That three by Steph was so pure. The sound it made on ABC was top-notch lol.

At the beginning of the season, I still had Steph as the second best player in the league behind Jokic. I stand by it. As with all of the all-time greats, we take their excellence for granted. He is incredible and the most influential player of the modern era.

OKC recognizes they need size.

Biyombo isn’t the answer long term.

Will be interesting what they do in the offseason.

Siakam up to almost 43% on the year for 3s.

I always said it, the man just needed to go back to the corner 3 and stop taking longer ones.

Siakam really deserves an all star nod, more then Scottie did tbh

Gus Johnson mentioned during Indiana/Purdue broadcast last night that NBA was considering rule changes to aid the defense. Proceed accordingly.

Jalen 2nd or 3rd option on offense with no double team. Best defender on SGA

Try putting 2nd/3rd best defender on Barnes without double team and see what happens

Are we surprised Siakam getting better looks on pacers vs raptors?

Brutal giveaway by Masai. He should have extended him, after the OG trade....

Raps will be lottery basement dwellers for years to come.

Barnes would feast also, playing alongside a top 5 player. We get it man, you really, really dislike Barnes.

Vet minimum at most next year, possibly not even a contract. What's the point?

I wonder why the Jazz wanted him, he should be on a playoff team for depth

They didn't want him. They wanted the pick.

There are only 2 corners on the floor. An elite scorer is supposed to create corner 3s for others, not take them himself.

I mean, yeah, we saw Scottie put up single games better than that.

32/14/7 - https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401585023
31/10/10 - https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401616470
30/11/6 with 3 blocks and 3 steals - https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401584769

That's just a quick glance at his gamelogs from this season.
