Lakers didn’t have an answer for…well the Thunder as a whole after a slow start to the 1st quarter but they especially had nothing to respond to with Honest Abe’s four (times six) score and seven (teen field goals) double-double.

His 3pt shot has gotten so reliable

Yea im not sure what he changed but about a month or 2 ago they just started leaving his hand different. He has a pretty feathery touch on it. Still a bit slow but much faster than when he started.

Much faster than last season. He got blocked so much on the perimeter. It was so infuriating

He still dont understand how any one but wemby can block him on his shot. Dude is like 7’2” or 3

He releases it pretty low and slow

That buzzer beater he made against Phoenix in Game 1 was perfect. Speed obviously had to be quicker but with the contest it felt like his arc was higher on that shot too.

He also cut down on them pump fake 3’s. He used to pump fake a lot then shoot the spot up 3. He just kinda lets them fly now and it’s so much better

He has gotten healthy, he mentioned it in a video. I can’t find it or I would post it.

He broke his hip last year, even if he was healthy enough to play, I think that still limits you for a few months at least

He gets so much more arc on the ball now, he’s clearly worked on his shot mechanics. His 3 ball was so flat in last year’s playoffs.

I’ve been saying so long, he’s made a quiet leap but no one’s paying attention. If his peak is even 50% of Wemby that is Sga and wemby lite on the same team.

Also this is the healthiest he’s been since his rookie year. He said in an interview he was still in pain from the hip injury in the playoffs, and he had trouble getting out of bed. So he was healed but still in pain after playing. That’s why at the end of the season he didn’t play b2b and why after a couple of days he looked his best. That’s also why his shot fell off because he had no legs.

Chet’s peak is well more than 50% Wemby

but ultimately their careers will be defined by health issues, or lack of them. Whichever stays healthy longer will be the one who is remembered more.

I’d rather have this game from Chet than have “goaltend my way to a triple double in a loss” Wemby.

Let’s not cope, Wemby’s looking like he’s a year or two away from being the best player on earth.

Chet’s still great though, and tbh underrated I think because of the Wemby rivalry.

Lol no shit, you’d rather have one of Chet’s best games over one of Wemby’s worst? Groundbreaking take.

They wanted to triple team shai. Seemed the game plan was any body but shai.

He is playing better basketball than Victor right now, it’s insane he’s the 2nd best player on the team.
