Mike Breen on SGA:
"Does Shai sell calls sometimes? Absolutely, but so do 287 other players in the NBA… When they weren't a championship contender, nobody complained. They only complain now because they are winning.”

16 years ago today…
OKC hosted their first NBA playoff game.
The game was an arrival on the national stage for the Thunder. National spotlight vs Kobe & the champion Lakers.
This clip sums it up: an 8-0 run with a Westbrook dunk, Harden 3 + KD 3.
And the debut of Loud City.
“Shai’s expected to tuck his shirt in at practice just like Brooks Barnhizer is … Sam doesn’t treat anybody differently” — Alex Caruso talks about what makes the OKC Thunder culture so special
Just went back and watched the LSU game and right before LSU snaps the ball on 4th & 2 to stay alive at the end of the game Venables is on the sidelines SMILING.
He’s smiling because he knew he had them. The perfect play call with full trust in the players.
Coach of the year.
