I don’t think any player whose game is reliant on foul hunting can be a #1 option on a championship team. You put too much of your fate in the refs hands.

His game isn’t reliant on foul hunting. He’s almost a 50/40/90 player he’s as efficient as they come, he’s not some chucker like derozan was. He’s just bricking all his shots right now.
Also for reference kawhi averaged 9 fta during his raptors playoff run. Shai is averaging 8.7. Kawhi averaged 30.5 ppg on 20.7 shots shooting 49%. Shai is averaging 29 ppg on 20.9 shots shooting 47%. So yeah he’s not some Lou will, demar, harden type chucker that gets most of his points off free throws. He’s a very efficient scorer even without the free throws… his 3 point shooting is hurting his efficiency right now though since he’s only shooting 29% these playoffs.

Yep. It's not foul hunting like James harden. It's all efficient footwork and angles. I wonder if any basketball prospect has considered taking dance classes. Like tap and samba and jazz.
Luka is all about footwork too even tho it's not as pretty.

Minny's process on offense is just dreadful. How many Reid/Randle interminable, backdown post-ups against this swarming defense are you going to have? You should be generating paint attempts with crisp passes inside with your tall ass team.
You're getting Westbrookian Randle in this second half.

Both SGA's and NAW's mothers went to Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic Academy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mother_Teresa_Catholic_Academy) in Scarborough, Ontario (pre-amalgamation). One of the most high rizz schools in all of Ontario.
I propose that, between Shai and Nickiel, the winner of this series gets to rename Malvern Mall after themself. It's only fair.

Took OKC a half to get over the hangover from a 7 game series two days ago. Now they're in control. Should be a sweep or maybe a 5 game series
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

I played for malvern soccer club after I couldn't cut it with Wexford anymore when I was 14.
Wexford for my age group had the best team in the country. We won 3 Ontario cups, 3 Robbie tournaments, multiple tournament victories across eastern coast. But after I got taken out the starting lineup I went and played for malvern for a couple years.

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2024-25 V2.0
Well this one's over. A sweep wouldn't surprise me but you never know with Minny's defensive scheming. They could come up with the adjustments necessary. They've done it before where by games 3 and 4 they find the crucial tweak to their defensive strategy.
