SGA noted that OKC “needs Chet.” Asked about his conversations with Holmgren after the series, if they’ll talk about his approach to the summer:
“I haven’t talked to Chet about that. I won’t. I don’t feel like I need to. I didn’t perform my greatest this series either. Chet won’t come to me with a development for the summer, you know? Chet knows how much I care about this game. I know how much Chet loves this game. … he’s going to be a better player because of his make-up, his talent. I don’t need to umbrella Chet. He’ll figure it out.”
Mark Daigneault on playing most of the series without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell:
"We have not been an excuse team ever and we're not gonna start now."
"If we were taking the most available excuse at any point, we wouldn't be here."
OKC has actually never won fair and square. They've only ever won because of the handful of calls you noticed not because you're hyper-focused on it to a degree that borders on deranged but because you are a neutral, all-seeing arbiter of justice who sees the truth. Stay vigilant
It's not that I don't appreciate Tom's work here, nor even that I find it uninteresting, but SGA's fall count emerging as the single most discussed topic of these Conference Finals is insane; the appetite for this discourse is astonishing. And ofc a lot of these aren't even flops
"If I come in here and say I want to win Rookie of the Year, Matthew Stafford just won the MVP... that's going to be a fail."
