Okc fans were saying the series was over after 1 game 😂💀
okc fans been used to being trash since KD so when they finally have a team that is good they jump straight to "dynasty".
Mavs are 0-5 in game 1s under Jason Kidd. Overreacting to the first game never made sense to me. 😂
Mavs are 1-6 in game 1s with Luka. All but 1 loss was by an average of 20 points. Everyone who watches the mavs saw game 1 happening.
Mavs fans were saying the series was over before it even started 😂 Okc will bounce back.
@@davidtoscano7461 what you talking about lil bro
I watched a couple of minutes of Shae running into defenders in game 1 and being sent to the line and knew OKC would win and hate that brand of basketball so I turned it off. The entire series rides on how it gets offciated. Crazy
Basically saying, my guys can't defend within the rules and allow for some bad calls here and there. Probably watched game 2 with the switch
@@LDiLollo35 mavs are not my guys - just trying to enjoy a game. Watching a guard slam into a defender on purpose - and get pre-all star game ref calls is an awful style of play from my fan standpoint. Has to be your guy getting the calls for anyone to enjoy it. But others like him (Lillard, Harden, etc) never seem to win championships... kings of the regular season... washouts in 1990's style... and playoff style... b-ball.
I take back the assumption, but can you define "preallstar calls" because people expect the game to slow down in the playoffs and go to the line more. There isn't a player in the league who isn't looking for those calls. I don't understand how Shai gets demonised while Luka averages the same attempts over the last 3 years when you account for the games. Demar Derozan, Giannis and Embiid all high attempts but Shai is the black eye of the game. Shai's probably the only one that doesn't throw up his hands after every play where there is a little contact.
The officiating has been suspect the whole playoffs
@@LDiLollo35the league told the refs to back off the whistle at the all-star break, resulting in longer possessions, fewer free throws, a league wide drop in scoring and more actual defense being played. Accounting for how much Luka has the ball and scores he gets the least FT attempts by far compared to Shai or Embid, I think partially because of his strength- he finishes through contact and isn’t counting on a bailout, but he definitely complains too much, something he has at least improved on since the all-star break.
People saying this isn’t sustainable… but it is. The Thunder pack the paint and force role players to take threes. They have to put so much pressure on Luka and Kai that the shots for the role players on the Mavs are literally wide open.
The thunder were worst in the league at allowing corner 3s. If they take away the corner 3s the roll man will be open. I also don’t see lively going 1-7 on layups.
I also don’t see PJ Washington going for as many 3s as he hit nor do I see okc going for 10-30 again. Okc made another 4 threes like they normally do that game gots to the Thunder
@@sora_2342right but Kyrie isn’t finishing another game with 9 pts lol, what PJ gave is usually what Kyrie gives and what Kyrie gave is normally what PJ gives (minus the assists)
Agree, but Kyrie won't only score 9 either.
@@sora_2342
Right, these guys pack the paint so hard everytime ky or Luka attempt to drive willingly giving opened 3s to nba players. Do they think guys like hardaway, pj and so on can't make open 3s all series long?
The refs made me hate SGA. Like how of ALL of the NBA players, why does he get the 2017 James harden bs whistle? Even Steph curry never got that bullshit whistle.
Cant even imagine what that would have been like. Best shooter and the wisle? That would have broken the game or we would have 90s rules again.
it's not just curry, the entire warriors roster has usually never had that good of a whistle💀😂
You do know Joel embid led the league in free throws and he missed over 25 games? Luka shot more free throws then sga and I believe Gianns, also you have to look at Shais play style it’s not like he’s getting foul calls while shooting 3s he’s driving into the lane forcing contact as a guard of course he’s gonna get calls
and how do you feel about Luka?....
@@bmillersince92
The difference between Luka, Embiid, Jokic, and Giannis vs players like SGA is they are bigger play in the post and literally get hacked almost every play. The league can’t give big guys the same fouls they give smaller ones like a Brunson or Kyrie.
SGA is super quick, puts defenders in horrible positions, and has one of the best pump fakes in the league. Most all fouls called against him are valid. People get upset because he’s 6’6” and gets calls that midgets like Kyrie Irving never get.
They kyrie haters used to say if Kyrie doesnt score he doesnt bring anything to the table. Takes 8 shots, lead the team in assist, played defense. All his naysayers are eating their words this year.
Just needs to play 4 qtrs on offense and defense. Luka had 29/7/10 and was the focus of the defense
@Davidstone568 watch the game again, he had 11 assist for a reason. It wasn't one time he attempted to drive and the defense didn't crash the paint to stop his drive. Playing both ends of the floor at a high level, distributing, like I said all his naysayers are miserable right now, you prbly one of them.
The reason why, Too many critics with no condentials
They were both blitzed the entire game. Kyrie is mature now, tbf he was once like Luka and used to feel he needs to take shots to effect games but now he understands that you take what the defence give you and if 3 of your team mates have it going then don’t get in their way. Let them cook. Luka can’t do that as he feels he needs to feel the stat sheet, and I am not mad at that.
The Kyrie haters were right until this year. Maybe the fact that he had to settle for Dallas has put some sense into his head. Beautiful basketball last night, super talented guy.
Luka is the best "talent" by far in the Nba if not the best player..
Easily could have been MVP but like Kyrie said - he's going to get it in one of these seasons.
He was third in voting, so definitely incorrect. When you said by far you lost the whole argument.
He said talent. Mvp isn't about talent but value
By far an incredible talent, but player is not there. Especially since the NBA is a 2 way game.
@@chrismitchell7684the now 3 time MVP does “just enough” I guess🤣 he’s not a 2 way. He’s 1 and a half way. But it’s easy to be slow and be a center I guess
Pravi MVP!
Kyrie has done a LOT of maturing these past couple seasons. He seems happy and his maturity and experience is really impacting the game and impressing me.
Hes a true leader out there in the best way and its funny how easy it has come to him the moment he stopped trying to be a leader.
And his wife's pretty good looking😂
I think he changed when he embraced giving his all on defense.
They said “Dort is built like a LB that flops like a soccer player” 😂
And a glass jaw like a boxer😂
This might be Kyrie best year in a long time
2021 he was 27 ppg on 50/40/90
He was like .3 away from 50/40/90 this year
Real basketball heads know Kyrie is a good sometimes great defender in them finals runs he guarded Steph a lot
Agreed brother
This is Luka’s best game so far, because he didn’t take crazy shots unlike other games where he takes 26 shots and miss 70% of his shots.
Great analysis!! Thank you! 🏀
Mailbag Question: Do you think that Dallas has adjusted to prevent a 3 pt barrage by letting Shai get favorable matchups and 1 on 1 opportunities against Luka and Kyrie? This would encourage Shai to take the shots they give him which would only be 2 pointers, thereby avoiding the 3 pointers given the lethality of OKCs shooting.
My western conference finals pick at the beginning of the playoffs was Mavs vs Wolves. So far it’s looking like that is the most likely outcome.
AWESOME GAME!!❤
Great to see Kyrie playing unselfish basketball. His former teammate could learn something about that.
It is a conscious choice to force Dallas to beat them with role players shooting from 3, rather than via Luka and Kyrie magic. The bet is that in a 7 game series and against OKC's No.1 seed talent, the Mavs role players will choke more often than not. OKC is taking that bet.
Yeah all the Mavs losses this postseason the role players pretty much didn’t show up.
Great point. On the other hand, all you need is one of DJJ, PJ, Green, and Hardaway to get hot to open up the lane for Kyrie/Luka drives and Gafford/Lively rolls. Green is 40% on corner threes for the season. They get back home, role players get more confident.
Mavs in 6
Yes brother
I honestly think Jason could coach at the NBA level
While knowledgeable he is not qualified for a role like that, he is a podcaster.
@@jamesmccaul2945 true I think he could be a GM though maybe if he learned
@@MrAkili123I mean being knowledgeable and passionate is the most wonderful starting points for these important roles in a pro basketball organisation but these jobs have very specific day to day demands that go way beyond that and require practice and experience to be good at. Talking about basketball knowledgeably and eloquently is not the same as doing these very specific complex jobs that require a whole host of diverse skills and experiences.
Would you let your favourite aviation RUclipsr fly your next commercial flight with no special experience or training in being a pilot except being an aviation enthusiast?
If Jason’s ambition was to get one of these jobs he would not start by applying directly for coach or GM jobs, it would be a multi decade effort starting with a low paid, junior role with a basketball team.
He made some questionable decisions, but I actually think he fits Dallas very well, he really has everyone playing hard on both ends, so I don't know why the jabs at him...
Oh that Jason, I thought you were talking about Kidd😊
@@jamesmccaul2945 prolly true
OKC did not bring the necessary intensity in game 2, especially to start the game
Gafford, Washington, Hardaway, Jones, Irving looks like a good, fast smothering defense, with Irving leading the offensive end with his speed and penetration. This whole playoffs is playing at warp speed by everyone.
Okc put up 110 points. Offense won the game despite 9 points from kyrie
@@Davidstone568 Offense never wins playoff games.
I think PJ's post ups were a gamble and Dallas won that. When or If OKC swaps PJ's defender and DJJ's they would be creating a Aaron Gordon. Overhelps comes to Luka or Kyrie, DJJ is already half the baseline and its a layup. Luka and Kyrie is so good at faking so DJJ's defender will be hesitant. Either way paint is open. PJ is a more reliable 3pt shooter than DJJ and Mavs would gladly take those open threes if they decide to bring help from PJ's man.
Yeah the SGA on PJ was certainly a choice ended up PJ catching, shooting or passing over his head and when he wants to he just straight up barrel through him.
Good eye
Multiple things
Okc has to be more decisive on there 3 pt shooting too hesitant allowed the defense effective their shot
Chet had a horrible scoring game.
Both teams had less turnovers.
Rare off shooting night for Okc.
Less time for Giddey
Wiggins needs to start over Giddey.
J Will needs more minutes
First Jason hoopsss
I miss Maxi
OKC lost homecourt advantage, it's over.
Who will show up for luka in game 3???? Hopefully kyrie is rested and ready to play 4 qtrs on defense and offense
Luka’s jump shots just fell. He has played the same game all postseason, he just had a shooting slump.
Box score is just a part, not everything.
Shai,harden,embiid, anyother superstar gets foul calls
Luka: same fouls the others get the calls for, whistle gets swallowed for 77 he gets calls but never when they matter?
Everyone sits and and cant say the zebras do that out of spite cause they are emotional when it comes to players calling them out for not getting it right on both sides! They cant hanfle luka talking to them like that so instead of being consistent with calls on superstars cause one doesnt complain while the other does is kind of rigging the game based off human emotion which im pretty sure refs are supposed to not officiate that way more than likely something they know not to do but do anyway! Thats the series get real! Luka gets slapped smacked and everythjmg else 3, 4 times each drive no whistle😮..... SGA, PG,HARDEN, falls on their own, gets blinked at too hard, plays mirroring defense whistle blown and its happens more times than not against dallas! Hmmm zebras stop it its obvious why yall do it.. luka calling yall out to be consistent and you get butthurt a foreigner calling the game for you. Chuck said it best mr. Ref nobody came to watch you sit down and do your job the RIGHT WAY!.. DISECT THE CALLS WITH DALLAS AND THEOR OPPONENTS. END GAME FOUL NUMBERS DONT TELL THE WHOLE STORY! CONTEXT TO IT!
Kyrie actually has veen terrible at target passing the first 2 gamesm uncharacteristically missing passes. But amazing defensively but i wanna see him go off
Luka solved OKC just in 1 game ? Thought it was a 7 game series, THE LUKA FANBOYZ WORKING OVERTIME 😂
Calm down brother , mavs in 5
OKC in 6
Mavs fan but I think okc in 7. Hope I'm wrong. Thunder are my second favorite team so I won't be devastated if they win it all
You’re drunk brother, mavs in 5
Is this a Mav's channel?
Yes and don't you forget it!
I really wouldn’t say dominant win for Dallas, it was only a 9 point win which OKC easily makes up for by hitting those uncharacteristic missis at the three from Chet and others. Dallas played well specifically PJ Washington who hit an unrealistic about of threes which won’t happen again and TH jr.
Overall the win for Dallas came down to okc having a bad shooting night (which won’t happen again) and Dallas having a great shooting night (which probably won’t happen again for a couple of games)
I still have thunder taking it in 6
I think okc in 7 but you haven't seen the real luka yet. Mavs have a chance if luka plays how he has in past post-seasons
9 point win with Kyrie only scoring 9 points that will absolutely not ever happen again just saying. It’s funny Clippers fans said the same thing. You OKC fans don’t understand playoff basketball and neither does your coach or players because your coach already panicked and now will over correct and guard the corner 3 tighter and Luka, Kyrie and the bigs will kill OKC in the paint. Mavs use game 1 as a feel out game of every series they played and as the series goes on they get better and better on both sides of the ball.
They dominated by controlling the game
Never letting them feel comfortable for too long and when they went on runs counter their runs and pushed the lead back to double digits
@@joesutherland9354Not moved at all. OKC are clearly the better team and are winning this series, probably in 5.
@@ctoaun23 lmfao keep telling yourself that buddy. Ok so if Dallas wins OKC choked and SGA is overrated right since he has the much better team and couldn’t beat a 5th seed with 1 legged superstar Luka correct?
This title is hilarious I can’t wait to come back after OKC wins in 6
MFFL
bro, whos putting you up with these gross thumbnails u keep reusing ?
You are such a geek. Wait till OKC loses to make a video affirming your priors. “Dominant Dallas win” on a 9 point margin with extreme shooting outliers. OKC had a real dominant win in game 1
Well said, but he'll probably have to make some Thunder videos when they win. He gets there in the end usually.
It was dominating cuz of the control
You know what that means correct?? Dominate is more than just a blowout in basketball
@@db2921 not in basketball. Lakers led 75% of the series against the nuggets, would you say the lakers dominated that series? Unless the Mavs were up 30 at a point, a 9 point win is never a dominant win
@@tristankinnamon3181That's...an objectively wrong take. As for your example, it would be correct to say the Lakers were dominant for the 75% they controlled the game, but once the Nuggets pushed through and took control to win the game then you obviously don't call it a dominant "win" for the Lakers because they lost. You would not call the Nuggets win dominant since they controlled the lead for so little of the game. The key characteristic of dominance would be consistency, whoever is CONSISTENTLY in control of the game is the more dominant team. The Mavs consistently answered by scoring when the Thunder made a run, and consistently made stops when they needed to maintain their lead. Blowouts don't necessarily equate to consistency, though there is a relational correlation.
Again an incredible bad Thunder take. Think Kyrie played one of his best games as a creator ever. The way he went with the flow was brilliant. Game 2 came down to Hardaway Jr. and Washington. Just how I don’t think Wiggins will go off for 19 again, I don’t think Luka solved OKC
Kyrie 9 points??? Luka scores 19 first game and was bashed for not playing well. Luka always has assists
Who cares neither one of these teams are getting past the Wolves
Denver might make you change your mind😂😂 Wolf suck😂
Kyrie doesn't even score close to his average and Dallas still wins. Led the game pretty much the entire game. Kyries gonna go off at home. Lol.
LMFAO fluke PJ Washington game… Thunder still win in 6 or 7
LOL you think kyrie will score just 9 ever again? mavs in 6.
@@fourone-sevensevenDoesn't matter what he scores OKC will win.
So Mavs gonna shoot 48% from 3 for the rest of series lol, yeah, Thunder in 6
Bad take brother
Looking honest, ain't neither team has this until it's over@@MegaKoolguy1
Mavs bout to win the finals , so what are you gonna say now?
Separation was created by Kyrie running the offense in 3rd quarter when Luka was on the bench. Luka’s points never contributes to winning.
When this guy says the turnovers were even and rebounds about the same and then in the same sentence says all of these stats swung way in favor of Dallas in this game. You are making yourself look very silly. You contradict yourself in one sentence. Those two things cannot be possible at the same time.
But compared to game 1 it was a huge swing in Dallas's favor.
@@kusa13 the only thing that was huge in their favor was the three point shooting, and a few offensive boards. Much more the three point shooting. That was 90% of it.
SO RIDICULOUSLY SHADY DALLAS ALL THE TIME
U GONNA SAY FT REVERSE....
LUKA GOT TO THE LIKE......ONCE....
U SOMEHOW FORGOT TO MENTION IT
why do ppl keep saying tim hardaway has been cold … idc for the player but at least watch the fxcking games …
TIM HARDAWAY HAS ONLY PLAYED 22 MINUTES THIS POSTSEASON
He was awful during the regular season but when he's hot he is a gamechanger
OKC in 5 or 6. ☺️
This dude has no idea what he is talking about. He said Luka did a good job on defense. Luka literally plays ZERO defense. He does not even try. He literally will stand still while an offensive players goes by him and give no effort.
Agree. But it's because Luka is really injured. The clippers literally went out of their way to injure him. His D was dominant before his knees were compromised
Thunder/clippers/suns fan? Or just didn't watch the game?
okay to say that he’s not trying is just telling anyone who reads this that you’re not watching or just not educated OR just so insanely biased you can’t see truth.. yes he’s hurt right now so he’s slower than usual but he’s visibly trying.. also NOBODY can win a playoff game if they are playing “literally no defense” like you said he was.. this was a playoff game not a regular season where nobody is giving 100% EVERYONE out there is giving 100% so good job letting everyone know you don’t know what YOU are talking about not the guy with hundreds of thousands of followers
Found the guy that doesn't watch the games!
@@Sonicmixer85 Luka does not even try to recover and contest or swipe at the ball or anything. He is soo lazy. I can give you many more clips like this from this series.
