Shai has developed one of the shiftiest crossovers the league has ever seen. Just nasty.

The YouTubeTV logo on the court just got replaced on my screen with the PornHub logo. Did this happen for anyone else or is it because of my viewing habits?

This is the kind of game OKC likes to play. Indy needs to cut this lead in half by end of quarter or its over. OKC is comfortable playing with a big lead and never lose their focus.

We needed that 3 by Nesmith.

Still too much Shai dancing with the ball for 15 seconds for my liking. Let's get some ball and man movement going.

Plays like a poor man’s Harden- without prime Hardens offensive talent.

I'd argue Shai is way more dangerous. Harden was just 3/2 or 4/1 high pnr, Shai is an all time finisher and hits the middy time and time again huge difference.
