Luka foul baiting, bricking and not getting back on defense so he can bitch at the refs while SGA runs the fastbreak for an okc bucket sums up the MVP race pretty well

Even with win streak, wasn’t confident we could take OKC in a series, because their strength is our worst weakness. But did think maybe we take 1 or 2 games max.

But seeing this, yeah, imma tone that down to 0 games. Only an injury or Spurs going supersaiyan in their virginity playoffs run is going to prevent OKC from 2-peat.

Story of Luka’s career vs Shai’s. Drags a bad squad to success and gets bashed for not getting a ring. Meanwhile Shai gets bailed out when he has a bad night (rare)

[Highlights] Luka Doncic misses the 3, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the beautiful euro step and finish on Austin Reaves, and then the assist to Chet Holmgren for the floater, and Lu Dort hits the 3 after the Lakers 8th turnover in the 1st quarter. Thunder up 16.
