Have we finally found the Doncic stopper? Lu Dort hounded Luka all over the court, tiring him down which resulted in these forced and contested stepbacks. Look at this, he’s literally glued to him, everywhere you go I go as well. Doncic had a rough shooting night to say the least, as he went 1 for 8 from downtown, that’s only 12.5% and a total of 6 for 19 from the field. Even on the rare occasions when he scored, he had to work pretty hard just to get the shot off. But, Luka’s struggles didn’t end there, as he turned the ball over 5 times, awarding the Thunder some easy transition points. Doncic finished the game with a modest statline of 19 points and 9 assists. This reminded me of the absolute horror that Lu caused on Brandon Ingram in the previous series.
However, the Mavs were right in this thing, as they used this 9-0 run early in the 3rd quarter to cut the halftime deficit to just 1 point.
But, right out of the timeout OKC responded with a bang. They went on a 14-4 run blitzing the Mavs with stifling defense and a 3PT barrage.
SGA was the main offensive weapon for the Thunder in this period, as he scored 10 of his 29 points total, to go along with 9 boards and 9 assists. It was all business for him in this game, as he got to his usual spots, snaking through the defense and when he saw an open teammate, he made the right play. It’s really stunning to see a 25 year old being so mature both on and off the court as well.
In the 4th OKC continued sharing the ball and finding the best possible shots, as first we saw Chet doing some damage on Dallas, firing up the home crowd.
And then, it was J Dub’s turn to deliver the final blow, as he scored 10 consecutive points for the Thunder to make it a 17 point game and send the arena into a frenzy.
On the other side, Kyrie tried to keep the Mavs in the game during the 2nd half scoring 14 points, but it was too little too late, as OKC took a 1-0 lead and I gave this one a 6.0 on RateGame, as much as a 22 point win can get really.
Moving on to Boston where the Celtics took control of the game right from the start, despite their top dog not really showing up in this one. At least scoring wise.
Tatum started the game settling for contested shots, and tough threes, going 4 for 12 in the first half. Now Jaylen Brown however, he definitely showed up.
Brown was hail bent on getting to the rim and to his spots for some easy shots, and boy he was unstoppable.
By halftime, he already had 20 points and it was clear that Jaylen decided that he was going to punish the matchup.
The Celtics had a 10 point lead pretty much throughout the entire game, up until the 4th quarter when they really stepped on the gas pedal.
The lead quickly ballooned to 20 and put the game away as there wasn’t any doubt at any point in this one honestly.
Just think about it: The main weapon is having a bad shooting game going 7 for 19 from the field for just 18 points and the team is coasting to a playoff win. Sure, he did other things like grabbing 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but also Jaylen Brown took on the scoring load and finished with 32 points. Then, guys like Derrick White also coming up huge in the second half for 25 points overall, and even Payton Pritchard dropping 16 points, this team is far too superior for the Cavs in this matchup and I’m afraid that the following games could look similar to this one.
Now, if I don’t expect any surprises here, on the contrary I was shocked by what happened in game 2 between Minnesota and Denver, where Anthony Edwards once again did things that made him look exactly like MJ, and after this, he’s never beating the allegations.
You gotta check out exactly what happened right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

Luka is playing through injury... I'm pretty sure an objective basketball fan of your caliber should at least mention that
He forgot about that, but he didn't forget about mentioning that app which no one uses haha
He’s on the court though. No excuses.
Get off the court to have an excuse. You’re a liability if you’re injured. Luka is hurting his team reinforces why he wasn’t mentioned.
@@minecrafttorch2127People do use it.
Sga better than luka just dint have to do as much cause he trust the coach and his teammates
Team is better with injured Luka than without injured Luka, but being injured is a real excuse, it literally takes away from your ability
After 1 game?
Thus the "may" :)
Obviously very soon to tell.
Gonna be à good series !
Also bros playing on 1 leg
Luka revenge 🐌🐌
Right I was thinking the same thing. Its 7 game series. He did the same thing vs the clippers game 1
Don't worry, I'll come back here and say
"After 4 games?"
The art of the clickbait 😂
What art
Dort is the best defender in NBA history
The art of the Dorture Chamber. Okay Luka. Get in. 🔒 ⚰️ 🤏🙂↔️ 🤏

But he can some how play over 40 minutes a night 😭
@@TexanByNature88that has nothing to do with pain lmao
@@TexanByNature88compare that to let's say Lebron. Lol
One game and he is injured, and we have a Luka stopper😂
After game 3, we've realized he's only stopped Luka by trying to injure him. Dort really the Dillon Brooks of Marcus Smarts ☠
@@crazcraymotherfucking facts
luka stopper is his knee injury and he actually started looking horrible only after that fall, he was slow, couldnt jump (lost a few rebounds like that), wasnt aggressive, but STILL even in that state, dallas is better with him on the floor xd
That was deliberately done by dort. Just like the sga kick to the nuts. 7 over th3 back fouls by chet not called. Welcome to mr silvers matchfixing😂
Idk about "luka stopper " after 1 game, and he's been injured
excuses
@@Descentperson4213 Facts* fixed it for ya. I know you're a little slow but we are going to get you up to speed.
Yeah him tripping luka after he was cooking him was the real luka stopper
So when he scores he's not injured but when he plays bad he's injured smh
@@bigsyke1000you see how they playing it bro 😂😂😂
I promise you even though Dort is an awesome defender it is more Luka playing off than Dort actually stopping him lol.
True but even if Luka was 100% Dort would still be a problem to him
@@Rj20 I agree, Luka gave Dort props before the series and said he was a Top3 perimeter defender in the league but Luka also dropped 35PPG on prime Kawhi as a 22 year old so i doubt theres anyone who can stop him when hes healthy.
Game 2 vid title: PJ washington the next Lebron James
Refs forgot this was a playoff game, didn't let play at all
Forreal, the no calls they did give were weird too. Its like the ones you'd expect them to let go they call and the things you expect them to call they let go.
As an impartial observer that tried to watch the first half. I had to turn it off and do something else. Everything was a foul.
Yeah, Mavs even can't play physical with them
They had almost the same amount of free throws
@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381watch the 1st half
This was one game and doncic is injured too
excuses if he plays bad hes injured same old excuse
@@Descentperson4213its a well known fact that hes been injured in the clippers series, not okc's fault tho
@@Descentperson4213 Hey, just say you don't follow basketball. It would make more sense as to why you have that brain dead take.
@@Descentperson4213 did you not watch the clippers series he didn't play great either especially towards the end
@@_Mista_X you riding donkick meat too?
This video aged like milk real fast. Luka stopper.... Lol!
also, can we compare what the officiating allowed minnesota and what they didnt allow dallas in defense while allowing a lot more to okc at the same time? xddd
the intro being an uncalled Kicked Ball is pretty funny 😂gotta pick a better clip than that
and after mentioning him being glued to Doncic, he commits a (uncalled) foul crashing into him from behind that resulted in Doncic loosing the ball. I mean seriously, such click-bait Heat Check
i'll be back here after the series
Unfortunately the mavs probably can’t beat a great Thunder team with Luka’s injury.
Yeaaahhh
We saw him in bubble against prime Harden, he ain't found, he has been here. But to say that he is a Luka stopper after one game is ludacris
Luka just shitted on him mate
No he didn’t ☠️

Luka is playing on ONE fucking leg, he can't play like he always does with acceleration and deceleration
Here after Luka cooked the thunder after them tackling him
Terance Mann did the same over most of the last series, too.
Luka's knees are janky.
Luka stops himself by keep shooting 3's. He is like 3-30 over the last 3 games
Luka is playing through an injury if people actually know how he plays you know he is not him self. why are there so many dumb takes
Because there are so many dump people who imagine a world that doesn't exist in reality.
Luka have +30p over Dort. Now luka is at 70%
We were getting much better looks this game than in our first 3 games against the clippers. Its simply about us hitting open shots
He's playing on one knee bruh
the only one stopping luka is himself lmao
idk about Dort as the “Luka stopper”. Luka has been underwhelming pretty much all playoffs.
Id say mostly his percentages, his 3s arnt falling, otherwise I"m finding him to be "normal" Luka.
cause the truth is, he is wack. That Harden playstyle wont do him good lmao. Trash slow ass step backs wont win a chip.
@@lebaeno Harden play style? Tell me you have never watched SGA play.
@@lebaeno he was litteraly the best player in the playoffs every single year before that. Now he's playing injured on a sprained knee
probably because of his knee injury, hes not moving like the regular season
after 1 game yall calling him the Luka stopper 😂😂🤡🤦🏾♂️
Why you say ya’ll it’s just one person
I mean playing good defence and holding a player down tells you a lot just from one one game. Dort will come out even more aggressive in game 2 but yes no player can stop Luka but they sure can hold him down to a fewer points
@@pg13pacernation30Dort has been doing this pretty much his whole career, with many thanks to bballbreakdown showing how well he plays.
Dort deserves the props.
@@pg13pacernation30the issue is the massive amount of uncalled over the back fouls OKC got away with.
@@rickyzenith9168 ngl youtube on crack rn how is your comment 2 days ago but the original comment 1 day ago
Ah yes, just like Terrance Mann thinking he can stop Luka. Watch next game, Luka dropping 30+
Probably not because of his injury, would be great tho but I doubt Dallas will go past OKC with injured Luka
@@xBlazh I was off by one
@@sirEthereal nice prediction:) hopefully mava will continue to play like today but again I really don't want to see them going 100% all in if they are gonna be worse off in long run
the luka doncic stopper is a knee injury
luka averaged 32 on dort this season
Sadly, Dort is gonna end up being a trivia question on NBA TV right before game time goes to commercial. " name the player dubbed the next defensive all-time great that played for the thunder during the 2023-24 season"
remember they did the same thing vs the clippers in game 1. This was a feel out game for him probably.
He should have stopped him in game 2😂😂😂😂 lol Luka stopper😂
i stil cannot believe that Denver left so easily that Bruce Brown goes of just like that...imagine having him in this series against Wolves....i cld literally cry beacuse of that😂😢😢
I haven't seen anyone in 6 years stop him. That man is being affected by injury
Calling Lu Dort the "Luka stopper" is a bit far-fetched considering Luka's knee issue. Dort deseves his credit, but Luka's bad knee does make things a bit easier for Dort.
where is your mind, Luka is playing injured, many nba basketball stars would rest for a week or two, but Luka wants to help the team and miraculously someone was found who can stop him .. what an expert
Yeah, everybody is a Luka stopper, till Luka says enough! We'll see
When Luka averages 30 against him the rest of the series and wins, I’ll come back to that video
And if he doesn't dont come and say he's injured
@@bigsyke1000 well he clearly is so what ?
@@Liverpool-wi4lb sour looser
better keep this energy up in Dallas
Luka without a sprained knee in his last 5 games against Dort: 35/11/11. The only “Luka stopper” is his own body and decision-making through injury.
You’re clickbait.
You can now change the narrative; Dort could not handle Luka. He is trying to seriously injure him.
If you sit out , 'oh he's never available ' and if you play through injury and cant be yourself, 'excuses'.. damned if you do and damned if you don't..
aaaaaaalso how come someone like luka who is fighting through such an injury gets shit on while guys like kawhi and giannis get no criticism for NOT playing?
How long was kawhi always being injured?
I agree about luka getting crapped on but Kawhi has gotten even more unfair criticism than Luka in his career.
This should have just been a picture of Luka's injured knee. Lu Dort is not stopping Luka. Luka's knee is stopping Luka.
Excuses so if he would have scored 40 nobody would talk about him beeing injured now he plays bad he's injured smh
@@bigsyke1000 No, we would have been astounded he could pull something like that off while being injured. If a player who has been BETTER in the playoffs during his career suddenly has 1 facet of his game completely drop off (3-point shooting) right when he has an injury, and that facet has carried over through 2 different opponents (Clippers and Thunder), we can safely say it is the injury, not the defender/opponent. No excuses. He didn't perform. Thunder won fair and square, but Dort had next to no impact on that.
@@joshuaharmening7750 go watch lu dort defensive highlight buddy
@@bigsyke1000smh. Not sure how people who deny the reality of an injury can actually exist in this world.
@leonyses2887 lol you are really hurt by my comment smh 😆 😂 🤣 okc in 4
Luka owned Dort everytime until then. Luka just been playing thru injury
Just coming back to comment here after game 6
Luka is injured but also respects Dort a lot.
According to Luka, Dort is one of the 3 best perimeter defenders in the league.
Crazy that a lot of the Thunder key players were picks the Clippers gave
Luka stopper 😂
This video aged well…
Lu Dort used to completely shut James Harden down in every single one of their matchups. Luka despite being greater than Harden ever was, has such a similar type of play style. Both players relies on using pace, size, strength, and their step backs. Lu Dort usually has more difficulty guarding shifty, quick, and explosive players.
theyre trying to injure luka on top of his injury and he just dropped 29 on dort. luka stopper who?😂😂😂
Does hand check rules goes off at playoffs?
Luka was avaragine 35 10 and 11 in the last 5 games against dort. Safe to say Dort is not a Luka stopper LMAO
OKC vs Dallas game 1 was epic.
can you please bring back the actual analytical basketball videos? all these videos are just updates of the previous nights games...prefer watching AM hoops
From what I can remember he was also called the Harden stopper before during the bubbles.
I want the finals to be Knicks vs. Okc... the dogfight will be epic.
can't wait to see the two Jalens face 2 face
OKC and Twolves bringing back the importance of defence.
Even if Luka wasnt injured, hes still playing the same way as if he was injured
The guy is injured if he was 100 percent he would make Dort his son.
Doncic and Murray are both below their standards all playoffs. Both are playing through injury.
It sucks, but it happens
It is as simple as that!
I've barely seen anyone mention this or talk about it but I genuinely think THJ is only gonna hold us back now that hes back in
Maybe. That and not playing Gafford more.
Luka is playing with one leg only brother. Nobody can stop an healthy Luka.
Even though, I think the next games we will see that even 1 legged Luka is unstoppable if he wants (like he shown in game 5 against the clippers)
Can’t wait for Denver vs wolves want to see if Murray will still be crying and throw a chair next.
Luka stopper right 😂
I can't believe you saying that when Luka is playing hurt and instant Luka stopper. Its so obvious he isn't playing like he usually does because of the injury.
Glad we finally found a Luka stopper. I’m surprised the Thunder never thought of putting their best defender on Luka before or else he could have been stopping him for all these years. Or maybe it’s that Luka is injured. 😂
After game 2 it’s not the “dortchamber” it’s the “torturechamber” after Luka cooked him up
I dont think he did any better than terrence mann. Luka still got his spots, the shots were not falling tho. Clearly affected by injury, no need to act like barking around like pet bav is effective
That's the thing with Tatum, always finds ways to impact the game, not only play making, boxing out, smart defense. Gives him more than an edge over Brown... way more important than scoring edge me
0:15 ran straight into the pick... bad defense... ;)
This aged like milk
Lu dort was the best defender against harden a few playoffs back n its no wonder he's done good against luka
That's what we also thought with Ben Simmons but Luka got over it
ok lets see in game 2.
It's not the first Luka-stopper, Wiggings did the job and others did it in the previous playoff series.
I'm also faster than Usain Bolt, after he's been shot in the kneecap.
This why it called the Dorture Chambers
The Thunder’s best decision was to only play Giddey 17 minutes. Ideally they should cut it to 0 and trade him in the offseason
"Android coming soon", appreciate it xD
Man was getting bodied falling all over the floor and catching fouls in game 2 . LOL
Crazy how fast okc came back into contention
Presti is the best general manager in the league.
0:20 Dude, FIGURATELY glued to him. Literally glued means he has glue on his hands and is stuck to Doncic. But nice job weaving in the Reggie quote on Lu vs Ingram! I also like the SGA quote you use!
Some of the aspiring young teams are discovering that you need balls-out defense to win in the playoffs. OKC and MIN get it. Let's see if Dallas does. The Lakeshow definitely did not get it.
Also why ball movement and off-ball cuts are so important. yeah, you'll make the playoffs without much if you've got great iso stars, but maybe not progress far.
Can't wait for a T-Wolves, Thunder WCF
Yeah that will be good.
Dort be getting away with so many fouls it’s crazy
It’s the playoffs.
@@leonyses2887 mf just fouls and pulls and guys jerseys
I've notice good defense is the key to these playoffs the timberwolves have the nuggets on lockdown and Doncic is on handcuffs
Shai’s post game fit made it look like he was buried in mud up to his neck. These “fashion” guys be wearing anything as long as it’s designer and costs a lot of money
OKC tearing those 3 point all night. MAVS will bounce back for sure
Luka Stopper?? HAHAHAHA
- i'm back here after game 2 win

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the blueprint for how to rebuild an NBA team:
🏀 Youngest #1 seed
🏀 Youngest team to win a series
🏀 Youngest team to sweep a series
🏀 34 first & second round picks until 2030
The playoffs are the Luka Doncic stopper
He didn’t even steal the ball from Luka Luka dribble the ball on his foot Luka is gonna cook these dudes up after adjustments
