Never seen an NBA role player throw up so many heat checks when they were ice cold before :lol:


The worst was when he took a contested logo 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock when he was 1-7 from the field. Mind blowing

I know mvp is a regular season award but shai has shown that he deserves it with his play in the playoffs.

Edwards was the king slayer after beating old Lebron, fat Luka, injured Curry and old Butler. Ready to be crowned

Don’t worry Wolves fans you’ll get the perceived favorable calls come Games 3 and 4.

that's the harden special. Get defenders so scared to come close that you just get open jumpers. I don't blame SGA but damn I hate how the NBA ref certain players.

SGA is THAT guy and the Thunder are that team. These guys just have a gear that no other team has right now. These are young guys SGA is leading. This is scary

Ya because Brunson never flops lol

You are clinically insane if you think brunsons whistle is comparable to SGA

Cry about a head snap if you want but he does not get the same love from refs at all


Thats because he's not as good as Shai... Brunson definitely tries to flop just as much as him lol

OKC fans shouldn’t care if other fans don’t like SGA’s calls. Stop being sensitive and take your wins. Stand on business.

Been saying that all along. Once T-Wolves play a real team they have no shot. They just don t have the talent to beat any of the premier teams.
