on a string in the closing moments. Amazing. Miami deserved to advance.

Draymond Green said if Wemby did to Steph what he did to Brunson in Game 3…he would’ve been thrown out. “He pushed him down and none of the guys on the Knicks team did anything. Don’t not for one second think that didn’t matter.”

Semi-bold prediction: The Celtics win more games than they had last year and get the East #1 seed. Chris Vernon thinks that's ridiculous.

SGA's true shooting fell from 68% against the Suns to 58% against the Lakers to 55% against the Spurs last postseason. Playing more off the ball could mean easier shots for Shai, more energy deep into the playoffs, and more room for OKC's younger guys to develop.

Darryn Peterson says he didn’t watch much basketball when he was a kid, and it was hard to watch full playoff games this year because he just got a new puppy. But he says he’s a film junkie and studies opponent tendencies.

John Mayer really might be the GOAT. He’s a complete guitarist who has never stopped improving despite decades of success. An incredible singer. A sensational songwriter. The total package. This new spin on his classic “Gravity” gets me fired up for his next album.

Anthony Edwards has attempted 90 total shots with 53 of them coming behind the arc. That’s a 3-point rate of 58.9 percent. Higher than James Harden ever had.

Darryn Peterson's high school playmaking tells a different story than his year at Kansas. Peterson had 38 assists and 38 turnovers in college, which is not the line you expect from a potential franchise lead guard. Part of it was his off-ball usage. Part of it was a Kansas roster that didn't shoot well. But DP averaged 5.3 assists as a senior at Prolific Prep, and had the ball in his hands the majority of the time. He delivered bounce passes into the paint, whipped cross-court skip passes, and looked the part of a point guard with far more explosiveness off the dribble. If that burst returns in the NBA, he could become an excellent shot-creator. These highlights are a glimpse of it.

Do the Celtics need to add more of a variety to their half court offense? That's what @JoonLee is hoping to see this season instead of all 3s and layups.

Feels like I’m living in the future in the Cybercab. It’s hard to believe a car with no steering wheel or pedals is actually real, but it’s less a car and more of a robot on four wheels.

Calvin Booth believes four factors converged to cost him his job with Denver. First, the Nikola Jokic effect: when you have the best player in the world, everything else gets taken for granted. Second, the friction between a tenured champion coach and a first-time GM. Third, ownership. Booth believes the Kroenke family, for all its success across sports, doesn’t place the same value on front-office executives that other organizations do. And fourth: “I think I just made it look too easy.” He elaborated: “Anybody that’s really good at something, when they make it look easy, that was really, really hard to get to. [It took] a lifetime’s worth of playing basketball, coaching basketball, having conversations, scouting, for me to go in there right away, assemble a championship team, win a championship.” My full conversation with Booth goes deeper into his time with the Denver Nuggets, Jokic, his basketball philosophy, the upcoming draft, and many more subjects. Check it out on the latest episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show.
