2024 NBA Playoffs: West Semifinals: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-2)

[Raps in 4]

Jason Kidd is a top-5 coach in the NBA.

[garrick]

OKC needs a real PG, Giddy being a non shooter and poor defender is not it.

[Yuri36]

Terrible play by Doncic on last few possessions

[durden_tyler]

Hmm, Thunder just have to settle down and they'll be back in this game. Cut it down to 5 by halftime please so we don't have another blowout.

[BigDan245]

wtf is luka doing?

[kacey ring]

Mavs have got too cute on last few possessions. Cut that out, please.

[JustBuzzin]

OKC has to get rid of Dort

they are playing 4 vs 5 with him out there

whats exactly does he do?

The SG version of Rudy gobert

He plays defense, but damn he just looks out of place out there. Dude needs to go be a TE or something.

If you watch Doncic & SGA on the same floor for just five minutes, it is impossible to claim SGA should be in MVP conversation with Jokic, and Doncic is at best 3rd. SGA is hiding and allowing Giddey, aka Mr. -15 in 10 minutes, to run the offense while Doncic being assertive every single second...

I mean if you have the memory of a goldfish sure.

SGA is 31/10/8 on 50/47/90 in this series with 3 blocks and a steal per game.

You don't have to attack me because you're angry of your team. The score was like 8-12 when I wrote this post...

I didnt say SGA can't score 30 again. He can, but it is not true that he's clearly ahead of Doncic. He's hiding and letting his team getting their ass kicked by Doncic and Co. And I hate Mavs, lol.

Luka Tha Don does what he wants when he wants.

I still would want him on my team if OKC wants to get rid of him Dallas would take him. He can guard the best wings in the League.

[JustBuzzin]

OKC and Minny had us fooled.

It was too good to be true.

[G R E Y]

Gidey and Kyle Anderson have the same flaws for playoff ball. Both just way too slow that slow paced old man game is cool until you see a legit team in playoffs. Neither a reliable shooter either

SloMo at least defends well and is a high IQ connector piece. Big strong body, knows how to play.

Kyle has been a mixed bag in these playoffs. His minutes in this Denver series leave a lot to be desired. His lack of footspeed hurts the Wolves defense.

Fair. Depends on the role you need him to play. Quick he is not. But at least the physicality and IQ are there. He can certainly provide post D in half court and be positively bothersome.

I mean it was just a really dumb statement.

Josh Green turned THJ into a permanent DNP CD wow

Josh Green turned THJ into a permanent DNP CD wow

He'll play in the second quarter.

Assuming OKC lose this game and series, wonder what (if any) moves they will make in the off season?

Getting a decent back up big man for Chet is essential.. And a more capable floor running PG than Giddey.

Presti needs to start spending from his massive war chest of assets.

Back on the Mavs, Gafford has been an absolute beast for Dallas. And what makes it funnier is that he would have been perfect for the Lakers too (exactly what they need)

[JustBuzzin]

Crazy seeing the Nat'l media talk up PJ Washington.

He was a nobody in Charlotte. Now people acting like he was a good player all along smh.

They disrespect our team like we aint out here handing out missing pieces for contenders. Charlotte Stand Up!

[rockmanslim]

2011 deja vu with this Mavs D, they have Marion -> PJ, and not 1 but 2 Tysons -> Gafford/Lively

[basketballRob]

The OKC coach looks nervous.
