The last time we seen this combo of elite offense and defense was the warriors dynasty. If you’re an actual fan of basketball, this is beautiful.
I'm sorry?

You're talking about the Thunder?

Their MVP star is a flopper who has defenders scared to breathe in his direction, giving him wide open shots ALL game long.

Yes, the defense is top notch - but scoring is ALL off the fear of fouling the ref's guy....

Warriors were far more elite. Curry flops but NOT like this.

Harden was infinitely WORSE, sorry @Primetime

I don't know how dudes can watch basketball and compare those two in the slightest when it comes to the foul baiting shyt
Harden was worse…doesn’t make what SGA, Luka, and to a lesser extent Brunson right.

My theory is since SGA isn’t doubled as often as other guys, and OKC’s good spacing it’s easier for the ref to see marginal contact with SGA and the player guarding him.
Compared to Bron, Shaq, Jokic, and ANT…they don’t get a fair whistle surround by at least 2 sometimes 4 defenders…ref can’t see the foul

He’s what I wanted Harden to be, but he never worked on his middy until far later in his career (PHI years) and even then he wasn’t as good at it as current Shai.

They’re dynamically different players but ultimately Shai is more disciplined on and off the court than Harden.

James getting fat after the bubble cost him a title with BK (hamstring injury) so he’ll always have to hold that L.

Ain't nobody can tell me Julius didn't come out in the 2nd half with the sole intention of trying to pad his stats to get a new contract.
Had to double check my parlay, and nice try Julius. Too little too late, I took your under on REB + AST :umad:

(lost though cause Hartenstein and Reid couldn't get one more reb :sad: )
