    12:43 y’all are absolute assholes with the Luka faking an injury narrative. I truly hope J-Dub’s ankle fully heals so he’s good to go in the next game. Stay classy guys smdh

    Giddey needs to find a new home. His numbers are good when Shai is not the primary ballhandler and the Thunder need another big.

    The thing that's killing us is the pick and roll lob threat. Dort has to fight for his life around the pick and try to get back in front of Luka but Luka is so effing wide and able to draw fouls so easily that its a chess match between them on every possession. Luka eventually gets so deep into the paint that he has an easy shot, meanwhile Chet can't help off the lob man because it'll be 2 points every time if he does. If neither are there then Luka can kick out to the corners. Idk how we're gonna defend it it seems unguardable, especially when Luka is able to use Dort's physicality against him.

    By the way Mavs fans are reacting in the comment section would make you think Jacob and Justin are chanting dark rituals to curse Luka's first born. Who hurt you guys😂

    never hated OKC till this playoff series. You guys should watch games and stop complaining. you play dirty, with a friendly whistle against a team with a injured Luka and still lose.

    You guys really think having a big man like Gafford or Lively embrace physicality wouldn’t be a huge help to this team? I get SGA thrives in 5 out spacing because otherwise it’s tough for him but cmon man, it’s the playoffs.
