Minnesota attempted 47 free throws compared to OKC’s 30. I asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander if the narrative that OKC has a special whistle bothers him, especially on a night when the stats don’t support that: “I don’t care, not one bit. I can’t control how the refs blow the whistle...

SGA on the special whistle narrative "I don't care, not one bit. I can't control how the refs blow the whistle ever. I've never been able to. Never been a ref. All I can do is play basketball, and that's all I focus on.” (h/t Oh No He Didn't)

Jaylen Brown said at his Bloomberg event last night that this is probably the most focused he has been on basketball in his career. When asked about that after the Celtics’ win over the Raptors tonight, Brown, normally hands on with his off-court ventures, discussed the value of building a team he can trust. “I’ve been able to develop my team outside of basketball, where I have people that I can delegate to, that I can focus on everything else.” “Now, I’ve been able to assemble a team that I trust. So I can let them do that, and I can just focus on basketball, on the season.”

“It takes a team to win games. That is the Number 1 mission of this team. It has to be. And no one can forget that. Personally, I’ve never played the game for stats. Even though I know it’s a measurement that other people will judge. But they don’t know anything. It’s about what the team, the individuals on a team, determine a success. Our number one goal is to win. When it takes a team to win and do something special, how you do it really doesn’t matter” 🔥🔥 -I asked Jalen Hurts about the Eagles, maybe not having the best stats in the passing game, but doing all the things like blocking and dirty work, to win

Don’t forget when Kobe Bryant said James Harden’s style of play won’t win championships: “I’m not a fan of in terms of winning championships — I don’t think that style is ever going to win championships…not with this style of play — it won’t win…if you take one player and put him at the top of the key…the defense can key on that particularly in the playoffs, that’s easy to defend.” Since this, Harden still hasn’t won a championship.

Pat Bev GOES OFF on Trae Young and tells him to win more games before speaking to him 😳 “I don’t think he’s won enough to even speak to me… He’s been to the playoffs three times. I’ve been to the playoffs nine. My first seven years, I didn’t miss the playoffs at all. I’ve talked to people who played in Atlanta. They don’t wanna play there. Why? They don’t think he’s a good leader. They don’t think he’s a good teammate… You can make all the money you want. You can have all the leading assists you want. You can do all that. If you don’t win, that sh*t won’t matter. If you don’t win, when you retire they’re gonna forget your name.” (🎥 Sixers Burner )

Jason Kidd spoke on why he’s the right fit for the Mavericks as a HC with multiple changes in the organization over the years. “Why do I think I’m the right guy? I’ve done this for a couple years now. I’ve been to the Finals, the WCF twice. Continuity was there. I’ve been around teams that have been sold; so I’ve seen everything. When I’ve come to work each day, I’ve never complained. I try to find a way to win, I love winning. Losing sucks, but it’s hard to win in this league. Just understanding and going through the process, I believe that I can help us get to the finish line and that’s to win a championship.”

Max Strus says making the NBA required him to accept he doesn’t have a bag anymore and that shooting got him on the floor but defense would keep him out there “I don’t have a bag. I used to have a bag back in college, but I don’t anymore because you find what your niche is and you just go at it.” “I knew shooting the basketball was going to get me on the floor, and then I knew playing defense was going to keep me on the floor. I’ll guard the best player. I don’t care. They’re going to score on me because everybody’s that good. You can’t really stop anybody anyway.” “So it’s like, how can I make it as tough as possible on them? I don’t need to shoot the ball. I’m all right. I can do other things that I know are helping the team win. How can I make Donovan Mitchell better? How can I make James Harden better? How can I make Jarrett Allen better?” “If I feel like I haven’t gotten a shot, it’s like, all right, go crash the offensive rebound and get it. I’m not going to sit here and cry to myself about not shooting the ball or not being involved. Make yourself useful.” “My first couple years [in Miami], I don’t think I dribbled the ball once. Come off a handoff and shoot, come off a screen and shoot, and then defend and rebound. That’s all I did.” “As you continue to build more confidence within the team, within the coach, they put you in positions where, all right, now I can do a little bit more.” “You’ve got to have the humbleness to humble yourself to, ‘I’m not that guy anymore. I can’t be that guy anymore.’ But then be ready for the opportunity when it does come, ‘No, I could still be that guy. That’s just not what we need right now. But when we do, I got you.’”

“I was hot-headed as a kid, and then as I've grown I've just understood that getting too high or getting too low especially in competition doesn't really help me. The way I see it, techs is points. And I don’t ever want to give the team points because I can’t control my emotions, so I just control them. It’s that simple to me.” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on not picking up technical fouls.

"Little frail. That's what the refs are going to call. I got to be smarter about it, but this is the playoffs, a man's game." Dillon Brooks on defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. "When I used to watch this back when Michael Jordan was playing, or whoever else, when LeBron (James) was younger, it was physical basketball. I don't get why all the falling, the flopping and flailing and all this stuff is allowed when we get to the playoffs. Leave that for the season, for the fans. This is about who is the better team, who is the (smarter) team. Don't decide the games on free throws." FTs: Thunder 20-of-25. Suns 18-of-22. "Maybe I got to look back at it and see it they're really fouls, but all I know is when I'm watching or when I was out for the playoffs or I've been in the playoffs or I'd be watching from before I was in the NBA, it was straight physical. Straight low scoring, physical basketball and you got to score the basketball to win or get stops to win. Not this flailing and going to the line and stoppage of play. Like, got to fix that." Brooks added the referees just give excuses when asked to explain a call. #Suns #ThunderUp

I try to just forget it. Of course, if I scored five goals in the game, I would think of it the day after but I really try not to focus on the past” “I try to focus on the future and just attack the future with all my energy and my focus to become a better version of myself”
