How do you think SGA will do in the playoffs?
SGAs having himself a regular season but I wonder how you guys think he would do in the postseason?
some guys get better and some guys get worse so i guess between a chris paul and a lebron james, id like to know how you think he might look as a playoff guy

Re: How do you think SGA will do in the playoffs?
Chris Paul was tremendous in the Post-Season at a younger age than Shai, so that level as a floor isn't actually realistic.
I would love to see OKC and Shai facing down Herb Jones in round 1. I feel like they would roll over Phoenix or Sacramento if OKC ends up at the 2 seed, though Sabonis would give their lack of size a handful.

Re: How do you think SGA will do in the playoffs?
Players that are particularly reliant on getting to the FT line usually have a harder time in the playoffs, since fouls aren’t called as easily and that can short-circuit their game a bit. So I would expect SGA to be on the side of going a bit downhill in the playoffs. But he’s been so good in the regular season that him going a bit downhill in the playoffs could still be good enough to win a title.

I think he's going to do good and lead them to the wcf.

Hope you don't mean their first playoffs as CP3's first playoff was all time level, MUCH better than LeBron's...

If that’s the case, I need a OKC Suns series

Harden/Embiid level.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

Re: How do you think SGA will do in the playoffs?
He's a great player, but I can see them struggling some, esp. with Chet Holmgren being so young and Giddey having a meh season. If he really wants to make his name up with all time great guards like Wade, Paul or Kobe, he has some work to do IMO, to win games in the playoffs. Will be interesting to see how this rolls.

A lot of his scoring reminds me of Jimmy. If his guys continue to hit shots(ahem giddey and dort) and spacing is good I dont think it'll be easy to contain him 1 v 1.
If he stays confident he will be alright.

Shai is a stud and will be fine. I do not believe in the rest of the Thunder, however; in particular their lack of size across the roster. They're a candidate to get bounced in round one. Edit: wrong board, sorry
