Maybe this morning the league told Capers and crew, "Hey, we're announcing the MVP tomorrow."

And then they said, "Wink, wink." :lol:

ESPN special, they are the worst. I don't know why they can't fix it. The broadcast sounds so crappy.

In the post it’s been Hart and I think Jalen. If he wants to be a spot up three point shooter I’m game.

I fear Minnesota is too dumb of a basketball team to deal with this OKC defense.

He doesn't respect anyone. He just threw the ball at the MVP. Nobody else is doing that.


This is the year of the Antman!


OKC gonna lock that ass up. His playmaking isn't good enough yet to compete against the historic OKC defense.
Bro OKC almost lost to a Nuggets team who supposedly had nothing but Jokic lol


This is a real team here. Wolves in 6!

That loose handle is gonna get exposed the longer this series goes. OKC defense will figure out his tendencies and he will go back to being playoff dropper Randle.

Clear foul on DDV that doesn't get called, followed by a foul on JDub.

Why is SGA allowed to use his off hand so much and push off?
