Random NBA Observations 2025 - 2026

[Primetime]

What’s incredible is the consistency vs other elite players… win lose or draw, playoff or regular season, Shai almost always wins the star matchup in big games or big series

He outplayed Luka in their playoffs series 2 years back. Outplayed Jokic in last year’s series. Destroyed Ant in the WCFs. Outplayed Tatum and Brown 2x in the regular season, and now this year he’s outperformed Jokic 3 consecutive games.

Even in the losses to the Spurs, he was the best player on the floor in at least 3 of the 4 games.

If SGA wins his 2nd straight MVP (he locked that up tonight) with his 2nd straight FMVP and championship he’ll automatically be in the top 5 guards of all time.

Prob have to bump him past Dwade as well. This is the 4th straight year averaging 30 and shooting 54+% from the field. Only Jordan has done that

This nikka SGA is actually on par with Jordan…

What do your eyes tell you?

The last time a MVP race was decided by a game winner was also a OKC guard hitting a 3 on the Nuggets

Shai is a Mount Rushmore guard man…

The interesting thing is whether he’ll get the Steph treatment, who gets to be classified as a point guard despite the moniker of greatest “shooting” guard.

He’ll be in top 2-3 point guard of all time territory if he sweeps all the awards again this year.

Yea… Shai is better than Jokic

The Canuck is the best player in the league

Jokic is still better, but Shai is right on his heels.

He's snatching the crown. People gotta accept it at some point.

He may be keeping that seat warm for Big Vic. It won't be long.

It's pathetic.

And I can afford to pay the subscription, but why, when cable and Internet is already pricey enough?

Every time I have to use Peacock I feel like a sucker

Cam Johnson and Christian Braun combined for 10 points. Your 2 starters putting up those numbers is inexcusable

happen with Braun this year? I thought he was making a mini-leap last year.

I’m still waiting for that cocksucker @NoMorePie to tell us that Wemby is pulling up for 40 tonight

Super happy MSG is showing the game in the local NYC market, but I gotta listen to Monica McNutt. While I'm happy sis career seems to be expanding, I aint the biggest fan of her game commentary

 

[SchoolboyC]

What about the man who beat him 3x this season in San Antonio

Unless the Spurs get the 1 seed, I don't see it

He'll win DPOY by a landslide though

I have YouTube tv so I can’t even watch MSG, they black out Knicks games

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The biggest worry for Denver is Adelman seems completely out of his depth.

Taking out both Jamal and Jokic on that last possession with no timeouts, and then proceeding not to even double Shai was bizarre to say the least. They could've easily forced a TO or a rushed shot, and his two best players wouldn't have even had a chance to get on the floor to win it.
