@PlayoffAG I know is this is just bait, but this is a heavily ironic statement from an anon basketball twitter account.

I know it’s basic to say but I genuinely don’t understand how you like this

1 year ago today: Sleep Token released "Caramel." The second single off 'Even in Arcadia,' the song acted as a clarion call to Sleep Token's entire scene. It’s both an indictment of toxic fandom online and a diary of a man struggling with his own fame, worrying how to contend with it without falling into bitterness or seeming ungrateful. Sonically, it represents a yin-yang of extremes, its chart-baiting pop leaving listeners unprepared for the sudden plunge into metal in its bridge.

@17thSonSchaefer @MambaArchives This level of trolling is almost admirable, but not really.

SGA and OKC don’t deserve anything the last few seasons. The league has intervened beyond anything we have ever seen in any other sport, to this degree. McClung is a better player than SGA. If he flopped around like a muppet and the refs gave him the whistle. Then the OKC defense that fouls extreme including Dort trying to injure players on purpose?
In pro sports with the level of athletes these guys are, it doesnt take much to give unfair advantage. For OKC it takes a lot… that should tell you how bad they are.
English
SGA didn’t deserve the mvp last season and he doesn’t deserve it this season
MVP my ass 😭 FOH
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy Like sure, the Thunder’s bench is awesome. Love them for it. They are better than most other benches in the league, if not all. Do they beat starters on a consistent basis over an 82 game schedule? That’s a stretch.
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy Who did they play during those stretches and how many players on the other team were injured or resting as well? You gotta dive a little deeper than that to move me
English
in SGA v Luka debates… if you want to argue SGA has a higher floor while Luka has the higher ceiling, I can 10000% be on board w it & tbh think it’s the best way to articulate the difference btwn the two. SGA just objectively has an elite level of consistency, but a locked-in Luka reaches heights very few have reached
Hoops Tonight@hoopstonite
Shai & the Thunder just sent a MESSAGE to Luka & the Lakers
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy I would argue that they’d all be a 6-10 seed without their best players, and it’s all conjectural and has no merit. It’s made up scenarios that hold no value. If there is no SGA or Wemby, Luka or Jokic are the clear favorites for MVP. That’s what the votes will tell you.
English
@B_Swavey @balldontTy I’d argue the Spurs and Thunder would still be in the top 6 without SGA and Wemby… the Lakers would be hanging on to a play-in spot without Luka.
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy He’s one of the best players in the world, but you don’t give someone an MVP when there are two other teams that are gonna win 60+ games and have 2 players that in my opinion are of equal value. Luka has had crazier stat lines, SGA might be the most consistent player ever.
English
@B_Swavey @balldontTy No I’m simply saying the criticism of Luka is totally unfair given how poorly set up the supporting cast is compared to the job the Thunder have done building around Shai in the draft.
It’s a complete mismatch.
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy If you aren’t then cool, if you are then your point would be moot anyway. Besides very random storybook cases like Russ, the MVP almost always goes to the best player on the best team.
English
@AndrewFearn95 @balldontTy I don’t understand the argument. A superior GM and management doing their jobs well should put an asterisk on individual honors?
English
@balldontTy Is it 5 or 6 lottery picks on OKC? I can’t remember…
Luka with that Thunder group would dead ass sweep all individual honours and the title every year too. Let’s not act like what they’re working with is remotely close.
English
@ballknower300 @its__CAM They’ve already dealt with countless injuries over the last 2 seasons, and everyone trying to discredit SGA says they don’t need him anyway. There’s literally no arguing with you fellas.
English
@SloHoopsFan It’s insane to me about how the average hoops fan can’t understand that a system/culture put into place by the Thunder is what makes them a better roster, and he elevates both of those. OKC is a below average shooting team, they’re predicated on defense. SGA is the offense.
English
The media is telling us that the guy with the worse stats and a better roster is somehow MVP over Luka.
Very interesting logic.
English
@EthicalHoopz The 2023 nuggets were direct beneficiaries of playing against injured teams in every single round of the playoffs. But people don’t call it a hospital ring because of one player during a 16-16 game 7.
English
The 2023 Denver Nuggets dominated the entire league, yet not a single soul called them unwatchable because a lot of fans actually know what good basketball looks like
Dan Greenberg@StoolGreenie
One thing that I find pretty interesting is how similar the "SGA is an unwatchable product" take is to the "the way the Celtics play is unwatchable" take we heard during their title run Neither is true, and most come from upset fanbases who are just mad their favorite team got the belt
English
He full extends on EVERY. SINGLE. DRIVE this is the first time I’ve seen it called.
SCOUTWITHBRYAN@ScoutWithBryan
Good for the ref having the balls to make this call. SGA gets away with this A LOT. Big to call that on a last second shot.
English
BREAKING: Victor Wembanyama is now the favorite to win MVP.
He would be the youngest MVP in NBA history.
English
@GetItGabbbby Loving sports is cool, but letting it consume you to where you legitimately hate someone who plays ball for a living is mental illness
English
LMAOOOO saying this after Wemby dropped a 40 ball in TEN LESS MINUTES with ‼️TWENTY ONE‼️ LESS FREE THROWS attempted & a greater defensive impact than this loser I know he’s hurt 😭 I can’t wait to watch this corny, piece of shit, free throw merchant lose everything this year 🥰
Hoop Central@TheHoopCentral
“Nah, I’m good. Thanks for asking, though…I let my game do the talking.” — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on if he wants to make his case for the MVP. (h/t @MichaelOnSports)
English
@B_Swavey @JOHNPEAVS @cnc_TRIGGER JB does embellishes contact too and he gets plenty of shit for it but he
-doesn’t have half the whistle Shai does -doesn’t embellish as often
-doesn’t play on a team with Lu Dort and Alex Caruso smacking people 24/7
English
Coach nick gonna drop a video later talking about how it’s bio mechanically natural for Shai to twerk mid air after he gets some contact high on his forearm
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
Completely natural shooting form by SGA here

@imansbarber @B_Swavey @cnc_TRIGGER Crying this hard when your team would’ve lost either way, have some shame
English
@shamrokshwtime @cnc_TRIGGER @imansbarber The original post is focused on this play. Stop doing backflips to prove a point
English
@cnc_TRIGGER @imansbarber @B_Swavey You’re still just focused on this one play and not acknowledging the point
