We didn’t address our rebounding problem at the deadline. Hopefully we don’t get killed by Gafford, Washington and Lively
ThunderUp!⚡️
Mavs in 5! 🔵⚪️🐴 Them thin boys on the baby Thunder have no playoff experience
Who’s gonna shot 3s off the bench for Mavs ? Hardaway jr ? Derick lively ? Get the $&?@ out of here guys ! Luka / Irving play hero ball thunder in 4-5 .
Great show guys!
Nick, I hope 80% of your time in OKC is really memorable. Don't ask Rylan where the best eats are in OKC, trust Joel. 😮
GO MAVS!!!
Waiting for the flood of insufferable Mavs fans…
Rylan keep up the good work!
I'm so sick of the experience/age shit man
Ball movement and forcing them to move on defense and the schedule is our biggest strength. Of course we must make the 3’s.
Mavs got kyrie and luka. Luka and kyrie are proven at this level chet sga William are not. Reality will come hit the okc real soon.
Dallas is the new Lob City. Lively and Gafford are going to LIVE at the basket this series. Game 1: Let it Riiiiiddddeeeee!!!!!!!!!!🦝🦝🦝🦝
Yeah… I’m rocking Dallas in 5. Too big, too physical and honestly have the two best players in the series. SGA has a lot to prove before I put him in front of the man who’s responsible for the biggest shot in NBA history and is currently averaging over 20 points per in the second half.
Going to be a battle, especially with Luka cold on 3s and Maxi out for the rest of the post-season. I love this Thunder team but I love the Mavs more. Mavs in 7. Let it Ride.
OKC doesn't even need to win the series for this season to be a success.
It is a 50/50 even matchup and I am just ready to watch and enjoy.
The Mavs biggest advantage is that they're slightly closer to Cancun so they can get there faster. OKC in 5, maybe 4.
Keep these douches off the podcast please 🙏
