These refs clearly didn't watch the wolves nuggets game last night. THAT was how you officiate in the playoffs. These bums think it's a regular season game.

I'm not saying SGA isn't really good but he does do a lot of foul baiting it looks like

I think Shai gets too much credit for being on what is objectively a really good team. He’s not the reason they’re so good. Presti is just a magician.

Shai IS good though. But I’m not sure he’s an MVP level player like he’s touted to be.

Both valid commentary... but tbf you two basically just described Luka Doncic to a T.

Luka free throw attempts this season 8.6
SGA free throw attempts this season 8.7

Luka's numbers last year: 32/8/8 (DAL won 38 games)
SGA's numbers last year: 31/5/5 (OKC won 40 games)

Whatever Luka is mvp or not, Shai is the black Canadian version

mavs defaulting to high screen every play isnt doing them any favors

djj and green's check are just packing the paint to help on the roll and gafford doesnt have the chops to find the open man anyway. i think lively is a bit better at finding the shooters after the catch

To be fair, I’ve been saying Luka’s brand of basketball isn’t conducive to winning forever. I think Shai’s foul baiting is more acceptable though cuz he doesn’t complain as much. But he do be looking to go to the line A LOT.
