Just a little off-topic quibble: On your LockedOn Thunder podcast and in your writing for Thunder on SI, you keep saying this is the first parity era in NBA history. I'm old enough to remember that there was no repeat champion during the entire 1970s. (I mean to say this with kindness!)

Cowards and bullies.

Off-topic, but in case you have a mailbag show coming up: At the halfway point, is this season the worst in terms of man- hours lost to injury for the Thunder? And how about the rest of the league?

This is completely off-topic, but Mina, can I use your platform to ask that all sports headline writers retire the phrase "___ says the quiet part out loud?" It's always just clickbait for "someone said something," and it's become meaningless.

BULL-SHIT. He walked away without a care in the world. If he'd had internal bleeding, he'd've been on the sidewalk, moaning.

Oh, please, oh please, oh please!
