Unc & Ocho react to Mavericks beating Thunder in Game 3: Luka & Kyrie dominate | Nightcap 

Ocho being honest about what he doesnt know but still being able to be enthusiastic and give an athlete's insight btu being respectful of the sport is really refreshing

I love how we’re watching Ocho learn about basketball in real time

They didn't take Lively out. He made 4 straight free throws and made them abandon hacking before the 2 minute mark hit. Great job Lively under pressure.

Look at ocho. He’s getting better. Keep working bro

Wanna show some gratitude to Ocho for asking questions and not pretending to know things he's uncertain about. A lot of TV personalities could learn something from him on this.

Who would’ve thought PJ Washington is taking more shots and scoring more than Luka & Kyrie🤯

Man I love that these boys do these shows right after the games are over 🫡🙌🏽

Dude, Luka is walking like an old man because he’s taking a beating for 9 games straight now! He took a beating on the Clippers series and now OKC want to send him packing to Texas Baylor Medial Center sooner than later😳🙏🏽

Lively knocking down them free throws after they pulled a hack a shaq on the young brotha was crucial!!! Kidd got his trust

How ya gonna click bait the video and start with the Celtics. Nobody came for that

Luka was in shape.. he played for his country in the off season, which ended close to training camp

Man Kyrie and Luka are so smart fr. They both know Luka is hurt & not the same on offense, but OKC still respects him enough to send doubles and help on him all night so they’ve been not only finding PJ non stop for wide open 3’s, but they also have been exploiting OKC when they put Shai on PJ. Shai is way too small & not athletic or strong enough to guard PJ on the low post so they’ve been posting him up. Then Kyrie man.. the defense has been incredible, he knows when Luka is in his zone, and knows when he’s tired so the load falls to him. Kyrie takes over whenever Luka is either frustrated or tired. He knows Luka has been hurt & takes over when he needs to but at the same time has been feeding PJ and Josh Green who have been hitting their open 3’s. If DJJ could shoot the 3 ball, the Mavs would be just about unbeatable. He also gets tons of wide open 3’s but he just can’t hit them. 1/10 tonight but still played solid. Unreal defense and underrated rebounding. Shame Luka is hurt because man the Mavs could actually win it all if Luka is playing like his normal self. This team is gonna be extremely dangerous next year. Their future is all 25 and under besides Kyrie. Watch out for Dallas the next 5-7 years

luka decided to put up PF numbers. Got damn 15 rebounds ain't bad at any position

I LOVE that Ocho is getting his understanding and knowledge of basketball up !! It makes the conversations a lot more diverse and interesting.. he’s only gonna learn more. BIG UPS TO YOU OCHO ✊🏾‼️

What’s funny is u say he’s not in shape but all season he been carrying the mavs and is the scoring leader.

This team is Luka's best chance at a title.

Ya’ll got something special here!!! Ya’ll keep doing your thing! Ocho is a breath of fresh air!

Yo the mavericks are hitting on all cylinders Luka and kyrie are a nice 1 2 punch PJ Washington is stepping up big time.

I met Ocho today in Miami!! Great guy!! He shows love and will hug you like a family member!!

9:36 for Mavs/ Thunder talk

Keep going Ocho being humble is rare in modern athletes

Consummate professional. Shannon a real mentor. You can see Shannon has told Ocho he gonna learn to talk basketball. And you can see.....he's learning. He already has Soccer on lock. He adds basketball good for him. Very good Ocho💯💯💯

Derrick Jones Jr and Gafford provide a huge impact on defense, you can't look at certain players by how many pts they score and judge them off that. DJJ often is guarding the best offensive player in each series, he's doing a great job on SGA and JW. Gafford is switching out onto guards and also still defending the rim. Having multiple high end team defenders is what makes the Mavs scary

Didn't start talking about the Mavs until halfway through the video????

Weird how confidently Shannon talks while so uninformed about Luka. He was in shape starting the season. He didn't really have off season because he played for his country.

I want to say a whole of respect for ocho. I love that he doesn’t pretend to know something when he doesn’t. I’ve been watching basketball for years now and some of the things ocho didn’t know I didn’t know either. Like cutting the bench down to 3. So by asking these questions of unc who is more knowledgeable I’m learning as well. Thanks ocho.

I love Ocho. I like seeing his growth ❤️

Ocho you're doing great bro. You and Unc are keeping us entertained. Many blessings 🙌

5:45 “the inconsistency from the top players ain’t always consistent as they should be..” 😂😂 i love it

Great combination. I learned something from Ocho questions and the answers. Good format. Good job.

People were saying Thunder In 6 😂😂😂😂

luka playin 40mins a game lol hes in shape. especially this offseason he was takin care of himself. jokic is in crazy shape too but ppl look at him like hes not. ppl are delusional lol.

I watch a lot of NBA podcast and this is a good one. Pure facts, no bias, relevant statements, keep doing what you do !

Really enjoy Ocho as a co-host, it’s nice to see him ask questions to learn more, unlike most of these shows where people just BS their way through the conversation.

The difference is noticeable OCHO. I loved listening to your basketball takes here! NIGHT CAP!

Unc is so good at breaking the game down!

I respect ocho learning about a new sport, lord knows i couldnt careless about baseball or soccer. Lol it would be cool to see him just talk about some casual stuff like whos his favorite players to watch or what team he going for in the playoffs.

Chad said so they gonna play more minutes. Shannon sat there is said no. That's why Ocho got confused

Ocho you doing good bruh keep going..

Your getting way better at basketball ocho. Keep it up!

Unc was slick with the “hack a shaq” hehe😂

Tatum is a example of how people just look at scoring ..if you actually watch he’s played well he just hasn’t played great because the shooting but he’s play made defended rebounded at a high level he doesn’t need to average 30 he just needs to shoot better

We love Ocho for who he is and what he knows. If possible I would want Ocho’s knowledge of the NBA to stay how it is. At times it’s really funny when he doesn’t know he’s stuff, not in a bad way but in a way that makes the show interesting

Watching Unc be the one to teach Ocho about the game of basketball has been a great sight to see considering the fact that Unc himself started out not knowing about the ins and outs of basketball myself. Gotta love it 😌.

Damn Ocho really be tuned tf in to the playoffs and you can tell. Props to him.

Ocho talking basketball I luv it UNC u special fr

Watching Kyrie play ball this play offs is been like watching a sensei or black belt. Masterful stuff

Excellent content

really hope josh green can get some more minutes too, he’s really underrated

The Mavs have one of the best coaching staffs in basketball. They made the adjustments in game 2. PJ is roasting Giddey so bad that you can't play him. When you play 4 guards and a center, real forwards should destroy them. OKC will be fortunate to win another game.

Ocho provide us the opportunity to learn and just hear the basics for even stuff we ain’t never really took the time to speak on and go over that just come natural to a long time fan of the league. Very interesting 19:32

They started hacking Lively, but he hit 8/12 on the night. He shot better from the ft than Luka.

Ocho and unc sound like a lil bro and a big bro teaching eachother about basketball lol.

Ocho a real one. Genuine dude.

Lively is just a Rookie . Love to see his Growth ❤ Cant wait to this Team keep moving forward. 🙌🏾 #GoMavs

Yeah ocho learning ! I like how you respectfully saying your opinion which are valid and willing to learn as you go. I will say Derrick jones does needs to bring a lil more but he is the best defender and taking on a huge task.

Dlive hit 4 straight FT when the pressure was on he cool under the spotlight 😮‍💨 shoutout PJ stepping up too

Love just how much PJ has stepped up, OKC’s plan on letting him shoot is backfiring tremendously. Mavs are a matchup nightmare, if you’re the other team you gotta worry about Luka and Kyrie, and at this point PJ. OKC really only got SGA for taking over games but one thing I noticed is his lack of taking over in the 4th.

love unc!

Ocho hit the books...good for him

It’s funny how Shannon says Shaq was envious that’s why he said what he said about Joker and SGA but when Skip said the same to you about another football player you got offended

It comes down to Great coaching to understand who to keep on the Floor and who to put on the Bench . Jason Kidd has to keep coaching Great

Much Better #85..That was solid..Mr. Sharpe on point as usual..

Kenny Smith said it perfectly about role guys. Said sometimes it's harder to be a role player than the star. You don't know if you gettin 2 shots or 10 on a night to night basis

Man I love ocho

The Thunder admitted defeat when they tried that Hack-A-Lively trick. That's not the strategy of a confident team. Huge respect to Lively for hitting those free throws.

Definitely see ocho’s growth with talking basketball

Love you uncle! You have a big heart ❤️

Donavan was cooking them at 1st he would have been incredible in Miami

Ocho burnt on nba and give luka credit. Everyone gets hurt it's not his off season program. Shit happens. He's battling through injuries. Did yall say hey its embid off-season cuz he hurt or Julius Randle or whoever. Just shut up and injuries happen. Luka mvp

9:36 is where the video starts, you can skip all that eastern conference bull jive!

“Hell yea it matters” 😂😂

Luka has taken that step this past off season. He has a trainer, and a chief to eat better. He came into this season in shape. He's taken that next step with health. However, he plays physical when he gets downhill. Also he's improved his defense steals wise. He's playing the passing lanes more. I can give you stats and stuff that doesn't show up on the stat sheet. I've been a die hard Mavs fan since '98. I can talk for days, and give you facts for days bout my Mavs. The only thing I felt y'all were wrong on is the off season preparing, his defense. Gafford is doing his thing. He's not a scorer. But he does the dirty work well. Also he's playing thru injury as well (hand & shoulder). Ocho Luka is playing with a knee sprain. Then had the hard fall on his back too. That's why he's walking like that. I love this podcast, keep do y'all thing. Thanks for showing my Mavs some love! #MFFL

It is remarkable how individuals continue to discuss Lukas's conditioning during the off-season. He diligently prepared with the Slovenian national team trainer and took his training seriously. Consequently, he achieved a remarkable season, which, in my opinion, warranted the MVP award. However, instead of acknowledging his accomplishments, there seems to be a tendency to unjustly criticize and undermine his efforts. Luka>everyone

Luka plays overseas in off-season he's just played alot of ball this season he came In really in shape

What the fuck is wrong with these two guys they’re going off of comments. The coach said two years ago. He was in great shape this season. He is in great shape. He’s been beaten up and injured. Come on man.

Dude they brought Lively back and he hit 4 straight FT with that hack strat. I argue doing that and going into the bonus with 5 min left was a big mistake by OKC.

Such a big fan of ocho!!

Biggest game of the season for Cleveland at home and got drummed 🥁. Cleveland blew their chance to make it a series.

LETS GO MAVS!!

Ocho is getting better who know just enough to be able to hold the conversation. You can tell he’s trying to watch he’s trying to understand but he’s honest about where he’s at unlike sas you doesn’t know nearly how much he thinks he knows about basketball. I don’t care what anyone says I can tell sas don’t know what he talking bout and mostly just repeats something he heard someone say

Ocho your a quik learner. Your not 'to proud' to learn. We respect & LOVE YOU BROTHER!AMEN AMEN AMEN

I'm still supporting okc

People don’t seem to understand why pj is open and scoring more than Kai and Luka. Both of them draw the opposing players and consistently draw the double - which means players are getting opening looks. A player like Luka and Irving can turn on the heat at any moment - they are getting the others to buy in and that’s why it’s special.

luka was in shape start of this season....

I dont really know ocho, but i like he's honest, straight tells you "idk about basketball that much, but i do my homework"

Ocho cough like he just took an attack 😂

Gafford and DSJ been great for the mavs espescially defensively

Love ocho😂💐🙏💯👋

I love how ocho will just say he dont know. Instead of just making shit up

Ohco on it mane say 💪💪

Off topic but that necklace clean af

OKC defense is so focused on Luka and Kyrie Irving with doubles and trapping that they forgot that those two are also ELITE passers and playmakers, especially Luka. Luka can influence an entire game without taking a shot. The worse thing you can do in the playoffs is let the ROLE PLAYERS of the opposing team get confidence and rhythm. That is exactly what OKC has done. It is complete inexperience by both the coaching staff AND the players. Now instead of OKC just playing man to man defense and playing against 2 guys averaging 30, while shutting down the rest of the lineup, they now have 3 guys on Dallas averaging 20-25ppg and one guy averaging around 15ppg in the series because they want to double and trap 24/7 while leaving others wide open. You have Luka generating 10-15 points a game for Dereck Lively alone off of lobs and deep passes in the paint. OKC is killing themselves with bad defensive strategy. Just play man to man and live with whatever Luka and Kyrie do to you. At least they will take the other players completely out of the game.

Let's see how many football references they make while talking about basketball.

who ever running this tell unc i said that necklace clean ash😂 maaaan imma get a fake one🤣 them gems like 2k a gem +++

My boy Ocho gettin better and better with this shit, growth and development 🤲🏿

Luka and KY are playing defence in all games they are 3.2 steals per game combined and also like 15 rebounds avrage

Don’t worry Shannon, Luka ain’t a sensitive soft mf like Shaq. He has an actual brain to hear what you say and understand it

For a football guy… Shay Shay is doing a great job @ explaining basketball… I’m quite surprised (I’m a hooper btw)

Nice Shades Ocho
