why couldn’t Shai do this when I was at this matchup last season bruh

Chet’s gotta go to that spin more it was so effective pre injury and it looks much more secure now

top 10 no troll 1/2- Shai Joker 3) Giannis 4) Luka 5) Wemby 6) Edwards 7) Curry 8) Brunson 9) Dmitch 10) you can argue 10 guys idc

regular season dominance overrated we need Shai clutch time reps

everything's been in control & smoother with consistent form from the base to his arc. hopefully april treats us better this time around in this aspect.

Most 30+ point games in UNDER 30 minutes in a season EVER 1. 2020 Giannis - 9 2. 2026 Shai - 7* 3. 2025 Shai - 7 4. 2024 Shai - 7 5. 2016 Curry - 7 *Shai’s tied for 2nd all time 14 games into the season.

looks like it’s going to be another year with a clear gap between the top 2 players and the rest in terms of impact metrics

best offensive seasons since 2020 lmao

is it normal to use nba players as a way to remember new names

intriguing read from Shai on his only tov of the game, he anticipates the tag and tries to skip it to iHart but his limited passing creativity ends up with Chet tipping it out hitting Chet would’ve given them a 2 on 1 advantage but I like the attempt in a game like this

Shai’s 40.5% from 3 ever since opening night

.Jase Richardson

hand tracked all 83 of Shai’s 3PAs so far (through 11/16): left pound stepbacks: 10/19 (52.6%) everything else: 21/64 (32.8%) small sample size and he’s been cold on catch and shoot looks especially compared to last season but that pound move is becoming a legitimate threat

really interesting how he’s completely ditched the left hand hanging pull up (tho it makes sense since I had pull ups at <30% through 12/1 last season)

to kinda add onto Tyler’s point, when Shai sits to start the 2nd and 4th quarters OKC intentionally goes double bigs which has completely shut off the rim for opponents (-12.3% relative rim %) and dominated the boards it’s more of a lineup choice than anything to do with Shai

the continuity with this team is insane
