He’s had a couple of huge games but extremely mid otherwise for his standard

Jokic was arguably the worst player on the floor most of the game. Insane they might pull this out. SGAs ego killed OKC.

I'm sorry 34 is straight up better than both these dudes and if he had a comparable supporting cast + coaching staff he's not losing to either of them. God I **** hate the current Bucks organization.

SGA a halfway crook out there, straight up shook this game. Somehow overshadowed the worst game of prime Jokic's career.

Murray doing the type of stuff I hoped we'd get from Dame. Dude is a monster in the clutch. Gordon has been insane as well.

Thunder looked like a young team that forgot what got them here. SGA was rattled.

8 turnovers and 0-10 from three and they will talk about him not playing with all stars next season again.

I have a random Thunder fan in the timeline and he's singlehandedly made me loathe that team. The unearned arrogance is amazing.

Damn, I had almost the exact opposite experience.

In my timeline an OKC fan is talking about how ass SGA and Jokic have been so far in the playoffs, while being carried by their teammates and that Giannis is the true MVP and it's not even a close thing.

Not gonna lie, this mid-off has been amazing so far for Giannis' reputation in my circles, lol.

Actually, what got them here is defense. Their offense is mostly result of their defense. Their offense 5 on 5 is very suspicious. If they cant stop oponent they are not going to score much.

Thats why I was 100% sure we will beat them in cup game. I knew they cant stop healthy Giannis and Dame. And thats why I predicted that they will lose in 2nd round this year.

And when they do lose we should ask them what they offer for Giannis. Nobody needs Giannis more than them IMO.
