as for this series, it's fun to see shai perform so well. lu dort, objectively inferior to andre roberson, nevertheless has attained golden child status with thunder media-- something roberson was never afforded. steven adams might be useless with westbrook not playing. chris paul might spend the offseason in cryotherapy after playing 40 minutes in playoff games. dennis schroder has been terrible. danilo gallinari has been great. terrance ferguson should play a bit more. diallo, nader, and noel should not see the floor ever again.

Now I feel great again.”
