Perk is a delight
It's 1 game. Don't overreact
Perk's bark is that dog you hear but don't see and instantly want to be anywhere else!
OKC legit has the best chemistry out of any team I’ve ever seen. They just have a love and joy for the game that you don’t see out of most players these days
They’ll do it if Luka and Kyrie start making at least nine triples per game between the two of them. Otherwise it’s clear that no matter how good are role players, it’s even better if a team have players like Holmgren Jale Williams plus a deep team of very fine role players
NOBODY wants to hear Zach off all ppl break down film
Who is she? Shes much better than Malika
Please keep underestimating us. Please!!!!
Thunder up⚡️
I’d prefer Andrea as the host instead of malika
Perk says that OKC plays gender free basketball. ????
Remembered when the Los Angeles Clippers blew the Mavericks out in game 1 and everyone was saying is it over for the Dallas mavericks?
How can you pick the Mavs with Luka shooting 3's at 22% in the playoffs?
They keep saying Luka injured but he keeps playing more minutes and shooting all the shots …..
Everyone act tough when they up
Great question asking perk comparing 2012 to this one ☝️
Anyone still doubting this OKC team needs to get a reality check! This team is good enough to win the west and it is good enough to win it all!!!!
Swear even the OKC squad getting kinda irritated being asked to bark now every interview, It was good fun at first but now it feels sorta cringey & Borderline degrading lol idk maybe I'm tripping.
Mavs in 6
You crazy if you think Mavs are winning. They be lucky to get 2 wins
Luka moves around like a grandpa I think the Mavs are toast.
Finally no malika
The enjoyable new team has more than arrived! Luka is young too, but obviously not at full speed. Can he play at a level that allows him to eat? No excuses and he's showing it. Also, the Timber Wolfs vs Suns series showed how the ref's can control games. After this game 1 I can see it happening again. That's going to hurt the entertainment value of this series. Luka can't hit threes and OKC drilled them in the second half. Still taking the Mav's.
The show is perfect today with the cast
i speak for everyone when i say andrea needs to replace malika !
As long as Luka is playing with injury they will loss the series.
Why are they posting Thunders defensive numbers, they beat a Pelicans without Zion and a hobbled Luka, big deal. Fraud team carried by refs.
Everyone praising OKC defense. They have a good defense but Dallas MISSED a lot of good shots and open shots!!! So the whole game and flow would have been different with Dallas making just a fraction of those shots!!!! Will definitely be a different Game2!!!
OKC is so lucky that they face an unhealthy Pelicans and unhealthy Dallas. But if they face a healthy Denver,, a healthy Minnesota and a healthy Boston, then OKC season will be over.
They will recover.
Kyrie need to take over, I’m not feeling playoff Luka
luka donbrick is hurting dallas
Perk is like Budspencer
Luka was so bad last night and it was frustrating to watch him taking shot after shot and missing them all instead of giving Kyrie the ball
Dallas can still win this series w/ OKC assuming BOTH Luka & Kyrie score 45 points & 10 assists every game lol 🤪
God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 – "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
The excuses for Dookie Doncic
OKC will win at least one championship maybe 2 somewhere in the next 2 years. By far the worst postseason of Luka's career thus far. Disappointing. "He’s hurt" get in line, it's the playoffs. nobody is 100% this time of year. If he's out there on the court there's no excuses. I picked the Mavs to beat OKC, Luka will bounce back
Dallas gonna bounce back….. The reason they lost is bad shooting night… Hahaha they gonna steal game 2 just
Like the clippers
⚡️⛈️⚡️🧹🧹🧹
Luka needed help. They had Kyrie bringing the ball down to run the offense but he would pass the ball to a frustrated luka.
I didn’t even know OKC fans were a thing 🤷 🤔 where’d y’all come from ??
If refs manifacture 20 freethrows for Thunder out of Mavs great defense like in the first game then it will be tough.
This some real round 1 deja vu.
Refs bailed out the thunder w/ weak foul calls.
OKC can only win if the refs help them as usual
They can leave THJ open..He ain't making a shot.. Man's a professional brick layer ATP..Mavs really missing maxi
Everybody acting tough when they're up Everybody acting tough when they're up……
Just warming up. Still Mavs in favor by 4-2
3 series the Mavs have won in the past 3 years they lost game 1 including last series.. take the L and move on to the next game which is always the most important game
Mavs in 5/6 foh😤💯
