i know it sounds kinda stupid. but regardless of how simple it is you have to embody being a delusional optimist. you’ll open unexpected new doors and effortlessly 10x your quality of life. there’s no reason to be a self sabotaging pessimist.
-Down your 2nd option and your primary ball handler
-Been garbage majority of the series
-Entire world against you

In a strange turn of events… I think I’m rooting for OKC tonight. I just can’t get behind all of the incorrect and unfair narratives that are being directed at OKC.
All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.
Tim Legler says people just need to accept the fact that OKC wins games because they’re a better team, not flopping:
“I know a lot of people want to make it about the whistle every time Oklahoma City plays because they hate Oklahoma City, whatever. To me, this game was not about the whistle. It was about the fact that Oklahoma City had more guys step up and raise the bar that needed to on a given night.”
