Free throw attempts in Game 3:

Guess who won.

[Daily Loud @DailyLoud]

Nash really doesn’t touch the rim on his shots

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

The OKC Thunder are CLEARLY TARGETING Austin Reaves on defense. They go at him and score 5 TIMES IN A ROW 😭💀

This is DIABOLICAL

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

SGA and Luka are not going at it like this

[Jacob @Jacobtheclipper]

L fan boys blaming the refs when they got CLAMPED up and had 20 turnovers is funny 😂

[rio 🇧🇷 🇫🇷 🇵🇹 @pilgeousx]

All this constant conversation around okc flopping & flailing. Can we please address what the lakers have been doing?

Mark Daigneault on OKC’s chemistry: “I really believe that if you have a skeptical or cynical locker room, then the first time a guy dribbles off his foot, everybody's rolling their eyes. That has a huge impact on the confidence of a young player. We don't have that at all.”

8 year old Steph Curry

Crazy that this little dude ended up being the greatest shooter of all time

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master:

The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊

In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable.

On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction.

Preparation is where you build them.
Performance is where you believe in them.

After the win over Iowa State, a video circulated of Tennessee participating in the Lord’s Prayer.

How has Rick Barnes’ beliefs rubbed off on the team?

Mike Conley on what basketball intelligence is to him.

(Really good long quote, on being a point guard)

“It’s an understanding of the game that’s a little bit deeper than just playing really fast… it’s a understanding of feel, like Donte has made 2 in a row, let’s get him his third shot or Ant hasn’t had a shot in 5 possessions let’s get Ant a shot or how can I get him an easy bucket or decision making, you got a 3 on 1 fast break and you got one guy whose cold and you need him to get hot and you got another guy who has made a couple, you go hey let me try and get an easy one for the guy who hasn’t made a shot… if you have a high IQ you can kind of see the play develop, you know what’s going to happen and you can start talking your way in and out of situations”

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"

A professor at the university asked his students the following question:

“Everything that exists was created by God?”
One student bravely answered:
“Yes, it was created by God.”

The professor asked :
“If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.”

The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said:
“Can I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course," replied the professor.

“Professor, is cold a thing?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?”
Students laughed at the young man's question.

The young man answered:
“Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.”

The student continued:
“Professor, does darkness exist?”
“Of course it exists.” said the professor.
“You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.”

In the end, the young man asked the professor:
“Sir, does evil exist?”
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
“Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.”

To this, the student answered:
“Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.”
