“Not that I’m not explosive now as a born-again Christian”

@OULostMascot @Carson_OKC @trevordalton01 Two things can be true, not the best supporting cast and he didn’t play great. But at some point we have to use some IQ when looking at those percentages. But typical NBA Twitter.

@pickthepicker99 @Carson_OKC @trevordalton01 KD playing the way he did in game 6 & 7, and then saying it’s his teammates fault will never not be funny.

Never forget: Andre Roberson (32%) had a better 3-point percentage than Kevin Durant (28%) in the 2016 playoffs.

@OULostMascot @Carson_OKC @trevordalton01 I mean one guy is wide open and the other is seeing the best coverage but I guess get off some dumb slander.

@Carson_OKC @trevordalton01 And then had the audacity to say he “couldn’t win with those cats” 🤦‍♂️

@AngryThunderGuy Weird.

Crazy what getting rid of Josh Giddey can do to a team

I like Stephon Castle overall but tonight definitely made me less of a fan. I hope he has terrible rest of the series and an amazing career.

@DavisIngram321 @FanDuel Not that hard with what Shai is doing.

@FanDuel If SGA gets to & wins another Finals it’ll be him but imma go with Russ, it’s hard to deny 3 or 4 Str8 seasons of Triple-Doubles

Who has a better legacy with the Thunder? 🤔 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Russell Westbrook ✍️ #NBA | #ThunderUp

@CLV_Undertaker_ @SportsCenter “Obvious ball knower”

@SportsCenter Whatever helps him sleep at night man. Flop King 👑

"They're not gonna like me, ... I honestly like it." Shai likes when the opposing crowd hates him 😮‍💨

@LegazyLG @ThunderChats Castle is straight bullying him though. As soon as I see that match up, I want Ajay to get off the ball and get it back with an advantage off of a screen. If he and Shai backdoor more, they’ll get earlier shots as well.

@pickthepicker99 @ThunderChats I dont think the issue with ajay is confidence, I think hes struggling due to length/intensity. Once he starts clicking

The fact that Jared McCain can go 2/10 from 3 and STILL have the impact he did on this game in GAME 3 of the WCF ON THE ROAD is literally insanity

@LegazyLG @ThunderChats Yeah I could see that and they definitely are bothering him. But he’s playing like he already knows what he’s going to do instead of reacting and initiating more contact with the ball to get space.

@DamienPetersNBA They’re underrating that handle man. Shai has that ball on a string and is making every read.

There’s lesson to be learned here for the Spurs: Sometimes going into a game with a premeditated game plan can be problematic without seeing how the game progresses. Committing to doubling Shai from the jump without seeing if he’s first going to dominate you 1-on-1 is a risk especially if the Thunder role players are shooting lights out.

@tsigsta @drenchmansports Dylan will be a perennial all-star. That and MVP are two very different things. I like him though.

@pickthepicker99 @drenchmansports Dylan definitely has elite finishing talent like Shai and u can tell by the way he moves he’s special lol

Dylan Harper can be as good as SGA man

That Shai skip pass to Cason

@pilgeousx Nigga needed Dora to help

@jga41agher I do not know how this doesn’t have over 10k likes. Hilarious 😂

Luke Kornet closed out on J Will like he saw a stripper trying to make a living

Big part about being an all-time guard vs all-time big is that I can just give my guard the ball in the backcourt and they control the possession. They don’t need to be fed. Thats why despite not shooting amazing, you can’t take Shai out the game with that ball handling.

@_lm277 @DamienPetersNBA What do you want me to say, he’s the 12th best player in the league? I’m not a dumbass.

@pickthepicker99 @DamienPetersNBA So he’s top 3 for you but he’s overrated defensively and not there yet offensively ? Not sure how that works but fair enough

Unpopular opinion: Wemby’s perimeter defense is a little overrated against wings and guards. He’s often out of control when closing out. He gets blown by often. He’s not necessarily elite side to side or up and down. He bites a lot on pump fakes. His recovery is excellent because he’s so long and he still deters an attempt at the rim quite often, but by that time the Spurs are already in the blender and it usually ends in a good look that is born from that initial action.

@_lm277 @DamienPetersNBA Yes, because you can be overrated in that sense but still have insane impact on the game. There’s nuance. Wemby isn’t some great perimeter defender or offensive player (yet). Those aren’t hot takes.

Man and no JDub. This team is scary man.

@FUCKMYGUNJAMMED For such a great team, if it’s not perfect, the fanbase just goes off the cliff. Well earned win

Lock in yall u panicking

I do find it nasty that people are attempting to get off Fox agendas. That’s nasty with a high ankle sprain man.

@portraitwilde The other Dorian I know has down syndrome.

@pickthepicker99 No one cares what you feel

The way yall have collectively become pussy because OKC puts they hands and feet on yall lil teams tell me it's a lot of them old teams yall don't want nun to do with if this a physical team to you.
