[Highlight] The Spurs run a double at SGA, who snaps it to Caruso flashing in the paint. Caruso immediately redirects it to Jaylin Williams in the corner for his fourth 3 pointer of the half
How is the entire bench capable of hitting shots
This shit is news to us. J-mac gotta be teaching em atp. Cause everyone shot like dog ass except for Joe in the reg season.
Actually I thought J-Will had a pretty good percentage this season too?
He was shooting 50% for a month and a half or so, went cold leading into the playoffs, was average in the first 2 series
Capable of getting hot though and he’s got the one motion high catch
He’s a god at the straightaway trailing 3
Yeah he was nasty mid season. Same for Joe, who isn’t even seeing many minutes. Give us Joe and McCain on the floor to make them sweat.
When he was a starter he was shooting lights out. You don’t want to see his splits before then. I’m pretty sure it started with a 2
JWill has always been a decent shooter tbf, but yeah, Caruso and Cason suddenly shooting decently after their horrendous regular season is funny.
JWill is a significantly better shooter than he was his first 3 years in the league. He’s hesitating way less and seems to have quickened his release as well
Yeah he’s improved every year and has shown he’s deserving of the minutes. I was always wary everytime he’s the sole center out in the court for his first few years but he’s been good this year.
Caruso always rises in the playoffs. Not surprised Cason is either kids an absolute dog
We just have so many role players who can step up. Someone said Caruso wasn’t going to score 31 again which is true but we also have the potential to have one of any other 5 guys off the bench to do so. The depth is going to be the difference maker in this series. Spurs starters are absolutely gassed and it’s only game 3.
This legit feels like championship experience manifesting. Last two years we were horrible at outside shooting but it just feels different this year
Yeah i thought thunder would be in trouble without jdub because how they played last year but this might be the deepest team ever. McCain is such a great get
It really tends to be an all-or-nothing kind of thing though, with no way of knowing what kind of night we can expect.
Hiring the GOAT shooting coach does that. Funnily enough dude was from SAS.
Beautiful basketball idc how much ppl complain
Both of these teams are god tier. Feel bad for the haters.
i could never hate the spurs so this was my dream matchup. and it’s living up to the hype
16 Warriors. Last years Nuggets. This years Spurs. The most stressful series are the most rewarding.
I’ve been saying this is the best basketball the NBA has seen in a decade
From both OKC and the Spurs btw
That’s some peak Tim Duncan spurs shit funnily enough.
It’s the contrast of incredible basketball that makes the bad stuff feel so much worse.
It’s beautiful if it’s like this. I have no issues. The constant flopping however, that’s a different story.
Stop watching highlight reels lol. Most teams flop. There wasn’t a problem with OKC before they became good
This thread is obviously filled with OKC fans. I understand that, I am so sorry if I hurt you in any way.
What are you talking about. If anything you’re whining
Lol im a pelicans fan but i like okc tho
This mf SGA did not have this pass bag last year wtf
Again hes taken multiple leaps this season but guys are too blinded by the hate
Fr he legit better than last year. His three ball last year wasn’t anywhere near as reliable as it was for him this year.
He’s way better than last year
I mean his games also start later, so they’re harder to catch
He figured it out against the Nuggets zone defense last year.
Adleman my MVP for teaching Shai how to beat a double
Gotta give love to Kidd for taking OKc to town with the Dallas zone and getting them to drop the 5 out spacing gimmick.
Nuggets and Pacers series were the start. Forced him to grow as a passer.
Yes bro thank you. His numbers aren’t as good but god damn… he uses his gravity to better the team.
Dub transferred his talents to JWill for this game
Twin… where have you been?
nobody love me like you do
take my energy
They did a fusion dance before the game
Goten + Trunks = Gotenks
Jalen Williams + Jaylin Williams = ?
Jaylen Williams
Will Jaylens
William Jaylens
S-tier pass
Seriously. Seeing it real time I thought he lost the ball and it was going out of bounds. Caruso is a dawg
Didn’t know JWills release could be that fast
I think the no dip 3s are new this year, he must have worked on them over the summer
Pls teach this to Chet
His 3 attempt that got blocked this game was soooooo slow. The defender got like 4 steps from when he started pulling up and hadn’t even left his hand by the time he got blocked.
Made it look waaay easier than it actually is
Shai is so underrated as a facilitator you can’t run no coverages on this man to stop him from generating buckets for his team
He had 6 assists before he even scored today he was taking what they were giving and they wanted to go down the anybody but you route again
Exactly. His scoring is down but everyone else is feasting
Man this was a sick play
Yeah I got hyped on this one. Nothing fancy, just good basketball
Kuroko type pass
Had to go too far down to find this. First thing I thought that was so fucking fast in real time
Unwatchable
HIGH IQ BASKETBALL HERE LADS. But were more concerned about flopping
JWill has one of the fastest releases on the team. I still think he and Chet should work together so Chet’s shot doesn’t take approximately seven business days to develop
Spurs have had a wall from the free throw line extended on Shai. They are basically running an inverted triangle and 1 on him.
The Bulls are enemy #1 for giving Caruso to the Thunder.
High school coaches all over the country fanning themselves after watching that.
r/nba tell me why I should hate this, quick
The hoops are unethical and the ghost of Haliburtom will smite us.
But no the refsss
The real J. Williams
Watching that live I thought Caruso tapped it
Made quick work out of that zone lol
That release was quick as fck
Caruso’s touch passes will never get old
That was pretty nice
“literally unwatchable”
Good I love Jwill
Mf Caruso looking like kuroko
I hate that this is so good.
Thunder so deep and talented. I hope we can come back though. Need our bench to step up.
OKC’s bench might be the best bench in NBA history
Yep. It’s actually ridiculous how many good players we have. And we only have to play them in short bursts so they stay fresh
Refs helped him make that pass
They’re so good
Damn. OKC coming back hard after that game 1 loss…..
KD would’ve fumbled that pass
Fucking sexy ass pass
Wow. Next man up at all times with that team.
What awful basketball.
No “dip” 3 point shot. Incredible focus.
That pass was unreal.
Can’t believe the ref made that pass to J Will
Thunder looking pretty, pretty good.
If Jokic did this it’d have 329,856 karma points but r/nba is bum-made.
