[Highlight] SGA hits a huge three, Dort gets the deflection on the other end, and SGA is there again to draw a foul and put OKC up late
So fun to see this suns team of dawgz making this an actual matchup
Y’all are so insaneđđđ
It’s insane to be proud of your team out performing expectations against the defending champs? I can’t imagine what normal is to you.
Huh? I’m saying the suns team is insane, as in insanely good. They have insane hustle
Respect, misinterpreted it as you calling suns fans insane
They seriously have something brewing, toughest game OKC played all season. Intangibles on 100 everyone is bought in
Right, people saying they haven’t seen shai this animated on the court and I think that says something about this suns team.
They played amazing defense all game long, rotations and everything on point. Took some mj-like heroics from Shai to actually win, crazy fourth by him.
Shai was this animated cuz brooks was fouling him every single play lmao, but refs let them play
Thatâs how I read it too đŹ
That three was gross. Very rarely see him get animated like that afterwards
He was fired up dude I love it
They made him bleed. Man was pissed from then on.
You guys are so full of your selves lol. Deservedly so your team is amazing rn.
SGA leading in clutch points while sitting out of more than half of 4th quarters is a rather disgusting stat.
As a Thunder fan that wants to believe it I havenât found any stat sites that show this, would love for someone to prove me wrong
the broadcast showed it Edit: here, looked it up for you.
SGA leading in clutch totals with 74 pts, next up is Cade with 57.
He also leads in clutch PPG with 9.3, next up is Ant with 5.8.
Clutch Player of the Year
Edit: love the salt from r/nba with the downvotes, keep it coming!
Go to the 37 second mark and watch the amazing play
Literally the best and most clutch player in the league. Were witnessing one if the greatest peaks in league history
When you get calls like the one at 37 seconds, yeah youâre going to peak hard
Rent free
Rent free at the free throw line and you love whistles and/or FTâs so much more than basketball, you throat him
You mean the call that was challenged by the Suns and upheld because it was a foul? You’re coping hard brother
Iâm not arguing that it wasnât a foul. My point is that he can get that foul called every time he wants because of how the rules are written. Itâs a flawed sport. He initiated the contact and got rewarded for it. The defender was just standing there when SGA jumped into him. The fact that the game was STOPPED so SGA could go shoot free throws is the pathetic part. but regardless, SGA will continue peeking hard for as long as he gets that call. Because not only is the defender not allowed to play defense, they arenât even allowed to stand there with their arms up, given the way that refs reward SGA, jumping into them and up through their arms after their arms fall down from SGA initiating contact with their sternum.
Anyways, donât you have some free throws to go watch? I understand that yâall hate basketball and you just want to watch free throws. So I will let you get back to it.
The defender would’ve been allowed to stand there with their arms up had they defended legally, however as you know from the referees, the arms didn’t stay vertical. Your gripe is more with the officiating than it is with SGA. Also the game stopping to shoot free throws being pathetic to you is odd, that’s just how shooting free throws works? I don’t like watching fts as much as the next person but that’s the rule book buddy.
Also not a great insult considering OKC are 17th in FTA per game as a team. Have a good day bro
Cinema
The slow zoom out to the crowd pop was elite
Mvp thingsÂ
SGA keeps upgrading. He shot that without a stepback. His game is continuing to grow every year. The guy is already so talented, but he continues to get better. The last 2 nights, SGA has just willed us to win down the stretch.
He’s playing an entirely different game than everybody else
He is inevitable
MY KING
that treyball is so goddamn reliable this season
Does anyone actually like these courts? I feel like they could do a better job of making special courts for these games without making our eyes bleed.
Donât hate them as long as they arenât super bright
Okc one is fire the lakers bright yellow is a headache though
No, and donât love that Luka had put himself out there to publicly say theyâre slippery either
Ours is cool imo I think it depends on the central color chosen. Bright yellow, bright green, bright red all suck ass to look at
I’m a fan.
Even some of the more divisive bright ones. I think they are fun.
Like 8 stray “highlights” from the Lakers game on the front page and this clutch ass shit has barely a couple hundred upvotes at the time of commenting. This sub is so stupidÂ
Lakers sub honestly
Best shooting guard since Kobe
Better then Steph is crazy
Agenda wars like we’ve never seen are being fought rn
Ok just have to interject here to say Steph is a PG man, I know they call him a SG but…
Tbf the same goes for SGA, he’e a PG on paper XD
This isn’t a logical statement. Steph’s peak was better than Kobe’s. You can either say best since Steph, best since MJ, or best ever.
The agenda last year was best since Steph, now weâre graduating to best since MJ
Best all time
Say the thing!
“And it’s…”
You’re already behind, it’s best since Naz Reid now (he’s actually a guard for this example)
OKC fan and you think Shai is a SG lmao
LeFuckYou Free throw
Not surprised they made everybody in the arena STOP to watch some free throws 10 seconds into this clip.
How is that a foul on book?
His arms were too far forward so he wasn’t in legal guarding position. Suns challenged the call but it was upheld.
Howâs it not
I 100% agree with you. He is there in position before any upward motion starts. His arms https://imgur.com/a/MRutUjW in this position. Now stand up yourself like this and hold the arms up vertically and start bracing for impact because someone is about to run/jump into you. You will feel your arms coming just a tad bit forward because that is what human bodies do. After that you will get the impact and it’s only natural your arms come down. I actually find it comical this didn’t get overturned. They are looking at the review slowed down looking for 5 degree angle on the arms and stop thinking how the human body actually works to justify their decision in the moment.
Elite foul drawer
A fan of a team hated in their own city talking shit lmao
If you think being called an elite foul drawer is an insult, I think that says something about how YOU view foul drawing.
So smart, I tip my fedora to you le epic redditor
You’re the one making a thing out of this.
People downvoting when he intentionally drew a foul in this exact clip LMAOOOOOOOO
âIntentionally drew a foulâ you mean he got fouled?
I mean he jumped into a guy who was standing still so as to stop the game of basketball and shoot free throws instead of having to continue playing the game of basketball
âJumped into a guyâ he drove into a defender which is a completely normal basketball action? Not his fault Book fouled him.
He looked book dead in the eye, and then jumped directly at him, and with his shoulder into bookâs sternum, which made bookâs arms fold down and âfoul himâ.
I donât care if he does that, I just donât think that the refs should stop the game of basketball and reward him with two free throws for doing it. Let the game of basketball be played man. Why is that so difficult?
Because free throws are apart of basketball? He gets fouled and you think he shouldnât get free throws because they have to stop the game? Thats basketball đ¤Śââď¸ You clearly donât like basketball so why are you in the nba sub?
You wonât get it bro, just keep on enjoying watching free throws
Let them downvote it’s okay
Horrible call. Booker never moves his arms.
Got reviewed anyway. Not straight vertically
This is why basketball is broken. Nobody wants to see a basketball game get turned into a free throw contest on purpose because one guy âdidnât have his arms straight up in the airâ while the other guy jumped straight into him, and then threw up a hack of a shot like a clown and got rewarded with two free throws
Then stop watching it? Not like the rules have changed ffs thats basketball for you.
I didnât watch it. Because of this exact play style.
I donât even dislike SGA in the slightest yet the fact is the refs stopped the game so he could shoot free throws, as a result of him jumping into the defender, which means I wouldnât have gotten to watch basketball if I did watch this âgameâ (you can call it a game if you want, but as soon as they stop allowing people to play basketball and make everyone in the arena start watching people shoot free throws, it is no longer a basketball game to me.).
Unfortunately for me, that means that I miss the plays like the three-pointer at the start of this clip, which was awesome. I do miss seeing those kinds of plays.
The game is broken and SGA is just taking advantage of it
Gotta draw that foul. Sick basketball play.
Absolutely hilarious to comment this on a post where he hits a clutch 3 with a hand in his face first
Just because somebody can make a three doesnât mean that itâs not wasting our time when they jump into defenders to intentionally draw a foul on the very next play. We want to watch basketball, not free-throw contests
I mean, Book could have not fouled him. He was completely out of position, so we could have just laid it in for free instead.
You prefer that?
Well if it wasn’t a foul then maybe the Suns should have challenged it?
Oh, they did?
Oh, it was still ruled a foul?
Huh.
That was the clearest foul ever lol, Book whacks his arms. If he doesn’t do that, he gets can easy bucket. Not even a bad play on bookers part because SGA missed a few tonight.
