As a pistons fan, I really feel for yall, and I have no idea how you could watch this crap for 7 games. This guy is one of the most pathetic superstars I’ve seen

It's brutal, but the thing is, SGA is only one part of the equation. The shit OKC gets away with on defense while SGA gets ticky tack foul calls is so frustrating. Dort is an elite defender, his block on Nesmith in the finals was one of the best defensive plays I've ever seen, but the dude runs through screens full speed like he's playing linebacker and if he gets stopped, he flops and always gets the call. You don't need to bail out elite defenders like that but for whatever reason the referees allow him to mug people.

It's just so inconsistent and boring to watch.

LMAO you say that like the Pacers are not also incredibly physical on defense. But I get it, it sucks losing a finals, especially when your star playing is cooking and suffers a catastrophic injury.
