Put it on a t shirt.

One of the greats

Insane he misses 9 games and comes back this dialed

There was one point where Shai had 30 something by himself and everyone else on his team was in single digit scoring

OKC’s offense is butt ugly, especially when they roll 0s for their 3PT shooting that day

I feel like Jokic is great but definitely more of a flat-track bully than SGA

SGA is a closer Jokic seems to play like literally God when it’s easy but dip a bit under pressure

He was to start, but damn he basically got whatever he wanted after the first three or four misses.

Easily the best player on the floor and also ironically he didn’t feature in OT.

Nail in the MVP coffin that one.

Rusty? Dude was out there looking like he never left, those defensive stats were especially sharp.

Alex Caruso mvp? Mf clutched the game

Sga really better than Jokic and duka

No don’t worry, Cade is right there with them

Huh? Shai hasn’t been outplayed for the past 2 seasons.

😎

A big playing against Hartenstein/Chet double big with all-defense guards poking him all game like Dort, Caruso, Cason vs a guard playing against Braun/Hardaway. Why tf are we acting like this is a 1v1 game. If I am playing next to the OKC defense against another player with 7 year olds next to him, I’d be scoring 85 points

This sentence is too stupid to argue with

The way he’s carried this team without Chet for so long makes it hard to argue against him.

We’ve never had a co-MVP before, this could be the year we get it with Shai and the refs

That stat line is just ridiculous for a first game back. Dude’s making it look easy against the defending champs.

Nukes? Gtfo

He was straight ass in the 4th and to start the game, was on a minutes restriction, first game in a month, and he somehow still had an mvp stat line.

I mean it’s not the craziest hot take considering they won in overtime easily with him on the bench so they showed they can function pretty well without him. But yeah obviously the team with their MVP is gonna be better.

Kenny Smith is the king of trying to sound smart while somehow just showing how stupid he really is.

He better stop buyin them cause Shai’s hands are full

been snatched

Again

He does that a lot tbf lol 😂 he likes to find his footing and then will hardly miss

Mwahaha

He’s got that quiet killer mentality where he just methodically picks teams apart without any flash.

Shai was on the bench while his team won the game?

Because he was and has routinely outplayed Jokic (among others) in their head to head matchups. I’m happy the NBA as a fanbase to finally starting to wake up.

it was said a couple times the broadcast that he technically didn’t have a limits restriction but he wont be played anything 37-38 minutes+

Yeah

He is very clearly the best player in the league rn

Honestly him getting this out of the way is good. Still wasn’t terrible TS either

Cos Jokic was a lot worse so they’re looking it as a sort of head to head

Did you watch the game? Not trying to be snarky. Efficiency is certainly important but there were stretches where the Thunder went on runs entirely generated by him. Passing out of double teams, baiting double teams and driving to the basket, locking in on defense with blocks and steals. He was the only reason the Thunder were even in it.

¹²⁄₂₉ after being injured for a month isnt too bad

He wasnt great in the clutch but he was before that. Also, 1st game off a 10 game injury

YK HE GREAT WHEN THEY COME OUT WITH THEIR LAME COMMENTS👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Today, fresh off injury… but go on

Saying that like this sub doesn’t give SGA the same hell is hilarious. The difference is he’s not throwing his arms up and crying after literally every play

They gonna do that for shai too tho

Since you wanted to bring up Luka, here are his last 4 games stats (since the ASB). ¹²⁄₂₁ ¹¹⁄₁₂ FT, ⁸⁄₂₄ ⁴⁄₉ FT, ⁹⁄₂₂ ³⁄₆ FT, ¹¹⁄₂₅ ⁸⁄₁₁ FT. Oh and don’t forget to mention he bitches and complains after every single play, even if he gets the call.

The thread for that is legit on the top of this sub with thousands of upvotes, only behind the alarm and Dort, what do you mean the sub isn’t hating him? It’s gonna be at like 5k upvotes and 1k comments tomorrow.

You picked like one of the only few positive Thunder threads on this sub tn and are complaining he isn’t getting enough hate. Only thing stopping this from being an SGA hate thread is the Thunder winning.

Def an absurd Luka hate train going on rn regardless, you aren’t wrong about that

Cry about it

Finals will set another all time low viewership if OKC makes it back. Even casuals at work know he’s a foul baiter
