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

Hubie should retire man this is elder abuse, like who thought it’d be cool to let a man of 90 call playoff games? You can barely even hear him. But it’s ESPN and they’re basically brain dead over there so it’s not too surprising.

Agree. I used to love Hubie - 10 years ago. What a night and day difference with Legler last night.

Luka is on his HC ,he needs to shut up and play to win with his play instead

His head really isn’t into the game. Not sure if its cuz of his knee but everything is irritating him

[Revived]

Lively has not played a good game yet against Holmgren and his BB trunks are too tight so far

I’d be surprised if he’s able to focus on basketball at all with what the guy’s dealing with off the court.

[The Rainmaker]

Thunder are 7 for their last 8 from the field. Went from shooting 40% from the field to 56% from the field.

[Forbes]

Lively is very very raw offensively

For sure he’s there for defense and Lobs. No idea why they keep putting him in positions where he has the make a move on offense. Especially with Chet there.

[tleikheen]

THIS IS NOT LUKA"S KNEE HURTING ,he's just missing easy bunnies

[Forbes]

100% need Kyrie to start putting shots up.

[jehosafats]

THJ is always a failed heat check waiting to happen

[azcatz11]

Dallas is missing everything. Luka isn’t involved at all

[Doranku]

THJ disaster class

[The Rainmaker]

Kyrie needs to be taking more shots than THJ.

[rockmanslim]

That was quite a lively travel

[ChipotleWest]

THJ is always a failed heat check waiting to happen

He's always going to try to see if he's on fire though.

[tleikheen]

FINALLY ....DLIVE

It's wild to see some people here questioning whether Luka is injured or not.
Two things can be true at the same time:
1. He's severely bumped and would probably miss multiple weeks if it was in a middle if RS.
2. If/when he loses, the injury shouldn't be an excuse. If he loses, it would be because of his decision-making and focus (a lack of). Fellow Luka fans, let's be better that Embiid stans.

I don't know how one would know Luka was hurt because he whines on every play.

[Iwasawitness]

I’m glad Chet didn’t get injured there.

[iggymcfrack]

How are the Thunder getting outrebounded so badly? Dallas isn’t even good at rebounding! If OKC had an even share of the boards, they’d be up 12 by now.

[Forbes]

Dallas just needs to keep this close until halftime. They are playing horrible. They need to thank god they have more rebounds. It’s the only reason this is even close

[Donuts83]

okc has an offense thats easy to guard especially in the playoffs. There isn't alot of cutting and off ball movement

[ChipotleWest]

Nevermind
