Shai Gilgeous Alexander is a very good ball handler and a very good shooter. We rarely see him miss a shot and that goes to show that he is one of the top players in the NBA today. A great win for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He's been scoring a bit more consistently the last few games as well. Him and Heartenstein change everything. I would favor this team out West as currently constructed(just like Boston without KP last year)....but with Chet!?!? They should go all the way. Not favoring them over Boston(this year) but am favoring them over literally anyone else.
I'm as big of an OKC fan as there is and how aggressive their defense is even annoys me on behalf of the other team😂...I was watching with my gf(sorta but not really watching) in the background and I just kept saying all game "oh there's another steal, man another steal, damn another one". The most hounding defense I have seen as far as forcing turnovers, it is insane.
Okc played with higher intensity, their defense was great they forced turnovers they kept Mavs' stars way lower than their standards. The Mavs this time didn't have one of their best performers vs OKC in almost every game they've played against them since last year, PJ Washington. That hurt them a lot. I think the optimal 5 vs OKC for the Mavs is Naji and PJ together alongside Luka Kai and Lively/Gafford, to match their intensity and have defensive stoppers against SGA who killed them tonight. I believed that the winner of this matchup would lift the Cup, so i have OKC as my favorites to win the final 4 in Vegas.
@obj1393 I didn't say Mavs lost because of PJ's absence, I clearly said the OKC were better. I pointed out that PJ Washington had been terrific against OKC in all the games he played against them since he joined the Mavs. I like Mavs chances with full roster against OKC's full roster. A hell of a matchup!
@@pgeo999This is a much different team from last year and when we meet again pj won't make that much of a difference. When chet comes back we will be way better
@@pgeo999Nah very reasonable comment by you man no point in addressing the other dude. To me however, come playoff time even if OKC doesn't have Chet I see them beating the Mavs. The addition of Klay and the subtraction of Derik Jones was massive. Sure, Klay can shoot better but Jones was making his open shots anyways. Klay can't defend like he used to, he's so flat footed now and barley even contests when guys are driving by him anymore. I just think OKC in contrast is far too aggressive defensively, I mean look how they swarmed Luka, nobody makes him play that way, and Kyrie barley got off either. That was sorta the story last playoffs as well but this time around there's no role player torching OKC because instead of Giddey as that extra help defender you now have guys like Caruso, Wallace, Wiggins who will take that spot who are all elite or close to being elite defenders. Heartenstein gives them the needed size that could've possibly won them the series last year vs Dallas. Yeah, this will still be a pretty good match up but honestly given the age of the Mavs now and having experienced them last year if OKC doesn't win in 6 or under I would be pretty disappointed. They should be better than Dallas this year, but of course not everything works in accordance to "should" so there's definitely a chance they could still lose to them.
@@Hatasiz_Cool SGA is single handedly keeping this league alive with his 2 point jumpers and middys Of all the videos to complain about 3s, the thunder is not it lol
What does SGA have to do with getting that recognition, he's out here being a better SG or PG than Luka keep it a buck 50. Should've been the MVP last year
1st half was boring to watch for Luka, literally any time he had the ball he was getting double teamed. Even Kyrie was getting doubled in the 1st half.
Adam Silver can fix this chit easily but will he? Looks like no. All fans get are cheap gimmicks like this mid season tourney and the "play in" tourney come the end of the season. Silly All Star game changes. That guy is the worst commissioner in all pro sports smh.

@@arguseyed9982 It never hurt Boston. Also, they usually don't shoot this much from distance. They genuinely just haven't gotten calls on offense all year.
Basketball commentators kinda piss me off fr. The amount of one-liners/last names said is crazy and the play by play talking isn’t really good either. If I were just listening to this game I wouldn’t have a clue what’s going on most of the time.
REFS TRYING TO HELP THE MAVS. I SWEAR OKC IS NOT BEING TREATED FAIRLY. DESPITE BEING THE NUMBER 1 TEAM WITH DRIVES TO THE BASKET ATTEMPTS. OKC IS ABLE TO GET 7.8 FT ATTEMPTS ONLY. MEANWHILE LAKERS ARE ALMOST DEAD LAST WITH 10 LESS ATTEMPTS THAN OKC, BUT HAS 7.3 FT ATTEMPTS ON THEIR DRIVES TO THE BASKET.
@lucky889s9 Shut up? Show me "facts" and not "opinions". SGA gets a lot of FT's due to the amount of drives to the basket he does. Goes to sgow your level of understanding towards the game of basketball. Not to mention, maturity as well. Good luck with the Mavs as both Irving and Klay are one injury away from not making it into the playoffs, but also are drama queens....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's really hard to watch the NBA anymore, so many three and less successful defensive schemes. The NBA needs to draft more defensive minded players in the next few years or their product will suffer for it
@@tolu619 No, Jokic has more talent around him. Are you serious? And Jokic is definitely not the MVP right now. He's what? 7th or 8th seed? Not enough...
The female commentator is so annoying! She didn't have the right rhythm and didn't even know when to speak! Maybe we don't need THREE commentators for a basketball game.
i love kevin harlan and Reggie Miller on the mic, but who is the third announcer ? I don´t feel like the announcer has the rhythm yet on when to say something or not
These 2 teams supposed to be the most exciting teams in today nba but yet once again it’s so boring. I always regret spending time watching today nba, for many years even in the finals, all stars etc etc, the money and time spend to watch these games can be better spend watching other sport leagues which are actually how men should play a competitive sport. Today NBA has become Harlem globetrotters league instead of a serious sport league. Hate to say this about NBA which I loved all my life, but NBA is dead.
Shai really got he most boring game. Everything the same, not 1 cool assists, only the same pull up and foul baiting, nobody can tell me they like this playstyle
Luka is so good he scored a total of 16 points!!!! Wow he must be top 5 of all times and he would beat mj,lebron and kobe in a 3v1. Hes earned the goat status 😂😂
Shooting 2 point jumpers by SGA and Williams making me love basketball again

Hartenstein has been huge during Chet’s absence

SGA at 65% shooting on 23 attempts? That's insane ! Also keeping in mind that he's heavily guarded and doesn't dunk.
heavily guard ? bro the defense was bad today
@yanndenechere1828 beat me to it, the Mavs defense was absolute trash, he was wide open on so many shots, not to take anything from his performance.
Kyrie, Luka and Klay are all mediocre perimeter defenders, yet Dallas can't win without them playing heavy minutes.
He was not heavily guarded at all 😂did you watch thr game. Mavs defense was sucking. And klank thompson was a target because he's a cone
How is this guy not the undisputed MVP right now lol 1st place in the west with no Chet.
Jalen williams plays like basketball the way played no flopping just play hard
PG Washington is not the best player of Dallas but is the most important one. When he is in the court everything is different.
They would lose worse when he comes back. Wait until Chet comes back.
@RafiqWashington-tx7id No. Look at the numbers. Dallas always win when he is on the court and less that the 50% when he is off.
@OmarOrtiz1 Stop overrating that guy because he's a average player. The Mavs have had a easy schedule and you still have 9 losses
Funny. Mavs fanboys still adore klank thompson. Mf just doing cardio on court most of the time and a target on defense. Y'all got scammed on the trade
Dont forget Klay thompson with 0 defense and 0 important points, dude is literally a liability with 20mn+ per game

Is there any young man who will argue otherwise?
Both great offense
But OKC has better defenders
Sga is a mvp contender
