Finally someone who understands and can explain OKC's defensive scheme (and the guy who played them in the previous series). The reason Luka and Kyrie are struggling is because of that strong side help which is taking away their scoring lanes and forcing PJ or whichever corner shooter to hit shots

[@knifeknights7693]

Mostly only gossiping but doesn’t actually know basketball.

[@craigcreamer4123]

@@knifeknights7693 What are you talking about? Are you saying you know more then a NBA player who literally just played them.. As a OKC fan they've ran this d before in the regular season. They will live with PJ and Derek Jones shooting wide open shots while luka gets put in the Dortcher chamber where he just sucks the space away from Luka the slower he plays the closer Dort gets.

[@user-tc1cd3nx2f]

Luka is struggling bc of his injury but okay 🤣 let mfs believe Dort can lock him down despite him shooting an absurd 82% with Dort on him before the series started

[@PressureFlipperZ]

Okc got a lot of heart ♥️

[@forgetful3360]

Good job.

[@kyleclark4650]

CJ with some real basketball talk! You need to be on ESPN more often! Just got beat out by OKC and still aint hating just talking real basketball its nice!!!

[@CharlesGilgeous-Alexander]

[@marchofempires7297]

3:00 didn't nuggets did it in 2020 3-1 deficit

[@KasuKazumi]

Twice at that too

[@JayGray-gt3em]

Tatum in the hot seat?

[@tombystander]

Get thst girl some water

[@abbyfarris5578]

They both pretty much gave okc or Dallas no chance in the next series

[@Mista67]

Luka is playing hurt. It’s Dort

[@craigcreamer4123]

If Luka would play off ball and runs pick n roll with Kyrie it would take away some of Dorts strong suits on D. The slower Luka plays the closer Dort gets and just sucks you in. Hence Lu Dorts nick name the Dortcher Chamber...
