After the 1st game loss to OKC ,Luka says gaff and lively need to throw it down on Holmgren not hand in the air for some kind of cute shot

Can't believe OKC is only down 3. Dreadful 3pt shooting and dreadful rebounding.

Nope

They let him defend. There’s a difference between defending and mugging/grabbing.

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.

OKC got two flops to be offensive turnovers on Dallas and Gafford got thrown to the ground no call. Might be part of why they're only down 3.

Shockingly enough the Thunder are outshooting the Mavs from the field and from 3.

Mavs only shot 1/8 from 3. So not all peachy for them either.

My grandpa is 91 and he’s clear and coherent but is old as hell. He’s probably similar to Hubie. It is elder abuse on every level. These old people needs to wake up at 3am. He should be taking a nap

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