100%. This is why I can’t get behind the SGA hate whatsoever. He falls sometimes. Ok, who cares? That in & of itself isn’t a problem. He never ever complains & has an awesome attitude. Great role model for young players
Sam Presti says SGA doesn’t seek foul calls with poor behavior
“All NBA players do is complain, bitch and moan and try to intimidate the officials with bad behavior in the games to give foul calls. He's gotten three technical fouls this year. None for complaining. One for waving a towel in support of someone that hit a shot that doesn't play very often. Okay. So he's not doing that.”

It is legitimate insanity how every roster James Harden is on completely takes on his careless giving up identity when it gets hard for a second in any playoff game ever
NBA playoff series are so funny with the “sky is falling” media narratives after each game. The Thunder just smacked San Antonio on Friday with no Ajay or J Dub, but now Shai is suddenly the only one on the team who knows how to play offense. They shot 6/33 from 3, that’s it
I don’t know if this was made by a boomer or a Brit but no American under the age of 65 has ever used WHIT or JOT to refer to a small quantity nor have they ever used TIA as a texting abbreviation (still don’t know what that’s supposed to mean) so yeah y’all have LOST THE PLOT
@jkylemann Darius Acuff wouldn’t see the floor for either team. That’s why I’m low on him; his ceiling to me is 25 ppg heliocentric top dog on a play-in team, a la Trae / Dame / Spida. Great possibilities with all due respect, but if the goal is to win a championship I’m not touching him
@balldontstop I mean yes but like shooting 6/33 on mostly open 3’s is an anomaly. It’s hard to score for any team when you shoot 6/33 from 3. Their “lack of creation” wasn’t a problem on Friday when they shot 45% from 3 without J Dub or (basically) Ajay. Make-or-miss league
I think Wemby has oscillated each game between “He’s actually the best player in the world” and “He’s an overrated tall merchant who can be exposed 1v1 on the perimeter.” Castle too was a scrub in over his head at one point and now he’s the next Tony Parker. I’m getting whiplash

So without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell…who’s generating offense for OKC besides SGA? Chet isn’t close to capable yet. McCain is streaky. Wallace, Dort, Caruso & everyone else is a role player. Nikola Topic time? Only half kidding…
@ryanhammer09@brandonmoix Again though, the onus should be on the refs to just not call it. Shai really doesn’t complain or react when he doesn’t get the whistles; he’s not out there screaming at refs like Luka. That’s my thing. He goes about his business regardless
You can say you want about Megyn Kelly being awful and you’d be 100% correct, but it does give me hope to see some diehard MAGA people finally coming to their senses on Trump. You have to give them props for showing that they have at least a couple working brain cells
Megyn Kelly: “Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was married to the mother of his children Ivana. Ivana accused him of raping her. She alleged he was so angry over the hair transplant he got that she made him get, it was so painful that he raped her. He winds up with Melania and if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, you’ve got bigger issues than I can solve”
