    Don’t beat yourself up big dawg you absolutely hard carried this series 

  2. Confident_Berry7271

    The only mature response. What you gonna do? Great season from the kid 

  3. MarduRusher

    Fair. Good answer. Thunder are gonna be back next year and even better (which is crazy since they’re the one seed). If they can sign or trade for a good rebounding big that team is gonna be crazy.

  4. New_Essay_4869

    It wasnt just this play. He had a lot of defensive lapses this game that led to open 3s. We wouldnt be here without him but I believe he will come back better next season

  5. kritikal_thought

    Shai led his team in EVERY major category over the course of this series, he had an incredible run and I’m sure his team will be back much stronger next year.

    The big mistake wasn’t the block attempt. It was Daigneault challenging it.

    Even if PJ makes all three, the Mavs would have been up 2 with 2.5s left. That’s enough time to get a good shot to tie/win IF you can advance the ball and set up an ATO.

    Challenging that call put the game in the refs hands and took away their last time out.

  7. What a stupid follow up question. “Is it permanent?” Tf

  8. suprememontana

    Dude was so fucing good this series. I was a fan before and a even bigger one now. Does he flop a little? Yeah, but which star doesn’t? He’s got such an incredibly smooth game and really carried this team to 6 games. Even from an unbiased standpoint the Mavs were clearly the better team in this series and SGA kept them in it

  9. LukaBear91

    Shai was by FAR their best player. One play doesn’t change that

  10. If bro develops a consistent 3 gnna be unstoppable he went 3/4 today

  11. Obvious_Party_5050

    The fucking guy pressing him. “What do you mean you don’t want to look at it?”

    Like shut the fuck up. You know exactly what he means.

  12. naslanidis

    This new generation of superstar player who doesn’t blame everyone else is refreshing. It’s been a long time.

  13. I thought his leather jacket in the commercial was out of character, I guess not

  14. Tough break for the game to end on that note when Shai was the least responsible for them losing the series by several miles.

    Chet had 2 rebounds. Williams was mid for the series. Role players couldn’t knock down their shots. Daigneult shouldn’t have challenged. Presti not only wasn’t able to improve the roster of the #1 seed despite having like 15 1st-round picks, but also enabled the Gafford trade.

  15. damn the reporter that kept pestering him about watching the replay was annoying.

  16. “what do you mean you couldn’t look at it”?

    “My eyes don’t work. Can’t see replays. Been that way since I was a kid”

    What a stupid question 

  17. RacingRaindrops

    I mean it very easily could have been waived off and then Kyrie gets the tip in. Yeah OKC would be able to setup because they’d still have the TO, but….if he doesn’t go up for the block and PJ hits the 3 then that sucks too. Gotta live with it.

  18. Lee-HarveyTeabag

    The mentality from this next waive of superstars (SGA and Ant specifically) is refreshing. Personal accountability will get them a hell of a lot farther than looking for excuses. Basically the exact opposite of every post game thread in this sub’s history.

  19. WhitePeopleLoveCurry

    The exact perfect answer you’d want from your star player. No excuse making, no questioning the call.

  20. GheeDota2

    Why are reporters so fucking awful at their job?

  21. krisfocus

    Shai was a stud in this playoffs. He will be back again in a big way.

  22. xScrubDaddyx

    Why the interviewers always tryna rub salt in the wound? He was amazing all series man let it go
