He was 6’8”, and super strong and I wasn’t that either.” “He wasn’t playing no defense,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “To me, when I was younger, he was just super athletic, I wasn’t that.

Mark Daigneault didn't dismiss the idea of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing on both ends of the Thunder's upcoming back-to-back on Thursday and Friday.

Everything we’re doing is in the perspective of that.” The loser would play the winner of the No. The Thunder (36-36) entered Wednesday seventh in the West. The winner would get the No. As things stand, the Thunder would host the Mavericks in the No. He did a great job answering the bell.” “He chases (blocks), he tries to get those plays and alters a lot of shots. Joe drove, though, stopped at the elbow and sent Leonard flying by. “He knows where to be,” Dort said. The same Olivier Sarr who’s on a two-way contract and who had played in just three games this season before Wednesday. Sarr found J-Dub on a slick backdoor cut that ended in a Williams slam. “He’s got a lot of length down there,” Daigneault said of Sarr.

Paul George hounds Shai on a drive, gets him to retreat, where Kawhi pokes the ball away and picks up a steal. Knocked away his dribble once, Shai tried him again and Kawhi took it again. The Thunder are fouling A LOT but they’ll take the tradeoff against a Clippers team with suspect bonus awareness and ballhandling. Russell Westbrook appears to get a piece of a SGA driving attempt at the rim and then starts clapping and trying to get the crowd into the game to cheer. But then he was tired and allowed and easy SGA split of the PnR (Plumlee also involved) and the Thunder are doubling off him on every Kawhi iso. That’s crazy, after those 3 straight buckets Clips are straight doubling Shai as he crosses halfcourt, even on a miss. Kawhi is here, but Clippers need shooting to show up. Clippers 3-point shooting has been horrible: 5/28, 17.9%. He is going to find a way to put the pumpkin in the patch. Rookies have no control over where they play and the best ones, by design, tend to land on bad teams.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder to a close victory over the Clippers, and Kawhi Leonard marveled at SGA's growth with OKC.

“First of all he’s 6-foot-6, so he can get his shot off over anybody,” Tyronn Lue added. So, he just kind of plays at his own pace. Like he never takes bad shots.” “I think he has always played at his own pace,” Lue said. Gilgeous-Alexander leads the league in 30+ point games this season, and displayed his offensive brilliance against [Kawhi Leonard](https://clutchpoints.com/thunder-news-okc-fans-hyped-after-lu-dorts-unreal-defense-on-kawhi-leonards-last-second-shot), Tyronn Lue, and the rest of the Clippers in the Thunder’s hard-fought 101-100 victory.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's LeBron James comment spices up ... (Yardbarker)

Be careful mentioning "The King" this time of year. James is expected to return from injury soon as the playoff-hopeful Lakers (35-37) battle for a berth.

Because he didn’t have to worry about that dynamic of I’ve got to get this guy the ball to keep him happy.” Moats mentions his second concern is that Beckham could always bring drama to the Steelers and that is not the culture of the team. It’s not necessary, but having a reliable pass rusher that can take over games is the second-most valuable player in today’s NFL, and the Falcons don’t have that guy. Of the three, the decision not to pick up the option on Jacobs was certainly the most surprising. Clearly, there was a breakdown in communication between the officials and the Mavericks, but there was just as clearly a breakdown in communication between Jason Kidd and his players. Newton may have just enough in the tank to be a serviceable starter in 2023, and with Washington’s weapons — running back Brian Robinson plus receivers Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson — he may afford the team another year to let Howell develop or another quarterback should the team draft one in April. When it’s not going his way in terms of role, in terms of numbers, and he’s looking at Kenny like ‘yo you need to be feeding it to me.’ Odell in the game with Baker? Steelers Shouldn’t Sign Beckham In Part Because He Doesn’t Respect Young QBs Like Pickett, Says Moats Moats said that there are plusses to signing him in free agency, including the fact that the Steelers won’t have to worry about drafting a receiver and can continue to focus on depth and the trenches. Sherfield set career highs in receptions (30), targets (51), yards (417) and touchdowns (two) with the Dolphins in 2022. Foster Moreau has been in the NFL since he was drafted by the then-Oakland Raiders in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. Entering a contract year and as an anchor on the Bills defensive line, Oliver wants to get paid. He was 6-foot-8, and super strong, and I wasn't that either," the 24-year-old said on NBA's "Pass the Rock," according to If he refuses to fire Sutter, that could lead to a decision to change out the general manager.
