Jalen Williams on criticism of being on social media too much: 'Doesn't bother me at all'
Clemente Almanza: Jalen Williams on criticisms of being on social media too often: “Doesn’t bother me at all. I got to play in the playoffs. Be a key piece on the youngest team in history to be the 1 seed and win a playoff series… It doesn’t hold any value behind the keyboard.”

Jalen Williams on if he hopes the barking from OKC fans continues:
“Yeah I hope it continues. I’ve been on record saying I’ve been barked at in Target and Starbucks.”
JDub says it’s a part of the team’s identity and happened organically out of the team just being goofy. – 4:31 PM

Jalen Williams on Josh Giddey moving to the bench:
“We’ve let it be known to him that that’s really selfless and we appreciate him for that..
I think to be able to take himself out of the equation and look at what was best for the team.. I think it was really commendable.” – 4:27 PM

Aaron Wiggins said this was a super fun season. Mentioned Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams for creating that type of atmosphere. Noted the barking that really became its own thing by the end of the season – 3:01 PM

Kenrich Williams was asked about calling Jalen Williams a future All Star his rookie season:
“Yeah I’m thinking about being a GM in the future. [laughs]
He’s just a different type of guy. He’s got a different type of swag to him. You add that to the gifts and abilities he has.” – 1:34 PM

I wonder what would have happened had Jalen Williams not caught that toss from Luka Doncic. Would have been a Chris Paul-level gamesmanship by JDub to try and get a second tech on Luka. Who knows if it would have worked. – 9:39 PM

Jalen Williams has 16 points at the 9:30 mark in the 3rd, some easy buckets mixed in to get him going as well as game-plan points. First time he has consistently looked like himself in this series. – 9:36 PM

Jalen Williams’ first made 3 in three games is a near halfcourter to close 1Q. Thirty point quarter for OKC. Up seven. They went 22, 22, 23, 25 by quarter last game and only hit 30+ once in previous 12 quarters. – 8:43 PM

And-1 for Jaden Hardy as he attacks Chet Holmgren.
This was right before Jalen Williams connected on a deep 3 to end the quarter.

I thought the Thunder should start Isaiah Joe before the series began. I think now my preference would be Cason Wallace.
I don’t think anything is more important to OKC right now than getting Jalen Williams going. Lightening his defensive workload would be a priority for me. – 8:03 PM

Jason Kidd on SGA & Jalen Williams: “Those guys are super talented and it’s hard to guard one on one. You try to throw many bodies and try to keep them in front. They’ll still get good shots but you try to make it tough for them.” – 6:29 PM
