NBA|木狼狠批勇士打法粗暴 教練:「若球證唔主持公道,我哋還拖!」
明尼蘇達木狼教練芬治(Chris Finch)對主場鬥勇士的第一回合判決極不滿意,並揚言如果裁判繼續偏幫對手,球隊將會「自行主持公道」。
「如果有機會,我哋一定會自己主持公道,這本來就係身體對抗運動的本質,」芬治接受訪時表示說:「勇士當自己打美式足球,成日出手推撞!」
木狼在主場以88比99不敵金州勇士,儘管勇士王牌史提芬居里於上半場拉傷腿筋退下火線,仍憑強勢開局奠定勝局。據報居里至少需休戰一星期。
木狼開局災難,半場僅得31分,三分球更15投0中。球星「蟻人」安東尼·愛華特斯(Anthony Edwards)半場只得一分,亦因此遭芬治猛烈批評。

芬治的「公道論」並非唯一批評裁判的聲音,勇士教練科爾(Steve Kerr)亦表示:「我準備自己剪片投訴畀聯盟。芬治有佢嘅投訴,我亦有我的。」
系列賽G2將於香港時間周五在木狼主場進行。若按芬治的言論,下一場不是裁判收緊判決,就是木狼「出手還拖」,氣氛勢必火藥味濃。

NBA working on plan for US-vs.-world format at All-Star Game next season, AP source says
Silver addressed the idea on March 27 as well at the league's most recent board of governors meeting, when he revealed that the NBA was scrapping the All-Star mini-tournament format that was used this season. At that time, the AP reported that the 2026 game — to be played Feb. 15 in Inglewood, Calif., just past the midpoint of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics — will be moved from its traditional prime-time Sunday night slot to one that starts on Sunday afternoon. That's happening because the game will be aired on NBC under the terms of the new 11-year media rights deals that kick in next season. NBC is also the Olympic broadcaster in the US. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up So, NBC could show Olympic events in the morning and early afternoon, then the All-Star Game, then have prime-time Olympic programming. Related : Advertisement The move comes on the heels of a popular tournament, the 4 Nations Face-off, that essentially took the place of the NHL All-Star Game this year, as well as strong competition at the Paris Olympics, where the Americans won a fifth consecutive gold medal by rallying past Nikola Jokic and Serbia in the semifinals, then topping host France and Victor Wembanyama in the title game — Advertisement 'What better time to feature some form of USA against the world?' Silver said on FS1. 'I'm not exactly sure what the format will be yet. I obviously paid a lot of attention to what the NHL did, which was a huge success. . . . But also, going back, last summer, our Olympic competition was a huge success.' There is one big challenge regarding any US-vs.-world format. About 70 percent of NBA players are American, while 30 percent are international, so it would in theory be easier for an international player to make the All-Star team — if the rosters are the same size. International players, when asked at this year's All-Star Game if they would want a US-vs.-world matchup, sounded enthusiastic. 'I would love to. My opinion is that it's more purposeful,' Wembanyama said back in February. 'There's more pride in it. More stakes.' Added Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's from Greece: 'I would love that. Oh, I would love that. I think that would be the most interesting and most exciting format. I would love that. For sure, I'd take pride in that. I always compete, but I think that will give me a little bit more extra juice to compete.' The Advertisement The

Mark Daigneault reveals Thunder's no-expectation ‘process' before NBA Finals
The post Mark Daigneault reveals Thunder's no-expectation 'process' before NBA Finals appeared first on ClutchPoints. OKLAHOMA CITY — Four wins from an NBA title, head coach Mark Daigneault and the Oklahoma City Thunder navigated the 2024-25 campaign without expectations. Daigneault's meticulous approach forces his team to focus on what's in front of them, one play, quarter, half, and game at a time, rather than looking ahead or setting benchmarks. For the first time in 13 years, the Thunder have reached the NBA Finals. Advertisement In his first media availability since clinching the Western Conference Finals, Daigneault addressed the Thunder's approach throughout the season. 'I try not to operate with any expectations, just do my best every day, help everybody else do their best every day, and see where that lands us, and be comfortable with it,' Daigneault said. 'What we've learned is when you do that and repeat that process, it can take you great places, and this is a great opportunity for us. But what makes it great every day is simple: it's the people, starting with our players. These are guys with unbelievable makeups. 'They come from awesome circles. They have unbelievable stories. And they bring an authentic and genuine sense of self to the gym every day that creates positive momentum, and it's just a joy to be around,' Daigneault concluded. Relating to his words from the Western Conference Finals championship trophy ceremony, Daigneault reiterated what he said about his team during his speech. Advertisement 'I meant everything I said the other night,' Daigneault added. 'This is a great accomplishment/opportunity for us, but I want the season to keep going. There's not a part of me that wants this to end. I just want to keep coaching this team because of how much of a joy it is to be around these group of guys every day. I probably speak for everybody when I say that. There's just a great energy to our gym every day, regardless of what's going on in our season. As much success as we've had, it still feels like that after we lose a game.' Mark Daigneault calls Thunder players 'idiots' during WCF speech Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault assessed his team on national TV, calling them 'idiots' amid some of the kindest words a coach can say about his players. For Daigenault, it best encapsulated the character of this year's Thunder team, which approached the campaign without zero expectations but instead focused on how to improve as a squad. Advertisement 'These guys are uncommon. They do everything right,' Daigneault declared. 'They're high character, they're idiots, they're competitive, and most of all, they're team-first, and embody everything it means to be a team.' The Thunder will host Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 5.

Mark Daigneault says Sam Presti relationship influenced Thunder success
The post Mark Daigneault says Sam Presti relationship influenced Thunder success appeared first on ClutchPoints. OKLAHOMA CITY — After coaching the Oklahoma City Blue, the organization's G League affiliate, for five seasons, GM Sam Presti named Mark Daigneault the Oklahoma City Thunder head coach. He joined Billy Donovan's coaching staff as an assistant before taking over. Then, four seasons later, Daigneault guided the Thunder to the NBA Finals, leading a 2024-25 team that some consider as the best in franchise history. Advertisement During his first media availability since beating the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, Daigneault reflected on his relationship with Presti and how smooth it's been since the very beginning of his NBA coaching career. 'When I started as the head coach, I already had six years in the organization. So, that's a six-plus-year relationship that we already had,' Daigneault said. 'He knew me very well. I knew him very well. We had seen each other over the course of a long period of time in a lot of different situations. So, there wasn't a relational feeling out process there. It was a continuation of an existing relationship that we already had — which the communication between those two positions is essential — and I think that comfort helped with that.' Daigneault has been in the NBA long enough to have seen that the relationship between a head coach and a team's GM isn't always smooth or a seamless fit as his bond with Thunder GM Sam Presti. 'A lot of those challenges come from philosophical differences,' Daigneault added. 'And I was like raised here in professional basketball. I didn't work anywhere else in pro basketball prior to coming here. I didn't know much about professional basketball before I came here. So, my entire philosophy in professional basketball was underneath the umbrella of the Thunder organization. So, our philosophical alignment is so tight because of that.'

Mark Daigneault reveals his no-expectation process for Thunder Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault operates without expectations for his team. It's been his approach throughout the 2024-25 campaign, which has led to the Thunder's 12-4 postseason record and their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012.
