@TheHoopCentral @okcthunder with that generational whistle ,it should have been 15-0

The refs in the NBA let OKC play so aggressive on defense yet when you touch them it’s a foul every time. It’s ridiculous 🤦

SI’s Chris Mannix Snubs Luka Dončić from Top 4 MVP Candidates, Calls His Defense ‘One of the Worst in the League’
"I’ve got Luca Dončić in my second tier. Now, I know there’s going to be some criticism about Luka being on the second tier—he’s been outstanding offensively—I just can’t get past the defensive numbers for Luca Dončić.
The defensive numbers have just been they’ve been bad. I want to read some of this: Luka has an individual defensive rating this year of 115.6. That would rank 119th among the 180 players with 25-plus starts this season. So he has been, in any measurable statistic, one of the worst defensive players in the league.
And when the competition is this close, I’ve got to factor that in. I’ve got to include what you’re bringing to the table defensively. He’s the best offensive player in the game, the best offensive weapon in the game, but defensively he’s coming up short.
My first tier is the group of players that we’ve been talking about: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, Jaylen Brown. Those four guys are in my first tier and those are the four guys that I am considering casting my MVP vote for."

Isiah Thomas on Luka Doncic:
"Wemby & Jaylen Brown put you in championship conversation. Luka puts you in 'Okay, we good in the playoffs...' But we're not talking about the Lakers winning a championship."

Skip Bayless says Luka Doncic is by far the least efficient player in the NBA:
“Because from three he’s 36% which is if you look at it that ranks 96th in the league. So, he’s taking the most three point shots and he’s 96th in making those shots. And from the free throw line he takes the most free throws and he’s 86th in making free throws, because he is a 70% free throw shooter. So, he’s by superstar standards he’s a poor three point shooter and a poor free throw shooter. But he’s leading the league and attempts and attempts.”

Skip Bayless on Victor Wembanyama saying he should be MVP: “This young man to me because he has been campaigning several times for several weeks. Is getting dangerously full of himself a little prematurely. That he’s starting to believe he is the Alien, that he does already own this league. I remind everybody he’s still haven’t played one single playoff game in his life, not one. I would remind everybody that if you look at his regular season won, loss record in three years of pro basketball it’s 84-90.” (Via @GilsArenaShow)

Michael Wilbon on the MVP race:
“I have a vote in this. And I will tell you it’s tightened up… I think it’s Jaylen Brown one, SGA two, and Victor three. And then don’t talk to me about a guy who plays half the court, Luka Dončić.”

Cade Cunningham's agent, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports, to ESPN: "Cade has delivered a first-team All-NBA season. If he falls just short of an arbitrary games-played threshold due to legitimate injury, it should not disqualify him from recognition he has clearly earned over the course of the season. The league should be rewarding excellence, not enforcing rigid cutoffs that ignore context. An exception needs to be made."
