[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander connects on the 3-pointer as he has the Thunder’s last 9 points late in the 4th quarter.
Wasn’t able to find his shot throughout the game but then remembered he’s clutch and iced it lmao
Knicks gameplan was basically “idc if we win or lose, hack Shai all night”
Mike Brown and defensive schemes don’t mix lmao
Didn’t watch the post game but he definitely said some shit about free throws
blatant illegal screens help
Welcome to the NBA
Do you get this worked up when someone like Derik Queen plays basketball? Lmao
Oh i dont care about moving screens, but this sub tends to pick and choose when they care about them, just poking fun at that
It seems like they keep trying to take his MVP, but he’s had this thing sowed up for months now
Spurs fans are going to be big mad especially if they get the 1, which is looking likely schedule wise. but Wemby is literally going lock up 3-4 of these lol
For context, New York was on a 10-0 run and SGA came into the game and went off, this was the end of his little mini run to basically put the game out of reach
No we weren’t…
The fact that this is downvoted says it all about this sub. Edit:started getting upvotes i guess, so at least the majority of people can understand this sequence.
He has been awful today and been at the line a lot, but when the crunch time comes he completely takes over and win them the game.
You can hate a lot of things about the Thunder but just hating on great stretch of basketball is petty imo
hes lowkey better than mj
You on crack bro?
I thought “maybe this is an attempt to talk up the 2025 Pacers squad” but that would be at the expense of the 90’s Pacers legacy by downplaying Jordan.
Like the furthest narrative I’ve ever pushed is that Shai is peaking higher than Kobe, which I can argue, but MJ?? Would need a bit more.
You can’t really compare resumes but as far as unprovable shit I can say goes, I do think that if we got Shai and Jordan in his prime to play against each other it’d be closer than we think. You gotta go with Jordan because resume but it wouldn’t shock me if this convo gets more and more real.
There is kind of a weirdness to it, though. Like Shai gets brought up with Jordan in the media a lot but they don’t bring him up as a potential goat. I think that’s correct but it is odd. Like he plays like Jordan and may literally be similarly as good (due to time and sports science) but he’s not way better than everybody else like Jordan was and I think that matters a lot.
Let him cook and smoke.
Retired players should be compared to other retired players, enough active players to compare him to while he still plays
I hate how clutch this guy is bro wtf
Number one in the NBA in clutch points scored and clutch PPG.
If this was Wemby it would be the most upvoted post of the day, I guess he’s gonna have to beg harder if he wants to win it now lmao
For a fanbase that so adamantly pretends to not care about Wemby or the Spurs, you guys sure do talk about him a lot.
Edit: touched a nerve I guess. Can’t even enjoy a clutch highlight from SGA without bringing up Wemby lmao. Pretty sad
Kinda like how he always talks about almost sweeping OKC in the regular season? 😭
He always talks about it? Really? Do they teach you guys what words mean in Oklahoma?
I remember reading an article about how one in four adults in San Antonio are illiterate compared to one in five in Oklahoma City. You guys have to thank the rest of your awesome state for shielding you away from education discourse.
Of all people, a Texan should not be demeaning the education of other states lmao
I dont live in SA but it wouldn’t surprise me.
awesome state
That better be sarcasm
Edit: even agreeing with yall gets me downvotes. Yall really in your feelings huh 😂
I like Texas. I’m not upvoting or downvoting. It’s going to be hard to win over anyone when you support a team in the state you’re shitting on
I’m not trying to win over anyone, but I’m not gonna pretend that both Texas and Oklahoma aren’t filled with massive problems just to appease people on the internet.
Plus I’ve lived in both states for many years. I’ve earned the right to criticise em. Education sucks is dogshit in both states
Fair. It’s reddit. It really doesn’t matter.
I agree with you about how OK and TX could be so much better. Having grown up in both places, I want more for the people and state. Regardless, this all came about because you made a joke about education in Oklahoma. I threw it back to you.
The quality of education in these respective states does not mean that a comment on a basketball thread is invalid, and as long as people throw that 50th in education comment towards OKC fans, I’m going to make the same joke
Fair enough. See ya in the playoffs big dog
This is what happens when MVP season comes around. Take it in stride because it means your team and your guy are really fucking good
Thats a fair point
Is this what you all needed to see?
Even when he has an off start they are so loaded that once he actually gets on it basically a win.
There’s nothing you can do against them it’s crazy
there is but we gotta be away and you gotta hope our roleplayers are ass from 3 that still hasn’t changed lmao
You can be 7’8 with 9ft wingspan and shave your head
Why doesn’t everybody just do that, are they stupid?
The Lakers are gonna overload and zone on SGA and then the OKC role players are gonna brick their 3’s
Brother the Lakers can have 3 full time guys on SGA all they want, that defense is so ass they would still get toyed.
We need that dime to Chet posted as well
I keep tuning into the Thunders games hoping for an upset and he does this shit 😭 shai’s crazy
CPOY
I think there’s only one team in the NBA that could possibly beat OKC in a 7-game series and that’s the Spurs. None of these teams in the East are going to beat OKC.
It would be 4-0 we have the Spurs figured out 😤

Didn’t realize we traded for Draymond
Holy smokes I was kidding and they removed my comment. I guess that could be perceived as a call for violence
People here say worse things should be done to our players all the time lmao, don’t stress it
MVP easy
He was ass all night, and then he wasn’t 🤷
bro so good at midrange even his 3pt shot are two motion
MVP him.
KAT again just sitting back in the paint.
i don’t see any reason to not double this man at all times. the thunder are a mediocre shooting team . and SGA is an assassin.
Buddy scored 30 off 16 FTA and y’all just glazing his glizzy
i stopped watching games after steph got injured last year do people actually like watching sga? genuine question
