3/14 in the 2nd half. 27 point lead blown. Victor Wembanyama just authored the greatest single game choke job in NBA history. When the odds were ever in his favor, the NBA’s tallest man shrunk like no other.
haven’t seen anything about the NBA Finals, NBA media what a failure they got so tied into twitter gimmicks and social media and now they don’t even know how to market their own league shit sad
All these “what does OKC do now?” clips and posts are nonsense.
JDub was healthy for 1 game.
Ajay Mitchell was healthy for 2 1/2 games.
That’s an All NBA player + a rising star. That’s all of OKC’s shot creation/ball handling/playmaking besides SGA.
One loss was in double OT.
Still came down to the final moments of Game 7.
Spurs are great. Gonna get better. That’s an issue for every team.
But OKC could just draft at #12, get healthy and roll the same squad back next year and be much better.
And it’ll still be a 2 team race at the top.
Big changes to a young championship team that was a few plays away from a return trip to the Finals without 2 of their top 5 players isn’t the move.
Draymond on SGA's Foul-Baiting And Flopping
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”
Maybe SGA is unethical.
Maybe SGA is destroying the game.
Maybe SGA is only a free throw merchant.
Or maybe, you're just making excuses.
Nobody complained when Kobe had 3 seasons with more free throw attempts than SGA this year.
Nobody complained when MJ had 4 seasons with more free throw attempts than SGA this year.
Nobody complained when Bron had 4 seasons with more free throw attempts than SGA this year.
Maybe SGA is just unguardable.
@AChapathi can you address the fact he was 1/8 in the first half yet the Celtics were still up 20, then he stat padded his way up to 30 in the second half when the game was over?
