Shai on telling Jared McCain to calm down: “Jared was yelling at me while I was shooting, and I was just like bro, I’m shooting, don’t distract me.”
McCain really was shouting “im open” when Shai was getting into his signature jumper on the left side of the court
And that was like his third attempt at the shot I knew he woulda been pissed if that missed
He’s about to pull a Chad Johnson and call Shai at 4 in the morning and just say “I’m open” and hang up
LOVE THE ENERGY 😭😂 Hate the team
It’s McCain’s first deep playoff run and he’s getting starter quality minutes, I imagine he’s nervous as fuck on the court lol
He seems a lot more confident than Joe and Wiggins
He’s yelling at the MVP that he wants the ball, I think he’s confident lol
I think he’s more eager than nervous.
You could see his excitement when he ran the 2 on 1 fast break oop to Dub
he not nervous at all lmao. he literally yelling at the ball, took 14 shots even if he missed hella first 3 quarters, and playing with high energy.
He’s famous for dancing for millions of views on TikTok while being a dude that wears nail polish in the NBA I feel like he might have more life confidence than anyone
i mean yeah, a shit ton of people dislike it and call him gay for it i’m sure you’re really confident in yourself if that doesn’t change you
not saying there’s anything wrong with it, but most people care a lot about public perception even if they don’t want to admit it
what takes more confidence: shooting a ball in a hoop in the playoffs, or wearing nail polish and posting it to your social media.
regardless, this dude is a killer. doesn’t give a fuck about what others think of him
For real dude lives for the camera being on him
Hes been amped as hell out there. The look in his eyes the whole time has been crazy lol
He doesn’t look like it. Dude is always smiling and has no problem shooting or handling the ball.
He’s got some trouble on the dribble
Lmao he seemed so pissed about it in the moment. Honestly still seems kinda ticked off about it in this clip. But Jared’s first post season run as a young player so he’ll get better with it lol
Also don’t think he’s got a ton of playing time with Shai (all things considered) to understand that Shai is taking that shot 100% of the time
He should be watching team tape, no? Or at least on the bench while SGA is playing
too busy painting his nails and shaking that ass on tiktok
/s
I love how you put /s and still got downvoted 😂
Lol he does seem pissed. Love Jared tho, take care of our boy!
Nah Mccain was going for a 20 ball the way he was shooting it. Daryl morey is so COOKED
SGA’s mid range is so fucking clean its nuts. SGA feels like he levitates for a second in air and lines it up. I love Vassel’s too, but SGA is obviously a tier higher.
He’s max amount of tiers better lol
he’s Jordan territory tbh
in terms of pure midrange shai is as good as anybody. jordan did the turnaround a lot more, same with kobe, wade had more of a footwork thing, but goddamn shai is slick
Yeah SGA took it from a post move to a shimmy and I’m here for it
I would hope people know that lol. SGA is back to back mvp and Vassell might not even be the 4th best player in the team.
I was just talking about the midrange not their game.
Vassell needs his own team, his shot is sooo pure. How many more years is left on his contract? Is up tomorrow? Because I wish it was up tomorrow lol.
If you like to watch floppers yeah it’s great and “clean”
This nga so cold man. Say what you want about his other shit but his middys are top tier. Fun asl to watch
I knew that shit was butter when he got the spot. I was unhappy lol
[deleted]
Lol why did you reply to me?
Dude what? It’s not that serious bro
Don’t show him the paolo clip
Jesus Christ bro
OMG someone saying something positive about sga
I say it all the time as a hardcore Shai hater, when you ignore the bullshit then he is without a doubt one of the most fun basketball players to watch ever. It’s part of why I hate him so much, he could’ve still been fucking awesome without any of it but does it
Lol what a miserable cunt you are
SGA is the opposite of fun to watch. That’s the why entire nation outside of OKC thinks he’s ruining basketball with this flopping antics.
Way you type says it all
no way all that flopping is fun to watch lol
Only flopping I see is the ball flopping into the bucket off of ice knife middies
you need to go to the eye doctor then brother
Your comment history 😭 I appreciate the consistency to your hating but this is a gnarly series man. Take off the hate goggles and try to enjoy it
first game was awesome, but that second game was impossible to enjoy im sorry man
Both games were equally physical lol
first game had less flops which made it more enjoyable
Only one game the rewarded the flops
Grown ass men throwing themselves to the fuckin floor and pulling hair. Real physical type shit…. You pussies are upset I’m telling the truth. Like you’re in fucking denial about what this wack ass league has become.
Bro looking like R Kelly up there
“That’s our Kelly now”
He does leave a lot of fans pissed
Tbf SGA clanked like 3 shots in a row before that
Doesn’t matter he’s the guy and he knows when McCain is open.
50% from the field
McCain had kind of an inconsistent night on the floor but I def appreciate the shots he hit
He just gets a little reckless at times when dribbling with his head down and turning it over
We really need a guy willing to just fire away we have a lot of cautious offensive players so i think he filled that role well. That super wide open one he missed felt backbreaking though
Na. He needs to shoot way more. He’s the perfect person for that team.
-10% teammate chemistry
lol this is funny 😂
I think the best part of being courtside is hearing everyone on the court. Wish there was a mic’ed up stream
This is objectively hilarious
How are his braids still fresh
He’s worth 9 figures
Wax from the court rubbing off.
✌️😭
That’s why he missed the 3 shots. The calm down makes more sense.
He gotta be more nonchalant
SGA calling everyone out lol
maybe morey was right after all
Lol
He looks like T.O. in the photo. Can’t unsee.
That’s my Quarterback
I actually love this from McCain. We have too many players that are afraid to shoot, McCain is not one of them.
you dont need to tell the guy that had a permanent double team that someones open. he knows.
theres a fairly good chance that those 2 are dating
He needs to concentrate on flopping. Jared threw his timing off. He just ended up making a regular shot and forgot to fall down. lol
SGA is so cool man
Does cool mean lame now?
Bro you’re inside take the sunglasses off
Honestly I’d wear sunglasses too lol. It’s bright af in front of all those lights and cameras. I wouldn’t want a headache after doing a presser
I hate this man
He’s so lame
This sub is going to have a meltdown when we win the series.
Not really, thunder should win the series they’re the reigning champs and have had lots of rest.
Dude, they’ve won one game and the sub is already melting down.
Overreactions everywhere. Let’s just watch these elite teams battle it out and decide who’s actually the winners lol
Legit insane to look at the front page.
5 Ihart foul compilations, autistic misunderstanding of Shai telling a bad joke in the postgame, Ijoe flop, Wemby foul overturned.
Like, this was an incredible game how is there 0 highlights
It’s r/nba. After game one, you would have thought the Spurs beat us by 40 in a double OT game.
Also, nice username. Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette give their thanks.
Thanks 🍻. I’m not one but surprised that only an OKC fan is well-read enough to know where my username’s from. Foolish hypocrites, “b-b-but Oklahoma’s education rankings…”
Idk r/nba says the Spurs are a match up nightmare for the Thunder and the Wemby is the best player in the world so surely the Spurs are favored right?
Up until game one OKC was widely accepted on this board to blow out every team up until holding the trophy. It’s exciting to see Wemby show up the way he did game one, of course it got a lot of attention.
Plenty of people on reddit favored the Spurs, often citing their regular season record vs the Thunder.
I think we can all agree the spurs have the advantage in this match up.
Well, not anymore, unless Fox comes back within next 2 games. Otherwise all the PG duty is on Castle and he has to defend SGA on other end. Doing one of these is a tall task, but doing both is nearly impossible.
depends on if the thunder continue playing this dirty bitchy brand of basketball
Lame ass TikTok opinion
TikTok lol, I watched that floppy ass trash live
Who told you to have that opinion?
[removed]
Flair up
Duke basketball isnt an option
Being a Duke tshirt fan doesn’t count
that coming from anybody but you would have been funny
Why would they stop?
because nobody likes to watch that shit
turn it off homie
don’t distract me while i’m trying to draw this foul
Fuck you Shai, no one cares
Someone please post the play where SGA yanks on Castles arm like he did to Reaves. It was in the 4th on a drive to the rim. This Thunder team is dirty. I honestly think they’re coached to flop and toe the line on dirty plays. Chet stepping on Wembys foot preventing him from jumping. SGA hooking Castles arms. IHart holding Wembys arms preventing him from jumping. I’ve seen dirty players. Never seen a dirty team. I guess they’re the bad boy Thunders. But they flop as well. I didn’t mentions the play IHart pulls on Castles hair. Yall Thunder fans are wild for defending some of these plays.
Oh my god
What? Are you saying those dirty plays didn’t happen?
Lakers fans not being dramatic challenge. Impossible.
Thunder fans not defending dirty plays challenge.
I remember when Kobe Bryant’s elbowed Mike Bibby, and got free throws. I don’t wanna hear from a Lakers fan that’s nothing but bitter
Two wrongs make a right ok. What does Kobe have anything to do with today’s game. Hahaha
