    He's a great contract to move with a cheaper young player or picks for a Giannis move or someone else that comes up later. You never know now with the lottery madness what kind of draft position they'll stumble on.

    Fox scored 2 points on 1-8 shooting and he leads his team at +15.

    Just shows you the +/- stat is so misleading.

    Fascinating how bad teams shoot on the road vs at home in this series, makes it extra hard to steal one.

    So all the stealing road games happened early when they were not fatigued.

    Madison S Garden feels like a cakewalk in comparison but one awaits the onslaught there.

    It has become the stat that can indicate that a mediocre player can be carried by his teammates in that lineup.

    Hats off to the Spurs, they playing crazy good Defense in the 3rd.

    Mitch Johnson just showed the wrong side of his paper when secretly talking, showing the spurs plays

    OKC only scored 13 points in the 3rd.

    It’s like it’s a script… both teams knew this was going to game 7 as per NBA instructions.

    Thunder are deeper, Spurs have the best player and present match up nightmares with their young core.

    I guess that's why it's going 7

    This is pretty crazy… NBA should have scripted and made Knicks and Cavs go to 7 games as well.

    So SGA just forgot how to draw fouls and the Spurs suddenly learned how to.

    Didnt watch and just assumed the NBA would make sure this went to 7.

    Agreed. Spurs would've ended this series already if the league didn't want the Thunder to be piggybacked into a game 7.

    No, he didn't forget. He tried his darndest to get them. It was just a case of the refs not giving SGA the SGA treatment.

    Low and behold the Thunder look pedestrian.

    So badly so people who blatantly admit they didn't watch the game - just assume the refs cheated in the opposite direction.

    Hilarious.

    I can't tell if i'm watching SGA a 2 time supposed MVP, or Jalen Green this series.

    It's been a crappy script with so many blowouts. Game 7 could easily be another OKC blowout. The evil Thunder versus the good Knicks is a storyline America will get behind.

    The Cavs just didn't have it in them to win 3 games, even if the NBA wanted to extend the series. Just as not all Hollywood actors can play the roles they're asked to play, some NBA players can't.

    Spurs have systematically grinded him down. Also, IMO, it's been noticeable the first two games really took a toll on SGA and he hasn't had quite the same pep since. Without both J-Dub and Mitchell, Spurs are using SGA for target practice because he is OKC's only playmaker.

    By playing extremely physical defense and getting away with much of it (except game 5), Spurs are doing to OKC what the T-Wolves did to them.
