Thunder are about to put the NBA on notice⚡️
THUNDER UUUP
Mavericks fan. I'm cautiously optimistic about this series due to Gafford & Lively. Chet is going to have his work cut out keeping those two off the boards.
Chet is going to rain threes on them boys, OKC in 7.
Not if we get Chet in foul trouble nn he can’t b on the court
Clippers had more size and they were still so lazy with rebounding, OKC will put in more effort and they aren’t going to rely on iso scoring, their bench is also better than Clippers. Rebounding will be an issue but they may punish Dallas in ways that Clippers didn’t
@@FreeBandz658why? The question is why were they lazy? They weren't the first couple of games... They were exhausted is the answer. Those bigs wear on you. Look at chets size... He is going to get beat the hell up by live n gaff
@@kingzelo1049 I'd be surprised if they can, Chet was extremely disciplined all season long, he averages less fouls than each of Gafford/Lively and in 10 mins more per game. Even so, Jaylin Williams has actually been playing well, so expect to see him at C for almost all of the non Chet minutes. The player Dallas needs to get in foul trouble is Lu Dort, because if the refs let it get physical, he's gonna wear Luka like a winter coat. If anything, the C battle is advantage OKC because Chet is going to outscore Gafford by more than 2-3 rebound advantage he will give.
Click so fast I seen the thunder
it’s gonna be a fast series too, mavs in 5 or 6
@@tolstoyed 6 would not be a fast series, that would be the second longest possible option you muppet
@@RandomNumber6598 nah, the mavs are gonna walk through, but may lose a couple because they won’t play with max effort
OKC , DLC , KFC I DON'T CARE MAVS IN 6 ( i'm joking cuz with Luka playing injoured It could go either way + maxi injoured Is such a bad news for us idk)
@@tolstoyedthunder in 5
It was only a few weeks ago that I started watching the dunker spot podcast and it's from seeing them on this show. Appreciate that light being shined on them for those like myself who kinda stick to what/who they know and not so adventurous with sport talkers
Helluva coaching matchup in the okc mavs series
This is a series of close outs… who has more disciplined close outs and who plays the correct personnel on who they close out to.
lets not forget about dort, dude is an absolute menace on defense
Not even watching this video if they can’t even mention Dort, national media coverage on the thunder is literally pathetic
Love listening to these guys break down the game
Thanks JJ for not just talking about Luka and Kyrie but giving credit to their supporting cast. They're extremely athletic and play very good defense, and with Luka and Kyrie leading the offense, this team is not going to be stopped.

Mondays are also for the Dunkers! Nekias, Steve, and JJ let’s hoop it up!
I heard no mention of Lu Dort while discussing role players for OKC… don’t overlook one of the best on-ball defenders with a 3ball in the entire game. Thunder in 6 ya digg
He will be toasted
Luka makes these “elite defenders” look amateur out there
Lu is always slept on
It doesn't matter who is on luka, if he plays at a 100%, if you don't blitz him, he will absolutely destroy any team singlehandedly
Didn’t Kyrie give Lu 30 and 10 twice this year?
JJ are you getting worried about how badly national media takes on the Rudy trade might get? Sorry to say man but you would be in that group 😂
Soft take from a soft manchild
@@nova3752lol
@@nova3752agreed JJ is a soft lbj meat🎉rider apologist
Oh no… he would be wrong??? Worse than death
unless they win a championship the trade is still bad. it's way too early to say yet
Naz reid was a major piece too in game 1 , he keeps wolves on flow
Ya Reid was such a difference maker
The benches of Nuggets and Wolves are one of the best in the league. It's gonna be a wonderful series
@@6a6yv1ctor5 agreed, anxious for today
Rieds a nice stretch 4 and has touch in the paint left and right
was phenomenal in game 2
You were definitely Zeus in that bush game :)
Loved the disclaimer at the end lmao
Its joy to listen to this guys no BS !
Before his body started failing him ,the time-lord covered crazy space
Yeah, he had a chance to be the best defensive big in the NBA outside of Wembanyama.
honestly its been fun watching knicks in the playoffs, josh hart has been crazy lolol dude is a worker. okc/mavs two of my favorite teams, hard to pick a winner but I gotta go with okc my hometown team
Came to hear the Josh Hart commentary
Josh was traded away by my Blazers 😣 that was literally the day I stopped watching Blazer basketball
Pacers need somebody strapped on Josh Hart entire time of the game.
I wonder why NBA is yet to test him for banned substances.. He got extra motor, Waay too active ..
Anyone else noticed how nekias slayed that beat in the beginning?:ooo
We thank you for not wasting our time in covering any series involving the Cavaliers 🙏
Poignant sarcasm I hope
@@melbialo4919 Not at all. The Cavs are the most uninteresting team in the entire playoffs.
You guys forgot the Obi Toppin narrative in the Pacers-Knicks series. I expect him to wanna show what they are missing in him, especially after the awesome Bucks series he had.
Yknow what I love. So often you can guess who gets the ring. But right now...? Almost all of the teams have a legit chance. This is gonna be super exciting!!
"Lose my phone number"
- JJ Reddick
Chet might not be on the same level as the top guys, but he's knocking at the door of the best rim protectors. He's already amazing at using his body and verticality, avoiding foul trouble for how often he is affecting the ball
Lakers in 6
... days in cancun
They must be having offseason series in Cancun😂
Lakers in 9
😅😂🤣
JJ. will you have Nekias and Steve on your coaching staff with the Lakers?
Mavs fan here, Maxi going down & not being able to play really for the rest of the playoffs hurts our rotation. We did THJ back but he isn’t a good defender like DJJ. We’ll see how Jason changes his rotations and sets up his matchups
OKC in 7. Jalen Williams establishes himself as a star. You heard it here first boys!
JJ Garden City hat 👌🏼
Nuggets in seven, Mavericks in six, Celtics in five or six and Knicks in six.
Very reasonable, I like it. I want to see some upsets though, that'll be more dramatic and fun. So, my prayer is for the Wolves to win in 7.
Minnesota in five, Mavs in six, Celtics in five, Indiana in six
I agree with most of your guesses but I think Celtics can sweep. Cavaliers are very tired and they haven’t got offense except Don Mitchell.
You think the Celtics will take 6 games lol.
@@BoyPadForDan I’m a Celtics fan. I’m just trying to be reasonable. They’re without Porzingis and if Allen could play, Cleveland will be able to use its size to create issues for a Boston team with a big rotation of Horford, Kornet and Tillman.
Tim Connolly built the wolves specifically for this nugget series 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Whoa is that JJ with a new ‘stache?
Can we get the other two guys some decent cameras and microphones?
F Shaq, Charles, and Kenny.
This is real analysis, insights and an intelligent discussion.
Thank you for doing such a great job, bringing value, and not wasting our time.
Respect your elders please.
That’s cause they are more for entertainment. This is pure hoop talk and none really have a personality outside of talking basketball other than JJ. Not having personalities doesn’t work on tv but it works in RUclips and podcasts
Really hype for Josh hart vs Aaron nesmith tbh.
How many times do yall think JJ could work pidgeon into a tv broadcast??
I have Dallas coming out of the west.
Same
Lmao 🤣
And i think it's gonna be Celtics v Wolves in the Finals, just to put KG in a lil bit of a spot
How dare no one mentioned Lu Dort, still love your insight guys!
Damn George Hill took a stray lolol
Jokic is in trouble, in a multitude of ways. If Minnesota beats Jokic, and wins the championship, teams will have to get bigger, in order to match up with Minnesota.
When other teams get bigger, in order to match up with Minnesota, the side affect will be that they're able to implement the same strategy as Minnesota against Jokic, by throwing multiple bigs at him.
Jokic has been a beneficiary of the small ball era, which may be coming to an end.
Jj you were glazing the clippers
I been tellin niggas we not losing to the clippers and we not losing to okc either
Their best player was injured tbf
@@FreeBandz658 tbf Mavs best player was injured too but he played through it. Let's be real - Kawhi could've played but they realized after the two times he played in both losses, that he was making the team worse. Luka almost shot the Mavs out of some of these games with his forced threes with his bum knee, but point is he still played and gave more defensive effort than we've seen all season.
@@Kcirtyalk cap
@@shoelace4060 no worries - whats your take?
(18:28) It's a game of inches at the highest level and in the playoffs to boot, definitely tighter ... (21:32) Rudy Gobert is the missing piece the Wolves needed and he's like so great at his role, plus he scores too, with a great percentage ... That guys is very strong and I would not like to see that guy guarding the bucket when I am driving ! ooooh shyyyt!! what to do??? 😁 kick it ouuutt!!
Jj have u been interviewed by the Lakers yet? Ur name is all over the place about that. Media doing what the media does.💯
Yeah I hope Hardaway is good and ready.
What I am concerned about is the speed the thunder plays with and lack of points the Mavs bench makes. I hope Jaden Hardy will get playing room to keep scoring up when Ky or Luka take a break. I don’t know why he hasn’t been getting much PT but I think it has something to do with his defense. So my hope is for him to put more energy into staying in front of his man and him actually getting playing time.
Best part about being an OKC fan is they aren’t going anywhere. Figured they’d be a 5-6 seed and they got the 1. They’re all still just kids, they have tons of cap space, and they’re loaded with a billion 1st round picks over the next few years. Operating with house money the rest of this postseason.
Luka Doncic vs Lu Dort matchup stats over the last three seasons:
- 6 games played
- 49:47 matchup minutes
- 65 points (247 team points)
- 45% FG, 26.9% 3PT
- 29 assists / 9 turnovers
Only here for the Knicks thanks
How will okc defend dallas pick and role
Good on ya JJ, bring actual Basketball definition and explanation to the public, 1000 times more interesting than the goof round mound of rebound garbage national inquiry gossip... Preach move it to the next level,
Though he's missing a series from this video, cavs/celtics
Shoutout to tommy
No Maxi really hurts because of the Chet matchup... The Mavs would have played a lot of small ball well spreading the floor and switching everything. I think Lively will get more minutes than Gafford just because he has a little better mobility.... Mavs in 6 KyLuka experience and clutch too much for the young bucks in the end. P.s. I am super excited for Brunson going against Rick.... Should be a blast
Mavs in 5
Minnesota in 7, Mavs in 6, Celtics in 5, Knicks in 6
No. 1 key to Dallas defense is to make Chet tired or fouled out as early as possible.
Let’s go Pacers! I have a feeling Pacers v. Knicks will go to 7
What plays the 5, got the skills of a guard and moves like a wing?
✌️words.
I would assume OKC finally uses Biyombo in this series. I think it's possible for the Thunder to win this series, it wont be easy.
Okc most definitely won’t be playing bismack
They play JWill before Bismack
In my opinion Rob williams the 3rd on the celtics when he was healthy was the best in the league at being at 2 places once.
its good if mavs play bully ball ang keep those lobs active that would be great to watch
Thunder Pacers would be such a gut punch 😅
Mavs in 6
Whoever wins I just wanna see how they’ll attempt to dismantle Ant’s massive Wolves or the former champs (altho based on their game today it looks like it might be the wolves)
Luka's KNEE is affecting his 3 point shot That could be the difference in this game.
Only if he keeps jacking them up if he’s missing. He was 1-10 in game 6 and still had 28/10/7. OKC can’t double him so he will have no problem putting up 30-35 a game on good efficiency along with 10/10.
Of course if he just keeps jacking 3s that’s a different story.
@@SDesWriterLmao OKC is going to clamp him. There’s a reason Thunder have been a top 3 defense all season 😂
@@808bboarder Luka played them twice and averaged 34/11/14. Why couldn’t they “Clamp him” during the regular season? Top 3 defense and he averaged more against them than his normal game.
@@808bboarder I’ve got news for you….they can’t stop Kyrie either. Check the box scores…..
@@808bboarder dude clippers back when Leonard was healthy could not clamp him what makes you think anybody in okc can defend him
Would rather just hear from JJ and Tommy tbh
There’s nun more satisfying as a Celtics fans when analysts would rather just avoid talking about them entirely rather than just regurgitate the same casual takes about shooting too many 3s and not showing up in the playoffs
It’s crazy they really only say something if we lose when we lost to Miami everyone had something to say 😊
I've heard of Homer's but some fans are just ridiculous please have that same energy when the series is over 😂
If we are talking "SEE 2 places at once", then Tracy McGrady is the GOAT.
I think it's gonna be Wolves v OKC in the WCF, nice
yall aint beatin the mavs gang
I have all the faith in jokic, praise edwards and wolves all you want
Jj how tf does Indiana not have the personnel aginst The icks foh
lol u see how they don’t even mention the Celtics series 😂🍀 i love it 🫡
Naturally Kyrie can play defense against a 34 year old Harden but can he handle a 25 year old MVP...hmmmm
Anthony Davis can be in THREE different spots at the SAME time: The floor, the lockerroom hurt and in Cancun
Two places....Chet
Denver and Minnesota are the best two teams in the league
LFGGGG!!!! KNICKS NATION BABY
You goin..... to cry salty tears after this series.... pacers in 6
@@raybohlander5502 🤣🤣🤣🤣we’ll see
Two words regarding Dallas vs OKC: Dante Exum
Hmmm Maverick perspective because we don’t know OKC at all
Coach Reddick
did Joker get his duplicate clone he wanted after game 1? If not I think its gonna me Minnesota. Jokic knows he didnt play against a team having a once in a lifetime game..he knows thats what he's facing.
Lively is making a lot of progress these play offs , he needs more minutes
Was this due to Cleveland not having finished the series?
Nah they recording this on Monday lol
They just know that no one cares about that series
Nothing would surprise me in the Dallas OKC matchup . Would be wise not to make a prediction .
Jj please take the coaching job for the lakers 💯
Lebron the Oldman and the three
OKC work well together but I believe the Dallas Mavs are too physical I agree with the roll players must step up but Josh Giddey have to figure out is he's going to be a factor or dissappear .....subscribe 💥
this felt so mavs favored throughout the whole discussion
Coach kidd should use their size to their advantage
Chet can be in two places at once seen em do it
Mavericks in six lukas hurt but he is the top dog 🐶 in scoring 33.9 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Bobie can be in two places at once 🥹
Nuggets never get a heavy free throw game from jokic
Mavs 6
Someone has to say it sooner or later. Ant is turning into MJ
OKC/Dallas breakdown and no mention of OKC’s depth or elite defense. #1 seed for a reason. Who’s guarding Jalen Williams? Kyrie? Luka? PJ? Good luck. Another excuse to pump crybaby Luka
Matysse Thybulle is a guy that’s in 2 places at once
Clicked soooo fast when I saw the MAVS 🏆
