Maybe J-Dub can peak as a third option on a championship contender, but the jury's still out on that one.

It’s the playoffs everyone is sore he was just being a wuss for the first 4 games. But big props to him for finally turning it on and he didn’t even complain 1 time to refs.

They've dodged some bullets but they've also contested and scrambled really well in situations that for about thirteen years or so have resulted in even more wide open threes. You can't hope for 25% from three from the opponent but you (I) can be happy the Thunder are running into regular ruts where it seems like Shai's the only guy who knows what he's doing.

Not everyone is listed as questionable before the game due to those issues.

Yes, I know. If this current Thunder lineup wins a championship in the near future, it'll be because of SGA first and Chet second IMO.

Ah yes, obvious bleeding in the knees and still playing well enough to get your team to 3-2 is being a wuss. I would love to see SGA being in the same pain and pulling up similar numbers.
