For his career, he’s a -4 in the playoffs, which is pretty astounding. I looked at like a dozen other stars and couldn’t even find anyone below 0.

They should start Jared McCain he’s a star

The Venn diagram of people who think this means anything and people who don’t actually watch games is a circle.

Do these people not believe in jinxes goddamn

The narrative after one loss is insane lol. I would love to see OKC lose but chill out it’s one game. If Wemby misses that 3 no one would be talking about this.

We’ll take that bum off your hands. Just attach some first round picks to the trade as well

Let the hitpieces commence

Pass. An entire article based on anonymous social media hot takes, and 100% reads like it was written by AI.

That team is beautifully designed. Sam Presti is the MVP.

Lmao

Now SGA is bad.

Basketball analysis is dead in 2026 midaswell just form your own opinion and not even share it

He’s gonna ball out tonight and everyone’s gonna look silly

I think that’s just cuz hounding him is a good strategy. I hate the guy as a player but this doesn’t mean much I think.

Shai Flopper Alexander

Oftentimes, when a great player has a bad on/off rating, it’s mostly due to the fact that their team does so well when they sit. However, most of the time, what you don’t hear, is that the team does well with that great player on the floor too.

When this happens, on/off ratings aren’t really saying anything about the player, but more about the rest of their team and the opponent.

Every post season there’s an attack on a star player. This year it’s Shai. NBA Reddit is so weird

Y’all really willing this MFer to drop 50 tonight and win by 30

He’s no Brunson

Theres a world where SGA and the Thunder stack another chip on and make the case that they’re a team for the ages. And there’s a world where a 22 year old takes their lunch money and reduces their championship to a footnote in his story

I expect a big game from him today, unfortunately

They swept two series and lost one game to a 62 win team in double overtime. Maybe relax lmao. Their bench is also very good and Ajay especially looks like a potential lead guard. 

I don’t think anyone’s denying they’d be very good without Shai but their floor and ceiling would be significantly lower. 

Yeah - I’m now expecting a 40-50pt game from SGA on efficient shooting.

The guy is MVP for a reason. Lets stop the hit pieces.

This goes hard if you know nothing about on off

On-off is the most useless stat in basketball

This is purely because our bench is one of the top 3 in the league and we have played 2 teams with no depth. This is crazy ass propaganda

He’s also played 37 minutes per game

If he’s missing about 11 minutes a game, this is a 100 minute sample size lmao

the other team plays good players when shai plays, and bad players when he doesn’t. Okc’s bad players are a lot better than the other teams 

“Theyre constantly hounding him”

Reddit today

“Hes a FOUL MERCHANT”

Reddit tomorrow

I think this shows how flawed plus minus can be. Yeah he’s not having his best playoffs but -35.6… come on

Box score watchers are trying to say that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is bad at basketball…………………

Al Shaeda

this article seems super misleading. if you pad his stats he’s a -4.1 which is still a negative nonetheless but nowhere close to as bad as the article claims

SGA confirmed to be a bum?

-35 sounds fake.

I mean don’t get me wrong his work and production is MVP level, but much of it can’t be separated from the fact that OKC have the best formed team in the NBA.

Put Jokic or Luka in OKC and they probably look even better than what they look like now. If you put Shai in Lakers or Nuggets, I don’t know how he looks like

When the opposing teams defensive gameplan is to stop you that makes sense

Speaking of +/-, for his career, Joel Embiid is a +270 in the playoffs. (He was a +327 before that last Knicks series) With Embiid on the bench, the Sixers are a -320 for his career. A nearly 600 point swing… but yea, it’s all on him for never reaching the Conference Finals. Definitely not the front office never giving him a usable bench his entire career.

If this was The Joker or Luka ppl would be losing their minds lol not saying this stat means anything. But it’s just seems like Shai gets the most benefit of doubt as he should

lol he has a positive net rating of +14. And then it is like +40 something when he’s on the bench in like an 80 minute sample. This is more a testament to how elite the bench minutes have been, but it’s framed as being they are worse when he’s on the floor

NBAMaths Nerds are at it again lol. This just reinforces the dead Internet theory of AI bots slopping pointless numbers to get clicks

r/nba was a legitimate mistake. Absolutely full of mouth breathers who don’t actually watch games and just parrot narratives for fake internet points

How much of that is because defenses are selling hard to stop Shai and it ends up being a 5v4?

There’s no way you guys watch these games and think he’s a negative on the floor 😂. I mean you guys realize in this series in particular if hes on the floor Wemby is too. Probably the best defender of all time. Every other series he is doubled, but still makes you pay.

He plays winning basketball

Wemby with a monster +1 game tonight.

Wouldn’t his team play also effect this? If they do shit when hes on the floor cause hes getting double and its crumbling possession wouldn’t that tank his on/off?

Damn, after the Jaylen Brown slander i bet we’ll take a serious look at how we value advanced stats, right?

You could feel the pissed off sass behind a lot of his throwaway passes while being guarded in game 1.

Discourse on SGA is laughable how much of a hive mind it is. Fake hate. It consumes yall’s personality

what qualifies a qualified player? Quality or quantity?

And for that……. 3 FTs for Shai

the jaylen brown of the mvps

So yall can use this stat to shit on sga but embiid is still a playoff choker

he has imo the best defensive team ever as his supporting cast and a good coaxh so the dropoff isnt that bad when hes off the floor compared to other mvps

I’ve seen enough, SGA is clearly terrible and should just retire now. Absolutely no value thanks to this one stat

He’ll have a rebound game and do a much better job foul baiting in tonight’s game. Prepare for the return of the king.

Impressive

Wow those are Jaylen Brown numbers!

In the playoffs, the Thunder are +45.7 with SGA off. If you believe that the Thunder bench are 3-4 times better than the 96 Bulls or 16 Warriors you’re entitled to that belief

Shai for Jaxon Hayez and Dalton Knect

Refs gonna need to help him.

Yah he sucks he should totally be traded to the Raptors.

He’s matching Wembanyama minute for minute, for one thing.

Does anyone want this bum? We’ll trade him to you for free since he’s obviously terrible

LET THE HATE FLOW THRU U

Shocker his team is absolutely incredible

Just watch the games and you know this stat isn’t telling the whole story

Jaylen Brown in shambles
