Seeing this take going around, but does that also mean if he loses we get to spend the next 2 years nitpicking his defense and crying about how heliocentric offenses don’t work? Does it work that way too?
The consensus in the group chat is that game 7 will be called much tighter and we will have a really annoying Thunder victory. Adam Silver feel free to prove me wrong!
Its honestly unfortunate that this game 7 is not gonna even be about which team is better I'm telling you right now it will 100% be decided by the refs.
SGA has dropped 7 ppg, 15% from the field, and 20% from 3 LMAO and his team has carried him to a game 7. I don't think any other MVP in history has played this bad and still had a chance to win.
This is just obviously true. If you are a kid whose favorite player is SGA, what part of his game are you going to try to emulate? You probably aren’t 6-6 with an impossible first step, so you are gonna practice pushoffs and flailing
Michael Wilbon says kids around the world will be learning how to FLOP if SGA wins the title this year and Jay Williams WALKED OFF the set 😭💀
“If SGA goes back to back, and enters next season as a two time champion and two time MVP, guess what? There will be kids on the playground learning how to flop”
The answer, as always, is to move to the east. I shudder to think about the resume if he had been in the east this whole time. Imagine Luka’s first couple playoff series were against like the Hawks or Knicks instead of peak Kawhi Leonard.
I really wonder what would Luka have to do to win the MVP if averaging 34-8-8, scoring title and most Player of month awards on a 53 win team is only good enough for 4th place. 34-9-10 got him 3rd place in Dallas. Feels like there's nothing he could do to win with these voters.
I’ve been a Celtics hating Laker fan all my life. I’ve watched the Celtics win Finals against both my favorite players. Watching this Thunder team play against a team I don’t care about has me more annoyed than any series I’ve ever watched.
When the WCF is over, some will say ppl overreacted to the way OKC played unethically and was nevertheless rewarded by the refs. Here's a thread for posterity #AdamSilverBasketball
Last minute of the third:
-uncalled Lu Dort goaltend leading to Thunder free throws
-out of bounds off Thunder, called off Spurs, not allowed a challenge
-Shai barrels into the lane and falls over, 2 free throws
Like 10 minutes of real time. Killed all Spurs momentum
Seeing a lot of Becky Hammon “if the Knicks win the Finals” posts already and I’d just like to remind everyone that their ceiling is stealing one game from the west champs
