Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder Game 1 Full Highlights | 2024 WCSF | FreeDawkins 

thnx

Gafford blocks were insane

​@@Gustavo-mz3huyeah 🔥

Once again, better defense wins you games over just offense... No matter how talented Luka and Kyrie are, their offense cannot win them this series. Finally young NBA fans will realize the importance of defense.

​@@Gustavo-mz3huGafford got 4 blocks in Game 1.

Yep up and coming teams always have the best crowd atmosphere, and it’s proven that young teams play better when their crowd is involved.

Pacers and Knick also have the best crowds so far

Beautiful I tell ya

u forgot about knicks, but i agree

No offense guys, NBA > Europe regarding basketball. but all of your crowds suck Watch first time 10 minutes of yesterday's champions league and you know. Don't get triggered, games are just more fun this way

For how good his defense was him on offense was the exact opposite. I threw up on some of his layups

He is Ben SImmons without the pass xD

​@@coops1992 The Thing is, Simmons was great in layups. And the most important Thing: Simmons has a max contract😮

​@@coops1992OKC Thunders seemingly already on fire in Game 1.

​@@sloppyjoke6062Luguentz Dort also could be the player to watch in Game 2.

😂 For real? Never seen that..

...huh?

so what you're implying is they're tryhards for competing as professional ball players, particularly in this case being a playoff game, because your lack of humility will not allow you to accept that they're good

@@Cell9074 I'm confused. It seems to me like they're trying to make OKC to look like they're out of Dallas' league. The scoreline might suggest this which is why I'm confused.

@@BlindfoldSniper There is no sport that has more un knowledgeable following than basketball. If you watch professional tennis, football (soccer), etc there is not this thinking that exists that only the most recognizable names are legitimately talented and everyone else is bummy. This OKC team is talented, Shai has been killing it for seasons now playing at MVP level and Dort has proven himself as an elite player in this league on defense already. Can’t forget the acquisition of Holmgren, the two J Williams. Add that to a deep lineup including top 3P% Isaiah Joe , Aaron Wiggins and Gordon Hayward with a witty COTY in Mark Daigneault. With how good they performed all regular season… what more do you need to respect the elite level of this squad? I hope and truly believe they can win the championship this season

It would be pretty massive.

minnesota vs boston

Won't happen since Dallas and TWolves are versing each other

@@Levi-AoT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Boston will smoke what's left of them in Finals xD

And J-Dubb barely scored in the first 3 quarters 😭 This series is a wrap

@@ColdHoopsI wouldn’t say that mavs lost by 100 game one last series

OKC in final quarter is like playing on Easy Mode.😅

@@itsbdot In case you haven't realised, this ain't Clippers bruh. The second Kawhi was confirmed out for the series, Dallas won. Clippers after 2021 only go far if Kawhi is available, which obviously hasn't been the case

Belt to ass

W commentary 😭

​@@cartert6744Kevin Harlan's commentary also a BIG W.

@@purwantiallan5089 a legend indeed

Once i saw espn missing clips and freedawkins had them i never looked back

*Josh Kiddey 15 Does It Again!*

The new beard with no beard this time😮

Luka isn't even going through the motions on defense.

He is injured dude

@@KabirSoni78 He has a bruised ego.

@@Orange_DNA 😂

Great to see him vs. Holgrem. Gafford is stronger near the hoop, Holgrem has a more complete game. Great match up

*Josh Kiddey 15 Does It Again!*

Its just cool !!!🎉

-15 on the floor. Zero defense.

@@harlemroots7019 -21 for Luka. He played like a pig. Can't shoot 1-8 from 3PT in playoffs.

dude is soooo lazy on D

Is he playing injured? He looked drained af

@@elmehdinafia1237 jst lazy

Problem is edwards gonna get same treatment okc got wallace sga dort joe j dub all to play d on edwards

The year of the underdogs The New Dawn

@crazynweird3547 yep pretty much especially dort. That dude is a monster.

I think it's gonna be the other way around Thimberwolves seem like a much better defensive team with a really strong rotation. If it goes to Wolves : OKC, I think OKC might win a game or 2 max. Wolves just manhandled the reigning champs. A benchless reigning champ, but champ nevertheless.

@@muzidube6927lmao underdogs? You mean the first and third seed in the Best conference in the league?

Old？they are young

you love young meat dont you

Its the NEW okc

@@yumarcus946think he mean getting back to the right culture

​@@yumarcus946better without KD and dress brick. Two sell outs

They missed too many wide-open shots.

Mr obvious

They can't beat OKC 🤣

2nd 3rd n 4th🤷‍♂️ Thunder have a legit big 3 & more depth

They need to score more points

They’ll get stop by my wolves 🐺 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*Josh Kiddey 15 Does It Again!*

​@@teamslaiyans3808your wolves might not be in the next round 😂😂 neither will OKC 😂😂

Stop with expérience The basketball IS a shoot sport, not a experience sport

There’s no ego no internal drama no stat padding just guys who understand their role they play in their ball club as well as youth and athleticism on their side they will constantly attack Luka and kyrie on the defensive end of the floor okc in 5😤😤😤

They will beat the Mavs. Luka is injured, their bench isnt as deep/consistent and the refs aren’t letting them play real defense. Good luck against the Wolves though 😌

*Josh Kiddey 15 Also Likes Them Young*

@@Nice-sm5hr what u think now 🤡

Been saying it all year thunder 10 deep

Lots of lazy analysts who dismiss them as too young instead of actually looking at all the things they do well.

Maybe a sleeper team 6 mos ago. They're #1 for a reason tho

0 chance they winning this year but maybe in a few years

@@CrowClouds NBA standings wise, same win/l with Denver and 1 more game than Minnesota Timberwolves. They're technically #1, but not by a strong lead. But they are surely playing like a top team.

Luka is hell man

He had 9 assists. The mavs are only dangerous when kyrie and luka are attacking the basket and drawing defenders. If luka doesnt attack the basket and shoot the ball how do you expect the mavs to get space lol? Kyrie running iso all game and then getting doubled?

@@carllazarraga2858 Dude is one of those casuals who makes generalizations and assumptions based off of one game with his 20/20 hindsight lol. "Luka shouldn't have shot the ball he shot 12%" How do you think the Mavs made it thru the regular season and this far in the playoffs genius?

Luka is hurt in his knee wtf should he do

@@raymondfan2402 if he is hurt he should play good at defense and create attack wise. Not throwing the ball everywhere thinking he'll become mvp

you're right, Luka hold on to the ball much longer. It kills the dynamics of the team. Kyrie should be the point guard with better pacing of the game. Luka should serve as shooting guard instead.

​@@nscjr88Luka can't cause he will be less effective without the ball plus he's a cone on d 😂

Luka is like Carmelo Anthony. Unguardable scorer with bad defense and mediocre 3pt shot.

​@@coops1992luka is Lebron.

1-8 from three... 19 pts. The energy this game just wasn't there... What happened to all the lobs to our big guys? The whole team's positioning was a mess..

Not MVP at all

Kyrie had only 1 more pt then luka

-15 on the court, his defense was part of the problems though. 🤣

@@crazynweird354750 percent field golas luka is like 6 from 18 u bot

@@johnwilliams-qn8mx just saying ky only had 20 with 4 turnover thunder locked that ass down bot

@@izsan9070 Yes because he had to help double team Chet. Couldn't run back on defense when Chet kicked it out. Chet Holmgren is the one giving them a hard time.

They're being stopped 😂😂😂😂

Is it really?

See u mfs just be talking in these comments 😂

Do they really 🤔🤔 or looking back does this seem like a dumb ass comment?

He shot 13 free throws buddy

@@ethanabrahams8391he’s good at drawing fouls, that’s part of the game, the same as Brunson

Mvp over who in regular season ? Stop being a sore hater or a casual.

​@@ethanabrahams83919 assist & rebounds🤷‍♂️joker won in a landslide tho. I think SGA got 7 1st place votes & luka 1 or 2

@@mago97615 he probably shouldve won it. Denver & Joker did what was expected.. SGA??? Nobody saw this kind of season.. From play-in to almost 60 wins. SGA, Luka, & Brunson were more deserving

What can you expect… but them delusional European fanboys will be like “ the NBA hates Europe”… they all protected. Jokic, Luka, AttackyourAnkleKumpo, etc.

he is playing through an injury lol.

Because after 2 mins in the first quarter you can see him wobbling.... he's injured genius, his legs are gone so ofc his shot is too. You wanna criticize a player for trying to play through injury lol?

@@johnway8819lmao hopefully you not one of them Luka/Jokic fans criticizing Embiid who played through injury vs the Knicks😂

​@@johnway8819 What was he playing like before the injury? 40% from the field and 29% from 3. Nobody should ever say he's better than kyrie

Don’t forget him playing defense too… them “ defensive ratings” his deluded fans keep bragging about MAY not help in this series….

Mavericks with him on the floor they play 4 vs 5 on defense.

Kyrie carried him

Luka needs to play team sport and stop playing isolation every possesion.

@@goatstatusj5112These people tried to tell us that players we’ve seen for years !! Doncic and Jokic had suddenly bought themselves defensive hustle … They are getting torched in the post season on defense … this is nothing new…

Not tonight. If they can't beat the Mavs in Dallas, it's ovaaaaa!

He’s hurt he is playing through a knee sprain it’s painful and rough for him to maneuver.

Excuse😂

Hes not better than sga at effeciency and defense

@@TwitchandAshbro have some dignity. U out here gawking at Luka 🤦‍♂️

so is kyrie with only 20pts

They had another point guard... but they let him walk 🤡

If only he played d 😂

Yep, bball is a team sport. Not even Connor McDavid can carry Oilers alone.

Dirk N.*

🤡

Not the regular season anymore. SGA was 3rd

no he was not edwards looking like a real MVP in thews play offs not your chicken kinder garden shorts wearing SGA

free throw mvp？

@@keyishen9032you doesn’t have brain bro

Refs are the real MVP

That's what they said about Nuggets vs Wolves. Look what happened 😆

Thank you, exactly that. And the icing is that no one excuses Harden when he played injured or was the only double digit scorer for Rockets (but Trevor Ariza with 12pt). But no, Luka is Dallas special boy and plays hurt and with no help. The 2025 season would be Dallas last chance. They shall trade around Luka to compete, or trade Luka and Kyrie to start rebuilding, and Luka goes to a real contender team.

They will smoke okc lil dawg 😂

​@@Levi-AoT yeah like they do in game 1 lolololol

@@tosourtobesweet6976 *did

It doesn’t matter if they do okc is a complete team not depending on 2 stars

hes been struggling all day long

Damn casuals Overreacting after Game 1. How cute

Womp womp

@@MrJohnnyAOA ^^ spotted one. 😀

Not a casual and said mavs in trouble thunder have 7 guards that can play d

@@crazynweird3547 well yeah, OKC is a great team and deeper than the Mavs. They would be favored even if Luka was healthy.

Luka was playing like this before the injury

*Josh Kiddey 15 Does It Again!*

yep , nothing is changing my mind about that

@@Vortex_Feedzfr

U mean thunder vs celtics dort gonna lock up edwards also

I wouldn't put Knicks out of the picture, even tho tbh Boston's crunch time was improved alot, but Tatum's efficiency is garbage.

@@z0zef I just don't believe Brunson will keep scoring 40 every game this long, Celtics will beat them in 5. They lost Mitchell Robinson again too.

Luka is like Carmelo Anthony. Unguardable scorer with bad defense and mediocre 3pt shot.

he is faking since the clippers series

​@@saifoalfalahi4905 I agree because he was playing this bad before the injury. He knows teams are starting to play defense and certain so called top 5 players all time are getting exposed

Stop making silly excuses The Mavs just realized they're not playing the old Kawhi-less Clippers anymore. They actually have to play stronger. 😂

@@saifoalfalahi4905 you’re delusional man. Luka has always delivered in the playoffs

@@mickaellandry9726They won their 2 games when the klaw was playing

*They Also Have One Of The Best Crowds Hyping Up Paedophile Josh Kiddey 15* (...and the jazz too)

*Keep it up Josh Kiddey 15*

Impossible

EASY THERE!🤚

No calm down lol. They only lost in the 4th quarter. They can turn it around next game. OKC couldn't handle Gafford on defence, so if Liveley defend the same way, 1-1 straight away 110 - 100 to Dallas.

All sweeps except Knicks-Pacers cause both teams suck xD

​@@SundaeKongoKingdomthis isn't going more than 5. Could be a sweep

*Josh Kiddey 15 Does It Again!*

The Thunder are head and shoulders stronger than the Clippers. OKC will most likely sweep.

@@wolfbane610 Nice bait 😁

@@wolfbane610Sweep is a very low IQ statement 😭

And OKC also won game 1 against Pels,tf you saying bruh?

Wolfs right, the thunder are miles ahead of the clippers. Thunder in 5.

Who cares he is now even a terrible bench player.

Yes the funeral Roses lol

Cry baby cry. Any day it's a foul. OKC are just too strong.

Yea the 3 more ft attemps made them win by 22

21pf vs 18pf yea crazy difference huh

Okc got some calls in their favor but it wouldn’t have matter anyway. A lot of these playoff games been bad calls and good no calls, aslong as they stay consistent on both ends I don’t have a problem.

Boo hoo

Gotta leave room for the other Luka fans too man…

Sga and jdub both have ankle injuries so what ur pt

Luka was playing exactly the same before the so called injury

@@RafiqWashington-tx7idnah he was not

@@Romanus- yes he was. First two games he shot 42% from the field. Second game he shot 29%and the third game he shot 41%. That's below 40% from the field. That's before his so called injury. So don't just assume I'm making up stuff without looking at his stats

Hi

GO OKC GO
