Yeah, the "Champs" are still the favorites. Lol
Saying sga having the best year is CRAZY. Joker literally having arguably the best season in HISTORY. CHECK THE NUMBERS
Sga is a foul merchant
GO CAVS!!!!!😆✊🏿
We beat Boston in there home court. There the best in west but not best of us. There good tho
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.
The SGA propaganda is rolling, he has not having the best season and he is not having a better season than 2016 Steph
Lions defense let em down, stop it
How come they didn't mention no Porzingis? These clowns probably picked the Lakers a week ago…clowns.
Thunder better turn to lightning in the playoffs, because playoffs time they never seem to make any noise.
Doesn't like hunting for fouls but loves lebron flopping?
If this was a playoff game, okc wouldn’t have all 30 something free throws and Boston would have won.
Horrible take by nick steph 2016 clears Sga season
No Porzingus. He is critical for Boston in the playoffs. Dont think anyone can beat them if they are healthy.
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
SGA freetrhow merchant is winning the mvp because they are sick of giving it to jokic
Brunson gets better in the playoffs to tho 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nick turning every segment to glazing LeBron 🙄
Nick, YOU were the one who lumped them in with those “fraudulent teams”
The Cleveland Cavs are the best team in the NBA right now OKC second and the Celtics third
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.
Is SGA wins a chip he’ll be the best player in thunder history which is saying something
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.
Does he mean shooting guard? Steph’s unanimous season is definitely better
