The playoffs don’t count ?
This series woulda been 2-2 today had ja not gone down.
OKC #1 seed is definately not a hawks type of team. But it’s a fraudulent team. Just like your “MVP”
I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but they should've kept Dillon Brooks. No heart.
another 2nd rd exit
It’s so funny how you can “dominate” and the media still calls OKC & CLE fluke teams lol
So he has SGA as his mvp, they swept their first round series, he picked them all year, and now he's not sold?
Stephen A, triple A, NBA, shannon in five👋🏿
This is the same way they talked about golden state in 2015
SGA hit homie with the Penny Hardaway
Imagine having the #1 offense AND #1 defense in the league.. having the 7th best season in history.. winning the West by 16 games… 29-1 agaisnt the East.. Youngest team in the league and sweep your first round matchip as the #1 seed…
Then having Stephen A Smith undermine you with some "do it when it counts" nonsense 🤣 🤡
This espn coverage is…
Ja quit on the team
These guys are going for Celtics, okc, clippers, lakers….
GSW in 🖐🏿
That first beat goes hard 😎
I understand Grizzlies did not seem like a huge threat(at least lookin at these last few months), and Ja was out a game and some change…
But its a sweep, and one of those losses was one of the biggest win margins in playoff history, and another was one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history…like "Do it when it counts" dont really got that much weight to it, the downplay on okc name is wild
They just did it when it counted😂 it’s the playoffs bro
Stephen a stfu. This is the playoffs. This is when it counts. I thought no one wanted to see Memphis. Well Okc made sure no one will the rest of this season
Weren't the Thunder down by like 10+ points in one of these games and came back and won? What does he mean do it when it counts? They did it when it counted in a playoff game and won by 2.
We still love BIG PERk here in Oklahoma
I just don’t know what you want them to do anymore lol. Won 68 games and swept them. Come on now
OKC has the best record or 2nd best and swept a decent team in the first round yet the media is still shitting on them.
the clown SAS
I agree sas though big chance
U got win against the teams he name Memphis was unhealthy n can’t play with out ja
ESPN need to wake up and realize OKC hasn’t lost one game yet in the playoffs this year
Okc swept Bos in the regular season BTW
ESPN do it in the playoffs!!!!
Also ESPN first round doesn’t count!!!!
Also also ESPN lakers in 5.
You guys in these comments are just as soft as sga. All “do it when it counts” means is the competition gets tougher down the road.
My heat about to get swept smh.
Sga and OKC the most disrespected number one seed in NBA history,but the love talking about the LeBron Lakers sas is joke .a sweep and there still doubts that disgusting
OKC wins in the first round
Stephen A: “Do it when it counts”
If the Knicks win in the First round
Stephen A: “ NEW YORK STAND UP!”
What a joke 😂
Any long time fans of the NBA know you have to take down some real competition in the playoffs before anyone will take you seriously. Nothing wrong or disrespectful at all about what Stephen A is saying here and I can almost guarantee anyone getting upset is probably less than 30 years old. If they beat the Nuggets or Clippers in the second round everyone will see them as true contenders
I’m sure Stephen is betting money on the Lakers who’s actually down 😂
OKC FTW. SHAI 4 MVP!!! FUKK these moronic pundits trying to create their own storyline.
People acting like this was somehow impressive when the Thunder were getting clapped pre Ja injury in G3 and almost lost a Ja-less G4 is such typical modern stupidity. The Thunder aren’t scaring anybody… bbq chicken for Denver/LA
