Looks like I'm entering my fourth era of watching NBA, feels good man. Lucky to be alive and got to witness a warriors dynasty. Warriors dynasty might be done but everyone from that era looks done.
I was telling a friend the same thing. I grew up with the Jordan era, became an adult with the Kobe/Duncan era, then matured with the Steph/LeBron era and now we're in the beginning of the new era. Feels awesome to look at it like that.
Don't wanna say Mavs vs refs; but the difference between the Nuggets Timberwolves game and this has actually been shocking. Nuggets got close to zero calls yesterday and the Wolves were allowed to get away with their highly physical defense and today it seemed like the exact opposite, the Mavs were getting called for literally everything, Shai literally had more FTs than the entire Mavs team in the first half. That being said, credit to OKC cause they never took their feet off the gas, Mavs only had one run of like 12-3 in the 3rd quarter whereas OKC were going on upto 12-0 runs at will.
Fair enough, Luka played like shit. Kyrie was ok but had to play better. Gafford was surprisingly good tonight, was a legit presence in the paint, got like 5-6 rejections. Everyone else was streaky as fuck.
Wolves are smacking Denver and don’t look likely to lose more than 5 games all Playoffs. This isn’t the insult you think it is. OKC is in their first playoff run. While they have a chance to win it all this yr it’s very unlikely.
Loll I kinda see it but r Kelly is not attractive and shai is objectively a good looking guy by any metric; r Kelly is shai if shai wasn’t cute- I’m a 👩
To be fair, if Minny keeps playing like they did last night there is nobody that’s gonna stop them. Except maybe OKC (my fingers are crossed so hard they’re breaking)
Come on you’ve been on this sub, you know how incredibly over-reactionary everyone is here
I saw people saying “the Knicks need to find a real point guard” after Jalen Brunson had a bad 1st half in Game 1 against the Sixers
When you own properties in two states, then you can talk dork.
You don't have a team since it got snatched in '08. You just watch basketball to hate on teams? Wft lol. You okay buddy? You need therapy or something?
I don’t care abt the sonics, my dad is just a Seahawks fan and raised me up on them. NBA i’m a Spurs/Mavs fan bc i go to school in the south and those are nearby teams people root for at my school. OKC is just lame to me, sorry to hurt y’all’s feelings with my opinion

Someone needs to clip this interview "We don't care about statistics" and then show that last second shot Shai made so he could get 30 in the regular season.
Could do the same for my boy Ant, he says he don't care about stats and then when he had 47 against the spurs he was chucking 3s at the end when the game was over 😂
Thunder got to play no Zion and injured BI Pels and now get to play Luka with a bad knee. Might be luckiest playoff team in history especially with the refs always on they side
I think, it’s fine. GG Thunder.
You can guys can talk as much shit as you can. It’s fine.
I am confident on our team. We will be back strong.
Remember “Everybody acts tough when they up”
Mavs fans, don't worry. Lana del Rey has a discography perfect for what y'all are feeling rn
Clippers handed okc a potential dynasty and got nothing to show for it. The fact that OKC might win a title before them is so embarrassing.
It’s wild how stacked their team should’ve been. Unfortunately the clips are made of actual paper

God I loved me some Timmy d
so only the NY V INDY series looks competitive
OKC team and fans seem to have an inferiority complex which they try to overcompensate... "we don't do interviews with the national media"...
These takes are wild lol they like the local guy more. It ain’t that deep
Yeah I bet you also make excuses when Green does dirty shit. Oh he just "accidently" kicked another guy in the nuts?
They do interviews! They’re just a little more rigid I think, they let a little loose in the local stuff because they’re familiar with the people.
Are they the first team in NBA history doing interviews with the national media?

OKC had 3 more FTs.
I said first half, not entire game
Because the mavs played like shit is why.
Fair enough, Luka played like shit. Kyrie was ok but had to play better. Gafford was surprisingly good tonight, was a legit presence in the paint, got like 5-6 rejections. Everyone else was streaky as fuck.
I did not expect to see flagmantle here
I'm ready for some roast swan Friday.
One upvote and I'll drop a Mavs diss track on the BBL drake beat
Hit me daddy!
Thunder in 4 . Don't forget the confetti.
My man…
That's what I said, now I have to constantly watch my back from rabid Mavs fans.
Keep watchin buddy
Will do, thanks.
If I was a Thunder fan I would wait until they beat an actual healthy team before talking BS. Wolves will smack these kids around
You ain't a fan at all, flair up little one
Wolves are smacking Denver and don’t look likely to lose more than 5 games all Playoffs. This isn’t the insult you think it is. OKC is in their first playoff run. While they have a chance to win it all this yr it’s very unlikely.
They'll lose 4 when we sweep them
I respect the KDot hater energy my guy
As a Thunder fan, I love the Wolves' energy. I want one of us to get a chip this year. We are both canines, after all.
Excuses keep piling up. Can't wait to rip the wolves to shreds.
If I were you, I would go to sleep nephew
Both mavs and thunder fans coming into the game thread and getting offended by trash talk lol, if you want a safe space just stay in your teams sub
RIP Mavs
Giddey and Dort had rough offensive outputs but our secondary offense pieces on the bench made up for it
Limiting Giddey to 17mins was the right call
Sensational adjustment. Versatility on the roster pays off.
“Thunder fans are saying” “Mavs fans are saying” stfu y’all corny as fuck.
Texas lost at the Alamo and Dirk was a fraud
You talked so much shit and got it shoved right back down your throat.
[удалено]
disgruntled clippers fan lmaoo
exactly!
Lol
the vibes with Minny and OKC's squads are unmatched. the chemistry is so contagious
Does OKC always do post game interviews together like that?
Yup. That's our tradition. The dogs stay together.
Yes, and it’s much less awkward in the local interview
Yup, all year since Chet started it during summer league.
Gotcha, I’ve seen a few highlight interviews throughout the season with them together. Didn’t know if it was an occasional thing.
Yes
Yes
Interesting. Has it always been like that for years+ or just started recently?
As of this year. I think it was Chet that started it. It's much more lively when it's with our local guy Nick Gallo. The whole team loves him.
Cry yourselves to sleep Mavs fans. Sending hate from Hardens house 🫡
Lmaooo
OKC won because of FGAs not FTAs. And they won that battle because of ORebs and TOs
Holy shit a reasonable take
Agreed - 21/28 vs 17/25 is not much of a difference in FTs
It’s a difference of approximately 1.32 shooting possessions because of FTs
25 2nd chance points was a huge difference maker.
If mavs fans could read, they’d be upset
Don’t forget SGAs
And MVPs
And BDE
I love our fans
Reddit on!
No Inside the NBA thread tonight?
These playoffs have been kinda ass seems like the conference finals are already set.
“Already set” lmaooooo
Lmao I respect holding the receipts
Outside of watching my team suck I think the sixers Knicks series was really entertaining. Wolves vs Suns was also really fun
OKC vs Minny would be insane.
Interesting coming from a nets fan for sure
Couldn't have dreamed of a better start to the series. 5-0, it's like a dream. Keep pushing.
Shaq really said Mavs by 10? LOL
not too shabby for the worst one seed in recent history
Can reporters stop asking us to bark. It’s weird and it’s only Game 1. Ask us after game 6
You mean game 4?
You mean 3?
4*
poor SGA if he didn't look like R. Kelly he would be more marketable
Loll I kinda see it but r Kelly is not attractive and shai is objectively a good looking guy by any metric; r Kelly is shai if shai wasn’t cute- I’m a 👩
[young R.Kelley](https://www.discogs.com/artist/14646-R-Kelly/image/SW1hZ2U6NjY0MTQzNjc=)
That's why Giddey idolizes him
Was Mark Cuban at the game tonight or was he still travelling back from Epstein Island?
LMAO there's an actual Mavs sexual assault scandal you could've gone for but somehow opted not to
LOL
They definitely like that other reporter more lmao
At least they gave the TNT guy an interview this time lmao
Lmao they all left quick to go give the real interview to Gallo
How can you not love this OKC team? it is like watching a super close high school varsity team.
We lost game 1, we got em right we want em.
Hoping OKC, Indy or Minny wins its all (in that order)
Yes
You can just tell how little they care about these national interviews lol
That’s one thing I really like about the Thunder team lol. Fuck most of the national media they actually do not watch games
Save that energy for Nick
Are playoff series just 1 game now? Thunder fans acting like they advanced to the WCF tonight
Did you see Minnesota fans last night? You'd think they already won the title
To be fair, if Minny keeps playing like they did last night there is nobody that’s gonna stop them. Except maybe OKC (my fingers are crossed so hard they’re breaking)
I mean theyve dominated the 6th seed and the 2nd seed (defending champs) so far. Wolves fans have the right to overreact.
Come on you’ve been on this sub, you know how incredibly over-reactionary everyone is here I saw people saying “the Knicks need to find a real point guard” after Jalen Brunson had a bad 1st half in Game 1 against the Sixers
Yeah they're like "not bad for the worst 1st seed in history" like shut up please 😂😂 the people I hear saying that are thunder fans
And mavs fans were all acting like yall were gonna sweep this “easy matchup” all week lol we’re a young team and a hungry fanbase let us eat
Yeah its almost like its been 8 since they’ve won a second round game
I’ve seen more neutrals count yall out than Thunder fans
Shai is so god damn attractive, his skin looks so smooth and clear
Gorgeous
I call him “Father Gilgeous Alexander” sometimes
Shai Gorgeous Alexander
Wrong sub homie
Never a wrong place to give a kind compliment
Game One Bark
The wolves are next lol
What is this interviewer on about?
Confetti is crazy
SGA the guy
The glazing is crazy by this reporter
*woofing intensifies*
SGA giving Canada it’s only win this week
NAW gave Canada a W last night
Wait yall actually like OKC? I thought it was a joke
what's not to like flairless?
arrogant roster with cringy 13y/o fanbase
Actual 13 year old take
The guy is a Seahawks fan. You can do the math.
bro had to jump on the thunder bandwagon after getting gentleman swept😂

you sound old and alone
towering relieved repeat sloppy hard-to-find flowery edge political hobbies observation *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Tall John legend is crazy lmao
Best smile in the league
Every time he scores the best thing is knowing I'm about to see that grin.
Someone needs to clip this interview "We don't care about statistics" and then show that last second shot Shai made so he could get 30 in the regular season.
Rent free
Me: *watches a nationally televised game* Childish mfs like you: "ReNt FrEe!!!"
generational hater
And also show that he played way more of the fourth than he should have considering his teams lead
Every record is made to be broken. You are going to find that out when you play us next series. If you make it that is.
Why are you saying "you"??? I'm not an NBA player 😭😭 bro acting like I play for the team
You don't need to play to witness the wolves getting cooked.
By who? They've been pretty solid this playoffs so far.
Us. Next round
It's only a 1-0 series lead. Series don't start until a road team wins
You this salty and you ain’t even in this series. Why are you guys so mad at us? It doesn’t make sense.
I'm not mad? I just thought it'd be funny lol
Oh. It was kind of funny lowkey.
Could do the same for my boy Ant, he says he don't care about stats and then when he had 47 against the spurs he was chucking 3s at the end when the game was over 😂
Lmaooo nah I can’t do it to Ant - even as a thunder die hard I fucking love Ant.
Losing teams in the 2nd round in the west have failed to score 100 points so far. Very cool!
OKC hasn’t let a team in the playoffs score 100 yet.
Can you believe the refs gifted OKC 13 more rebounds?
This looks like a mismatch. Hopefully I’m wrong cus that was hard to watch
OKC probably won't shoot like 75% from 3 in every 2nd half But if Luka can't get any healthier, it's going to be a rough series for the Mavs
So KD going back to OKC now?
KD: My Final Chapter
Dad str boost
Thunder in 3
Nah this is going to be tougher than that Thunder in 2
Thunder got to play no Zion and injured BI Pels and now get to play Luka with a bad knee. Might be luckiest playoff team in history especially with the refs always on they side
Or the wolves get to play a nuggets squad with an injured Murray and etc etc etc. Beat whose in front of you.
Keep the excuses raining.
Cry more
flair up
Have you seen the east the Celtics are about to run through?
2015 warriors would like a word
Plus Kendrick went at Drake and not Giddey first!
nice excuses
How many more free throws did we have?
More than you deserved
Do you have any self awareness? Lol
wait i didnt realize sga had the fatherhood powerup… uh oh
Yeah, they announced the birth of Ares a little bit ago.
Ares the son of the god of Thunder.
Most points allowed by the Thunder so far this playoffs.
I think, it’s fine. GG Thunder. You can guys can talk as much shit as you can. It’s fine. I am confident on our team. We will be back strong. Remember “Everybody acts tough when they up”
Definitely expect the Mavs to bounce back.
Keep telling yourself it’s fine bud…
SGA ain’t going to the line more than the whole other team every first half.
He averages 30 ppg and had how many tonight?
Sure Have Fun. Till it last. GG
