they're still the favorite. but not the 'clear favorite' anymore. if for some reason san antonio slides to the 8th spot,, okc will lose in the first round. they better pray they don't face the spurs until atleast the conference finals
In encapsulating the last 2 thunder losses they have been blown out by relentless number of 3’s, and out rebounding are ingredients for compounding mistakes flinching, they are flawed and capricious. Teams have figured out S G A’S vulnerabilities capitalism on his parlay also Shai seems tedious and huffing and puffing whilst bringing the ball down being outplayed by more physical and stronger guards causing a impregnable defense thus making him subservient and flinching. SAM P needs to start vetting and scouting for new talent with the draft nearing! The coach Dagnel needs to stop changing the lineups every few minutes curtailing the momentum and chemistry
BLACK NBA PLAYERS SHOULD HONOR DR MARTIN LUTHER JR BIRTHDAY ON JANUARY 15,2026 BY WEARING HEAD BANDS WITH "MLK JR DAY " DURING NBA GAMES
Grandma Perk just plain disrespectful sometimes
The more😂they lose😅 the happier i be
Wasn’t Lendrick Perkons betting his house in OKC beating GSWs win record. Where’s his energy at now. Dumb analyst 🤣🤣🤣
Nuggets coming out West
Chiney you have arrived!!❤💯❤💯 My sexy chocolate 🍫
I’m tryna figure out how was okc ever the clear favorite when the barely beat Indiana and Tyrese got hurt, and before that they barely beat Denver with Gordon hurt yes they won but like most championships it takes a bit of luck and health
OKC ain’t beating Denver or the Spurs in a 7 game series hell might not win against Htown either
Chiney has a massive 😮😮
Ain’t snoop suppose to be a Laker ambassador 🤨
So we're just going to pretend like Charlotte didn't play great 😑
Perk stays with that okc glizzy in his mouth
I swear yall come up with a new stat everyday! .8 sec in the air. Really…
The fraud thunder can’t flop anymore.
It’s hard to repeat like they’re saying . The Bulls 2 three peats can’t even be put in context. I don’t know what the NBA was like before the merger when there were 2 leagues but the Celtics had an incredible run .
Yall work for Disney don’t be acting like you know Jesus
I think OKC should be favored as well. Absolutely. So what tho, somebody has to be ranked number one, might as well be them. They look like they’re the best. We’ll see what trades happen tho.
I guess the record is out of the question now.
I find it disappointing that ESPN prioritizes this brand of theatrical sensationalism. I would much prefer to engage with Inside the NBA, where the commentary offers genuine basketball IQ and a far more sophisticated understanding of the professional game. 😅🤣😂
Enough with woman talking
i used to watch espn all the time. for the past year I have been mostly watching other commentary on youtube, and coming back here for the first time in a while, it is crazy how these guys offer absolutely no depth of analysis and literally just react to the events of the day on a completely surface level.
With the Spurs alive and healthy and existing??? I think not lol
Anyone else tired of Porkins clown azz takes ?
Perk super bias but I’ve come to love him as a commentator. He’s silly for sure, but keeps it entertaining.
OKC will have a problems if the refs stop giving the merchant free throws.
parity parity parity!!! it’s coming so much faster than you star worshippers are ready for
Perk will say just about anything for attention.
Please fire fat perk from the show
Bulls year still the best – 72 and 10 and the title. GSW won one more game, but didn’t win the title that year.
