Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) joins LeBron James (2) as the only players in NBA History averaging 26+ PPG & 6+ APG in the Playoffs in multiple League MVP Winning Seasons!

1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — 28.7
2. Jalen Brunson — 28.4
3. Cade Cunningham — 28.1
4. Paolo Banchero — 26.3
5. Dillon Brooks — 26.0

7. Nikola Jokic — 25.8
8. Jaylen Brown — 25.7
9. RJ Barrett — 24.1
9. Scottie Barnes — 24.1

And he had some bad games vs Lakers too

I’m a Thunder fan and it felt like every 3 they shot they hit.

The Spurs are a heck of a team.

I mean 40% from three. They made shots. Difference is, Thunder attacked paint more and made some as well.

Game 3 will be very fascinating. True chess match. Fun series.

Hate the injuries tho, both sides.

Strange stat. The team who shot the best 3% lost both games

The Spurs are a year away. You simply can’t make 20+ turnovers a game and expect to win.

If Fox/Harper miss much more time I see them losing in 6. Thunder are good enough to win without JW.

Hartenstein is such a dirty player. I’m surprised more guys don’t go at him. He’s like a 1980s Bill Laimbeer style goon the way he holds Wemby.

What a great series. Wemby being in the center of the defense is going to force teams to bring back the mid-range shot.

I really like how the refs are letting both teams play.

Both games have been great. This is a battle. Stop being such a homer


1) I'm not a homer - I just want to watch good basketball.

2) I said both sides

3) Don't frick with my money. Game 1 we had plenty of consistent play, last night it was all over the place and you really only got 1 quarter of what this series truly is and that was in the 3Q when both teams scored 30+. Thats just how this goes with those teams, let them run, let them score, let them play!

No one on this site says this, but okc fans have been inventing narratives all season so its not surprising you think that.

The entire internet is full of the narrative that he wouldn't exist without the free throw line.

Here, Reddit, X, IG, etc.

I love clip posters. Thats what sports have become. Watching full games is so yesterday and posting selective clips is the new age answer to discuss sports. Every teams fans could post clips of opposing teams and say X Y and Z did this or that.

Social media has ruined sports to be honest. But its not going away so we have to sift through it. But one can get so infatuated looking for stuff to support their argument.

In a few years maybe less the narrative will flip to SA clips. Someone who sits at computer all day will start clipping select plays of SA players.

Basketball is a sport like football where you could call a foul or flag on every single play. People need to step back and start enjoying the games more vs looking for any fault. Change the narrative and start look for any good and it will enhance you viewing experience.

This is your problem that you invented. Fans have been enjoying their team and opposing fans have hated said team for various reasons and use any and all tiktoks, X and other methods to cherry pick and bitch.

Its no different than football season where a majority of this board does nothing but bitch about refs when their team is losing or lost.

To me I enjoyed both games 1 and 2. You did not see me constantly bitching about refs after losing game 1. But opposing fans always go full melt when they lose their game just like game 2.

At some point people need to stop being so spoiled and just enjoy the sport or move on from it. During season so many said its unwatchable and bitched constantly. But they keep watching and bitching. Which turns threads into a bitchfest. I really don’t understand how miserable people can be day in and day out.

I have no idea who wins this series but its been so great to watch so far. Both teams have claims they could make but overall its exciting basketball and is setting viewership records. Its fun.

I think your larger points there are correct.

The one thing that baffles me to this day is why OKC fans get so triggered when someone says something bad about their team. I'll never understand it, but it's like clockwork.

Are you blind? The whole thread is constant bitching. Its a gamethread. And casuals go looking for anything to bitch about.

Some are not even fans but post just to get attention.

Adams was one of my favorite Thunder players. Houston lost so much when he went down to injury.
