The Oklahoma City Thunder were just eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in game six of their second round NBA Playoff series. Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Dereck Lively, PJ Washington, and others were too much for OKC to overcome in what was an insane down to the wire game six. Despite the exit, the Thunder have a lot to be proud of this season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proved he's a superstar and MVP level player on the Playoff stage, Jalen Williams showed what he's capable of as a two option and future All-Star, Chet Holmgren had a phenomenal rookie season, and others like Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, and Josh Giddey had promising moments with Mark Daigneault winning coach of the year along the way. It was a season nobody expected the Thunder to have and one they should be proud of. Now, the work starts with strengthening the group going forward to continue to compete in the Western Conference alongside great teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, and more. So, let's talk about it.

Shais middys scared me like stephs threes from the 22 WCF. It felt like he never missed a long 2
At least a midrange is worth 2 points, not 3.
More like Kawhi in 21
if he can convert those long twos to threes, he’s gonna be even scarier
Those are all push offs offensive fouls
Dude watching that second half I got frustrated watching shai take contested middy early in shot clock while we give up a 0-7 run. A theoretical cap is on our team if it’s built around the most invaluable shot possible. He does miss but he definitely makes them to and him being an actual mid range threat as well as a rim pressure and occasional three makes him tough to guard. I just wish he pulled back on middys in the crunch (ik it’s incredible to witness when he’s hot) but use the pressure of a middy or drive to create for others. It seems like thunder are okay with contested isolation plays from middy either from shai or dub. I wonder in this current era if that’s dependable.
ik you're hurting bro but this is the start of something amazing. hope this team reaches new heights in the upcoming years
It is weird how you would be extremely proud of how well OKC did in the regular season and now in the playoffs, that it still feels wrong that they are out. I think they would have had a better matchup vs the Nuggets and would have met one of the others in the WCF if they managed to win that.
They will be great next year too though, no doubt about that.
Credit to Dallas, such a great team🔥🙌
Dallas fan here. SGA is a PROBLEM. Gave me flashbacks of Kawhi Leonard with that automatic middy. OKC are on such an exciting pathway in sure the Mavs will meet them again in the playoffs in the future.
So sad. I had hoped they would get to conference finals. Now, they have the experience they need to keep going forward.
It was too much to ask from a young team.
Cason Wallace in game six was as unplayable if not more so than Giddey because he kept taking bad shots and couldn’t gaurd Luka on the switch. They literally hunted Wallace for switches
👏
Came so close. Unfortunately the mid season Heyward trade didn't pay off at all whereas Mavs got a massive boost from the PJ Washington and Gafford acquisitions which was definitely a different maker
Very underrated point. Looks like Hayward was playing not to mess up rather than being a solid contributor.
Was a great series.
Just a random mavs fan saying ignore the random bandwagon trolls. Good series.
Bandwagon. Nahhh there may be some but understand how wreckless Okc fans were talking before they got humbled.
Been a Mavs fan my whole life, live in Dallas my whole life. So when fans talk wreck-less they deserve to be heckled a little.
But this was a tough ass serious and a annoying one especially because of the fans mainly. But great team great series.
You prob not even from Dallas lol
@@TheBenchmarkLeague-cq9jo As an OKC fan, we had the same exact experience, mavs fans were god awful to us.
@@waldo_9338 yeah bro game 1 was when a okc fans were tripping out. But it’s expected it’s all fun. But great series bro respect to your team fa sho. Kyrie said it was one of the hardest series he’s been through so I believe that and respect that.
@@TheBenchmarkLeague-cq9jo nah but lot of losers out there who say wild things and if the nba depended on fans where teams are they'll be broke
You’re the only bandwagon. 😂 these OKC fans were talking shit before the series.
Cone, your team put up a heck of a fight the series, Game 6 could have gone either way. Sorry if anyone from the Mavs fan base heckled you :( Better days ahead, your guys time will come!
It was a tough loss for us to say the least, but we can use this as experience to push us forward and to make the moves required to reach that next level required to fully compete for a title
As a Mavs fan I agree. There is a reason why experience is so important in the Postseason. If your players, and more important coaching staff, learn some lessons from this run, the Thunder will be right back next season and for years to come. Just a small example. The last challenge was a mistake by Daigneault. It was clearly a foul and because your team challenged they lost the last timeout that was needed to advance the ball on the opposite side and get a last true shot to win. Cause even if Washington makes both, a 3 wouldve still won you the game.
But thats over. Overall I would be shocked if the Thunder do not reach the finals in the next 2-3 years.
@@Smido83I agree. I don't dislike the circumstance, but the call was clearly not gonna be overturned, so I'd rather have the timeout.
This game could have obviously gone either way. While game 4 would have probably gone to the Mavs if they make their freethrows at an anywhere close to normal rate. They shot 12 of 23 (52,1%) at the line, even Kyrie missed a freethrow that game, yikes!
I think the Thunder team can be proud on how well they played this season and in the playoffs. I think they had a bad matchup, but it was certainly possible for them to beat the Mavs. They would also have had a way better matchup vs the Clippers and a slightly better matchup vs the Nuggets, so the way the seeds worked out wasn't too much in their favor. We will see them be even better next year, in the strongest and deepest conference we've ever seen.
The Thunder has a very bright future. They can easily make changes and add pieces that will push them to championship status as soon as next season. But as far as the series goes, I'm happy the Mavs won. I never doubted Luka and Kyrie skill or experience when matched against a team of early-20 somethings.
Thunder gonna be good for a while. They should try and sign Nic Claxton. They will be competing with the Spurs for a long time.
Him, Hartenstein or Allen is fine by me
Mavs, Grizzlies, Wolves, Rockets?... You do know SGA is older than Luka right? And Chet is older than Lively
The spurs are a few years behind
@@karabomafa5609 shai is what a few months older than Luka? Why is that even a mention
Spurst first need a true Playmaker, better shooting and wing defense. They have a view years to go. For the next 2-3 years I see the Thunder on top, with the Rockets rising and Dallas still being dangerous. Cause a lot of the Dallas core (Luka/Washington/Gafford/Lively/Green/Hardy/DJJ) is also well under 30 and they have a view good years left together.
Mavs vs OKC will be a playoff match up series that we can look forward to watching in the west moving forward.
Hats off to Mavs, Kyrie refused to let them lose, with this experience OKC will be a force to be reckoned with in the wild wild WEST for years to come! ⚡
Bro shai is a MACHINE
yeah. it hurts for you but just happy you talking about em. okc a dangerous team going forward. great vid man. cant believe mavs won a series where luka is playing hurt and nerfed. kyrie looks happy in dallas too plus the moves the mavs made on the trade deadline and drafting lively was great.
Takes alot of class to give credit to an opponent that beat your team. Good on ya Cone
Congrats on a truly amazing season and series to the Thunder from a Mavs fan. The Thunder are ahead of schedule and they are going to be a problem over the next decade at least.
Bro both guys that killed us on Dallas we could of got
They don’t have the talent acquisition iq like that. Djj played for the bulls and Pj played for hornets so they got overlooked 😂
Gafferd came from wizards so yeah you have to have a good as eye to know who to get from those teams.
@@TheBenchmarkLeague-cq9joEveryone knew PJ and Gafford were damn good role players trapped on bad teams
DJJ is a career journeyman who went from a career non existent shooter to Ray Allen so that’s simply just tough luck
the thunder could basically have 3 of any player in the league if they really wanted to lmao. I respect holding your cards this season, and clearly it worked out
We facilitated both deals
@@lesternomo6578wouldn’t it have worked out if they had won? So since the lost it didn’t work.
Shout out to you cone y’all got a bright future did better than I ever yall would this season
I think we should attempt to get a jarret allen type guy or a deni avdija
Or both... you clearly have the assets!
Deni is like Giddey pro max and not in a bad way because he defends well and I think chip could do well with him
@alekhorsman6972 hes seriously a giddy with not as good passing but has real shooting presence from 3
I said it before the series and after game 1... You underestimated how important EXPERIENCE is in the Playoffs.
We missed a key role player, Luka is nowhere near 100%, your team is more talented, you had the best player in the series and we still won. If your players and coaches learn from this experience, you will be right back here next season and for years to come. This year was just to early. I am sure we meet again. Untill then, I wish you all the best. You are in a great situation and I am curious to see what your franchise will do in the next view months.
Experience isn’t the reason okc lost though all the points you made okc can easily just say well okc couldn’t make a 3 okc have a better team but the matchup itself wasn’t good the playoffs in general is all about matchups the higher seed don’t always advance
@@Wrestle_Kingdom And experience (mental strengh cause you've been in those situations) has nothing to do with 3P shooting? Or the different gameplans? OKC was willing to give up corner 3's to crowd the paint and prevent Luka/Kyrie from beating them on drives. They gave up the most corner 3's in the entire league. And also like 15-20 open 3's every game in this series. If you give ok-good shooters a ton of open looks, at some point they will shoot lights out! Dallas had a completely different gameplan. They tryed everything to run the Thunder off of the 3P line, or at least contest as good as humanly possible.
I agree that the matchup wasnt the best for the Thunder. But would Denver (great 3P shooting team, bigger, stronger as well) be a better matchup? Or the Wolves (Ant is 10 times faster then Luka, McDaniels an even better defender then DJJ and Gobert/Towns/Reid would dominate the boards even more then Dallas)?
The Dallas gameplan just worked a bit better then yours. We tryed to keep the role players from going off, but allowed SGA/J-Dub to play 1on1 basically every posession. One guy was great, the other wasnt. Coincidence that SGA ( 3rd PO run) was the one who played great and J-Dub (Po rookie) was the one who wasnt good? Or played Experience a role in this? You tryed to take the ball out of Lukas/Kyries hands and gave our role players the open shots, hoping they miss enough to win. Well, they didnt.
@@Smido83 all of what you said had nothing to do with experience also the main guys hitting 3”s was pj and djj and those two are not good shooters at all I agree the mavs gameplay worked better but again okc still got good looks just couldn’t covert
Mavs played great all credit to them but I the experience thing is so overblown consider the series was still close all it takes is 1-2 open 3”s to fall and this series is completely different the only player I would say experience played a factor in was jdub because he was terrible offensive everyone else I don’t think so
I'm going to be honest: I don't like OKC's coach. He might have gotten coach of the year, but I think he fiddles too much and adjusts too little - the theme of the playoffs, IMO, corner 3 problems and rebound problems were not entirely addressed. Maybe next season will convince me he's good instead of above average. I think the roster bailed him out a little bit, even without experience, they are a group of very capable players. If talent can be all retained (which I doubt), next year will be just as good.
@@Wrestle_Kingdom And 1 or 2 less silly TO by Dallas and the series is over in 5... point is, they didnt make those 3's. Part of why was our defensive gameplan, part of it was lack of experience and nerves.
Experience plays a role, if you belive it or not. There is a reason why a team as young and inexperienced as the Thunder never made it to the Conference Finals. 3P shooting is as much mental as talent based. Does it get into your head if you missed a couple and then get a look late in a game, or not?
And once more, you also saw the missing experience in coaching. You had one gameplan and one gameplan only. Give the Mavs role players open shots, but stop Luka/Kyrie from getting looks. Washington is a career 35% 3P shooter, and he is capable of hitting open uncontested 3's on a good basis. And DJJ did not shoot well overall. 1st game 1/3, 2nd game 1/5, 3rd game 0/3, 4th game 1/5 ... but if you constantly get completely open looks, at some point even below average shooters will get into a rythm. I am not even sure if DJJ took one truely contested 3 all series.
At some point your team shouldve tryed something different after Dallas roleplayers made some shots. But I am not sure your team can play different defensive systems. Thats also something experience gives you.
But whatever. You think experience is irrellevant, I think its extremely important in the Postseason. Now your young guys and coaches got a good ammount. Lets see how they use this in the next years and see what they learn from this.
I absolutely hate all the hate that is given to this team. They’re young, and getting eliminated in the second round is kinda expected by a young team. They just happened to end the rebuild faster than we expected and win 57 games. As most like to say, haters gonna hate, but OKC will build off from this season and do something special someday.
Making the second round is great progress from losing in the play in. I’m expecting the West Conference Finals next season or better.
You can’t even call this an upset! Dallas was better than their record suggested all season long
They were.
The one seed losing is an upset lol
@@jpr3680 tbh Minnesota should’ve been #1
@@thecoolrichIf they should have been the 1 seed, they would have
If you consider this Mavs team is a lot better than the team before their Gafford / Washington trade, I wouldn't call it much of an upset. It is more a bad matchup for them, with the very good paint protection of the Mavs completely choking off the team that relies on driving to the basket more than almost any other team.
The Mavs are also a little bit too big and despite Lu Dort being an amazing player this playoffs, Luka Doncic is just a bit too much for anyone to handle. Unlike in the first round, where the refs didn't bother to call any of the obvious fouls he made on Ingram, he actually came into foul trouble nearly every game against the Mavs.
Luka is just a little too smart and actually shows that he is being fouled all the time. They didn't call even HALF of it, but still enough to make Dort not able to completely throw Luka off. It also helps that however strong Dort is, Luka is strong enough to play through it and can also outplay him with his handle if he really needs to.
Looking back and reflecting on the Ingram vs Dort matchup, I think Luka just got away with way more, probably because he is a little sneaky about it and probably because he still one of the biggest stars in the league. Ingram never showed when Lu Dort was fouling him, or even completely hanging on his hips and when he tried to push off a little to create some space, he got the offensive foul called against him almost every time.
I think the refs should make some changes with this for next season, as clearly fouls should be called the same way, not by how much you react to it. If the defense is allowed to be extremely physical, the offense should have the same option, you cannot call the game in an inconsistant way.
I really think that nobody is giving OKC enough credit!
They were SOOOOOO GOOD!!! They wouldn’t miss sometimes!
But, let’s go mavs!!!!
As okc fan they exceeded my expectations now in terms of the off season I don’t think they going to make any big moves outisde of extending some guys and maybe trade for a vet
I hope okc draft kel el ware or Daron Holmes and then trade Giddey for a big forward Deandre hunter,DFS etc
This team just have to develop together and continue to improve
This team needs a rebounder. It could be a center, it could be a PF.
Day 3 of asking for a video about paul geroge😊 Also congrats on the sponsor🎉
Go get Lauri Markkenen and Myles Turner and the Thunder will be the favorites in West💯
In the playoffs having some depth curveballs to throw at opposing teams can be the difference.
Ugh that was a tough one
But I can be proud of our team for fighting until the end. Beats getting blown out.
I'm almost sad the series is over, despite that the team I like most won. I expected the Thunder to maybe win this game, so the final game 7 could be the deciding one. Still, we can look back at a fun series, despite nearly everyone underperforming except SGA and Washington, due to the insane defensive activity of both teams.
OKC has a bright future, they were much better than everyone expected and could have very well made the WCF if they had a slightly better matchup, or a little more consistancy with their offense. They swept a not 100% Pelicans team quite handily, who despite missing Zion and having a not yet 100% healthy Ingram, still are on the of the strongest defenses in the league. I was very impressed by how good the OKC defense was, they were a lot better than I expected.
SGA looked like that MVP runner up he was this year, being incredibly clutch and having an insane midrange game. (adjusting to the paint defense of the Mavs) I'm not too worried about anyone else, even Giddey might just improve into what they hoped him to be. J-Dub is already a fantastic player, Chet and Cason are just incredibly talented rookies, showing almost no signs of their inexperience in these playoffs. Dort, Joe, Wiggins, J-Will, they have a very deep roster with a lot of good players.
With their treasury of picks and enough room on their salary cap, they can go for an ever stronger run next season. I just hope they don't go for someone that is ruining their amazing chemistry and keep most of this core intact and don't gamble on someone outside of the organisation too much.
Great vid as always G, the whole league jelous of okc at this point😂
Thunders best player in the game, not in the series, that guys headed to the WCC. He has a great middy no doubt that’s freaking lethal, very good D too.
Need a rebounding big for the offseason, Some options would be like JV, Nance, Adams, Edey, Clarke just to name a few
I'm going to be honest, I don't like Nance, even if he could work in this team specifically.
All those names are terrible and wouldn’t help okc at all
Jarrett Allen would be a great option for OKC
@@theprizmoftheizm idk of he available
@@Thebeast25ac All those picks OKC got they can sacrifice a pick or two 🤣
Ggs thunder fans, but only the thunder fans like Cone
The Thunder will learn from this and will come back even better.
OKC should try trade for John Collins, since his deal is only 2 years the risk would be minimal and if they want to trade for another guy they can use his contract and Giddey, it is a really solid deal
It’s time for OKC to cash in their chips and go all in to win. Get a big and a 2nd star and go for the chip.
I agree with him on not rushing anything this season though needed to let the kids experience so adversity but now that window is wide open and he knows now what we all knew that this team needs more size down low but the offensive rebounds killed us and cost us the series without shooting the lights out u got to rebound so we need a big that can bang get boards but can still space the floor and another shooter and like i said it be over for the league easy
This mentality is very flawed and a lot of players talk about it, you think every year your gonna be right there to win it all and then it doesn’t happen or things don’t fall that way so we’ll have to see
Oh also, if they win the challenge I think continuation would’ve had the Kyrie basket count. But definitely the thunder don’t get the ball. But yeah, desperation challenge fore sure.
My goal before this season was to make the league respect us. I say we accomplish that 😤
THUNDER UP 🌩️🌩️
Also I still miss Trey Mann
I went in wanting Dallas to win . But the thunder made me question that . I expect Shai to get at least 2 mvps and 1 championship in his career
2015-18 Raptors 2.0
Who okc?
Has that vibe, but it's early to say.
Braindead take
You released a video 2 weeks ago talking about how the Thunder proved all the doubters wrong by beating the Zion-less Pelicans and the Thunder fans jumped on me for questioning what exactly they proved in the first round. I once again ask how did the Thunder prove people wrong this playoffs?
I'm afraid you'll never get an answer 😂
basically the people that said shai was gonna drop but he rose apart from that thunder met expectations
By making it to playoffs and second round at all regardless of circumstances
@@marcoscruz16 SGA was great, he was getting single coverage most of the time to fit Dallas’s planned scheme and he made them pay. But the team as a whole did not do anything to shut up the doubters regarding their inexperience.
@@aarondeatherage7678 i agree i think he’s js saying the future is bright if jdub is what some people think he can be and they add some rebounding and another creator/shooter
Think Presti punted this season at the deadline we virtually did nothing in reality paying Haywood 30 mil to ride fhe bench instead of actually getting frontcourt help so im just calculating he doesn't want to mess with the growth process but damn we could of at least got to the Finals if hed addressed that need so its now on him because the window is open now and we all know what we need to actually get a championship 🏆 so presti this off season its on u bub
Of course we want every game to go our way, but if this is the worst we’re going to be for the next 5 years, count me IN.
They perhaps need a big and another star like player(or someone on the team to rise to that level)
Players I think Thunder should try to trade for before next postseason: Deandre Ayton, mikal bridges, Brandon ingram. Trade Giddey and some of your picks. Chet could put on weight and become more physical which would make it less necessary to go get a big but based off how he played in this series they need another rebounder. Either way, they shouldn’t make too many moves until they see how this team improves next season.
The players who killed OKC , OKC helped the mavs aquire 😭 Now thats hard to stomach 😂
If they reverse the call, they should count Kyrie's put-back, too.
They are capable of winning multiple rings that’s should be their goal
of course it sucks to lose like that but okc still had a great season and no one expected them to do all of what they did so they will be back in the playoffs competing for a long time
Bro the mavs fans I’ve dealt with are so annoying. Blaming the refs the entire series. They have a solid team, I wish they’d just admit our Thunder team played them tight the whole series instead of making an excuse.
Ah, Mr. Three “I’ll never acknowledge the opposing teams defense vs the thunder.” Cone.
He literally did when speaking about the Mavs.
@@urbaindelva7869That was like forced and he didn't even elaborate their defensive strategy..
They really need a C and better scoring option at SF. Move Chet Holmgren to PF. Relegate Dort as an option off the bench
Dort was amazing in these playoffs. He shot incredibly well from 3 and defended and rebounded at a very high level. I don't think you should move him to the bench unless they have an equally versatile defender that can shoot. (spoiler: they don't)
@@pinobluevogel6458he didn’t shoot well but he should be like a sg the team is kinda undersized except for shai
@@marcoscruz16 Well, I rectify/clarify myself, I should have said he had a low FG% in the Dallas series overall. His FG% was better in the Pelican's series, as he was left open a lot. But he did shoot 39% from three the entire playoffs, which is still really strong if you consider he took 64 threes, quite a few.
That is pretty solid for a guy that is mainly in there for his amazing defense. Ofcourse he didn't stop Luka, but he did slow him down quite a bit and made him less efficient.
@@pinobluevogel6458 honestly he’s a great defender but the main reason luka was kinda slow in the first few games was bc bro was playing on like 4 injuries
@@marcoscruz16 True, we saw him veer back when some of that intensive treatment is starting work for him. I don't think he can be slowed down much when healthy, even by a good defender.
Your prediction wasn't as behind as mine for OKC. I had them for 54 wins tied for 2nd place in the west. lol
Sorry, I know OKC is your team. Must be heartbreaking to see them eliminated😕. But they’re young and can only learn from the experience✊🏾⚡️

Over the KD team... Or are you just too young? That team was better than this one, shame they simply couldn't keep everyone.
@@VeteranVandal I never said better
If I’m any team looking to trade with okc I’m asking for stupid amounts of picks looool, will that be an issue for okc?
What about chet rebound problem and the whole team rebounds as well?
That's gonna be the off-season focus, I'd say.
Honestly the whistle was on sgas side all series dude was launching into defenders and getting away with it. That being said they are young and will only get better. Luka on one leg was incredible albeit not efficient. Good series imo
Adam Silver and Tony Brothers tried to force Game 7 but Luka had sum'n in store for them
How are you accusing the refs of cheating when you won! Thats so lame
Yeah, No
Wtf is this…. Might as well rename the video “Thunder Fan Coping.” 😂 It’s a horrible take to omit that Lively is actually the younger one instead of Chet 💯 Then you forget to mention that Luka is younger than SGA 😮💨 Let’s not forget PJ is also barely 25 🎯 Cry harder bro 😂😂
thats exactly what it is

Don’t worry bro I team gone too. They did well tho.
If Only the Thunder got a True Center before the trade deadline and Giddey might have to go somewhere else to shine unfortunately
Thunder needs a Rebounding Center and move Chet to the 4
Did they have a real shot at conference finals? Idk about that. American media focuses too much in the regular season stuff. This was an inexperienced team that has a shot next year, but this year it was just hope making people overvalue regular season results. Next season I expect this team to be in top 3.
In my opinion they shouldn’t have traded Vasilje Micic and instead had traded Gidey
As long as Luka is a Mav, OKC will never make it past them
Yall talking like Luka got 4 chips or sum. Ik it was in 6 but it def was a difficult series for the mavs
You say that like they manhandled OKC, every game was close except for the first game lol.
OKC is coming back next season and with this experience, they are securing 60+ wins.
Luka is gonna get bounced in the conf finals and then what? Run it again with a 5th seed caliber team? Mavs are not as good as people are hyping them to be.

The priority for okc should be to get lengthy wings in the offseason.
They have wings... they need a true Center. Someone like Allen, or Hartenstein, or Claxton...
Why no giddy thumbnail
Giddey, their picks back, and more draft capital to bring back PG.
Will not happen. OKC owners don’t want to pay up yet and PG wants a max . 100 % Next year OKC will not make it past the 2nd round again
How to avoid the nba finals forever:
4:41 4 free throws but on 7 attempts. From what I’ve seen I think Luka is a lot better than Shai. I think people are really high on the 2 way play of SGA and rightfully so. However, many times I felt Shai isolated for too long and was not able to make the right read instead was more on hero ball. A couple easy passes to Chet for the flush were missed as he rolled to the rim. With Luka he’s bringing the best out of all players on the floor. Luka’s playmaking puts him on a completely different level compared to Shai.
Well if it was a no-call Kyrie got the rebound and laid it in so no matter what we’re up 1 and more than likely win anyways so let’s no hyper focus on that call there guy.
Regardless the next 2 season we will run the league as long as presti addresses the needs another big that can space the floor and another shooter and i don't think anyone can stop this team from a ship other than the man that cost us one the first time around lol 😂 i believe hes learned his lessons
Okc fans shouldn’t be mad they are a young team only going to get better and better also remember they have a lot of picks that they can use for a superstar but yeah it does suck for them to lose after that foul how it went but okc has a lot of picks 😂don’t forget !!
Hell Yea! Great WIN for the MAVS!! 1,2,3 Disney World, NO Cancun for you kids! Some much for Jenny and the new kids on the block! JLo and JDog are a JOKE! And The Dorkster is a CLOWN! should be in WWF with all the Flopping and Flag Fouls! Karma is what got the Punk OKC delinquents what they Deserved! No more Dorkster trying to feel up our players! Go MAVS!!!
we lost to free throws 😵💫
Heartbreaking loss but we got it next year
Mavs are gonna win the finals in 5
(Im delusional)

Dayum💀
Mavs to be 4-0’d next round god bless 😭

I thought Joe and wigs are on team options? Do we lose bird rights of we take the option?

Mavs were good. We got next
see see thats what u get when u start the game (playoffs) in easy difficulty then suddenly it becomes expert mode... but OKC fought well.. no shame there ✌
We need a big man and a wing-type player
Obviously your young and don't fully remember that a window can close fast if the wrong decisions are made
As a fellow Thunder fan, I know the league hasn't seen the last of this young team.
Mavs are a younger team. 🤡
I agree, the shai Oklahoma City thunders guard is just as good a the guard Luka Dončić.
They need Andre drummond
Peotic justice? SGA losing by free throws. Great team, they will be. Guys get older and get more defensive. Then dude think about Sha getting a passing game. Even though I believe they would be better with another point gaurd. Giddy should have just been a passing and defensive guy but oh well.
Hopefully Dallas fans enjoy it while it lasts. Gonna look real dumb getting swept by the Wolves or Nuggets lmao.
Yeah ok. Cope harder
Plz trade giddy , he’s legit has no offensive game and no perimeter game. Gordon Hayward can go too for sure
Just another one season wonder... Play-in team next season.
Ridiculous take. They just went from a play-in team last year to the #1 seed this year. Consider what would have to happen for them to fall back into the play-in.
Actual degen take
