[Highlight] SGA reaches 20 points to extend the streak to 128 with just over a minute left in the game
i see a cold basket over a fellow rival at his position but losers that are so miserable are gonna say it’s a statpad lol
13 point lead with 2 minutes left? I might just have Pacers ptsd but that’s not the safest lead in the world. Certainly wouldn’t be pulling my starters prior to that bucket. Anyone calling statpad hasn’t watched a game in the past 3 years.
it’s not a statpad and Ant and the rest of the starters being in proves it’s not.
And Wilt was the biggest statpadder of all time so I’d be fine with SGA doing the same if he wanted too
They’re losing
you get mad at the toilet paper when you get shit on your hand. just be better. effort.
Wut
don’t listen to him, be one with the shit
Personally idc if it’s a stat pad or not, it’s a sick record and there’s nothing wrong with trying to extend it.
But, do you truly honestly believe 1. The game wasn’t actually over AND 2. He subs out and doesn’t stay in to get 20 if someone else made that shot?
Anyone who is non bias can see that he was only in the game to get the 20. Love SGA and I have no problems with him stat padding to keep the streak alive, but he absolutely did stat padding this game
100%, super obvious. Like I said, nothing wrong with it, idk why people are blatantly lying lol.
Yeah I’m not really sure either it was pretty obvious. I mean as thunder fans we have a huge bias so it makes sense why ppl are defending it, but I have no idea why anyone else would say anything different lmao
Because the wolves had all their starters in and games have been lost with a lead of that size and that much time left
nah, the question was ‘do you think SGA would have subbed out with less than 20 if someone else had hit the shot he hit to push the lead to 15’. You can’t seriously believe the answer is yes lol
Games over 999⁄1000 times and yes he would’ve been benched if he had 30 by now
Also the wolves still had their starters in lol
I can’t really hate players for trying to statpad, I thought Bam did the right thing, I thought Luka should have tried to get that 50 point triple double, but lets be honest, this is a statpad. And I remember watching the Houston game where he was terrible but stayed in for extra minutes up 10-20-30 whatever against garbage time players to get to 20 like a month or 2 ago. It happens, I don’t think its possible to get stats like this in a normal way. We know Wilt was THE statpadder anyway
but lets be honest, this is a statpad.
for me, if the opposing coach hasn’t pulled their starters yet, that means they’re still trying to win. so i wouldn’t call this statpadding
Agreed it was a stat padding game
Some statpading is worse than others. For example, LeBron getting his stats at the cost of the game and then celebrating his “milestone” after his team just got ass wooped is the most disgusting thing to watch.
So what was Lebron’s passing up the streak to hit Rui for the 3? The complete opposite would have to be the most beautiful thing in contrast, huh?
He’s never done this 😂
He did literally last week. KAJ milestone, got ass whooped by Denver. Last year, 40k points, ass whooped by Denver again. I can keep going.
If you’re talking about last weeks game against denver, the man had a very efficient night where he didn’t turn the ball over and only took 11 shots. I think you’re just a hater bro lol
Also we did not get our ass whooped that game, it was a close game that we let slip at the end and won the run back a week later while lebron played unselfish, team ball - LITERALLY DIVING TO THE FLOOR TO GET A LOOSE BALL
Where & when did that happen
Literally last week. When he passed KAJ fieldgoal record, but got his ass whooped by Denver…
Where was the stat padding?? LOL
Watch the game, not highlights only, and you might stop asking dumb questions.
What? YOU watch the game, and you wouldn’t be saying this nonsense lol- you’d see the obvious fact that I said in my other comment
And even in highlights, you can see the point in the game when it happened
No, that was (like I said at the time), yet another infamous example of LeBron getting beat when getting an all time record or rising up the scoring list, like has been the case the last couple / few years - not stat padding .. it was games where it was guaranteed he was going to hit the mark, and almost always did way before the end of the game .. it’s just by the end of the game, he would get beat - as he was near 40, and now over 40
“Statpading” even existing as concept is next level salty.
It’s basically just saying “you kept playing basketball the entire time during a basketball game.”
Yea Timberwolves starters still on the court and the lead is still losable even if the odds are low; this is objectively not a stat pad.
I also see a gigantic push off. No one else care about those anymore?
Everyone pushes off to get separation. It’s just part of the game these days and is usually not called
It really looked like the streak was in danger but he heated up at just the right time to put the Wolves away with McCain and Mitchell. Too many goddamn weapons, Shai can have an awful game for his standards and the Thunder still blow out the Wolves. Sam Presti’s brain should be kept in a jar like Einsteins in the future.
OKC basically looked at the three-guard hydra of the Spurs and decided that they need a version of it too. It’s going to be a tough slug if both teams are to meet in the postseason.
I need that series to go to 7 please and thank you
Pls no
Pls yes
That series would feed Sub-Saharan Africa
I beg no please
Pls spurs in 4. Ty for your attention to this
How about going to 4 games but they’re at least close
Monkey paw
Nooooo!
I would love to see the Spurs sweep OKC
Spurs going 4-0 on the thunder would be fun! You’re right!
Lucky for Shai he has experience of being a head in a 3-guard hydra
Miss u cp3 and dennis
That was such a fun team
Spurs kinda doing the same thing. They’ve been finding good perimeter defenders and guys that can handle the ball and make plays at every position
I mean Einsteins brain was sold and given away in bits and pieces, according to the biography
Maybe if I send a piece of Presti’s brain back in time to the Nuggets of 2018, they can do something with it and make us a dynasty too
Good comparison since Tesla was the genius
Tbf the wolves have been pretty weak
He wasn’t even chucking for it. Told his team to pass to Chet for a lob instead of an easy open shot for him.
This dude is generational. Haters are missing out.
Lol
I find the foul baiting annoying BUT the rest of his game is so amazing to watch I can easily overlook that. Such a fun player.
Ok.
Ant been stinky on defense all year but wants to tryhard against SGA sure dude
That’s exactly the type of guy he is lmao being a vibes player is a double-edged sword
When he locks in , he’s scary. As a Thunder fan I feel like we only ever see him like this
He hasn’t been that good offensively against us thankfully. Was glad we didn’t get the version of him that destroys Denver when we were in the playoffs last year.
He wants to prove something against Shai so bad 😭
god forbid he wants to play well against the best in the game i guess? you guys are weird
Most Redditors have no concept of human interaction cuz they’re losers, wanting to measure up against the best player itw is normal
Yeah, Id rather have someone that plays better vs good playets that somoene that just plays well against bad teams.
Ant cares more about measuring up to great opponents that almost everyone else in the league, this is discussed all the time. Don’t call other ppl losers just cuz you’re too dumb to understand that how Ant acts is different to how someone like Shai or Steph or KD typically acts
Yeah I feel like that’s exactly what NBA fans should want lol why wouldn’t guys wanna get up for matchups with their competition
Yeah no shit Sherlock. Would you rather him just lay down?
Dude has never played competitive sports in his life lol
Would you rather he lay over? wtf do you expect him to do? not try to prove something against the MVP/champions?? 😭😭😭
how dare he try in a professional basketball game!
Yeah, because he’s a rival. What a weird comment.
Criticize him for his effort in other games but are we really gonna hate a competitor for competing against the best players. Any star player ever should absolutely lock the fuck in against their competition.
Maybe his team wouldn’t be fighting to stay out of the play in if he gave a shit in other games
Hey it worked lol, almost ended Shai’s streak. Took him statpadding late to drop 20 on 22 shots. Meanwhile he didn’t guard Ant one time
Loved seeing him look to guard Shai every chance he got. Too bad both players shot terribly but should be a fun playoff matchup.
Super Shaiyan jumper
Gonna start calling him super shaiyan when he gets hot
Shouldn’t have fouled him Ant!
“How could the refs do this to us” Finch
Helping his friend sga out
He wanted to make him actually earn it for once since the whistle is infamously always a given anyways
mouthbreather comment
The chess speaks for itself
Shut up, Doris
Dude she’s fucking terrible
Like fucking hell the glazing is insane. Doris needs to be replaced.
They are working on it. She’s already been demoted this year. But good lord. Just awful.
Stg I thought I was the only one that didn’t like Doris
Bro played in a 13 point game till 2 minutes left and then checks out and yall wanna just cry lol. He didn’t force anything in the 4th and hit 70% of his shots in the 4th.
Only played 33 minutes and still had 20 points with 10 assists
Such a weird way to frame it. 33 minutes is normal. 20 pts on 22 attempt and 5 free throws is bad, but that’s OK. He can have bad games.
Guys you didn’t care enough to read my other comment where I said this was one of the worst shooting performances of his life.
Also said the first half was probably his worst half ever.
The 2nd half adjustments and grinding it out was impressive
Is 20 points and 10 assists impressive for 33 minutes of gameplay?
i think it’s impressive in the context of that being considered one of sga’s worst games this season.
I think any 10 assist game is impressive. You rely on teammates to make the buckets.
It absolutely is when that’s your worst game of the season, and you turn it on in the 4th even after having a terrible game before then
Not saying it’s impressive just that he was on the floor less than he typically is
He had a bad day shooting no doubt and probably the worst first half he has ever had but still contributed with his assists and defense
Ya’ll love playing the victim stfu lmao
So far, no one is complaining but Thunder fans saying people are complaining.
Lol theres complaints you just weren’t there while the game was actually happening. Where bitching about the comments during the game not after.
anyone who thinks this is stat pad is actually braindead, watch the game. he made like every shot and wasn’t forcing shots like bam did. if he was stat padding he would of been just chucking shots without passing
if he was forcing to get 20, he would of probably finished this game with like 30 ngl
Only had like 6 fouls too. He clutched it in the 4rth.
Bam stays catching strays lol
That’s what the greats have to deal with everyday
It becomes exhausting.
Also, getting to 20 is a little different than scoring 83 lol no one can reach 83 without statpadding to an extent
You’re telling that to a thunder fan.
I’m happy for Bam, in my view, it’s always the defenders fault and not the attackers for abusing a bad defense as they should. If you don’t want to get scored on learn how to defend. And also who cares if it’s not natural or whatever, if you’re close to something you won’t just quit because you’re forcing, forcing is the whole point in order to break records. I’m just saying you and Bam will have to deal with it just like us thunder fan have been with SGA
Duh, that Heat Wizards game wasn’t a real game
Give me all of your salt LMAO
Wemby says he cares and wants to win mvp and dpoy and is glazed, SGA kept his streak alive by hitting a great shot with a foul and suddenly it’s lame to care lol
For real, that was such a tough shot and it was definitely a foul.
They’ll turn on Wemby soon enough, and then they’ll claim they never liked him. It’s the way of the world
Wemby: “Mamba Mentality” SGA: “Stat padder”
The only things unavoidable in this life are death, taxes, and 20 points from SGA
20 free throws
I’m glad he kept the streak going. Wolves are whatever.
He… he had 5 free throws… thats nothing crazy lmao
And a 13 point lead with 2min left hasn’t been safe in years. Both teams starters are still out there. Who is bitching about this lmao.
Now doris on the other hand
My two favorite players going at it this is so peak
Same, Joe vs Jmac is so good
Y’all really thought he didn’t care about the record, of course he does, the new generation is really passionate about getting records. Not only is it human nature, they also wanna show they are better than the older generations.
Only Doris thought that
does anybody like doris? feel like every fanbase hates her. can’t understand for the life of me why she’s still employed
There is a small % of people that do in fact somehow like her. But she is definitely one of the most hated announcers of all time; my 76 year old mother who was a kindergarten teacher and loves everyone HATES Doris lol.
I think she’ll eventually get the axe, probably has a contract they’ll let play out.
DEI
lol at the DEI bish who downvoted this infamous blatant undeniable fact - Dorris, that you?
Y’all really thought he didn’t care about the record,
Considering he already did this type of statpadding in other games, I don’t know how anyone can think that tbh. People must not be watching. The rockets game 1 or 2 months ago was a clear example of this.
Pathetic clowns who just can’t wait to hate will say he was “statpadding”. Watch the game.
What’s your point exactly?
Shai was telling people not to pass to him lmao
He wants it to die so he can just play ball
I despise the Thunder. Love the Spurs. BUT, noone is beating OKC in a 7-game series. Sucks to admit.
Spurs looking scary.
Yeah, im definitely impressed. I worry about Castle’s turnovers, our inability to shoot and defend the 3. OKC just has so many weapons. Especially adding McCain.
Luka Mavs
Not the same okc
SGA is Anthony Edwards father
LET’S GO
Ant at 19 points:
Doris Burke: “The basketball gods curse you! You are NOT beloved”
Dorris Burke getting worse?
Doris Burke is the corniest woman alive.
Clippers traded a title away for Pandemic poop
No they didn’t
Damn that one was close 😰
I think we all, at times, get wrapped up in bullshit about how this or that former player would average 40 a game today that we forget how special it is to even average 20 points a game.
“Faster pace. No hand checking. Blah blah blah.”
No player NOW is close to 40. No one even at 33. Two above 30.
What SGA is doing is obviously not normal.
Probably going to win MVP again. OKC has to be the favorite to win another title.
If he does win another MVP and does win another title, he’d cap off one of the greatest two-year stretches in team sports history.
I genuinely can’t stand listening to her, I actually feel bad at this point.
Don’t think he Bam’d this one.
Man, he got the record. Are we going to keep updating this 20 point game streak every game?
Shakey at half!
Holy shit bro I would pay money at this point to never hear Doris speak again.
Do we have to keep hearing about this non-record record after every game?
Show us the live play and reaction. Not the replay
I love this fucking dude.
With a push off into a jumper
There’s no reason for Shai to be in the game up 15 with 1 minute left, he’s just stat padding! This is a disgrace to the integrity of the game and it’s unethical basketball! Oh, the humanity!
Stat chasing?
Another classic drive and push off with the right arm with no call.
shameless statpadder try his hardest while up 15 with less than 2 minutes to go, fuck off
Why are we talking about basketball gods. This dude is one of, if not THE most unethical hooper of all time. Basketball gods should be punishing him
I better be seeing the same hate on this that we saw on Bam lol (sarcasm but not rlly yk)
Exactly be clearly wanted the streak pretending otherwise is crazy. Shai is one of the greatest guards ever but I know what I saw lol
Bro the cries of stat padding is now over, the 83 point game opened that flood gate. Also Min still have their starting 5 on the floor so that’s fair game.
Luka and Jokic gets blasted on here on a nightly basis for ‘stat padding’ then when Shai does it he is praised. Golden boy of the nba
7⁄22 from the FG should reset the counter. Now I’m curious how often Wilt shot less than 50% during his streak.
Who’s zestier, SGA, or J Williams? <— and is that a trick question? Which J Williams? ;)
Embarrassing to stat chase like that when you’re already the front runner for mvp lol dude cares too much about his image
[deleted]
😂so what? we were winning and this is such a big deal
Then immediately checks out
Stat padding against the other teams starters smh
Along with the Wolves starters bc he just iced the game
On terrible efficiency. Ant locked him down
And got outscored by SGA. Despite getting twice as many free throws and shooting them like prime Shaq.
True, and it definitely helped them as they only lost by 13.
We need a points per push off advanced stat in this league
What a stat paddeer, worse then LeBron
There you are baby boy, flairless, hiding your post history.
That’s such an incredibly obvious push off
if that’s not clutch, then i don’t know what is
“In the NBA, clutch time is officially defined as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime, with a score differential of five points or less.“
LFG. MVP voters will look at this two weeks from now and forget how poorly he shot and just see the W and 20 point streak being extended
Lmao the first post in your profile sure is something. I don’t even have to roast you.
I have 3k on Shai winning mvp. I’m rooting for him and the thunder
will that solve your penis problem?
Maybe in a way? I bought at 88% odds so the payout is whatever. I wanna make a bit more before I get fillers done at the end of the year
I retract my statement, you sir have an amazing penis and it’s perfect, the big ones hurt.
What a dumb pointless streak to follow. This team is unbearable.
Would be more impressive if he wasn’t living at the free throw line for shitty fouls. Wilt did it better
Edit: fuck off loser lol
