Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
The funny thing about all the FT discourse with SGA and the Thunder is that entering Game 6 tonight, the Spurs lead the series in FT attempted:
Spurs: 121-143 from FT line
Thunder: 112-132 from FT line
Let's not act like the Thunder are up 3-2 because of fouls.
"The way they guard, how physical they are, we don't get that same luxury to be able to play as physical on the other end at times.”

Hot take: Luka being clearly better than Shai throughout the entirety of their basketball lives until last season probably means he is better than him but the GM gap is too wide for 77 to keep proving it.
