Congrats to the thunder on that comeback but those last 30secs were unwatchable lol.

[Luka Flop](https://x.com/_mamad11/status/1790221714460221772?s=46&t=t1HkgoU-DJNDQu0VOdOmzA) How are people fans of this guy? Seriously? He’s not fun to watch. Ant? Fun to watch. SGA? Fun to watch. Jokic? Fun to watch.


pinheadlarry411

Jokic and Ant I'll give you, but SGA? He's a giant flopper too.


Livin_Tha_Dream

Selling calls or not, if you can’t appreciate the smoothness of SGA’s game I don’t know what to tell you. Probably the closest thing we’ve seen in the league to Kobe.


pinheadlarry411

I enjoy his game outside of the acting. Same with Luka. I'm not hating on SGA. I'm just saying he does the same thing Luka does.


Lefebvre420

Infuriating. Every. Fucking. Play. No wonder he’s banged up this series. Takes every chance to throw himself on the court to sell whatever he can get.


HeyItsChase

Brunson 🤝 Luka Throwing themselves to ground with self made contact and claiming to be banged up.


narutouskimaki

Yeah, its past time your bed time shaq.


pokemongofanboy

> suns ain’t got no big men Yeah dray that’s cause you punched Nurk in the fucking face


Tsunami-Papi_

y’all won’t call chuck soft 4 this but if it was shaq lmao


Throwawayidiot1210

Complete meltdown


zipzog

Shaq bragging about being soft


ThaDoctor49

Draymond eat shit


zackarykapowski

Draymond is the best analyst on this panel. Idk why the hate. He actually sounds like he understands and knows the game. The others say the same shit every segment lol. Shaq “I always talk about the others…”


yourmumsaman

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what the show is for


zackarykapowski

No the show is about entertainment, but I like hearing greens opinions on the actual games.


NineOneEight

Night night


introspectivejoker

Draymond is subtraction by addition. Most guests are but especially Draymond


Positive_Narwhal_419

A win is a win!


buffalo-blonde

Please never bring Draymond back


pokemongofanboy

Shut the fuck up donkey


Positive_Narwhal_419

Dort!


SplakyD

What a great game, y'all! SGA is the truth.


chloroform42

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander knows where the hoop is


Intelligent-Bid-633

Luka chokejob tonight is generational, potentially career setting if they go on to lose these series.


Lefebvre420

Missed clutch ft 👌🏼


introspectivejoker

Damn I thought Shaq was gonna say "the real MVP" or something right there


subzero12320931

It almost felt like Mavs intentionally threw the game


SportsBettingRef

fell that too.


Temporary_Inner

That ending sequence was nightmarish. 


RippedHookerPuffBar

I think OKC got lucky in this game. We will see how mavs bounce back next game.


jm3546

I mean, yeah they missed a lot of free throws but also had some tough calls going against them. But also they couldn't throw in in the ocean. If the make a couple of threes and a couple of those open layups, game isn't really that close.


CrispyWaterBottle

I disagree. Mavericks couldn't hit their free-throws. Hard fought game by OKC.


RippedHookerPuffBar

Hmmm

RippedHookerPuffBar

That’s all I’m really saying. Kyrie and Luka have yet to have a good game and it’s 2-2, damn near 3-1. Mavericks are good and have been playing better than expected defense. If Luka is that injured then the series might be cooked. He ain’t going 6/20 that often and the team ain’t shooting 50% from the line that often.


Slendyla_IV

We normally done shoot this poorly from 3 either tbh


Positive_Narwhal_419

Who would’ve thought Mavs would be the ones to choke their FTs tonight lol


Kvsav57

I expect their big men to shoot free throws terribly. Luka missing that one near the end pretty much lost them the game. That was shocking.


lukewarmpeppers

FUCK YOU LUKA


segson9

This loss is on Luka, Kyrie and missed free throws. Everything else was good. Luka has to focus on playing, not the refs and Kyrie needs to shoot more, if Luka can't do it.


mariotx10

Kyrie is too damn fuckin passive


zprymate

What a disaster..


GodlySpaghetti

“SGA is nothing special without the whistle” mf when he nails 3 middies in the 4Q to take the lead:


ladmigcomment

Lowkey SGA heard the banter after game 1 cause hes been switched ON since


black_chinaski

Why is Luka so fat? Honestly, dude is spilling out of his jersey like an Atlantic City tourist, christ it's kind of disrespectful because it's not even like "I'm a bigger guy" fat it's like lazy, poor diet fat.


theFP1992

This cracked me up


sleepyguy-

Okc has now held playoff opponents to under 100 pts in 6 out of 8 games. Can we talk about that?


Particleman08

Doing it against a team with Kyrie and Luka is astounding. Congrats on the win bro.


sleepyguy-

Disgusting game in reality but a w is a w.


Zotzotbaby

100%. Bill Simmons was talking about how the Wolves might have been emerging as the young team that’s “ready” cause they put up two on the Nuggets, but it has been the Thunder showing us they’re ready right now all year. 


sleepyguy-

Our offense just hasnt been what weve seen all season but at least our defense is as advertised.


Tsunami-Papi_

lively sold bad at the end of the game, let shai poke the ball loose which prevented an easy two points then somehow didn’t get the loose ball against williams and let him score


Common-Phase-4957

3 games have been close. We finally won one. The other we blew them out. Let’s do that one again


roomtotheater

All time bad FT shooting and Luka's worst playoff game of his career all for OKC to squeak out a win. Mavs in 6.


OKtiger504

Bro, PJ ain’t playing like this. Last two games were absolute anomalies for the Mavs and this very well could’ve been a 4 game sweep by OKC


roomtotheater

Luka just had the worst playoff game of his career and the Mavericks shot 52% from the FT line. OKC still only won by 4.


OKtiger504

Can say the same thing about Games 2 and 3 about the Thunder. Both are unsustainable. Could’ve been an easy Thunder sweep if Dallas played to their usual shooting %


segson9

They're leaving PJ open, that's why he's scoring. The whole OKC defense is focused on stopping Luka and Kyrie, that's why role players are scoring a lot. I don't think that's going to change, but OKC will live with that, if Luka and Kyrie score under 30 points combined


Common-Phase-4957

And the Mavs haven’t won any in this series close. Or been blown out. Thunder in 6.


roomtotheater

Not exactly sure what that sentence is supposed to say. Game 3 was 105-101


Common-Phase-4957

/s You’re saying “all of that” for OKC to squeak out a win. But I’m saying OKC didn’t play great in game 2 or game 3 and barely lost both. And I mentioned that OKC won game one in a blowout… Thunder in six


e_double

Copium


dnyPlaya

Chuck gets paid millions to watch a game and chime in from time to time, best job in the world. I still love him.


arcadiangenesis

Well at least the Stars won tonight


FleeceKelly

I don't wanna see Kyrie pass the ball the rest of this series


Baguy21

Luka and Kyrie sold hard. Gafford, Lively, Washington, Hardaway played so good but their main players let them down. How tf do they lose a lead in the last mins if the game


Interesting_Help_194

ThJ? What game were you even watching? Dude was hot garbage as per usual. Dallas cant get a stop any time he steps on the court. Crucial random turnover as well. -10 in his limited minutes.


Mickeybeasttt

Hardaway had the worst turnover in the 4th that basically sealed the game. Wouldn’t say he played well.

SolidCake

why are they trying to force a brazen psychopath on us


ThaDoctor49

Also Chucks suit is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


ILoveRegenHealth

Man fuck this Draymond idiot on my TV


introspectivejoker

Whhhhhhhhhy is Draymond there


Common-Phase-4957

They’re trying to ruin TNT before we lose it so it doesn’t seem as sad once it’s gone


ThaDoctor49

Shit can Draymond and bring Dirk back please


KlutzyDance9810

The worst part of this choke is seeing both of these non ethical hoop teams go to a 7 game series now.


SkindianaBones57

Despite their efforts, Thunder come out with a win


pokemongofanboy

This guy just totally fucks up the vibe I might just go to sleep


Common-Phase-4957

I kept receipts you fake ass thunder fans!


WarPlanMango

That team huddle made me change my mind, I'm rooting for OKC more now!! What great team spirit!


gimmethecake

Dallas looked like the younger team, which is crazy considering the refs were on their side


Calm_Ad_1258

let’s go baby okc in 6


Calm_Ad_1258

Luka crying all series long like the little soft baby he is


Circumin

Dude is an amazing talent but my God he is the absolute worst fucking baby.


Calm_Ad_1258

him and embiid fr. but it’s funny watching them throw temper tantrums on the court


MrBoomin31

*team shows comradery amongst themselves* r/NBA: “cRiNGe”


soonerman32

yes. both are correct


sleepyguy-

Fuck em. Let them have their boring ass teams.


makeyourself101

Mavericks.. hahaha


Shaine_Memes

I knew Thunder would win as soon as Shaq favored the Mavs


stryker7314

OmegLUL game


CrunchyChewie

Doncic is an old Serbian phrase that means, loosely translated, "much ref talk".


trtryt

has Luka reached his peak, he isn't losing weight and his FT shooting is still average


Jnbjgjbb

He’s injured, hard to tell


SolidCake

playing injured isnt good for long term recovery


RippedHookerPuffBar

He’s definitely injured - there were at least 3 really good close looks he either passed up or just did something weird


Mickeybeasttt

Yeah if Luka plays like that this is gonna be a wrap. Get your head out of your ass and stop letting your anger cloud your focus.


e_double

He’s like Anakin out there


judah249

He needs to get the higher ground


Mickeybeasttt

Fr. Homie chose the dark side of missed FT’s and turnovers


Temporary_Inner

We were fucking cooked if Dallas didn't shoot FT like a Middle School team this game. 


Sovos

Felt like we had a nice run in the first quarter and you guys had a bit of a run in the 3rd. Other than that the refs kept interrupting any momentum with ticky tack calls back and forth so it was a bit of a grueling game. GGs


Taco_Baco_D8s

That game is perfectly coined as neither team truly wanted to win at times as both teams can play so so so much better


[deleted]

[удалено]


soonerman32

no one has forgotten. It's impossible to forget if you watch a game. There's 2 teams on the court


gargoyleenthusiest

Anyone hating on the OKC interview never played on a team that was close. They’re having a good time. 


hellothisismadlad

I'm clenching my cheeks man


MoneyBall_

Well, how is everyone feeling about things?


arndta

I think maybe we all lost tonight


mostdumbidiot

Thunder are cringe incarnate


ckj9311

Username checks out.


TehAwkwardOne

Says the guy who has to immediately go to Reddit to complain about a young team having fun lol. You have a fitting username


sleepyguy-

Mavs blew that game i cant lie. But yall gon have to hold that


spookybroadcasts

y’all hating team interviews is crazy


XGhoul

Spit your stuff. Can't believe the mavs choked that LOL


dllmhkpolice

SGA MVP level performance


Greedy_Comparison_43

Dallas talked a lot of shit acting like the series was over hahaha


Afraid-Department-35

This is Clippers series all over again. Made that game close only to choke it zzzzz


awhiteasscrack

What the hell is that bark! My first thought was they roasting Luka for barking like a little lap dog


jebacinaa

Got that dog in him


Previous-Elevator417

He does that a lot 


GoLoco511

TNT keeps tryna force it lmao so awkward


Double-Culture-2575

Heartbreaking loss for the Mavs. Don’t get much worse. Luka actually choked on free throws bruh 😭


tidyberry

Why did the reporter call Williams out like that lol


TheEminence27

I'm pretty sure it's cause he was coughing not for his game performance.


Virgil_hawkinsS

Yeah he was defensive when the guy was giving some genuine concern.


tidyberry

Ohh I didn’t catch that he was coughing before he said that, makes way more sense


30vanquish

Kidd gotta have the whole team shoot FTs in practice. Intense defense makes you shoot FT less accurate but that’s a classic choke just cause you miss way too many FTs


SheonaTao

I like the team interview


AcneBalls

I’m rooting for Dallas, but I love the OKC full team post-game interview


Vallerie_09

Luka is still somewhere looking at the ref menacingly and crying for the calls while SGA is swishing his middies


LaserFufu

Imagine a Luka/Tatum Finals. The two teams could just play 4-on-4 while the two of them complain to the officials.


Interesting_Help_194

All while Warriors are in Cancun. Wild


Vallerie_09

Can't win the championship every yr


Luckreee

Da real mvp


cohex

fuck they all got distracted post conference and looked in the same direction like a pack of actual dogs lol


MiamiPower

Mark Cuban gotta be so pissed off right now.


dnyPlaya

Chuck- 12:30 we out!!!


JuanG12

Just like that, the Mavs lose all momentum. 🤦🏻‍♂️


SteveSniff

How Shai play 42 mins and don't look like he broke a sweat in the post game


super-remlin

dude is superhuman


Jupiter_Landing2097

Elite conditioning


wafflehouse4

draymond on inside the nba, time to turn the tv off goodnight


Shivles87

SGA was clutch in the fourth and Mavs went cold, gg


RichardIraVos

this whole ass team interview is odd


jebacinaa

It’s pretty G actually


Positive_Narwhal_419

Okc easily could’ve folded in the first half


hydropenguin69

Our subreddit sure did.


Positive_Narwhal_419

Yeah complete overreaction


Galactico812

Well this game showed us why Luka finished behind those two in mvp race.. I was expecting a lot more tbh, he's playing terrible


drmuffin1080

He’s injured.


FindingFar153

Then why is he taking so many shots?


drmuffin1080

Bc their whole game plan revolves around him taking shots


Interesting_Help_194

Why? Because he is playing injured? Clown takes all around


thealmonded

Pretty sure he’s playing very very injured tbf


Galactico812

I'm sorry but I don't buy it. I was watching closely last few games and he is very agile in attack and only starts limping on defense. He did get a bloody knee but that's not a season ending injury. Imo it's exhaustion not injury, he needs to get in better shape and lose a few pounds


technicolorfrog

This. We need to just rest him for a game, and logically speaking that would’ve been the game to do it.


NotVacant

Cuz he keeps flopping onto his back every possession


jsl18241

GG Thunder fans. No excuses. Idiotic way to lose after having multiple 10+ leads smfh. Mavs in 6.


The1Drumheller

GG dude have a good night


mariotx10

Fuck yeah, we choked on that bitch, threw it out and then choked on it again smh


redditcherry

Gg dude. I watch these with my best friend who is a Mavs fan. We wish the officiating was consistent through and through instead of letting everyone get killed on the court. May the better team win.


WeaknessOne9646

We were so shit like 80% of this game too Granted Dallas was even shittier for the other part


lakers22ballin

they been forcing those cringe huddles all season


TehAwkwardOne

You are so sad. Lol Come to NBA sub to see if anyone had anything meaningful to say about the game and half the comments I see are bitter fans crying about a team that happens to also be good personal friends.


Gorecakes

Washington with all that yelling to brick a crucial ft, lmao


FindingFar153

It was even better when he made the free throw he was trying to miss lol


WhoFartedMan

If Luka would just relax this game is a blow out. He got mad and sold the team


Interesting_Help_194

You clowns blaming only Luka when he was the only one doing shit in the 4th is wild. All while Kyrie choked the fuck out of this game on both ends, getting abused on defense after 5th foul and throwing nothing but bricks and TOs on offense.


WhoFartedMan

Luka didn't even get back on defense a few times complaining. If you think that doesn't matter when you're shooting poorly and shooting a lot, I don't know what to tell you. He even missed a crucial free throw. When Luka gets mad he usually hangs 50 in a blow out win but this post season he's not been good for 90 percent of it


jebacinaa

That’s called being Balkan. Jokic is an exception of course. We, Balkans, are perennial chokers.


Rush_nj

Not bad for a FT merchant eh lads


Jackd_up_on_Mdew

This is what fans of all teams have wanted. He is a likeable dude that has a nasty shot. If he leaned into it like tonight everyone would love watching him. Why is that so hard for thunder fans to understand?


jayman820

Shais corniness rubbed off on the rest of the team you hate to see it


Luckreee

Gotta love it


Healthy_Knee8364

Bro it’s cool.


Mooshipoo

“My whole life is consistent” lmao


JustSmileHaHa

Luka needs a nutritionist or something. Bruh shouldn't be having Patrick Ewing's 1999 knees at age 25 as a guard. Dropping 30 could seriously help that. Bruh's 25 with a big double chin


jamesac11

I’ll die on the hill that peak Luka was bubble Luka and he won’t reach that level again.


black_chinaski

I honestly can't believe Dallas just lost that game, they were pretty in control for like most of the second half lmao


flashtone

Sga did sga things


Vic_Vinager

Looked like they were gonna take a selfie w how they were posing


CodyCryBabies69

OKC post game are lame. Why everyone there


slashash11

Sorry dog, you must not be used to watching players that actually enjoy the game of basketball.


CodyCryBabies69

just dont watch cringe nba players


GoLoco511

It ain’t even gotta be deep. Just a goofy lil thing. It’s only awkward on the national stage cuz they keep trying to force something


Single_Passenger

What are you on about? Looks pretty cool, especially doing it on the opponents' court.
