The Oklahoma City Thunder have won six in a row, but will face a stern test on Sunday night when they visit the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. Oklahoma City has the NBA's best winning percentage at.800. The Thunder have the second-most road wins in the NBA and this is the second contest of a six-game road trip. The excursion got off to a great start with a 117-114 overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks, the Thunder's fourth consecutive road win. Kevin Durant went off for a career-high 52 points in an incredible effort. He only shot 13-for-31 from the field, but went 5-for-9 from long distance. Perhaps the most impressive stat from Durant's amazing night was that he went 21-for-21 from the free-throw line, which was the second-best foul-shooting night in NBA history behind Dominique Wilkins' 23-for-23 night in 1992.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Excerpt:

Victoria's Secret has apologized over a Native American-inspired look worn at its annual fashion show, and says it will pull the ensemble from the event's upcoming TV broadcast. Model Karlie Kloss walked the runway during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week in an ensemble that included a feathered headdress, turquoise jewelry and a fringed belt. Native Appropriations, a blog focused on "documenting images of Indigenous peoples, languages and cultures in every day life," wrote: "Besides the daily harm of these ongoing microaggressions for Native folks, the sexualization of Native women continues to be an ignored and continuing epidemic." "This isn't 'fun,' this isn't a 'fantasy' character. This is about our cultures, our bodies, and our lives," the post continued. "Native people demand and deserve far more respect than this." Victoria's Secret apologized in a statement released Saturday via its Facebook page.

Excerpt:

Monday' report by IRNA says Ali Akbar Javanfekr went back to Tehran's Evin Prison to continue serving his six-month sentence for "publishing material contrary to Islamic norms" and disparaging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The charges are thought connected to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's political battles with Khamenei. Ahmadinejad checked out Javanfker in hospital on Sunday in a gesture of support for the adviser. The adviser was in stable condition. An Iranian court pronounced guilty Javanfekr in 2011 and banned him from journalism activities for 3 years.
