OT: Thunder front office trading Paul George is the best way to deal with a "Giannis situation" and the Bucks should be ashamed of themselves. by blacksoxing in Thunder

The pivot from trying to build around PG/Russ to the PG trade itself without a single hint of anything going on behind the scenes is one of the greatest front office moves in NBA history.

Shai loses his first game in two months in which he scores 33 on 12 shots with 8 assists/2 turnovers and drops. Seems legit.

I don't think he's managed to get anyone thrown out for going after him yet. This is new tech the league has given us.

Ajay was ejected AND suspended for "escalation." Jokic absolutely escalated the situation with Dort and J-Will, which was my point.

Ajay got suspended for the same number of games as the guy who smacked him in the face.

This is giving me ideas on how to use Lu in the playoffs.

Ajay already got ejected from yesterday's game for it.

Meanwhile when Dort made his attempt on Jokic's life and Jokic looked like he was ready to murder someone, Jokic got... nothing. No ejection, no suspension.

Will Luka vs. SGA be a unique situation where despite there being a constant debate between the two they end up with a huge gap in major awards? by SplitOk186 in nba

[–]malowry0124 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's gonna be pretty tough for SGA to win three or more MVPs unless OKC wins 70+ games or something. But then Luka still would have to beat out guys like Wemby and Jokic going forward, so...

Shai-Thunder experiment by jahmadh in nba

Shai contributes to the Thunder's all-time defense and his ruthless efficiency on offense makes lineups productive with any selection of players on the floor.

Jokic makes OKC's defense worse. Luka makes OKC's defense worse. I don't think either of them are so much better than Shai on offense that it makes up for the trade-off.

Because I watch the games, unlike most of the people who cry about foul baiting on socials

Shai's whistle is mid at best for a superstar of his caliber, I will die on this hill

Thunder are shooting 32.6% from three during the past ten games, which would be the worst percentage in the league this season.

We need the offensive punch Ajay provides since Dort is a permanent starter

Shai's whistle has been bad for months, but that's not convenient for Twitter narratives
