Probably they are having trouble of playing physical, instead they end up hurting people. This young team trying so hard to capitalize on injuries and want to make it worse for opposing team to stay healthy instead of trying to focus on trying to win with their skills.
surprisingly decent and fair assessment for a fan podcast. I was expecting 'refs suck', or 'luka is faking injury' or something along those lines. Nice job!
From a Mavs fan, I think this is a fair analysis for OKC. I would like to add that the Mavs being able to switch to physicality when they notice the whistle being swallowed isn't just a difference in experience. Mavs are the more the physical team, it's their preferred style, and they have been doing it this playoffs. The Mavs x Clippers series was very physical and I'd add the Mavs were surprised the first game when there was as much of a whistle as there was. Those body contact calls when Shai was driving just weren't called for anyone in the Mavs x Clippers series. The OKC series against the Pels just had closer to the regular season whistle than some of these other playoff games.
Not sure how the whistle will be going forward. We'll see. I think OKC's plan to make the Mavs shooters beat them probably is the way they should continue because the Mavs just aren't a consistent 3-point shooting team. But they should close out harder on the guys who are hot(PJ & THJ last game)/have shown to be consistent(Josh Green).
Luka playing on one leg .... Thunder need to be concerned. 😉 I don't think this is the year for the young Thunder team even if they get by the Mavs. But the future is bright with all those draft picks and a good GM in Sam Presti. But Thunder need to draft a physical center who can rebound .... Chet is great but he can also play at the 4 when they face a behemoth. Thunder should have kept Sengun rather than trading him away. Presti made a mistake on Alperen. Need to add a solid rebounder to the roster.
OKC is packing the paint and having that corner defender cover the roll man. This is why they are leaving the corners open, to protect against the lobs. If they change that, you’ll see the Mavs destroy the rim.
Bro that’s what I just said if the Mavs just spaced the floor now it’s about to be a thrashing . Because they not going to keep leaving them open if they do I’ll take but I hope they guard the corners now because Luka and Kyrie will go to work lob city and curing plus wide open shots.
They aren't going to win in 5 unless Luka is hurting even worse than he was in game 2. I think this series will go 6 or 7 and I don't know who will win.😉
@@tylerwake5574 "easily", can you read? And they could have, but they didn't. Great game though, that's what the playoffs are all about 💯. Enjoy the W!
Ok so Do t get scared an play scared It’s time for war .. okc has to be more aggressive eespecially if the shots aren’t falling . Most of all when lukie is trying to take over the lane slid his big ass everytime he drives slid him . Or he’s gonna keep driving for easy buckets We jst too small . So we gotta play physical
I would be more concerned about Luka playing on one leg than crowd chants if I'm a Mavs fan. Fans are weird.😂 Are you saying Luka doesn't try to win if the crowd doesn't chant? It is just so stupid ... he is trying to win no matter what is going on with the crowd. Otherwise ... he's a bum. 🤣
@randygraham926 it's poking the bear. He can sometimes give a lack of effort on the defensive side. When he gets motivated, he usually goes to another level
I don't feel like the role players for the Mavs they're going to play good the next game and also think OKC's not going to shoot as bad as they did in game two they make those shots anybody that's watch the thunder all year knows that they're very consistent team and they will come out blazing hot. OKC in 5.
Playoffs can be very different for your shooters because of the physical play and pressure. Mavs were getting wide open looks all game and hit a lot of them. Only Luka took contested 3s. Chet missed more than usual -- although he also hit a wild 3 at the end of the quarter.
....and way too confident for playoff time. But of course, they have no idea how it works...and obviously know nothing about Mavs and their other guns sitting on the bench like Hardy
Mavericks just spaced the floor with their roll players now. Instead of doubling Luka lol they’re going to have to guard the 3pt line if not I hope they keep letting them open all game. But if the Mavs have spaced the floor, it’s trouble because Luka and Kyrie will start driving then love and 3s are about to get open all day!
Thunder trying so hard to injure Luka. Pathetic team. Karma is a bitch.

Couldn’t agree more - Dallas fan
I've only seen those narratives from only 2 thunder podcasts tbh
Thanks for unbiased review.
Cheers from a Mavs fan!
See you later today in game 3!

Appreciate you tuning in!
Let's go MAVS
Appreciate you tuning in!
OKC can still win in 5!

Ok so
Do t get scared an play scared
It’s time for war ..
okc has to be more aggressive eespecially if the shots aren’t falling .
Most of all when lukie is trying to take over the lane slid his big ass everytime he drives slid him . Or he’s gonna keep driving for easy buckets
We jst too small . So we gotta play physical
You can’t be physical when the Mavs out
Physical you the whole game.
Luka sucks Chants will probably be the cause Okc loses this series. Just ask the suns.
Luka is garbage he will never win a championship.

Are you concerned with the OKC thunder after Game 2?
Yes

Well you were not correct. Mavs in 6.
@@dpend Don't matter to me I know the mavs ain't going to win no championship this season I can tell you that for sure laugh now and cry later.
Luka will be luka. Lead, protect the ball and provide open shots. And hope enough roll players show up
Thunder are not concerned
Are you sure about that?
Ya'll are losing in 5. Too young, too weak, too flop-dependent to succeed in the playoffs. Good luck.
....and way too confident for playoff time.
But of course, they have no idea how it works...and obviously know nothing about Mavs and their other guns sitting on the bench like Hardy
Okc winning this first one to get home court back
No way in hell Dallas shooting lights out all series..
Dallas played their best Gam of the season. . An won by 9 😂😂😂😂okc shot their worst still had a chance to win
@@Poaf-1 It was only warming...wait till lightening strikes..and Kyrie's' offensive actiions, like +35
Thunder in 6
we wanted to sweep OKC but mavs in 5 😂😂😂😂😂 and KAI was not him. so let's meet in Dallas
Mavericks just spaced the floor with their roll players now. Instead of doubling Luka lol they’re going to have to guard the 3pt line if not I hope they keep letting them open all game.
But if the Mavs have spaced the floor, it’s trouble because Luka and Kyrie will start driving then love and 3s are about to get open all day!
