Have faith

Yep I mean the fact that they made it this far this young is a good thing for this team. gotta be patience with Chet and Jdub and I wouldn't mind getting Jarret Allen tbh, I'd prefer Myles tunner tho but I wouldn't be mad with any of them

@@HenryBarlowe I honestly think Myles Turnner would be the perfect fit for you guys esp having him alongside Chet anddddd he can space the floor which gives OKC like 5 starters that can shoot the 3(Well except for Lue Dort)

​@@jadenArmstrong750 Dort can clearly shoot threes.

⁠@@jadenArmstrong750bro Lu was literally a 40% three point shooter this year. This narrative that he still can’t shoot just comes from his recent slump and people not being tuned in to the Thunder this year.

Dribbles too much😂

@@ebenezerscrooge950bro has a ISO game that is like 2 or 3 dribbles and he uses it like the whole game

@@QuickleySZN178 too much iso he usually take a few dribbles but the mavs d got him working hard… he’s dribbling and they standing around watching and I love it

That's because no other Thunders show up to work in this series except Shai. The Mavs trap him every time he had the ball. There were 2 defenders on him when he tried to orchestra the offense forced him to give up the ball or take tough shot. Mavs role players show up to work when needed. That is not the case for the Thunder. Thunder role players need to make the 3 they take right out of the game.

I agree - it's a fantastic team. We've accomplished A LOT this season and unfortunately very vocal casual fans like speak when they should shut up. The undisputed facts are that OKC: - Won 17 more games than last season that's almost 50% more games than the previous szn - It's really only in the 3rd szn of it's rebuild (Russ left 2019) - To make the play-in tourney last szn was insane! - To make the playoffs this szn was insane! - To be the #1 seed, WINNING the western conference is beyond insane! - To sweep the first round of the playoffs is beyond insane!! So for people to make comments about how we're not that good or it's not our time or the most ridiculous of them all "They ain't ready" is people acting like they're basketball experts by making THE MOST basic and casual comments.

And for the love of god close the back door!

@@RespekfulFungusPLEASE

Finally someone that feels the same way I’ve been feeling 😭😭😭 it’s so frustrating watching the same defensive being played when it’s obviously not working. Even more frustrating when coach doesn’t seem to want to make adjustments🫠

I feel exactly the same!

on the other hand, I do think the shots generated in this game (especially early) look much better than previous games. The style looks like how we played in regular season

Grateful for you brotha

If they lose Saturday, I'm coming back to let you hear about it😂

@@Karla-mu6hn go be weird somewhere else Karla

@jermonmaxey5544 I'm just teasing. I'm the biggest Thunder fan. I've spent my hard earned money at those games and my emotions are in this. I'm not trolling, just attempting to make light of a series that's not looking good for us. Thunder up!

Been off the whole series playin hot potato with the ball. Scared to shoot and the coach fumblin

Been a bad shooting series except for game 1. Some credit to the Mavs defense, they're leaving the bad guys open but OKC started Joe tonight and he went 2/8 too, everyone is bricking. The Mavs lesser shooters are stepping up while nobody from OKC is. Series isn't over though for sure and this team keeps competing til the end, it's great. Thunder up!

That’s what I’m saying. Backs against the wall we gon ball out !

I hear you bro but these shots haven’t fallen since game 1. 3 real bad shooting nights in 3 games in a row

It's been an off shooting last 4 games, not just this game

The key is there are some people you can live with taking an open 3, like Jones Jr. But in general hardaway, Washington, and green cannot get corner 3s. Live with them taking above the break 3s

Honestly, it's the one thing I actually hate about it. I know we are scared of Luka going off, but to give up open 3s all day is sad. I would rather just play and force Luka to do it all and not disregard the corner 3s. We need to stay more at home on their shooters and live with individual defense.

Bench jail

The fact that we have to rely on kenrich williams for a rebound is crazy presti really needs to be f*cking busy this off-season

So many wide open 3s we missed that was just sad

Giddy trash bro give it up 😂

Because Mark is a regular season COTY… knew he would be exposed on the big stage. His first playoffs too so what can you say, except rotations was suspect

BULLSHIT - we don't look completely lost and defeated. We had a game where we shot poorly. That's all. You're WAYYYYY too quick to throw shade and over state the negative. Step back son, you ain't even giving credit for the close losses previously in this series. 4 points was one loss.....that's easy to overcome with a few better plays. The other was 9, that's only 13 points in 2 losses. Easily overcome. We had an off shooting night, that's all. Stop giving up and being so damned negative. OKC has done a helll of a lot this season and post-season and deserves WAY more respect. They've earned it even if you're a negative nancy.

I’ve been hearing the same thing for years now, yet nothing gets better. 45 years and counting.

He absolutely is a second option but it's his second year. Guy is a bucket, one of the best pull up shooters in the league while playing great defense. He's had a down series for sure but hating now is absurd.

@@ctoaun23 Exactly. I think we need to give JDUB time, this will be a good learning experience for his growth

Jalen’s one of the best second options in the game, especially for his level of experience. He’s scared to screw up, is what I think. I’d rather die with him being aggressive and missing good shots than with him deferring to anyone else.

​@ctoaun23 He might be a legitimate second option on a true championship contenteder in a couple of seasons, but he isn't one now. He's averaging around 15 points on 40%. How exactly does that make him a legitimate second option Right now 🤔 Pointing that obvious fact out does not make you a hater but a realist

Exactly. These fanboys getting upset about us pointing out that Jalen is struggling is really weird. If you can’t acknowledge that he is Not a real second option right now a championship team, then you are lying to yourself. It’s not hating but facts

Sure Josh.

Giddey lost like 2 games in this series

Our fanbase is insane. First it’s everyone crucifying starting Giddey, now it’s the other way around.

@@daownerulz who is everyone

Giddey sucks bro relax

No. We’re just saying THIS isn’t working. Fix it. Fix J Dub. Fix the 3 point shooting and overall shooting. Act like you’re the best shooting team in the league. No assists. No movement. Everything changed after game 1 and they haven’t played Thunder ball since. If they get back to that kind of shooting and playing as a team, they can seriously win it all. This has gotten to be a mental thing now. Daigneault doesn’t know how to inspire them to get out of this slump.

Statistically based on the last 40 years of NBA data they have a 16% chance of winning the series. And based on what we are seeing they can’t win two Mavs games in a row. Trust me I’m a huge Thunder fan but that game last night didn’t feel like our regular team strategy. 25% from 3pt land isn’t working. Also Mavs got 12 more defensive rebounds than we did and shot 40% from 3. 😢

@@LadyVonCracker So you’re saying the odds on all of these things are about to even up? Did you give up on them every time they were down more than 10 points in the second half this season? I gave up on game 4 and went to bed at halftime. It’s not over til it’s over. Remember that.

@@ErroneousMonk1 for sure. And of course I haven’t given up but I’m also a logical person who can see things for what they are. And if they go into game 6 with the same plan then they will lose. This is a clutch time team.. so let’s hope they can overcome 💪🏻

Man that’s right. I would normally defend this comment but you’re on to something bro 💯💪🏾 he needs to bring back the Star Wars outfits and get to ballin lol

I fucking love the guy to death he’s probably my favorite player but idk what the heck is wrong with him I’ve never even seen him play back to back bad games ever

@@DeadShotMontages I know he has talent enough that he should be a problem for Dallas

@@donyellroberts1701 he has 2 games left to leave it all out there nothing else matters and if they win and he does good the momentum is going to swing heavy in our favor

Don't tell the fanboys because they might call you a hater. I mentioned how Jalen is struggling and the weirdos starting coming at me

He really does have a bunch of idiotic fanboys. You can’t say anything negative about him or they lose there minds

If he steps up in game 6 and has a big impact in a win he can bark all he wants

Yup

Didn't seem scared when he dunked over Gafford

Kindve the same w chet but for they’re first playoff run i cant be mad😪

DAL locked Dub up. Wish he would’ve tried to drive to the hoop though.

The problem is many in OKC can't see this.

Yeah, bring more Haywards. That will help.

That’s a good point. Hadn’t really thought of it that way. They need a killer mindset. Age doesn’t matter if you have the skill and the will to put it to good use.

@@zoharayalon7594Hayward wasn’t brought in to help us in the playoffs. He’s an expiring contract.

@@zoharayalon7594 I said a _good_ vet. Like someone with playoff experience, a win-at-all-costs attitude, and a voice that resonates in the locker room. Look at how (NBA champion) Markieff Morris rallies and coaches up his teammates then look at OKC's vets interactions -- it's night and day. Daigneault also needs vets on his coaching staff, as he too is young and inexperienced. This was made obvious when he opted to play an 11-man playoff rotation when other teams narrow their rotation to 8 or 9 ppl. Both the coach and team came to the playoffs thinking they'd just be able to treat it like the regular season and that thinking has backfired in the Dallas series.

Agreed. Bro needs to prove the part before he acts the part

and we are still in it which is crazy ! He needs to step up next game, if not someone else will. We got thus

They all need to step up! Joe was awful, Wiggs who hardly was in at all, couldn’t get it either. Dal bigs had OKC on lockdown period.

Cringe. Let it out online because you know you walk around OKC acting soft and scared 😂

Pelicans without Zion are better than pels heat 76ers suns and pacers. They aren’t just any bum team

@@808bboarder say bro dead ass everyone who comments online ain’t some scary white kid hiding behind a computer fam im one of them ones in real life bro and that ain’t shit for me to glorify but I promise you I ain’t just some anybody I’m the one who people be scared to say shit to and truthfully I hate that cause I never know how ppl really feel

Woah now chill out😂

if he asks for a trade youll be bitcing and crying why youre in last place

I think asking for a trade sounds extreme, but he definitely needs to press Presti to get him help. There's no reason why they didn't have better big depth since the start of the season.

bro giddey barely played and when he was in he played great, how is this L his fault?

Haters gotta hate

​@@BrettDonaldson-kv6my WTF are you talking about? Hayward didn't play and Giddey was great for the time he was on. He was 11 in 12 mins, while JDub, Chet and Dort were practically the same despite 40 mins of play.

@@mitchmaher not this game, but in games were he did start and they loss. The last game you can blame everybody. The coach and the team. They played with no heart. Sometime taking what the defense gives you disrupts the flow of the game. Dallas didn’t take what the defense game them. They took it!!!

@@BrettDonaldson-kv6my whatever

You need to train your eyes on more than just scoring if you think they are Busts 😂

@@808bboarder , they say the say shit after the pressure, they are not being selfish enough, shai needs help, if you lose in 6, that is disappointing when you are #1 seed, the coach should start offense, through chet, and jdub, and shai should be more aggressive take more shots than everyone
