Rachel Nichols is by far the most qualified, intelligent analyst on this show. It’s clear she watches the games, knows the stats, and recognizes how teams like to play and matchup. It’s a shame she got blackballed by ESPN and has to work with clown Skip Bayless.
@@nattydelights63815 games played. 5 games holding teams under 95 points. Hasn't been done since 2016 spurs. Top 5 in offense/defense rating. 2nd in point differential.
They act like Jalen Williams (Santa Clara) isn't on this Thunder team. Love that they are being disrespected victory for OKC will be that much sweeter!
@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 sure like Giddy getting hit in the face and his lip being bloodied and no foul call, but OKC being called for the same thing and a foul being called?
He’s a causal. He thinks young players can’t win just because he was old when he finally won. But it wasn’t his age, it was the fact Boston traded for KG and Ray Allen 😂
Like all other teams they just have to prove themselves in the playoffs...they haven't had a chance yet so we will see how they respond now that the teams get tougher
@sirnoovanimations2741 bro you have no idea how s tupid you sound. He has over 8 assist per game. He would have more if his teammates would play better
that OKC team is a blase to watch. SGA is ice cold, doesnt get talked about enough. Chet is great. That team rivals the okc team that had harden, durant and westbrook. except this okc teams plays together better and more unselfish.
Well after hearing this this gives me great confidence that the Mavs will win because every time I take a chance on skips predictions it's always freaking wrong! Go Mavs!
Wow the Thunder disrespect and slander even though we’re the best team in the west with a top 5 in off & def rtg. What more do want to prove we can win! THUNDER UP! ⚡️🦬
Yeah, he's that good! And with Kyrie they're even better. But the biggest reason why the Mavs will win it all is their supporting cast. They are freakishly athletic, play tremendous defense, and have good size. They're going to be a problem for any team.
Paul Pierce just saying the same thing that’s been said about the Thunder all year. And all have been proven wrong. The most trustworthy thing is Lou Dort’s defense. Thunder in 6
Waw. I was so pleasantly surprised when i saw no Keyshawn and saw Reachel. What a enjoyable show. I actually commented some time ago they should replace him with her
Yeah Luka doesn’t look right and the injury isn’t going away… so unless he handles it better I reckon it could be okc. Also maxi injured isn’t great (as he was beginning to go well with the 3). Luka is hitting 30 points and at his peak he was nearer 40 points. He hit 50 against the suns and 73 at one point. No chance of those numbers at the moment…. As I say the knee looks like it’s not going to get better for several weeks so unless he starts accommodating the knee better…. We shall see but I’m actually worried we get run off the court.
@@NostalgicRush They are the #1 seed and played a play-in team without Zion and 2 out of four games had to play at the top of their game to scrape by. Should have blown the Pelicans out each game by 20+ points.
Skip don't know 💩. Pierce the only one that deserves to talk. OKC too young and too small. This series is gonna end up exactly like PP is anticipating. I got Mavs in 5 too. After that physical battle with LAC and all their stars we're lathered up. OKC haven't been challenged yet. Skip needs to stop. He's a SA fan who talked a lot of 💩 about Luka when Shannon was on.
OKC might lose. But it’s not because of their experience. The Mavs have a huge size advantage on them. And their bigs are quite athletic. Gafford and Lively are anchoring the paint for the Mavs defense. And getting lots of dunks. OKC needs to bring in more size in the offseason . Size kills in the playoffs.
The Mavericks are one of the best team they can play in regards to that... Wtf are you talking about lol Its the Denvers, Wolves, or Lakers that were more of a problem
These blind analysts boutta learn extremely quick how good Jdub is he’s just as good as a number 2 as Kyrie is but yall don’t see it cuz he’s not dancing around with the basketball taking fadeaway 3s
Yes you can’t he’s OKCs closer in the 4th watch the games Shai takes the big shots but Jdub takes over in the 4th similar to how kyrie takes over games
What... Lmao Are you hard of hearing or do you struggle with comprehension? You realize 2 of the three picked the Mavericks and werent giving enough credit to the Thunder if anyone
No Keyshawn thank God
This show has gone downhill fast
@@prestonphillips3375bruh then don’t watch… people still commenting this months later lol
He knows NOTHING about basketball. Period
Keyshawn is worse than Perkins 😅🤣😂
Lol you mad?

Long story short, Peirce hasnt watched the Thunder play at all this yr.
Nah, they just don’t have a rapport built in the playoffs yet
@@nattydelights63815 games played. 5 games holding teams under 95 points. Hasn't been done since 2016 spurs. Top 5 in offense/defense rating. 2nd in point differential.
Skip dying on set after stating the Mavs rely on Kleber so much
😂😂😂❤
Yes the fact-checking frog leaped into Skip's throat before Rachel "I talked to Kyrie the other day" Nichols steered the convo
Kyrie summoned the kobe in him and hit that corner fadeaway ...vintage kobe right there
Finally no Keyshawn talking about basketball
They act like Jalen Williams (Santa Clara) isn't on this Thunder team. Love that they are being disrespected victory for OKC will be that much sweeter!
Playing dirty due to 1 sided whistle. The mavs got called for the same things the thunder didn't
@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 sure like Giddy getting hit in the face and his lip being bloodied and no foul call, but OKC being called for the same thing and a foul being called?
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 elbows to the face but no foul called. We didn't watch the same game it looks to me.
You probably need to wait a few years for that sweet victory though 😂
You were saying?
Paul pierce is a breath of fresh air
Paul Pierce = 🤡🤡🤡
He’s a causal. He thinks young players can’t win just because he was old when he finally won. But it wasn’t his age, it was the fact Boston traded for KG and Ray Allen 😂
He said the same shit before the pelicans and now he says it's because no Zion
PP don’t know what he’s talking about. He doesn’t watch games like that. Super casual. Lazy take.
Between Paul’s phone going off and skip struggling to breathe… man this was a tough segment.
Yep, you can tell Paul ain’t watched the Thunder at y’all.
Gonna be a fun series, the battle of MVPs!
Idk what else okc has to do to get respect
Like all other teams they just have to prove themselves in the playoffs...they haven't had a chance yet so we will see how they respond now that the teams get tougher
win series vs mavs will be first thing.
@@gospaironija2762and then the goal post will be moved again
They beat my mavs they got my respect
Beat an actual playoff team rather then pelicans with no Zion 😂
People sleeping on J Dub…
What are they talking about he is legitimate 2nd option they gonna see
Seems like it was J Dub who was sleeping in this series instead.
Keep doubting OKC. We love it⚡️
It’s going to be a good series brother
Okc might be young but we good as hell. People keep underestimate that.
gentleman sweep by the mavs im sorry
@@user-xc9do2ly1y lol you wild for that take.

WAITED ALL SEASON FOR UNDISPUTED TO TALK

Pierce clearly doesn't watch OKC games, he's a hater. Never anything good to say when they come up.
Truth is telling lies . Okc is gonna win and the fact people keep sleeping on them for being young just gives them motivation . #thunderup ⚡️

Ball hog
Can't call some one who averages more than 8 assist a game a ball hog🤔
@sirnoovanimations2741 bro you have no idea how s tupid you sound. He has over 8 assist per game. He would have more if his teammates would play better
@@sirnoovanimations2741bro averages a triple double damn near that’s not ball hog bro bro
Until he gets put in the Dort chamber 😂😂
Paul said mavs in 5 and they finish it at home? Game 5 would be in OKC
Can Lu Dort make an All-Defensive team already? This is a joke now.
By series' end, the world will know that JDub is a great player, a budding superstar.
most underrated player in the league
OKC all the way 🔥🍻
sadly hes going to PJail unfortunately
As a Mavs fan, Jdub is one of my go to guys on his over for PRA , we know he a problem. I just think we got an advantage with our bigs
@@misaelcardenas3141 OKC will take the series 💯
that OKC team is a blase to watch. SGA is ice cold, doesnt get talked about enough. Chet is great. That team rivals the okc team that had harden, durant and westbrook. except this okc teams plays together better and more unselfish.
Wait until Timberwolves bring those axes.
Love chet J DUB IS CONSISTENTLY the best 2nd option on okc bro so damn underrated
Skip Bayless is a smart man
Thunder in 5
Paul Pierce has been doubting the thunder thus far.
Well after hearing this this gives me great confidence that the Mavs will win because every time I take a chance on skips predictions it's always freaking wrong! Go Mavs!
Wow the Thunder disrespect and slander even though we’re the best team in the west with a top 5 in off & def rtg. What more do want to prove we can win! THUNDER UP! ⚡️🦬
Lol luka scored 28 and kyrie rescued the "struggling" luka with 30points? Crazy luka is so good 28 points is struggling
Yeah, he's that good! And with Kyrie they're even better. But the biggest reason why the Mavs will win it all is their supporting cast. They are freakishly athletic, play tremendous defense, and have good size. They're going to be a problem for any team.
Nah bro Lukas standards are just that high. We still haven't gotten that vintage Luka game where he hits 5 or 6 3s. He's been decent at best
@@alexham28 But dude dishes over 10 assist per game and plays solid d
Luka’s efficiency wasn’t there this past series. That’s what he means by struggling. Luka will put up numbers because the volume of shots he put up
@kinidiosodlosios6892 his efficiency has been bad especially the 3
I’m in Hochatown and a MAVS FAN
I like to see Paul back in sports talk
Mavs don't have a good shooting big to pull Chet away from the rim. He will be a terror in the paint.
OKC in 4, 🧹
You’re delusional my man !!
Dumbest shit I've ever read. 😭
J Williams is legitimate 2nd option shai gonna torch Luka or irving
This series could go either way. Okc is younger and more energetic, while mavericks have experience and are battle tested.
If Luka is ok, mavs win... if his injury is bothering him, mavs lose.
keyshawn went to cancun with LA Teams..??
😂😂
Amen
Shai n chet n giddy n dort n williams there all special in that system
Keep doubting Dallas. We love it!
Dallas is going to destroy the MVP talks, Shai and Jokic will be out of playoffs
Bruh they picked the mavs tf you talking about
U guys got waxed
How are they the 1seed if they don’t have reliable players that they trust?
OKC hate is bandwagon or people that have not watched them. That’s why these analyst are a joke
Damn skip almost died.
Didn’t realize Paul Pierce was a casual. Interesting.
If your only argument is they’re young that’s dumb as hell great break down
so JDUB doesnt exist ???
they dont know shit and prob dont watch any Thunder game
Ong they don’t know how good jdub is but don’t worry they’ll realize very soon that the Thunder have to guys who can take over games and destroy teams
When PP locked in, he’s great in this role 💯
He’s so far off on OKC though.
He said he didn't know who OKCs second best player is. That d3monshe doesn't know shit
Bro…Paul pierce hasn’t watched a single OKC game all season 😂
Okc in 6
Pierce just jinxed Mavs! OKC sweeps Mavs
Did Jalen Williams fall off the face of the earth? Mavs ain’t winning with a hobbled Luka and no Maxi
There was almost no mention of JDub...a guy who does everything really well and a very reliable 1b option.
Paul Pierce just saying the same thing that’s been said about the Thunder all year. And all have been proven wrong. The most trustworthy thing is Lou Dort’s defense. Thunder in 6
No more Keyshawn when it comes to basketball
Rachel is alright looking 🙂
They should keep nichols permanent and remove keyshawn permanently
How steps that man take
The series depends on Luka’s 3pt shooting. If his shots drop the Thunder are effed
are they all sick? heard a lot of cough in this episode
From LA, let’s go Thunder!!!
Paul is delulu
Waw. I was so pleasantly surprised when i saw no Keyshawn and saw Reachel. What a enjoyable show. I actually commented some time ago they should replace him with her
Maxi is out of this series, unfortunately. A lot depends on Luka's knee, becouse it affects his shooting % as well. But, ball is round for everyone.
I also didn't hear Paul Pierce mention the Mavs needing 6 games against a struggling and injured Clippers team.
I think this might be Mavs year with kyrie being like 2016 👀
Why does there have to be a number 2 and now it's about names for the chic...crazy. I love this
I will be here after Mavs defeat OKC.
Wayne still salty bout Luka 😂😂
Mavs in 5 max 6, okc looks like the easiest 2nd team to play against in the playoffs from the west from the start
Thunder Up!
Paul ain’t the truth about this. Doesn’t watch them play
Yeah Luka doesn’t look right and the injury isn’t going away… so unless he handles it better I reckon it could be okc. Also maxi injured isn’t great (as he was beginning to go well with the 3). Luka is hitting 30 points and at his peak he was nearer 40 points. He hit 50 against the suns and 73 at one point. No chance of those numbers at the moment….

Can we talk about how the Pelicans gave the Thunder some trouble and didn't even have their best player on the floor?
A 4-0 sweep is trouble ? Plsssss
@@NostalgicRush They are the #1 seed and played a play-in team without Zion and 2 out of four games had to play at the top of their game to scrape by. Should have blown the Pelicans out each game by 20+ points.

All evidence to the contrary

The mavs always get disrespected
Keyshawn still has clippers in 7
I think OKC could shock some people in this series. But Mavs wouldn’t beat Wolves either way.
Finnaly one that speaks the truth…Mavs wins 4:0 maybe 4:1 and Luka is a monster and Mvp going to be the Goat!!
To the nba
Cmon Paul get the atars out your eyes my okc boys coming to play
What I’m saying
Paul Pierce about to learn that Jdub is special.
Pierce is right you can’t trust J Dub 😅
Yes you can’t he’s OKCs closer in the 4th watch the games Shai takes the big shots but Jdub takes over in the 4th similar to how kyrie takes over games
@@playboicartissock2340 😭It was a joke 😂🤣 Been a Thunder fan before there was a Thunder(Sonics) and I probably watched at least 65 of 82 games..
Just crazy to me how nobody continues to not give Dallas a chance. Same crap they said about the Clippers who have far more firepower than OKC
What... Lmao
Are you hard of hearing or do you struggle with comprehension?
You realize 2 of the three picked the Mavericks and werent giving enough credit to the Thunder if anyone
Yeah when Leonard plays the clippers have more firepower but not without him
Lol few months back everyone wanted Kleba out of Dallas and now all of a sudden he is the most important player in Dallas
Biased Okc fan here … OKC in 5!!!
SGA. VS. ANT for the west!!
Proud of skip for giving Luka & kyrie their flowers when he spent the last 4 years trashing them.
Luka the only player that can get a triple double and still get told he had a bad game
Just me or is skip and Paul high as f
Skip should retire and do his own podcast or something
Of course one of them would be in WCF wtf lol
OKC in 6.
Thunder destroyed them regularly this season
Half team a'int play... Mavericks defense gonna destroy u Okc...
Where is MVP Jokic right now ?
Naw OKC taking us to at least 6. Luka hasn’t looked the same with the sprained knee
Watch OKC win game 1 like taking candy from old veterans. OKC are young who will over run all these old folks. OKC is 1 for a reason.
It already feels rigged for Dallas given how much extra days they got to rest meanwhile Denver and Minnesota are already onto game 3
They got extra days cause they finished early and got the job done 🧹
a welcome break from Keyshawn's sour face
All year everyone was saying a luka team couldn't win 😮😮😮.
30 points a night seems right to me.😂
