Move aside Shai, there’s a new record in town to chase

How many does Wilt have?

I love that he didn’t seem like he was gonna challenge that last call until Shai insisted on it. That trust between you as the coach and your star player feels so nice as a spectator.

“The call on the floor seemed to be accurate

HOWEVER,

Mark Daigneault wins the challenge. Two FTs for Shai”

Bill Kennedy my king I miss you

He is statpadding

I’ve been watching that for 4 years

story of his career in orlando tbh

if you look at the on/offs on lineups where paolo has 3 even decent shooters on the court with him, they’re nutty

Could literally be a less athletic but stronger version of jalen johnson but nah. The team wanna brick

I see what you did there

Carushoe

At the end of the first half it was pretty brutal and ugly. And then second half he just dominated.

Can never judge a Shai game till the second half is over

First half all he does is play defense and pass to get guys involved

Second half he says okay im rested enough and you guys had fun now its my turn

Look at the thread posted about him less than 24 hours ago lol

Bunch of lunatics

Never understood the hate.

Not really he’s rated perfectly fine. Hes had a great stretch post ASB but if you look at his season, it’s not great

I hope he continues whatever he’s been doing though cus it’s working

Ok but he’s getting paid 240 million over the next 5 years after this year, unless he improves thats a huge overpay.

i believe he had 28 points in the 2nd half and was incredibly efficient because his 1st half was a little meh

The shit he’s been doing for the past 4 seasons is otherwordly. How many times have you watched a game only to check the boxscore in late 3rd and see SGA have 5-10 more points than you thought he had?

Moe Wagner a -28 in 12 minutes is even more impressive

Bricked two ridiculously thirsty 3s in one possession at the start of the 2nd half. Got dragged 2 minutes later and didn’t see the floor again.

Another user pointed it out after our last game, Mark is becoming much more comfortable just benching Dort if he doesn’t have it. Will be interesting to see the rotation if we ever get fully healthy this year

He’s been fucking ass

Lu Dort is my favorite player. I have a “wall of Dort” rookie cards lol

Dort was a key player in last year’s championship run. This year, Wallace has stepped up his defensive game and I think Dort is gonna be a cap casualty

I just don’t know how you can justify playing him over Joe and McCain come playoff time

Literally Hitler Satan

i play a fun game. i like to find the last time dort shot over 50% in a game. he almost never does 

Dynasty starts after him type player

Lucifer has aura. This is Lugnutz Dort

Who in their right mind expected the eastern playoff race to be so crazy 6 weeks ago??

He is 100% gone in the summer to pay others

Last two games he’s been absolute hot dog water. Literally look like a different team when he’s not in. 

Genuinely though. Like wtf happened. There can;t be many worse championship hangovers. He legitimately may have done little to no training on his shot over the summer. Like if he did he probably would have got back to what he shot for TWO YEARS. Instead he has been shooting 7% worse from 3 than he has for the last two seasons. Insane.

Going to lose his playoff minutes for sure this year if he can’t find it again. I don’t think they Joe him but limit to 15-18min. He would need to play lock down defense because he is not scoring better than Jalen and Ajay, Caruso and Wallace better energy, the better shooters McCain and Joe.

Rob Pelinka unfortunately has other plans

Bah gawd that’s Chicago’s music

Put him in the Cavs division to give Mitchell a permanent cell in the Dorture Chamber.

You dont want him on another team, he’ll crash straight into sga’s knees

His rebounding has taken a leap. It hasn’t been automatic that we get crushed on the glass when he is the lone big recently.

Suggs is a really underrated defender against guards, he’s as good as they come

At the KIA Center it’s not unusual to hear chants for the Knicks, Celtics, Lakers, Warriors, Thunder, Heat, etc.

I heard it too! Crazy how it looked like the entire upper dome was completely empty.

yup that stood out, looks like caruso and cason are just good enought defensively and much better offensive players.

He’s always been at least a little overrated defensively but was still well above average until this season. Not even trying anymore, I will cry if Pelinka signs him this summer

Won’t happen. He will win us an important playoff game tho. Before he gets traded.

His +- is usually among the top 3 on the team lol one game does not mean anything

We usually have issues with his archetype. Dub is really good at guarding up and we miss him in these matchups especially.

While down 9 with :15 left. Ridiculous.

chet could have dribbled out the clock instead went up for a dunk

That’s what happens when you have arguably the best player in the world on a team.

There wasn’t much to be embarrassed about tonight. Competed right to the end against the best team in the NBA down Franz and AB.

Its literally just Shai

Does point differential help with tie breakers?

Ever heard of play until the final buzzer?

Idiotic take.

because chet tried to show them up

Bane said screw your line. Put it on bad beats

I think the spread was 9.5 or 10.5 so that ending was legitimately hilarious.

yes, this clinched it

Oof

Oh no, it does matter. Lucifer Dort strikes again…

I’m pretty sure the FO will stick by him. Injuries like his usually take about a year back in the sport following rehab to get back to a level the player was at before. I’ve always expected to have to wait until the start of next season to see how he really is

Its a little concerning but basketball is a game of runs and nowadays 10-15 point leads are really nothing.
