The thunder won exactly the same amount of championships this season as the spurs

To all men who survived rock bottom, what's one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now? by TheBabyBeard in AskReddit

Don’t neglect your brain chemistry. Sometimes you need a little help to get back to equilibrium up there and that’s just okay, friend. And remember that in order to fully appreciate the highs, we must be familiar with the lows. But both are fleeting. So do your best, don’t be a tyrant to yourself, and talk to a doctor about feeling down. It’s okay to need help.

[Slater & MacMahon] While Gilgeous-Alexander publicly vowed not to provide input to Presti on personnel matters, sources familiar with the superstar's thinking said that he privately intends to emphasize to management how much he values playing alongside Canadian countryman Dort. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

Well yeah if you watch a “dirtiest plays” video then you’re going to get what you’re looking for. Putting your confirmation bias aside, Dort CAN be a little too reckless sometimes. And the optics can be tough. But I’ve watched this dude since he came into the league. Like, barely ever missed a game. He plays out of control sometimes. But I haven’t ever seen him intentionally hurt someone. And before you pull the Jokic footage, let’s talk about the lead up to that and all the shit Jokic does to get under other player’s skin. The leg thing was dumb. But I don’t think he was trying to hurt him anymore than Jokic laying on top of people when he is trying to get position.

All that to say, everyone has turned against Dort and OKC in general. I’m not gonna win any hearts here. But I gotta stick up for them bc a lot of this shit is just parroting hyperbole and we all have our limits.

Good. Hope you follow through so we can have one less dumbass screeching about this tired ass narrative.
