Suns by 10
When the media barely acknowledges the fact that OKC is allowed to be more physical on the defensive end, you know it’s an inside job
Perk!!! Speaking on that 2011-2014 OKC team
yes… KP wants the dry rub lol
Suns fan here 😂 let's go los suns blessings from Arizona
I just dont like her
They’re obsessed with them
That nigah said huh😂 that wasn’t the dry rub she was talking about meat head
Thunder up! O-City or no city!⚡️⚡️
Ask nice and it won't be a blow out.😭🤣🤣
Suns have some good energy, but you’ll need more than energy to beat a bunch of dawgs
the team is so good it is a detriment to SGA getting another MVP
Thunder need to start resting players if they want to to repeat. Playing this hard every game this early can be dangerous in the long run
6:00 I GUARANTEE you they’re already thinking about 74 wins. They’re thinking about the finals already.
Lebron trynna be the first to win 2
Go Suns!!
Fun stat for the hoop nerds,
OKC has played 106 regular szn games
they have won 91/106 games
starting 5 SGA/Dort/Dub/Chet/ihart
have only played together 13/106 games
an astounding 12% of possible games
talk about a well oiled machine 😮😭
They found a cure for polio. What can we do about Monica McNutt?
24-1 by midnight!! Turn up OKC!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🏆🏆🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🍿🍿🍿
Is tim related to Vince ? 🤔
😂😂😂😂Dry Rub
She said "you want the dry rub?"
Perk had to double back & responded with "h-huh?"?
Remember when people were saying that 2012 finals team was better than 2025’s team? That was funny lol
Suns play better without Booker.
Okc is on G.O.D mode 🔥🔥

Thunder Up! ⛈
D Book was right. The dumbest man on TV (Perk) is telling us theyre one of the greatest defensive teams is just funny
For this Thunder team to have A CHANCE to lose, it will take 3 or more of these things to happen on the same night:
1. A good opponent (above .500)
2. Road game
3. Second night of back to back
4. Multiple rotation players injured.
5. Opposing player has a career night
Portland needed all 5 to win by a bucket.
Let’s not get carried away here. No one is beating the Warrior’s 73-9 record anytime soon. Love OKC, they are one heck of a team and they certainly will repeat but they’re not winning 74+ games this year.
I am likely delusional but I believe in my Suns
The sun's are not 14-0 😂
No team will beat OKC as long as they have the MVP SGA…. the flop king mvp😅
I forget what happened to the team with best season record in the playoffs?
Let’s goooo Thunder
Love the jacket perk
No ego hartstein is tuff Caruso locks up big men they got heart
why does commissioner adam silver just let GSW have Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Dremon Green always absent from the game, sometimes the three were on the bench just watching.. sometimes they only played for a few minutes and then the three of them would be absent for a few days. that's why GSW can't win consecutively because they always change their roaster and line up in a year. if that's the system in the NBA now, it's just business, I won't watch it anymore.. Michael Jordan even said to Magic Johnson.. even if he's sick and has a fever, he won't be absent from the game. he still dunks and defends
SGA seems like a good dude.
