The Narravtives game (Shai)

[Mask the Embiid]

its always shai has the best team. so when he wins almost every game with his #2 out. wiggins randomly missing games, dort missing weeks, caruso missing random games, chet missing weeks, ect ect ect. No one says a word


Shai cant win without freethrows. He is down to only averaging 4 fts a game.no one says a word


Jokic makes everyone better...he actively makes cam johnson worse....not a word is said

Well imma say it....imma speak up....

He's a great player but the OKC team is stacked with talent so he's playing the game on easier difficulty and I'm an SGA fan. Incredibly consistent player when it comes to scoring. He averages 32 but like he gets 30 almost every single game and on similar efficiency. The depth they have on defense is more impressive than anything because they're 10 points per 100 better on D this year in the non-Shai minutes which just shows how good this team is playing right now, even with injuries. They also have an insane amount of good picks going into a stacked 2026 draft. They don't have to play as many close games because the 2nd unit can hold it's own as good as any in the league.

As far as the Cam Johnson point goes, he played on bad Brooklyn teams for a while and is adjusting to being a role player on a new team, too early to tell. The On/Off numbers with him on the court are still great despite his struggles on offense so their defense is looking much better (3rd right now).

now big jaylin williams, isiah joe, isaiah hartenstein, and cason wallace are too stacked to be starters....just admit you hate the man........ just admit it.


i cant stand jokic fans

a team full of backups is having the game on "easy mode".....do you read what these mfs say?



No muthafuka shai is the easy mode.....shai puts the game on easy mode for them! Anytime any of his teammates get stuck or dont know what to do next they throw the ball ot him and he bails them out.wtf is wrong with you. get off your knees for jokic...like sheesh its pathetic



Shai doesnt get bailed out he does the bailing!

Shai triggers people for some reason. They look for every excuse to not acknowledge him as the best in the world.

Better than Jokic?

He's for sure top 5, but I don't even think he's better than Luka.

I'd take SGA over Luka any day.

SGA vs. Jokic is hard to compare since they have very different strengths and weaknesses.

[bdonovan]

He doesn't have the best team. He has veritable nobodies on his team that have thrived under his leadership; very similar to how Curry turns these randoms into heroic role players who suddenly sink into oblivion when they're off the team.

SGA has this vulnerability and self-doubt that makes him such a great player. He just comes across as a guy who was never a shoe-in. Heck his teammates even yell at him somewhat regularly; which doesn't happen all that often with other superstars.

Nobody thought OKC would go anywhere, and even though now they've won a ring, I don't get the sense that people outside of the hardcore NBA fans know who he is or think of OKC as a dominant team.

OKC is a small-market team, that are ranked 20th in the league in payroll; in other words, in the back half of the league. I would love to see what other stars could do with that lineup and I think the reality is they would do very little.

I've debunked the whole SGA gets easy free throws line which is a lazy, unscientific criticism. You also can't underestimate SGA's commitment on D. OKC was the best defensive team apparently in a long time; yes it has to do with guys like J Wil, baldie, and others- but when your best player locks in totally on D like SGA does, he sets the pace for the rest. That's not something certain top players like Doncic and Jokic can say.

Yeah, everyone's either a fan of Jokic or Giannis or Luka, so they will look at any excuse to downplay how good Shai is. The FTs stuff is so overblown imo, but OKC is kind of a boring team to watch every night with all the blowouts, thus they label Shai as a boring player.

[KD7]

The reality is that SGA is a cheat and as much as I can admit he's a top 5 player on the planet and will go down as one of the best players of this generation I don't respect the way he plays whatsoever

It's insufferable to watch and a big reason why I don't watch the NBA anymore

Most players don't get away with this foul baiting flopping bullshit come playoff time so it didn't annoy me as much

But for some reason with SGA he gets protected by the refs more than any superstar I have ever seen since watching NBA in 2012

I can't stand him as a player he is a cheat who plays like the most bitch made ***** I have ever seen

Because he's a cheat

[tontoz]

I like Jokic and Shai. I don't feel the need to like just one or the other.

2-3 years ago kblaze made a thread about SGA asking where we should rate him. There was some clown who said he didn't deserve to be rated because he's never been in the playoffs which i thought was ridiculous and argued with him a long time. Don't think that clown posts any more. I think it was bigshotbob.
