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

[cpower]

OKC dont have a 2nd option and also out hustled inside....wow

It's supposed to be Williams and then Chet

Williams not him...looks like a role player, not even a good one

[Chuck Everett]

J dub has been super disappointing

Undersized tweeters like him get exposed in playoff environment against good teams. He’s a 6’4 SF, that’s not cutting it.

He's 6'6 and he's a SG. He's playing PF for the Thunder because Presti is still evaluating. In a perfect world, he would start next to SGA with Dort at the SF and bigger player (6'9+) next to Chet.

Jaylen Brown of the West

Guys, don't misunderstand...Luka said that the different rules, especially the 3 seconds, open things up and there are a lot more spaces...they make it easier to score, very different from making it easier in general...someone thinks he is wrong ?..said the obvious

I hope Kyrie puts them away in the 4th. I don't like watching games where it's constant foul baiting. This game is clearly being called differently for one team than another. Dallas could have already locked this game up if they called this equally.

[Petergrifindor]

Cannot believe we’re still getting crying about the refs

I can't believe their are favoring OKC so clearly.

[dygaction]

OKC had 65 through 3 quarters in Game 4, 67 through 3 quarters tonight. But...

Yes, last time miss too much, so now refs say give you 2 in three quarter let’s see

[Airmiess]

Shai has to play the whole second half

Hes gonna need to up his volume even more because the 2nd and 3rd options have a bit of stage fright

[GrandTheftRondo]

I am not a Giddey hater by any means, but Cason Wallace clearly is the better bet for this Thunder team going fowards

Presti is outstanding at drafting talent in the draft. I dont know why successful, rich franchises like the Bulls or Lakers dont offer him a godfather offer to lure him across ?

Presti has been with the Sonics/Thunder for 17 years. Do you think he would have that kind of job security elsewhere after what happened with KD/Westbrook/Harden? I'm not sure.

Huh?

Drafting three players of that caliber would afford any GM years on that team unless the owner is some deluded psycho.

Williams not him...looks like a role player, not even a good one

Man whenever I watched him in the reg season he was elite. Like a tier below superstar. Idk what happened to the dude but he’s mediocre

[TroubleS0me]

Luka vs Jokic would be nice....WCF

They made one NBA finals and had three different players who went on to win MVP. I am not sure if they never won a title in a big market that he wouldn't have ever been on the hotseat. What GM's had that kind of longevity without a chip? I'm genuinely asking.

[RB34]

Luka just owning this game.

dont have the weapons to score...19 ppg on 54%TS is terrible

[Doranku]

BANG BANG BANG

[GrandTheftRondo]

OKC just ain’t ready for the bright lights yet and lack a few things on their roster

He’s in his first playoffs

Okay you’re right man. That explains everything.

What do you want me to say to that?

[SportsGuru08]

Luka has taken over. Thunder just look defeated

[TroubleS0me]

Luka is comfortable
