Very unimpressed with this "Coach of the Year" so far this series
These non-SGA dudes just stand at the 3 point line and chuck fukking wack ass offense
I will continue to say SGA shoulda won MVP. This postseason has really hammered it home.

I do not understand how people could look at that roster finishing first in the west and not overwhelmingly vote for Shai.

The coach just stands around and squints all game like he misplaced his sunglasses. I don’t see him coaching shyt out there

He’s like the cac Darvin Ham

100% facts

Dude is an automatic 30 ppg, while at times being the primary ball handler, hits clutch shots, and his team looking absolutely lost whenever he's on the floor
This Game 5 was proof. Everyone on the Thunder was scared of the moment except Shai. And they were still in the game because of Shai

OKC's starting lineup needs a big shakeup

- They need an upgrade at the 3. Josh Giddey is not a starting SF. Net negative on offense, and meh on defense
- They need an upgrade at the 4. Dort should be a 6th man
- Jalen Williams needs to be the point guard, and Shai the shooting guard. Shai needs to have less ball handling duties, it would make his game even better, and would make teams not have to double him every time down the court

this Ousmane Dieng shyt better work for them

and they need a 5 not a 4. Chet's not a 5.

I wonder about Chet's footspeed, especially at his height. In this era, these 4's are like 6'8 small forwards that are extremely quick

It's basically like asking Wemby to play the 4

By using context and seeing that the Nuggets were missing Murray and the Wolves were missing KAT for extended stretches. Them nikkas the 3 seed lowkey but lucked into good health
