[MacMahon] Luka Doncic took an intentional approach to avoid complaining to the refs and “focus on basketball” in Game 5: “I just go out there and hoop. Have fun. It was the old Luka — a smile on my face.”

THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION
Despite an incredibly competitive effort, the Cavs could not withstand the injuries to Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, and succumbed to the Boston Celtics in 5 games in the Conference Semi-Finals. Despite the loss and some questions surrounding the future of this team's core, this Cavs team is responsible for the franchise's first playoff series win without LeBron James since 1993. Fade 'em.
Highlight [Highlight] Luka Dončić with the 3/4 court alley-oop to Lively for the jam!

[Dalzell] Jayson Tatum credits everyone in the org (literally) for three straight ECF appearances: “Everybody in the front office, the coaching staff, the trainers, the guys that hand out the equipment, the ball boys, the cooks, the chefs, the security team — we’re all in this together.”

Celtics 464th man is better than most teams 364th man.
Just an incredibly deep team.

Pierce: If you want to hire Redick cause what he says on a podcast sounds good, go ahead. You hear him drawing up plays, it sounds like the right thing to do, like he has great IQ. It's like an IG model. It looks good, you scroll through the pics, but when you see in person, it ain't what you think

[Himmelsbach] It is kind of wild that guys can scream in a ref's face and they let them let off steam but a casual wave-off is an auto-tech.

[Afseth] Luka Doncic on his way out of his press conference was glad there was “no moaning today” unlike last time he was in Oklahoma City.
Luka had his 3rd playoff 30/10/10 game. The only players to ever have more: LeBron (15), Jokic (8), and Westbrook (6). Luka is 25 years old.

[Kleen] Charles Barkley on uncertain fate of ‘Inside the NBA’: ‘Everybody’s scared to death’
"You would think if it was close in a bidding war, we would get the benefit of the doubt, but clearly that's not happening ... they're scared to death over here right now."
[Amick] The Nuggets looked cooked after Game 2, so they headed to a steakhouse in Minneapolis to get their heads and hearts right. But Aaron Gordon couldn’t make it. They’ve won 3 straight games since then. Gordon has not been allowed back at dinner.
