Chris Paul wiped the sweat from his eyes after practice Monday and answered a question he seemed to be waiting for.
The Thunder point guard was asked if, at the beginning of the season, he envisioned his team being in this position.
“Yup,” said Paul, in a louder than usual voice. “I thought we’d actually have a better record. I don’t know who I said it to at some point, but I said, no offense, but as long as I’m on the court I feel like we’ve always got a chance. I don’t care what the team is, what it looks like, who it is or whatever.
