Thunder put up the most points off the bench in a playoff game in franchise history in Game 2 with 57

They have 66 points off the bench tonight which is a new record

So many thoughts..

The game-to-game adjustments have been superb. Daignault doing work.

Our bench depth really stood out in this game.

Their t-shirt color scheme was god awful.

Going up 15-0 to start the game then getting their asses kicked in routine fashion, that's a massive gut punch.

Running Fox out there with a high ankle sprain. Shameful.

Dort took one shot the entire game. There must be some kind of strategy there. I'll wager a bet: the first game back in OKC, he takes 16 shots.

Jared McCain. LOL @ the 76'ers front office.

If you're going to foul Wemby, FOUL HIM. JORDAN RULES.

Can we get a Gentleman's Sweep??

SGA has 21 assists and 3 turnovers over the last 2 games combined.

(And one of those turnovers was an offensive foul.)

While facing constant double teams, traps, a wall in the paint and the kitchen sink.

That level of ball security while under constant pressure is unparalleled.

Its like every game SGA turns someone else into a super power. People don’t realize how as the top player in NBA - SGA always gets all other players involved.

People can’t figure out why team and players are so close and connected. Its because SGA is selfless. He usually gets what I call quiet points. You look at end of game and say wow he scored that many. Its because he’s a rare star who doesn’t act like most stars. He genuinely wants his teammates to have their moments.

I look at LBJ and how selfish he was. It was always about him.

quote:

Jaylin Williams praises Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's playmaking, his 12 assists in Game 3. “He’s an unselfish guy. A lot of guys in that situation would shoot over double teams or do everything they can to get points and shots up, but he's doing the right things and making winning plays.”


quote:

Michael Martin @MichaelOnSports Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on getting booed on the road in Game 3. “Yeah, I mean it's part of the game. I don't expect their fans to love me, it's not how it works. They want their team to win and it's that simple… I love and appreciate them, whether they're for me or against me. They made the game fun.”

It’s sometimes hard to not take SGA for granted, like he’s going to make the right pass and hit ridiculously clutch shots but he makes it look routine. But then you see the slow-mo replay and his eyes are huge like he’s jacked with adrenaline. He’s so unique. then add the points you highlighted about the success produced by his unselfishness.. the dude is a legit freak.
