Most of shais answers have been very normal, ppl just hear what they want to hear.

Because the eye test says that these Spurs beat both teams mentioned, even though they don’t have the track record at all to prove that to be true.

Shai has legitimately played so poorly that he’s a considerable negative in plus minus, while the bench is blatantly positive even in Wemby minutes. Look at tonight for example, Shai’s offensive gameplan ended up being a large part of why Thunder were getting beat in the Non-Wemby minutes.

They shouldn’t be taking this threat lightly, every back to back champion in any sport knows that the competition is tougher after you win the Title.

What’d you say fuck me for ??

Honestly, don’t hate that trade as much as I hate the Kat one.

Flair-less and comments hidden.

Such a brave guy.

Gobert’s a little vindicated for his performance last round after what we just saw Wemby do this round.

How should Mavs fans feel? We actually beat them before we got Nico’d.

Why are we im shambles? We never took them to a Game 7

wolves fans knew they didn’t have the recipe, don’t think the opinion of someone as disrespected as shai carries much weight for them

Series would’ve been different with a healthy ant and Donte

Gobert is only there to stop Denver

They are semi-Nuggets killers but sadly the Nuggets championship reign was short

That game 4 was the only competitive game and that’s cause Ant, Randle no showed and Minnesota had Divencenzo, NAW, Naz and Jaden carrying the load

P[TSD]J Washington broke them

Right? That’s a pretty glaring omission lol. Guess he forgot about that whole Western Conference Finals thing.

I guess the argument is OKC weren’t as good as they are now so those teams pushing them further is probably harder. Also individually for SGA he balled out that mavs series this series has been harder for him for sure

OKC weren’t that good that year.

Yes they were the 1 seed but I feel like everyone kinda knew they weren’t real contenders. Like Detroit this season. Shai was the entire offense.

Chet was the only big on the roster. And he was getting killed by Lively and Gafford. Giddey was unplayable. It was JDub’s first playoff run and he was very inconsistent.

Shai was the only really good player on that team.

If the Mavs kept that team together and played OKC in the playoffs the following year I think OKC would’ve won, given that they’d have Caruso, iHart, a naturally improved roster, and no Giddey for the Mavs to exploit.

Having Giddey, no Hart or Caruso. It was year 0

I feel like they win if Aaron Gordon had his hamstring and MPJ didn’t have that shoulder injury. Unfortunately tho Gordon is at the level of Anthony Davis or Embiid in terms of availability and with their myriad of other issues their title window is closed.

that jamal murray flu game is amazing man

Disrespectful.

That joke like SGA flopped

Do mvp caliber players score 15 points in close out games?

Who said that

Damn

What did you want him to say?

As if JDub and Ajay Mitchell aren’t injured? You guys really just yap huh

The disrespect to the Pacers especially is crazy

Yup, this years Spurs also controlled the game 1 they won on the road vs the Thunder for the most part, unlike last years Nuggets and Pacers who were trailing in those games the entire way and needed a last second game winner to win those games.

Basketball discourse in this sub is so ass lol

“Is this the toughest team you guys have played” 

“They might be, Denver and Indiana, too”. 

Aka “the refs got us”. That doesn’t even make sense. Shouldn’t you be making this comment on a post where he references the officials? 

Edit for your edit: no one is upset at the truth. Your joke is nonsensical in response to this comment. You could totally throw this joke in with the million others on any thread where it would at least be more fitting. 

you think sliver who gets off to the word “parity” would want okc to go back to the finals over wemby if he got to choose? 😂

Coming from a fucking nerd who says “never go full tropic thunder” 100 times as if it’s the funniest thing anyone’s ever heard.
