  1. Saying sga having the best year is CRAZY. Joker literally having arguably the best season in HISTORY. CHECK THE NUMBERS

  2. Shai had roughly the same number of FTA per game last year during the regular season and he got better during the playoffs. And Harden is not a good comp. He was shooting 11+ FTA per game and only shooting 44% (36% from 3) during his 30 PPG seasons. Shai is just under 9 FTA per game and shooting 52.5% (37% and climbing from 3). That's in line with prime Jordan shooting percentages. Even Kobe's best ever was 46.9%.

    Also, everybody keeps saying there are less fouls called in the playoffs as an excuse against the Thunder's offense, but then ignores it against their #1 and hyper aggressive defense. Less called fouls BENEFITS the team with the worst free throw differential in the league. The only thing that will stop the Thunder is if everyone else disappears like last year and/or their opponent randomly shooting 40% from 3 as a team for an entire series the way Mavs did out of absolutely nowhere.

  3. How come they didn't mention no Porzingis? These clowns probably picked the Lakers a week ago…clowns.

  4. Thunder better turn to lightning in the playoffs, because playoffs time they never seem to make any noise.

  5. Nick is high, Steph averaged 30 on 50,40,90 shooting split on a 73 win team to win a unanimous MVP, the only one in history. How is SGA season better

  6. Why do you always fail to include MJ in the greats who elevate their game in the playoffs? Kind of like you dissing Brady all those years.

  7. Jokic about to lose a second MVP to a free throw merchant when he gets clobbered every night and should be getting way more foul calls. Not saying SGA isnt having a phenomena season, but cmon guys its so obvious that Jok should be MVP.
