misdreavusval | Mavericks

obviously not. the point is that shai doesnt turn it over for a high usage guard, is a good off ball defender and still is a solid offensive player at his worst so that cant possibly be a lower floor than when jokic’s worst traits show themselves

GeneralTheSurvivor | Bulls

1 | 3 hours ago

33 fg% is definitely not a solid offensive player, and Jokic even when he shoots bad has elite playmaking.

As a Thunder fan, I don’t really care about the MVP. Shai, Jokic, Luka, and Wemby all deserve it. Whoever gets it, it’s whatever to me. I just want OKC to keep winning because I want them to have the #1 seed.

I know some people say seeding doesn’t matter, but I vehemently disagree. A big reason OKC won a title last season was because they had the #1 overall seed and were able to play game 7 vs the Nuggets and game 7 vs the Pacers in Oklahoma City.

LugNutsDort | Thunder

13 | 4 hours ago

I care about MVP and I care about the #1 seed. They also go hand in hand.

joebreezy12 | Thunder

6 | 4 hours ago

it feels like at this point however the seeding lands 1, 2, 3, 4 between okc, denver, san antonio and los angeles – that might mirror the mvp standings. all 4 guys have had insane seasons, the standings might be the “tiebreaker”

AzureAhai

4 | 4 hours ago

The most important thing was the deep bench for OKC. Denver and Pacers were beat up by game 7 while OKC’s deep bench kept them more fresh. If they played game 7s in a different location the result stays the same.

Nuggets were cooked once Aaron Gordon got injured cause he carries their defense and was basically prime Bron that series. Pacers lost steam once Haliburton went down.

3 or 4? this is his 10th game shooting under 45% this season lol. his 16th under 50%. he blows luka, brown and wemby out of the water in this regard.

I didn’t watch and only had gamecast on, but it looked like OKC was playing around. Their goal was SGA 20pts then after he checked out they were like ok now let’s play. Scary since the playoffs don’t matter for 20 pts they will only care about winning.

Very odd game. Shai was getting to shots he wanted but just couldn’t get anything to fall. Then just started chucking threes to try and shoot himself out of the slump I guess. Pretty easily the worst game I’ve seen from him in a long time. The bulls couldn’t miss from 3 for most of this game and really weren’t scared of the thunders paint protection without chet there. Then they just kind of imploded late in the third quarter

Now that we’re eliminated from the playoffs, there is now ZERO excuse for this fanbase to go to ANY home games next season. We have been long overdue for a 2024 White Sox level boycott of this organization but this fanbase is too fucking stupid and easily blinded by nostalgia that people are still willingly giving Reinsdorf your money to see shit rosters like this every season while no meaningful changes are made by the FO. Make the UC filled with empty seats, stop buying jerseys, stop watching games on CHSN. Don’t give Jerry a single CENT until he capitulates.

Wake the fuck up people. You want real change to this organization? That is how you do it.

Appropriate_Book_591

Didn’t they give Billy and GM extensions before the season? A cheap owner won’t eat that so the fans would need to stop supporting for multiple seasons if that would even help.

DisMFer | Bulls

2 | 4 hours ago

It was two years ago and there’s no word for how long.

At this point though the team is on cruise control until Jerry dies. His son “runs” the team but everyone who has an inside line has said that Jerry still controls the checkbook so Michael can’t do shit. He can’t even hire more scouts (the Bulls have the fewest in the league) because his dad thinks it’s too expensive.

Traditional_Emu3598

Efficiency nerds miss that Shai’s turnover % and 3pt% is higher than Luka in large part due to passes per game/ball control and 3 pt shots taken. Also applies to 2’s but less so

If the efficiency is somewhat close give me the guy who’s never bashful and only takes 12 shots a game. Those back breakers/ bucket when you need it are so valuable

Obviously in 2025 the efficiency wasn’t close

They all struggled in the Spurs matchups and had some rough showings against the Timberwolves whether it was in a win or a loss for example, these are two teams that matchup well with the Thunder, if the best supporting cast can’t step up their game in these difficult situations then they’re not the best supporting cast.

Unless you rate performances against the Bulls, the Pelicans and Nets more 🤷‍♂️.
