@EthicalHoopz Tell me you don’t watch the games🤣bro came out halfway through the 3rd. Teams don’t pull dudes in the middle of runs when there is still of time. He’s played less minutes than Wemby recently has in blowouts, try and look less bias!

What happened to shame man? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@kawhi_ring Seems like Shai has already played in 3-4 of these (San Antonio, Knicks, Denver multiple times) and been the clear best player on the court in each.

Luka and SGA in their matchup earlier this season Is this also the game of the year?

@sky78715428 @hoopstonite Lot more mobile, a lot more of his game involves lateral movement. Not hard to connect the dots here if you’re trying to keep an open mind! History will not act like this, fixating on micro fractions of instant replays. Greatness will be appreciated one day, for all three guys!

@HeWhoSavedBall @hoopstonite So why does Embiid get a bunch of calls then he’s always stagnant

Here’s how to fix the SGA officiating problem

@NuggetsorBust Getting fouled is part of being the primary guy on a team with limited tertiary creators for the majority of the seasons. He doesn’t get to play off of Jokic in the clutch. We aren’t debating Murray vs Shai for clutch bc there is no real debate, despite what “counting stats” say

68 free throws by the way, in 27 clutch games. Compare that to Jamal Murray who is 2nd in total clutch points, played 36 clutch games but only 64 free throws. 9 more games, 4 fewer free throws.

@sky78715428 @hoopstonite Easier to defend a stagnant player or post centric player without fouling than it is the shiftiest player since Iverson. All in the context within which offense is played. Dudes can’t stay in front of Shai

@HeWhoSavedBall @hoopstonite If stars get calls why doesn’t Jokic get them he rarely shoots double digit free throws

@RyanHatesLitter Holy overreaction to 2 games out of 82🤣

I mean they struggled vs the bulls for 2.75 quarters. And got taken to OT at home vs the pistons missing main guys. Just don’t see a reality where they make it out of the 2nd round without Jdub becoming Jdub again

@ryenarussillo Defenders initiate contact bc they can’t stay in front of him. He’s not creating a substantive enough difference to call it a foul, or else they would call it. We gotta quit assuming that NBA refs don’t know NBA rules

This is the #1 problem with the way the game is called now. SGA can use his arms to push the defender away, but as the defender tries to recover and reaches, he’s called for the foul. It’s a foul on SGA first but it’s (almost) never called vs. FTs on marginal contact.

@bowlsy26 @drewkerr17 I refuse to believe that an actual human being rationalized this by jumping through an inhumane amount of hoops, then typed it, and decided posting it was the best course of action.

@drewkerr17 Is the blatant slap in the room with us right now? He misses badly because he’s always concerned with milking a foul, rather than concentrating on the shot. His shot % is high because the refs bail him out and all the missed shots like this don’t count.

I love the people that want to act like this wasn’t a blatant slap on the shooting arm? When is the last time anybody saw Shai miss this shot, this badly without getting hit…?

@Possiblechairs What a great guy, already having the content prepped. Thanks!

@Possiblechairs Aaron, would last year’s OKC team have slotted in the “best teams ever” series?

@CAlmanza1007 Insane to see wizards fans blaming J Will

Champagnie hits Mitchell in the face first. Hard to blame Ajay for his reaction

@HookaMVP Check it now brother. It’s a 4Q game!

The league is giving this the MVP over Luka btw

@SportsCenter Yall gotta delete this lol

Ant locks up Shai 👀 Shai wanted a foul. Watch Timberwolves-Thunder on ABC and the ESPN App 🍿

@MiamiClip As an OKC fan, I tuned into this at halftime. Didn’t see one call in the moment I thought was egregious. Congrats on history!

Every foul that led to Bam Adebayo free throws safe to say all fair calls

@MarlowNYC Refs gave it to OKC…. Dort fouled out (and we were sans Dub and Ajay)… sigh

refs gave that one to OKC (and we were sans mitch)... sigh

@Bigfatt77013639 @royceyoung Didn’t watch the finals eh?

@royceyoung Couple of steaks and 5-8 points per game is not worth 80 million dollars. Terrible contract by the Thunder.

The Raptors had come back from 17 down to start the fourth to tie it at 101-101, with OKC only scoring 3 points in the first 8 minutes of the quarter. Then Caso hit back to back layups to stabilize the game, then grabbed a steal and set I Joe up for a transition 3.

@Possiblechairs Thanks so much!

@HeWhoSavedBall A repeat of last year would be pretty insane, top 30 does sound right. It’s hard to rank someone who’s ascending so quickly, but around Dwyane Wade at 25 seems like the right area for someone under 600 games played still

@Possiblechairs Aaron, I am in a heated debate. If Shai repeats last year ( MVP, FMVP), where does he go to all time? Top 30 range?

@GreydonHowell4 Box score stats?

50 points against the #9 team in 4a
