SGA is amazing but the whistle he gets is questionable...maybe because he's so skinny

Only Embiid is ahead of SGA in terms of worst watches in the league.

If i am Dallas, i am okay with this bad first half. Offense has no rhythm lots of fouls on the other end and yet this is just a 8-10 pt lead.

Thunder has enough poise to hold on to this leas or add more but if Dallas’ offense show up we’ll have a close game.

11 fta for SGA in a half is crazy.

Really good playoff basketball game. Very methodical by both teams.

Make sure you keep the same energy when Luka foul baits his way to 40 pts in the 2nd half.

Luka is not going to be able to hide defensively against Giddey for an entire game. They are going to make him guard someone.

Because he doesn't shoot a thousand threes?
