Interesting movement so far!

This should be a helluva series.

Current numbers in seeing...

OKC -133
Dallas +113
 
Doncic was absolutely horrible last series ....no way he is that bad again right
He got pretty dinged up somewhere in there and didn't really play the same after that, can't remember which game, think maybe g4

I thought it was Game 1?

I'd have to look back. Maybe that was Game 2 but he had a hot start, then late 1st or early 2nd got dinged up a little bit.

Heart is OKC.

80-1 future sitting there.

Dallas defense is a bit better though -- in current form.

SGA time to shine.

Kyrie really the big key, both ways.

Kleber injury to note.

Probably should cap these coaches tonight.
 
That’s a nice future, my heart would be there too, sheeeeeet.

I really like the OKC team. I really really like the experience on the Dallas team.
Like homie said, Luka was shit last series. That won’t happen again I think. Kyrie when he is on, tough SOB/best ball handler. Some injuries that sting too.
 
3 mins left in the 1h in OKC

My first really big notice...

OKC doesn't want Giddey on the floor.

He played first 6. Then played first 3 of 2nd.

That's it.

No fouls.

2-4-2 stat line on 3 FGAs.

Let's see where his props are next game. All was 20.5 tonight.

Vs Pels

Under 15.5 pa and 11.5 points were slammed. Doubt we see those numbers again
 
Tony brothers killed the Mavs tnite with touch fouls or nonexistent fouls on sga.....compare the physicality of Mavs vs clippers or last night's wolves nuggets.....NBA has a constitency problem

Thunder own an athleticism advantage ......but.. at many points they just put their head down and got bailed out....combined with 45 percent threes on 16 makes ....thunder played near their ceiling imo

Luka I thought had some good looking shots in that first half ....straight on target attempts that just hair long ....kinda makes me think he is getting close to a rhythm. Hard to say he's not injured but considering he doesn't rely on his speed ....his pace and movement seems similar..he is creating separation....which is they key indicator. He just has to make shots.

Okc looks absolutely amazing this playoffs ....especially at home with their crowd. But something tells me when that run and gun style gets slowed down to a grind it out game it's going to be a different ballgame for them

felt like i was watching two different sports between the physicality allowed in min/den compared to last night's game
 
Guthrie the biggest roadie the NBA can deploy. 23-35 SU for home teams, pretty strong # in a league where the home teams win 60%+ of the time. Almost a full 3 point differential.

I'll be shocked if OKC doesn't win tonight

If this series gets to 2-2 it becomes must watch and we know the NBA loves that
 
One would think. OKC looks like a team with a very bright future, but not quite there yet.
Yeah, unfortunately.

The 80-1 dream leaking badly.

But, they are a year ahead of schedule right now. A few more moves and they are right there.
 
I'd expect Dallas to close this out in G6 at home.
i agree. last game in dallas was a must win for okc and dallas controlled it but blew it down the stretch. they really have established themselves as the better team in the series

Dallas D is just so good. they are doing better on shai in the mid range game after game tho he will still get his. When the mid range is shut off for okc and they see bodies, they are going nowhere.
 
Chet's development is key to the OKC franchise, right now they have a 7 footer that's allergic to rebounds...
 
Dallas let SGA do his thing but lockdown everyone else.

I'm shocked at how Jason Kidd has coached this postseason, nothing short of amazing for a dude I considered 2nd in line to Doc as the dumbest coach in the playoffs...
 
But the bottom line in this series has been the Thunder can't shoot 3's like they did in the regular season and they're getting good looks from outside.

Dallas stack the rim but are vulnerable from outside the paint...
