The nba is fake and this game just proves it for me. No way No should have stayed with OKC . Rested team vs a team who just finished playing 🤣
Both teams are out 2nd round. This was hard to watch 😂😂
Ung inaakala kong mananalo ng wla hirap cla pala ung dadaan ng butas ng karayom.
If any other #1 seed had beat the #8 seed without their best player by 2 points, it would be a huge story. OKC is the NBA’s Cinderella team. If Tony Brothers hadn’t helped them, a New Orleans team without Zion would have beat them.
Both teams played like the have no experience in the playoffs in the final minutes lol 😂 if either team gets the nuggets, it’s over for them
Thank the lord for these refs!! With zion this game aint close!
OKC had a perfect matchup with Lakers, too bad we cannot beat the Kings so thats a risky move to throw a game against Pelicans
I see you pelicans. Respect. Y’all would be the 3 seed in the east
This OKC team is going to go down really fast….No experience No Veteran players to handle these though situations in play-offs.
Man why didn't McCollum attack right away during that last possession…
Dear NBA: Don't put the final score in the thumbnail of close game endings. If someone didn't watch the game and just wants to catch the ending seeing the final score kinda ruins the tension
Dort s impact on this game was insane .. he played great defence.
Bro why the score in the thumbnail yeeeesh
Wow pelicans choked that, so many opportunity for easy drive with those offensive rebounds. And okc inexperience is showing. Interesting matchup
5 years without playoffs, players age under 25 and a sold out home crowd, man their hand should be shaking. they did great.
mcollum will not be in that team next season 🙄
I wonder who won looking at the thumb nail……..lol
Why was BI not the one to take the last shot?
Is Chet might be hittin that "rookie" &/or playoff run wall?
A lot of 3's shooting attempted by NOP at 1:04 time left, but nothing there. The crowd gave tense to pelicans and made the OKC wins👌
I thought it was going to be a blowout. Then wanted ot. lol
Not very convincing…the Pels let this one slip
Don't write the score, there will be no excitement left
That was a nasty sequence for Nance…
Mc Collum should pass it to open man to tie the game but no, he make things difficult for his team
Why did the Pelicans keep on shooting 3s in that last 1min or so!! Fucking unbelievable! They just need 2 points
CJ revenge for game2
McCollum could’ve shot that
CJ decides to do something after hundreds of fa!led attempt by his teammates SMH
I just see a bunch of rookies playing rn haha so many mistakes
Nance >>>>>> Valanciunas.
Playing like a d2 college team ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
With the addition of Zion this series is going to be very interesting
Si los Iq in The Pelicans
MVP SGA 🤣🤣
Both are soft First-round team😂
OKC sucks at playoffs , Pelcs can believe in that series
LARRY NANCE U DUNCE
I wish you wouldn't show the final result in the thumbnail. For me, part of the fun is watching your "crazy ending" videos and having the suspense of who will win until the very end!
