“As you’re walking off the floor, you had a big smile. What’s going through your mind at that moment?” Shai: “Some fans were taunting me, and I know how the game goes, I know how life is. It’s easy to taunt when you’re up, and I don’t ever want to show them that I’m defeated or mad or anything like that. Nothing’s written, the series is not over, and we have a lot to be optimistic about. I didn’t perform the way I wanted down the stretch, but I have an opportunity in the next game and the next game after that to make up for it — and I’m optimistic, I’m optimistic about it.” -via YouTube / May 10, 2025
