SGA just turned an almost certain loss into a win

[hippesthippo]

I thought Clippers fans said Batum was a good defender. That was Jared Dudley type defense right there.

That bit of weight he's put on had me thinking that [i]was[/] Jared Dudley. I'm like, dammmmmmmn covid protocols been hitting teams hard if Dudley is getting 4th quarter run on the Clips.

[Inklink]

lol that dance. He pulled it out twice too.

George: Thats a bad shot

He usually is- long arms and decent quickness, but that was very poor defense.

The game was lost though by subbing Kennard out for Winslow. Made no sense at all. Kennard is probably the Clippers best free throw shooter

Even good defenders get burned, but yes, Batum got very lost on that one, way too open of a shot.

SGA has had a tough season so far though when it comes to his efficiency.

[Clemenza]

Bad coaching decisions down the stretch and bad defense by Batum on the final play. Great shot by Shai

[Old Man Game]

Honestly SGA has one of the smoothest, most appealing games to watch. That guy is SMOOTH. He's not talked about nearly enough, but imo he's in that Tatum/Trae/Ja tier of young star.

If Presti ever gets a decent bucket getter beside him so defenses can't just load up on him he'll really break out.

He’s being heavily targeted now that teams know how good he is and without any other real threats. Giddey is ok there when it comes to drives but he can’t shoot. But SGA is really prolific at beating his defender. I forgot where I saw it but his drives per possession were I think tops in the league or close.

sga is definitely worse this year, and his unreal pull-up shooting from last season appears to be fluke-y. he is still going to be a good player and some of the burden will be lifted if / when the thunder get better players around him. but he's attempted more pull up threes this year than last year so the sample size is adequate to at least be concerned he's not the shooter we saw in 2020-21.

Everytime I watch OKC, my question is, "who is spreading the floor", but they are deliberately constructed in this manner as the moment, just tough for the poor guy.

Is SGA a borderline all-star? Being serious here.

[ch434355]

I wouldn't say that down 2 with possession is an "almost certain" loss.

[Madhouse]

maybe. Impact wise probably not though.

He isn't a franchise talent though.
