All of their defense focused on stopping Shai. Dont think Shai had a bad game except for the TOs

vindictivejazz | Thunder

25 | 4 hours ago

He was a little sloppy, a little too passive, and seemed a bit rushed. Like for the average player it was a pretty good game but for SGA that was not a good showing.
Hopefully that was just a bit of rust after having like 10 days off after the first round series

roastedhambone | Thunder

Didn’t love his defensive effort either, not that he needs to be amazing in that end, but a few too many lazy close outs and ball watching off ball

It’s legit just looks like it’s hard for them to get up for the Lakers, like it’s clear to everyone who has watched these two teams play that it’s an extreme mismatch & the players know that more than anyone.

Shai could miss the rest of the series & I think most people would still pick Thunder in 5 if they’re being generous.

xX_WeedGang_Xx | USA

In the first half he seemed to want to start the offense quickly in order to counter the aggressive defense but really it just ended in him charging into three bodies and turning the ball over. He was a much better facilitator and was more patient in the second half. I don’t expect the Lakers double teams to work as well going forward if they send the same pressure.

Averages 33 across the league. This is a series and he’s not averaging 33 against this team

How many minutes as he played) u said 16 ppg. So how many games and how many minutes? It’s a question can u answer or u don’t want too lol. And go back to previous years like last year were he killed yall or past postseason appearances why do u only bring up this one season where he missed games against OKC? Hmmmm I’ve asked twice now u haven’t answered. Don’t talk about reading comprehension when you failed twice to answer my question

I didn’t say anything about 16 ppg. Try reading usernames before you reply to people.

And nobody cares about past seasons. All that matters is this season. Teams change players. Players improve/regress in skills, effort, and IQ. All that matters is what he can do against OKC as they are this season.

then in the 2nd half luka aggravated it even more to the injury it is now and had to come out

LeBron. A threat on offense, a threat on defense, and a threat at making EVERYBODY on the team look better instead of just the lob threats

If Luka has an off shooting night, you can’t bet on him to be a threat anywhere else on the floor except maybe the passing lane if he decides to put in the effort that night

sbenfsonwFFiF

LeBron is chronically hurt and 41. He still had a better game

Besides, “I’m hurt” doesn’t mean shit in the post season and is a common go-to for Luka not delivering in big moments. If you’re good to play, you have to deliver

Edit - downvotes don’t change the history. Did “I’m hurt” get him a chip against Boston? Did “I’m hurt” help his MVP chances after the last OKC game he played? Maybe you guys can give him a Reddit championship, because the league doesn’t GAF

I don’t think Luka coming back will change the outcome, but theoretically he could come back for Game 4, which is interesting on paper. OKC could go up 3-0 and Lakers add an MVP candidate to their squad…

Of course, I know it won’t matter to the result, but it is interesting.
