@NBA__Courtside You can’t say the Knicks have enough bodies for OKC, who is arguably the deepest team in the league but then say the spurs beat the Knicks when the spurs are struggling because of lack of depth. Also one guy isn’t just going to win a series so having wemby alone isn’t enough.
Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN.
Thinking about Shai’s Finals game 4 performance.
Down 2-1 & a 10 point deficit with 14 minutes left from being down 3-1.
Drops 35, including 15 of OKC’s final 16 to tie it up.
The most points in the final 5 minutes of a finals game since ‘71.
All-timer
Kevin Durant on OKC’s physicality: “No, no, no different than any other group. They play with physicality for sure, but that’s what championships organizations do. I don’t think they toe the line or anything. I just think they just play swarming basketball; they all rush to the ball. They play physical off the ball. They got great hands. They got good block shot blocking center. I don’t think they do too much, anything extra. I just think they play together and know how to swarm the basketball.”
