VIDEO: Earlier in the season Jalen Williams said OKC would beat the 2017 Warriors and the 1996 Bulls.
Today OKC players are booking their trip to Cancun.
Life comes at you fast.
This was Chris Finch 2 years ago, before OKC won anything.
Instead of the league doing anything about it then, the entire team has evolved into untouchable floppers.
Media heads are now all repeating the same PR propaganda acting like we’re all blind.
Shaimeless league.
it’s kind of crazy how there’s like 10 clips of okc getting fouls called on flops tonight while also 10 more clips of hartenstein hooking and fouling wemby with no call.
they wonder why the 29 other fanbases in the league can’t stand this team.
Update: it got worse.
OKC is now +35.6 per 100 better with Shai OFF this playoff run.
Last time I heard: “small sample,” “it’s Phoenix,” “it’s the Lakers.”
Spurs added. Number got even uglier.
Now what?
Active playoff players with the LOWEST net on/off rating during the playoffs (minimum 25 MPG):
— Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (-22.7)
— Max Strus (-14.2)
— Evan Mobley (-12.3)

Altuve was the face of the 2017 Astros. He sat in that clubhouse every night, watched teammates bang trash cans, won an MVP and a ring off the back of it and said nothing. For years. Not until reporters dragged it into the light.
“Innocent” is a word you use for a kid who didn’t know what was happening.
Altuve knew. He profited. He stayed quiet. Altuve let the entire sport eat the consequences while he kept the trophies.
I don’t think he gets enough criticism for it. He’s still likely to get into the HOF. I don’t think any player, manager or coach from the 2017 Astros should be allowed to even buy a ticket to the HOF, let alone get inducted into it.
