The Thunder are using the same locker room that the Milwaukee Bucks were in when they staged their historic protest. Paul, dressed in street clothes, exited the locker room to head down the hallway toward the bathroom, and let out a “Woooo.” On his way back, he told an NBA PR official, “We gotta get those ratings up.” … I’m taking Paul out of context here, but he was talking about the instruction to teammates he gives during games and he said: “I just love it that they know i’m going to talk the whole game. Sometimes I probably need to shut the hell up, but they’re going to hear me, that’s what I’m here for.”
