Joker averaging 7 more rebounds and 5 more assists a game than SGA. Joker is the MVP.
nobody believed okc was legit last year lmao
How can you contradict yourself daily??
L take
Okc first round exit if the clippers are the 8th seed
Imagine how shitty it must feel to have a true opinion but you can't express it, instead you have to just talk BS that is scripted by your Bosses… muppets
4:25 OKC literally lost to Dallas who ended up making the finals last year though and had to think about it all summer
I mean weren’t they the 1 seed last year? We’ll see but the way they went out last year I’ll doubt them till I see it too
0:34 “Draymond just opened his mouth, someone go hand hm a trophy right now”
Denver?
BOS didn’t win a championship bc of those “sleepless nights” they won bc Brad Stevens went out and added Jrue & KP, they was just simply the best team last season
They have the 4th highest point differential in nba history and are by far the one weed in the west, not CONTENDERS???? I understand if you wanna say not favorites but CONTENDERS ARE YOU OKAY?????
Stephen a. Smith is acting like Okc has been together for 10 years and can't get over the hump. Bro, okc won 22 games 4 years ago. They just got good last year. Delusional hater!!!
Oklahoma has too much oil money to be a small city
Yet he said he was picking SGA as mvp at the beginning of the season 💀
A team that was in the west finals not a contender??…. So much disrespect on my city
How tf does the number one team “Find ways to not get it done”?
They on pace to win 67 games. Their average scoring differential is 13 points.
If they win they win big and don’t even give mfs a chance.
what does what happened in the previous decade matter in 2025
This is the third switch-up he's done on OKC this season and we're just at the all-star break. Took me this long to realize SAS is a comedian.
MOLLY SO FINE
Stephen a pack your bags your going to Oklahoma
Okc isn’t doing a thing. The flopping doesn’t help in the big moments in the playoffs.
Shannon is the worst analyst not named keyshawn
God dammit Molly thank you
Sam Presti can’t lace em up mf 💀
I remember they're thinking about this for the Nuggets back in their championship year. They always think like this against small market teams. You don't see them thinking like this for big market teams like LA and Boston.
The thunder about to be number one in the west two years in a row
As a celtics fain i think we will be in the i would rather have the thunder be in the finals than any other team you tell anything about dallas mavs that look they could win the NBA finals yall just sat up NBA Hands In all kind Matchups The Number One function is have competition you tell me how mavs have competition anyway i want the Thunder And my favorite team my boston celtics 🍀 In the Finals
Because in the playoffs the foul baiting is not rewarded, which will aggressively impact SGA’s performance.
