00:00All right, why don't we start today with the Thunder last night 128 to 126. I mean, I know that obviously two-point game Thunder didn't cover. They haven't covered on the road once in these playoffs, but you know, like the last like 30 seconds was just fouls back and forth. It wasn't like it was a great finish and somebody got a job. They were just fouling each other back and forth. 128-126 the final. Thunder fourth quarter buckets. SGA very involved. ESPN.
00:26SGA spins. Gobert looking to help. Taking his time. Falling away. It's up. It's good. SGA playing like an MVP. SGA against Gobert. Shot clock at seven. Drives. Pulls back. Drives again. Stops. Falls down. Gets it to Williams. Three-pointer. It's good. Jayla Williams with a big bucket.
00:48I mean, this guy, you know, he really is the MVP. He was incredible as usual. He had nine rebounds and 10 dimes. So he went 49 and 10. He shot 13 of 30, which really wasn't that great. Two of seven from downtown.
01:08The thing is, everybody gets mad. He gets to the line a lot. 12 of 14 from the line. Here's the deal. He gets to the line a lot because he gets fouled a lot. People act like this guy isn't getting fouled.
01:19You're imagining things. The guy drives. Every time he has the ball, he's getting bumped. He's getting hacked. He's getting chopped. He's getting attacked every time because he's so good.
01:28But here's what happens. The best player on every team in the league that attacks the paint and goes to the 10 gets fouled. That's all there is to it.
01:39If you didn't have refs, guys would be getting killed and have their heads chopped off because I play without him on, you know, open runs and stuff.
01:49And where I play some days, like this weekend, Mavia knows where I play. If I'm not playing in the good games, I play in the bad games.
01:58And in the bad games that I play in, I mean, they'll just soon kill you and then let you score a layup.
02:03Like someone will take your head off. You go inside in these games with no refs, you're asking for it.
02:09Broken something. Nose, teeth, eye, arm, wrist, hand, me, onions. I mean, they'll kill you.
02:20Like I was playing three on three today with dudes. Like I was like, I told the guy, I'm not even trying.
02:25What are you fouling me for? I'm not even trying to play here. I'm just sweating. Like, don't touch me.
02:32And the guy kept fouling me. And I was like, dude, like, what are you doing? Like, this doesn't even matter.
02:37He goes, matters to me. I'm like, what are you keeping score? You fam? It's three on three game.
02:45I'm like, embarrassing. Honestly, that's why the guy goes to the line. He gets fouled.
02:52Well, of course, the crowd in Minnesota was giving him the free throw merchant chance.
02:57SGA had 40, 10 dimes, nine boards. He was a board shy of the triple-double.
03:02Here he is on the crowd. Give him the business about going to the line so much.
03:06Like, the way I see it is like, my fans, they're going to do whatever they can do to help their team win
03:16and knock me off my game, being the head of the snake of our team. Like, and that's their, that's their job.
03:23That's what their, that's what creates home court advantage. That's what creates a fan base.
03:27That's what creates energy in the building. And they want the Timberwolves to win.
03:30They don't want that close to the end of the win. So I expect nothing else.
03:33And in terms of the label, I don't care. I never cared.
03:38I said this before, like, I've shot more free throws in a season than I did this season.
03:44Like, I think because we're on the top of everyone's radar, it's a little bit more noticeable.
03:48And now people care about it. But I kind of see it as a compliment.
