You’re not wrong. It was a brutal stretch.

There was a 2-3 minute stretch where both teams combined for something like 14 free throws and, seemingly, no field goal attempts for the last few minutes of that quarter.

It was a ridiculous number of free throws. I always assume NBA officiating will be bad, but that was out of control.

I’d assume that’s because you want your offense to gain more experience throughout the reg in general no? Like Shai will win games so why not have him sit out until needed haha

they’ve definitely been doing it all year and I get that it’s part of what makes okc a championship team, but this game was too much, I think shai had like 3fga in 12 mins of play in the 3rd

People underrate what Hartenstein brings to the offense and we are also trying to reincorporate Jdub. Portland also played some very stingy defense. I think it was just all of those factors coming together.

Spemanz92 | Thunder

Because this was his worse or second worse game of the season (between this one and the dallas game). Thats why. His floor is still a great game. Maybe Luka can hit higher highs, but SGA is just consistently amazing, barely any game you can consider bad

Luka isn’t consistent enough offensively despite his supernova performances, nor does he participate and contribute as much defensively. It could have been a conversation two years ago. It hasn’t been since the beginning of the 2024-25 season.

buddy Luka is at best average on defense and thats stretching it even after he improved this season, but calling the league leader in PPG inconsistent on offense is straight up delusion.

his last 5 games in term of points was 35 43 33 37 41, dude is already top 10 in lakers history in term of 40 point games and he joined like yesterday.

Wolf_ZBB_2005 | Thunder

5 | an hour ago

I’m comparing Luka to Shai, and in comparison to Shai, Luka isn’t as consistent. Even tonight, in what seemed like a bad game, Shai shot 50% and still took over in the fourth. He hasn’t shot under that in near three weeks. In that same time frame, Luka has had shooting performances of 35%, 38%, 47% and 42%.

I don’t consider someone averaging 35 on 47% from the field and 34% from three to be as consistent as someone averaging 32 on 54% from the field and 42% from three.

JetSky81

Luka has been consistently great on offense since his sophomore year tf u on

You don’t become 5 times first team all nba from his second year being inconsistent.

Last was the only exception when he was injured half of the season.

Wolf_ZBB_2005 | Thunder

2 | 2 hours ago

Luka is not consistent on a game to game basis to the level that Shai is. I literally accounted for his statistically great “averages” by saying, “despite his supernova performances.” He has had multiple stinkers already through 14 games played.

He has had 1 bad game this season and that was against you guys lol.

Luka has shot under 40% three times and under 42% six times. Shai has shot under 40% once, and his second lowest field goal percentage of the season is 45%. Shai is shooting 54% from the field and, before tonight, 42% from three. Luka is shooting 47.5% and 34% respectively.
