They Were WRONG About Shai Gilgeous-Alexander...

[@808bboarder]

Must be the new fans who are only familiar with the Modern NBA who would think Shai’s game wouldn’t translate. Mid range shots are the shots that translate in the playoffs more than any style consistently. They don’t watch him if they think he relies on the whistle. SGA was getting to his spots and doing what he does lol

[@Brickwilliams]

Thunder are better when he’s on the bench, he holds the ball too much and gets only difficult shots. Makes some of them but misses plenty. It’s not good basketball only reason this series is tied 2-2 is because luka is dog shit and should be benched

It would definitely help. They are contesting them far better now though, Dallas clearly adjusted and is even contesting Giddey now. (as a late rotation) Still, I'm expecting at least a few more of them to go in, especially for guys like Isaiah Joe, who even got the start last game.

[@mingloff]

Ngl Shai has moved me deeply this postseason. Best midrange in the game today.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I think it is not just his incredible shotmaking, he also is consistantly able to create space, even just a little to get his shot off. He is shooting over much bigger guys a lot of the time. This is stuff I've seen DeRozan and Ingram do a ton for years now, but he seems to be even a little better at it, despite having a smaller frame.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

It is not just his game, he also has the clutch gene. He's never been an insane 3 point shot, but I've seen him consistantly hit them in the 4th quarter when it matters. That is just elevating your game at the right time. Ofcourse he can't always win a game on his own, but I've seen him being the only offense for so many games, the rest of the team then gets a chance to clamp up on defense and string some stops together for a potential win.

SGA's been consistently really good. The concern for the Thunder is being able to generate consistent offense outside of him, which is way more likely to end their season than Shai not performing.

[@sora_2342]

If our guys can just get back to the efficiency that they had during the season, this series is over in 6! We haven’t been shooting well, J Dub and Chet need to step it up on offense. j Dub needs to start scoring more consistently and Chet needs to find his outside shot again. Then if Dort can shoot better like we all know he can, if giddy can take advantage of how the mavs are disrespecting him and start taking the ball in and scoring and our bench keeps performing it’s game over. But our offense needs to remember what we where in the regular season

In this game, we saw more than ever how well deserved SGA's MVP noise was. He was incredible the entire game, despite not really getting calls for fouls that were clearly made against him. (which weren't called often in this game for some reason) He kept the Thunder in the game for most of the game and ran away with it in the end. It was amazing to see him just ignore going to the rim altogether and just go full DeRozan and being scorching hot from midrange. Some of those shots were incredibly difficult and nearly all of them were contested where he only managed to get an inch of space to shoot over the defender. I'm a bit sad that we still didn't get to see Luka performing at his level, this game even Kyrie didn't ramp it up with this scoring at the end of the game, though to be honest they both played very well on the defensive end and especially Kyrie created a ton of offense with his passing. Lets hope for some more great games.

The real clutch player of the year Curry won the sympathy award just like Gobert This idea of 5 points or less under 5 minutes it's just dumb and easy to remember so the casuals can have something they feel like they understand but obviously that's completely artificial and doesn't really measure real clutchness exactly like triple doubles aren't real stats What's so special about 10 that is so much better than 9 25 17 7 like joker often does isn't recorded as a stat because it's not a triple double but sabonis 17 15 11 is Who had a better game? But the triple double gets recorded as a specific stat line just because 10 it's cooler than 9 Real clutchness is in the playoffs So regular season most clutch player doesn't even make sense especially in a team that never was in the playoffs picture or contending all year long and never truly in danger of not being part of the play in What can be clutch about gsw season if they had no stakes whatsoever for the all year? Nothing to lose nothing to gain Too good to be worse than Houston too bad to dream of winning any games in the playoffs What clutchness can be accomplished when there is no risk or potential reward? Obviously playoffs is where clutchness is at If you really want to pretend that you can award it on regular season get the regular season games closest to look like a playoffs game in consideration In Curry clutch season highlights after he won the award 3 minutes out of the 9 of the video he was playing against pistons and Washington lol

[@awethinic8379]

The theory is 5 out, a trad big clogs up the lane. It might change because dallas owned the lane without okc having a big and still challenging the 3. I guess we’ll see if they change with their draft pick.

No they should traded for miles turner an elite shot blocker, he can stroke the three ans a good rebounder... if we had turner we would of ran thru the west..... or if we would have taken jalen duren over ousmane dieng in the draft two years ago once again we'd be running thru the west easily with him... but I still have high hopes for ousmane dieng.
