Remember a guy named Derek Fisher. The Thunder had to go get a proven big shot taker and maker. They need to do that again if they wanna make a run.
27:57😂
This did not certainly age well regarding Fox’s future
Duncan has 2 mvps
Matt Moore is a hater and he needs to wait his turn before cutting my guy Ryan off⚡️
Cook that fraud Rylan
Fox is gone. Sorry, King fans. One chip and Matt Moore's head is a hot air balloon.😂. The Mavs are winning a chip in the next 3 yrs.
If the okc starters all die in a plane crash Dallas wins let’s worry about making playoffs
This was great. Loved listening to the debate.
Thank you!
Hell no
I haven't been this hyped for a LOThunder podcast since the last one! ⚡⚡⚡
Thank you!
I really really hate to say it, but I get the feeling Thunder fans are gonna have to come to terms with the fact Jokic is likely going to win. I don’t think he should, and it’s really annoying he is having this kind of year when in 90% of seasons, Shai is easily taking it home. But the national dialog seems to really want Jokic to win. He is the media darling, and his stats are insane enough to justify voting for him, regardless of what Shai or anyone else is doing. Really hope I’m wrong, but it just feels nearly everyone outside of OKC wants Jokic to get it again.
Well you are listening to the wrong media lol, he’s currently -400 give or take so unless things totally changed or that flipped on its head, which this type of award doesn’t , those feelers are out there that’s why he’s -400. If things largely go as they gone, I’d be very suprised if he didn’t walk away with the MVP
Thunder fans are with Shai all the way!
Has Jokic had to cover for missing starts by important players to the degree that Shai has had to? For Shai to be leading the league's youngest team with the team missing so many starts by our centers while compiling the leagues best or near best record suggests to me that he is the most valuable player.
Jokic has had a similar run of that to be fair with Murray, Gordon and MPJ spending a decent amount of time out
I appreciate the MVP on the last discussion, but the NBA is struggling and I believe that the “tired of voting for someone” hurt the league. Jordan, and Lebron deserved it way more than they received it and all hoop fans know it so why not just actually give it to the deserving player which is Jokic. SGA is insane but he isn’t making history and Jokic is.
I would say leading one of the youngest teams in the league to one of the all time point differentials and best records in the league whilst averaging over 30ppg on over 50% shooting for the third straight season with over 3 stocks and a plus minus of 12.4 only playing 34 minutes of game time is pretty historic
@ no doubt it is I’d love him to win it but what about the historical numbers of joker. It goes both ways. I believe any GM for one season only would take joker over any player in the league so that’s my thought but I don’t dislike the other side of it and love OKC and SGA.
We are biased as thunder fans, of course Shai, but i think Joker's passing is more impactful than Shai's better defence
Jokic is the worst rim protector in the league, that has the stand for something
@@SooTwixtbut he's not a bad defender though. He makes up for it with IQ defends
Neither is Shai a bad passer, so thats why it's so close and I love it
@@MindfulAttraction2.0 he absolutely is bad for a center
🦬🌩️🥶🔶🌩️🔶🥶🌩️🦬 THUNDER 🆙
🦬🌩️🥶🔶🌩️🔶🥶🌩️🦬 THUNDER 🆙
🦬🌩️🥶🔶🌩️🔶🥶🌩️🦬 THUNDER 🆙
Didn’t know Michael is a nuggets fan
Just like how Rylan is a Dallas fan 🤣
If all healthy, meaning Chet, I am convinced OKC will shock in the playoffs. I don’t think the league is ready for the Chet-IHart connection.
Directv stream screwed up coverage of the Dallas game. How did Cason get hurt? What exactly happened?
Was there any doubt the Thunder would be good this season? No. The NBA snubbed OKC on Christmas, they buried the only game on Sunday in the middle of the NFL schedule. Hmmm, I wonder how that happens? Please
If we was a play in team we would be looking for positives too. Enters Dallas Mavs fans
Okc had no center when dallas beat them remember cup qualifying game Okc smoke them lu Dort lock up luka and they never had a center after that when they played Dallas relax n they had a game with no sga
The blazers have been playing well that was a trap game for sure good win
26:59 😂
#1 team in da league lost to Dallas 3 time and a couple more lost listen I can make a case if Okc was fully healthy this season they could still be undefeated call me crazy
Dog days only when they play the mavs😂
Dallas fans are so delusional it’s almost funny 😢
Mailbag question: do we think Topic next year will be a heavy rotational/ backup PG?
Great to have the Isaiah boys back
The disrespect by the nba is palpable.
Mark never complains to the refs. He just has class.
Mark complains nonstop he just doesn’t do enough to get a Tech
@@LockedOnThundera classy complainer
That's your threshold for 'class'? Not complaining? That's kind of dumb.
Dort should not have been ejected but I do feel bad for Gafford. He got all beat up during that game.
DORT NEEDS TO PUNCH MORE NUTS
Dort needs to slap more nutz
To be fair... PJ cooks y'all EVERY GAME! no matter who plays 🦝🦝🦝
PJ…God of Thunder 😉
It's obvious that they do.
The problem with overly excitable Wolves and Thunder fans, is that they think their star is superior to Luka. Luka has dispatched a far superior and #1 seed than your teams with a much weaker roster. Go see what Luka made the Suns become. What Luka turned the Jazz into. What the Wolves turned into after Luka punked Rudy AGAIN. I understand you want to glaze SGA. Just cool your jets until you guys beat Luka and your words could carry some weight. 'til then, respect the Killer that put you down and learn from it. Come back stronger and maybe you can beat Luka.
Every thunder fan crying here about how bad luka is...thats exactly why you lost to him in the playoffs. You guys seriously need to grow up and be humble. Until then, you wont see a ring any time in your future. Ignorance is the biggest obstacle when chasing something like a championship. Leadership, experience and humility wins rings, not talent alone. It's a talented league all around, who gives a sh**. Any team can beat any team on a good day.
Mavs
The only game we had at least 1 center on the floor "IHart " we destroyed them. With chet and Ihart back it's a wrap. Also I would like our coach to give Caruso more minutes and try him in the starting line because we might need it in the playoffs. Lastly if we have no centers Carlson should be splitting minutes with jay will .
Ofc fatty is making excuses yall play one legged Luka rookie dlive
You can take alot about this game. For example that okc cant handle real pressure
Lou is absolutely dirty Ryland. Brandon Ingram would prob agree
Haha Dort is definitely not a Luka stopper… Consistently dropping 30 point double double almost triple doubles on his head is not even funny anymore
GREAT GAME! MAVS OWN OKC! 🤣🤣We were missing 7 players, 3 starters and 4 rotation players! We started a player on 2 way contract and still beat OKC! GO MAVS! How many is that now! 7 of the last 12 games Won by DALLAS! Love seeing the refs not putting up with the Dirty Dork tactics! FT Shea shut down! PG Washington with a 20/20 game! Robbed of his last rebound! Mavs WIN!
That 22 pt win in game #1 of that series is a good explanation for why both teams ended up with the same point differential. Outside of that 1st game it felt like the mavs were in control of that series for the most part.
Does OKC like playing with sexual predators? First it was Giddy, and now its Dirty Dork as he's known around the NBA! Dirty Dork and D. Green of GSW are 2 of the DIRTIEST players in the NBA! Both should be banned from the NBA, both are dirty! But tell Dirty Dork to quit trying to feel up the Mavs players! That's the 2nd time he copped a feel of a Mavs player! I hope the OKC players don't shower together after games! If they do, DON"T DROP THE SOAP IN FRONT OF DORK! He is a Dirty, molesting player that should be banned from NBA!
So many excuses so much crying both teams are hurt
