This Doesn’t Look Good For The Dallas Mavericks… 

Worst thing about Luka's knee sprain is that it's gonna heal up to 4 weeks. No point in resting him now. He's either gonna play with it whole playoffs or rest till the end of the season

The okc crowd had the court shaking

Lukas knee is shot bro holy hell he looked like he couldn’t move an inch out there

If okc end up winning a ring the Clippers trade for PG could be the worst trade of all time

We really gonna get a Timberwolves Thunder Conference Finals after Casuals tried to Discredit them all Season

I wish Luka was healthy as an OKC fan, but man, a healthy Luka is sooo scary

Run the offense through Kyrie Irving ( nvm have luka gets some wins on overwatch 😭 )

Sprained my knee in August, to this day i still dont feel comfortable driving or running sometimes. It’s a real tricky injury

It's refreshing to see new stars coming through and making a name for themselves

Mavs have lost 5 consecutive game 1s Jason Kidd doesn’t know how to make adjust for a team before a series he only knows how to after seeing how a game goes

Kenny hates the mavs bro. Doesn’t make a vid when they win but when they lose it’s instant

What doesn't look good is calling phantom fouls against Dallas every time Alexander has the ball.

"They say a series doesn't start until blah blah blah" this nonsense needs to die already. It's the playoffs, every game matters, every possession matters. Therefore a series starts from the tip-off simple.

As a Mavs fan this shit sucks man. Luka had a god tier season, one of the best ive seen from a player. I mean this guy dropped 70+ on 76% shooting just a few months ago. This is the best team he’s had as a Maverick. Only for him to get injured and have the worst stretch Ive ever seen him have RIGHT as the playoffs start. Just unbelievable. He was so close to MVP now too, everyone was getting on the Mavs train, and all that goodwill is gonna reset and be gone next year because tubby fat boy choked in the playoffs or whatever. And people are gonna say we overhyped him. Just an entire summer of this shit coming up. I mean, oh well. Thats how it goes. I dont think we were ever winning a chip but this was supposed to be our triumphant comeback after missing the playoffs last year.

To be fair, we got blown out game one in LA as well and we got the job done. They’ll come back strong on Thursday

Its not that luka is missing the 3, its the fact hes taking it so much when he clearly get his legs into it, dallas always drop game 1 in a bad way, theyll bounce back

Luka was awful. But 22 1st half FT for OKC is crazy for WC semis, and way more after the Twolves games

gafford lively washington and jones jr being in foul trouble hurted us

I’m so happy to see you succeed Kenny, see you on ESPN, have your own podcasts etc. can’t wait to see how much further your career grows

That Maxi Kleber injury really hurts our spacing. Tim hardaway Jr is a huge step down

Thunder up, I don't see how Dallas adjusts from here

The exact same thing happened in game 1 of the clippers series. Didn’t show up with passion, and while some did pj, our dawg, was in foul trouble while some of our players still thought it was the clips series where it was a lot more physical which led to calls we weren’t used to.

Luka is not 100% and is going to torpedo their chance at competing

kenny staying up late for the upload! appreciate it!!!

The new generation are kicking the door down HARD! This season was supposed to be the last dance for a bunch of superstars and most of them are lucky to even win a single game.

the difference in the series is shai can have a bad game and okc be fine because they have plenty of other guys. If luka has a bad game all the Mavs have is one guy in Kyrie and he can only do so much

Tbf, as a Mavs fan, we were mostly crashing out over Shai free throws in the 1st half when it was basically tied and SGA had 11 out of 13 of his free throws. Whistle was much better and more even in the 2nd half, it was just a Luka disasterclass from then on

LOVE YOU KENNY , i watch all your videos on both channels , keep up the workk 💪🏼

Wheres the video kenny??? 😂😂😂

Jason Kidd idk what he was doing he decided to sit out gafford 4th quarter when he had 5 blocks like ???

Kenny on that grind fr 🐐

Good video man! Love the enthusiasm.

Gonna be honest as a wolves fan I’m scared of OKC, and it’s not because of their players skill or anything, it’s because there is NO way we will be allowed to play the type of defense we played last game against Shai and his crew. Being able to play physical is not reliable with them

Luka's injury changes everything. Hell I think this game would have been much closer if he was 100%

bro said nothing when we were rolling against LA but as soon as we lose to the 1 seed here he comes talking

OMG THE REFS coming from Mavs fans is hilarious. So the Mavs get back within 1 in the 3rd with the momentum and what happened? Oh ya turnover after turnover happened. The Mavs had 15 or 16 turnovers, were outrebounded, and couldn't even hit 65% of their Free Throws. I'm sure that's the refs too lmao. Luka fans crying over free throws is hilarious. Not to mention the free throw difference at the end was 3.

This is sad to say, but I think that this playoffs is the final nail in the “2010s superstars carrying their teams” coffin. I don’t think the likes of Bron, Steph, KD and Kawhi can be the undisputed number 1 guy on a championship team anymore. Man 😢😢

imagine coming out of a really tough first round series, battling a knee injury, and now youre being guarded by lu dort, jdub, cason wallace and aaron wiggins... i would bench myself 😹😹😹

Kenny quick this time!

As a Mavs fan it's game 1. They'll make adjustments and be better. But damn...Luka's knee has to be killing him.

Im a clipps fan but i love SGA

The okc atmosphere is amazing one of the few teams that making it actually look and feel like a playoff game.

Thank you Sam Presti 🫡

Looking for something to watch on my break at work and the noti popped up 🌚

Too soon to call the series over.

Thought the Thunder were too young???

DORTURE CHAMBER IS THE BEST DEFENDER IN THE NBA

8:52-Not Thibs’s 5-man rotation 😭😂

The Gordon Hayward attempt was a failed putback lololol

Aye as a mavs fan I will say don’t look good rn but Luka gonna comeback and game 2 mav’s will have it tied 1-1 and then get it done in 6

Gonna be a great series! Excited to see how the mavs adjust. God , i love the playoffs!!!

“If the head of the snake isn’t hissin’, the whole snake might be dead” I need a a list of Kenny funny metaphors 😂

Love getting here right on drop

0:42 you look like O Dog from Menace to Society 😂

I know this has been said time and time again, but I wish the NBA media treated smaller markets the same way the NFL does. It’s crazy that OKC and Minnesota got overlooked all season, and here they are looking like this

Nah, the bullshit fouls Shia got killed their defense. They weren't allowed to touch him, especially in the first half. Dude can't score 30+ without 10+ fts.

Not to diminish too much of what OKC and their defense is doing, but the Pels didnt have Zion in the first round which massively makes their offense worse. The Thunder still have an extremely elite defense but that was a important piece of context missing and why the defensive number are just a little inflated.

I’m saying this as an okc fan it was one game there’s still a lot of basketball left to play

Wolves and Thunder is happening. Ant/Shai duel, Gobert/Chet. Gonna be great.

OKC nerves has settled down now its time play faster and wear Luku down and shut down Kyrie. Hit Mavs harder in game 2 like its your last game. Take my advice Luka sit out on all the games and rest.

daniel gafford played amazing underrated pickup and tbh pj washington needs to get more shots on offense there were a lot of plays where he was completely wide open in the corner

Can someone explain why they kept saying Minnesota had the best Offense and Defense in the playoffs, if OKC defense is better?

Bro waited till we loose the game to drop the video 😭😭😭

As a OKC fan, I really appreciate Kenny saying the Thunder not looking their age. I was more disappointed than infuriated, that *ALL* media talked about was the Thunder were “too young” or “don’t have enough experience”. Including some of the former Celtic legends… *It just shows that someone doesn’t watch too many OKC games* The Thunder won so many clutch games in the season that I know in my bones this is not a “normal” young team. JJ said it best: Experience does matter, but he wouldn’t count OKC out just because of this one reason.

kenny with the quickness

I watch your ESPN2 episode where most of your cast there was not giving the Thunder credit this year. The Thunder having been playing like this all year. Thunder did not play a good game until the 4th quarter. Next game could be more bad with more of a wipeout for Mavs!!!!

its funny you are now forced to talked about the thunder because they're one of few teams left in the postseason, after not talking about them all season. Love to see it.

First off credit to OKC they were the better team and I don't want anything I say to take away from that, but this really just wasn't Dallas' night. OKC took full control of the home court advantage, they were getting all the little 50/50 calls go their way and that put all 5 of the Mavs best defenders in relative foul trouble by HT. PJ & Lively with 3 fouls and Gafford, Green and Jones with 2 each meant the Mavs couldn't attack the OKC offense as hard as they would have liked in the 2nd half. But the biggest reason it was a blowout is Luka is just clearly not right. The Mavs ended up getting through the Clippers by pushing the pace and not letting them get into their defensive sets, but with Luka's movement severely compromised and OKC targeting Kyrie and forcing uncharacteristic turnovers they just weren't able to get to dangerous spots and score as effectively as they needed to. The flood gates opened in the 4th quarter after the Mavs had battled all game to stay in touch but the fitter and therefore better team won. I just hope Luka is able to get back to some of his greatness and at least push the Thunder and make it a good series.

Yes Luka’s knee is injured but I think a main contributing factor is maxi kleber being injured. He provided floor spacing at the 5 as well as amazing rim defence. I think losing him has really really hurt the mavs on both ends of the court.

Dub left to change his shoes 😂😂

It is a byproduct of being young so it’s not completely “luck” per say but the Thunder are able to run a 10 man rotation cuz they are healthy. The comparison to the Knicks, Randle has been out, bojan is now out, and Mitch is now out. So while they might have 9-10 playable guys, it’s down to 7 now cuz burks and sims shouldn’t see the floor

I thought ill watch the game for myself but kenny will do the job thanks bud

Kenny hitting us with a dad quote “if the head of the snake ain’t hissing..”. Man we all getting old

Bro said “Josh giddey isn’t a guy you really trust” 💀

Thank you Kenny for being like the only one not sleeping on my thunder

Too many injuries in playoffs it sucks

The free throw thing is so played out it was a difference of 3 free throws the whole game

Same narrative when clips won game 1

This series really comes down to depth in the end. I really don’t see Dallas winning the series cause of this. Luka and Kyrie will need to play godly and drop 40 each to have a chance of winning because of their bench age Luka’s injury.

Between Lukas knee, shai gettin every call and Tony brothers hating Dallas…we’re doomed😂🤦‍♂️

Whole lotta yapping for OKC

People really think Dallas have a chance 😂

First half Thunders whistle carried them, second half Thunder had absurd shot making and everything from 3 was going in

J Dub didn’t leave with an injury when he ran through the tunnel mid game. He said afterwards he went through three pairs of shoes and had to replace them.

Kenny where was this energy for the cavs and magic

crickets when mavs win but all of a sudden its end of the world and everyone got a post when we lose

Anyone that’s saying this series would be close/Mavs would win if Luka was healthy is insanely delusional. Why would you not pick the team that has consistently maintained the 1 seed in the toughest conference and is better in every statistical category than the Mavericks

I’m just sayin, there’s always an excuse when Dort gives people hell. Locked up Brandon Ingram and they said BI is just trash. Now Luka can’t seem to do anything. He gave the Clippers 35/7/10 in game 5 and 28/7/13 in Game 6 (both wins). Then he plays Dort and can only give 19/6/9 in a loss and the injury narrative comes to life. Narratives just help people that can’t accept the truth. Dort is inevitable

Luka has got to change his body language injury or not every time they face adversity he just looks disinterested more times then not it just sucks to see as great of a player

Don’t worry we have thj👍🏾

This is one of the most injury ridden playoffs in recent history

Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, Joel Embiid, Benedict Mathurin, Giannis, Dame, OG Anunoby, Julius Randle, Kristaps Porzingis, Zion, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jamal Murray.......might as well overemphasize every injury and injury related absence.

Bro I can't wait to watch both Shai and Edwards battle for the coming years

Remember that Dallas is at its strongest when they have to make this kind of adjustment. It happened vs the Clippers, it can happen vs the Thunder.

despite tha injuries its jus one game, luka will either have to play wit it all playoffs or rest indefinitely until he’s okay all dallas has to do is steal one onna road n they’ll be in good position imo

Ain’t say nothing or make a video when we clapped the clippers but we lost 1 game vs OKC and here you are ready 😂 true Bleacher Report fashion

never enough kenny content

if you think “lou dort locked up luka” you did not watch the game. they were doubling luka immediately on attacks and mavs could not hit their open shots. thunder couldn’t miss their open looks. its that simple. when luka and lou were one on one, luka backed down dort and shot a push shot right over him like he was a 12 year old

Are you going to make a video talking about it doesn’t look good for OKC?

great game
