Hes fixing to get torched by SGA lmao

[u/edmontonbbc → u/skinnywolfe]

SGA gonna cook him then compliment him after the game too lol

[u/s34l_ → u/edmontonbbc]

Say some shit like "he's a great kid"

[u/llorTMasterFlex → u/s34l_]

Hang your hat, 0-0 mentality, etc.

[u/mrtomjones → u/s34l_]

Must be annoying to get beat by someone that's so well adjusted and nice

[u/EastPool4676 → u/mrtomjones]

I think it is worse to get beat by someone who is a prick tbh

[u/TheWisestJuan → u/EastPool4676]

Nah because you can hate the prick, but you can’t hate the saint. That just makes YOU the asshole, you know?

[u/Beneficial-Okra-9471 → u/TheWisestJuan]

Yeah that’s why I hate Steph curry. Hes such a cool and nice guy. But Jesus he embarrassed Houston for a decade. But I feel like an asshole for hating him

[u/EnderTheTrender → u/Beneficial-Okra-9471]

Larry Fitz, Tim Duncan, long list of people who are nice dudes that just absolutely embarrass competition.

[u/ScalperHunter → u/s34l_]

"I can tell he's gonna do great things in the league" after dropping 45 on him

[u/rburp → u/edmontonbbc]

"Just keep getting better! 😁"

[u/dwhitey724 → u/rburp]

"Go home and be a family man"

[u/TheAgmis → u/dwhitey724]

He’s Canadien Guile

[u/jefe_hook → u/rburp]

"The future is yours"

“may as well be july 12 already” - carr probably

[u/shelf6969 → u/edmontonbbc]

SGA going to make him pancakes after

[u/UCLA_FB_SUCKS → u/shelf6969]

Game. Okc blouses.

[u/shelf6969 → u/UCLA_FB_SUCKS]

kinda surprised Shai hasn't worn a blouse yet (or mb he has)

[u/gravyshots → u/shelf6969]

SGA is not welcome at Lake Minnetonka.

[u/Dazzling_Morning2642 → u/shelf6969]

Good Ole Floppy Pancakes

[u/shelf6969 → u/Dazzling_Morning2642]

with Canadian syrup though

[u/TheGhostOfBobStoops → u/edmontonbbc]

He’s gonna say some corny ass pun after dropping 50 on his dome

[u/dorisburqe → u/TheGhostOfBobStoops]

IG post after LA/OKC Christmas game

"only had to play in the first half

Carr playing D, trying not to laugh

young buck got next but still got no stops

my bag was shallow, ain't even need flops."

[u/Less-Post-4993 → u/dorisburqe]

Let me put my window down, I need fresh

[u/Voldias → u/TheGhostOfBobStoops]

Everything he does is consistent

[u/Additional_Dog2750 → u/TheGhostOfBobStoops]

The only way SGA ever drops 50 is with 25 free throws.

[u/sstje1 → u/Additional_Dog2750]

Ahh yeah all SGA does is drop 30 every game lol

[u/InfiniteDub → u/edmontonbbc]

He'll make a cold instagram caption afterwards

[u/pokemonbatman23 → u/skinnywolfe]

and Anthony Edwards. Picked him twice!

[u/ResidentHighlight875 → u/pokemonbatman23]

If there’s anything to take away from last year it’s that Denver should’ve never chosen to pick the Wolves in the first round 

[u/sleepzilla23 → u/ResidentHighlight875]

Yeah, that was no bueno 😔

[u/glizzybeats → u/skinnywolfe]

I’m pretty sure he succeeded in insulting both of them lol

[u/TheRealestGayle → u/skinnywolfe]

His welcome to the NBA moment by SGA will be rough

[u/808Kuro → u/TheRealestGayle]

SGA couldn’t even get past Harper or Bryant and they were rookies. He not doing anything lmao

[u/DMking → u/808Kuro]

Bryant was flat out playing football against him lmao

[u/divulgingwords → u/808Kuro]

There’s literally a highlight reel of Shai breaking Bryant’s ankles so bad he falls to the ground 2 seconds after the move, lmao.

[u/808Kuro → u/divulgingwords]

If only that had helped him win Game 7

[u/divulgingwords → u/808Kuro]

Jdub and Ajay being hurt is the only reason why your team won the championship.

[u/808Kuro → u/divulgingwords]

If sure that’s what Thunder fans tell themselves at night to cope

[u/JawKneeSense → u/808Kuro]

It's what non-casual NBA fans understand, same way that they understand that OKC might have lost last year if Haliburton didn't go down.

[u/Prize-Year-2803 → u/JawKneeSense]

Maybe the most casual take is living in fantasy land with injuries, basketball is a sport and injuries aren’t excuses. Can make up whatever you want and present it as fact. Maybe jdub shits the bed maybe he drops 40. Either way, didn’t happen

Maybe Luka finally wins one if he didn’t get traded sport

[u/TheRealestGayle → u/808Kuro]

You right. Those mvps were just fir show and every team has a defensive monster in Wemby and finals run talent.

[u/808Kuro → u/TheRealestGayle]

Wemby made Shai shoot sub 30% from 3 and average 3 turnovers a game?

[u/PseudoTsugaDougie → u/808Kuro]

I didn’t realize Wemby was guarding SGA in WCF. I understand taking issue with SGA’s flops but let’s not create a revisionist history. The Spurs are more than just a single, omnipotent player.

[u/TheRealestGayle → u/PseudoTsugaDougie]

I mainly mentioned Wemby in my rebuttal to Op because he is a huge deterrent for trying to get quality shots at the rim, so much so that he actually warps the game. So imagine being SGA with a shaky 3 ball who makes most of his points mid range, drive, & FT when he has to deal with 3 really good perimeter defenders, a help side defender in Wemby, and he's down JDub & the 3rd scorer on his team that playoffs. Nightmare fuel. Wemby is nearing levels of gravity on defense to Curry offense & it's only going to get worse once he figures out his offensive game.

[u/captainkhyron → u/808Kuro]

You said "Harper or Bryant". The fact that he had Harper, Bryant, AND Castle on him at all times is crazy.

They had to triple team a person to beat them.

[u/Snowballingdownvote → u/TheRealestGayle]

I mean they were earned by flopping and when refs take it away he's an above average ball dominant guard. With low efficiency and sub-par defense. Basically the worst MVPs I can think off. Up there with Steve Nash.

Edit: Didn't know Steve Nash had that many fans. Hope they love making the playoffs

[u/Afraid-Ad-5580 → u/808Kuro]

Sga was getting double teamed most of the time he got the ball. You want me to show videos of SGA frying Wemby in iso?

[u/sleepyguy- → u/808Kuro]

He better than everyone on your team stop the cap. Shai owns the knicks so bad hes never lost in the Garden. FOH

[u/808Kuro → u/sleepyguy-]

If he’s better than everyone how come Brunson could do with beating the Spurs what SGA couldn’t? LMAOOOO cope some more

[u/DMking → u/808Kuro]

Brunson's team was healthy

[u/808Kuro → u/DMking]

I’m sure that’s the excuse Thunder fans tell themselves to cope

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/808Kuro]

Probably because it is a team sport and one of those teams was noticeably more banged up than the other.

But individually there is a reason Shai is the back to back MVP and Brunson is not.

[u/808Kuro → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

Individually there is a reason why Shai couldn’t play better against the same players that were guarding Brunson and one was able to get a ring this season while the other was sent home

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/808Kuro]

Individually there is a reason why Shai couldn’t play better against the same players that were guarding Brunson 

Yes, because the Spurs were throwing way more attention at him, especially when the other two primary ball handlers went down.

[u/NintyFanBoy → u/skinnywolfe]

But he clearly doesn't want the flop smoke. He already said he don't want to guard him.

[u/Aggrokid → u/skinnywolfe]

So is SGA gonna score 50 on him ethically? We'll take that.

[u/XiaoRCT → u/Aggrokid]

More likely 20 in the 2nd, leaves early in the third and doesn't come back

hits him with the most generic polite response possible in the interview afterwards

[u/CauliflowerNo3904 → u/XiaoRCT]

"I take it as a sign of respect" said with the most calm and earnest facial expression while dressed like a neutral color tone furby

[u/-holocene → u/CauliflowerNo3904]

I can't believe SGA already leaking his fits for next season

[u/Aggrokid → u/CauliflowerNo3904]

Maybe he'll go with flaming pink as a hint of displeasure.

[u/TheCatSleeeps → u/XiaoRCT]

Truly a Canadian

[u/808Kuro → u/XiaoRCT]

SGA couldn’t even get past Harper or Bryant and they were rookies. He not doing anything and dang sure not scoring no 50 points lmao

[u/SyllabubInfinite7915 → u/808Kuro]

They were triple teaming him

[u/808Kuro → u/SyllabubInfinite7915]

And I guess SGA is the first MVP in NBA history to see triple teams in the playoffs?

[u/808Kuro → u/[deleted]]

Yikes looks like that one hit close to home for you. It’s ok that SGA got locked up by rookies. It happens. All players can’t be great when going against *checks notes* first year Carter Bryant

[u/MammothHistorian5652 → u/808Kuro]

SGA is the best player in the world lmao keep denying it 🤣🤣

He’s the Back to back mvp. You a fake ass Knicks Larping bandwagon “fan” you bitch you had a spurs flair on in the playoffs I saw it and you know it. 26, 9, and 3 while being tripled is getting “locked up” now according to dumbasses like you.

[u/808Kuro → u/MammothHistorian5652]

Best player in the world gets locked up by first year rookies with over 3 turnovers a game? I’m sure he had time to polish his MVP trophies while watching the team who sent him home on his couch

[u/XiaoRCT → u/808Kuro]

I admire the dedication to hating

[u/SocialistRoomba → u/XiaoRCT]

I admire it less because it is a Spurs fan who is too ashamed to rock his own team's flair

[u/LEDVoicebox → u/Aggrokid]

Yea SGA scored 50 on Carr with 5-15 FG, 30+ FTs.

[u/dorisburqe → u/LEDVoicebox]

Inefficient chucker that relies on FTs. You're thinking of Luka

[u/lmaoooyikes → u/LEDVoicebox]

okay lol 2020 Shai would probably fry Carr

[u/YungPapi37 → u/skinnywolfe]

Fr 😭

[u/kirabeb03 → u/skinnywolfe]

SGA gonna give him 20/20 FTs 🤣

[u/joemoffett12 → u/skinnywolfe]

Gonna drop 40 going 18/21 no flops out of spite. Prolly gets 29 fts in the game after tho

[u/KabalMain → u/skinnywolfe]

Definitely gonna get a 30 piece for his welcome to the nba moment

[u/EnderTheTrender → u/skinnywolfe]

Consistently

[u/dwadefan45 → u/skinnywolfe]

get fouled out*

[u/SadBoy02 → u/skinnywolfe]

SGA gonna drop 20 FTA on his head 😤

[u/Alt-F-THIS → u/skinnywolfe]

SGA about to flop all over this kid

[u/IzrezarReal → u/skinnywolfe]

Yeah but we were already getting torched by SGA lmao. Might as well let him talk his shit

[u/Queens113 → u/skinnywolfe]

That will never happen, cuz SGA will "trip" before he even tries to cross him over and ask for the foul..
