SGA sold his soul to get this whistle.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Wolves got to stop dumb turnovers. It was one on three with Ant. He needs to make that pass quicker

OKC with A LOT of elbow/arm pushoffs.

SGA and Brunson gonna compete for most FTs in a playoff run.

Doris Burke needs to go. Provides no insight into the game and just insulted one of the up and coming star on national television. It's like saying LeBrick before LeBron finally started to not shy away from big moments.

Skinny man privileges, much like Durant and his rip through.

He can chicken wing you with enough force to kill a man. It’s still legal contact as far as the NBA.

It's a loop hole that players found. If a defensive player is retreating in drop coverage, the offensive player can basically ram into them, draw contact and shoot free throws.
They need to get rid of it.

The only way to guard SGA (in this ridiculous foul environment) Is to make the fouls hard ones. If you’re gonna foul him you gotta put him on his ass hard. Eventually he’ll slow down bc his body isn’t built to take a lot of contact like that.

He doesn't respect anyone. He just threw the ball at the MVP. Nobody else is doing that.
This is the year of the Antman!
OKC gonna lock that ass up. His playmaking isn't good enough yet to compete against the historic OKC defense.

From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

OKC is so much better with a single big lineup. They can't afford to pay Hartenstein and Chet both beyond next season. They'll need to choose.
