    Luka and Harden so passive in the playoffs. OKC is winning this series with a sweep.


    I’ve seen enough.

    This game isn't over. With J-Dub shooting and finishing like a chump, OKC is only up 10 despite SGA being far and away the best player on the floor.

    4th quarter is where the real game begins.

    Luka may not be 100 percent, Irving is still dangerous and Gafford is helping keep them in the game. But it doesn't look like enough to beat OKC right now, we'll see.

    Gafford so good damn. But OKC is sweeping Floppa Fluka Luka. Dallas doesn’t have enough weapons vs OKC’s depth.

    Can Sengun be at the corner 3 like Chet and let Jalen work sometimes?

    Let’s wish…

    This is what it should have looked like all game. OKC's defensive strategy has been sound as well.

    OKC-Wolves would be a great series

    the EC playoffs will remain a joke throughout

    SGA and Chet will be the reasons why OKC sweeps Dallas. Chet is a baby KD and SGA is too good with the handles and control.

    Jalen Williams is honestly just the cherry on top.

    all of Jabari's numbers improved across the board in his 2nd season...he just never gets the ball even when he's hot and is a complete afterthought in the offense...Jabari can easily go a whole quarter with no shots

    healthy Clippers beat this Mavs team for sure...too bad Kawhi is even less reliable than Embiid in the playoffs

    Harden, Paul George, and Russ returning to OKC in a playoff series could've been interesting

    Up 20, looks like a Dallas L, this young OKC team just needs to close it out.

    only thing that even comes close to watchable on Dallas is Kyrie...the rest of the team is uninteresting, and then u have slow fat Luka taking a million shots a game on terrible efficiency

    Jabari doesn't demand the ball, he can't actually score on his own that well. All he can do is post up and try a turnaround jumper. Players and coaches can see that, hence why they don't give him the ball. Jalen Williams, now that dude has an elite offensive bag. Sam Presti is just smarter than everyone else that's why he picked him all the way at 12. Just like how he passed on Jabari the first time picking Chet.

    OKC is where they are because Sam Presti
