This team gonna be number one seed again next year. Clippers/lakers/warriors/phx go home. With the experience could Win it. Chet needs to sleep in the gym in the summer

The thing that scares me about Luka is he's probably gonna want to play for Slovenia in the Olympics, right? So, he's not gonna even get a full offseason rest. Otherwise you'd think a full year of this team with a healthy (slimmer) Luka would be a real threat next season.

Mavs gave them a window for a comeback and they snapped on it and executed in the clutch despite being off all game. To do that after losing two in a row including losing home court advantage shows the fire and determination this OKC team has.

Wonder if Lebron is sweating watching how well these young teams are playing as he and AD only get older.

It's corny but I'm such a sucker for things like the group post-game interviews from the Thunder.

It's why I think they need to be discerning if they plan to add some experience at some point. It has to be someone who fits in with the insane chemistry this young group clearly has, otherwise I think it might actually be better to leave them as is, draft more young prospects, and continue to let them grow.

Adding experience is probably the better option, but it absolutely has to be the right guy and they shouldn't rush it.

They still need to qualify. That's double whammy. He will definitely play in OQT and if they win, 100% sure he'll play in olympics. So pray that they lose in OQT so that he can rest at least.

Grant Williams, Seth, and a protected first rounder was a steal for Washington. Dude has really elevated since being at Dallas, and especially in the playoffs

Crazy game. Mavs should have won easily, but those Free throw numbers and them growing ICE COLD at the worst time were killer. Could be a huge momentum swing.

Mountain time zone is the best time zone for sports, sorry eastern folks haha. It does suck though, dunno why they keep having games so late.

It's well past time the Thunder stop digging a hole in the first six minutes of the game by doing the same thing over and over and hoping their worst starter is suddenly not.

i just don't even watch the late games during the week. I never watch the yankees when they're on the west coast. I never watch monday night football unless the giants are playing (Which I arguably should skip also). it sucks

I'm a night owl but the 9:30 pm tip time for CDT fucking sucks shit since I have to somehow make it through a full day of work and most of my evening before I can start nervously pacing back and forth for 3 hours!

Was legit worried we'd end up with another Tony Brothers officiated game tonight. Gonna be a hell of a finish to this series, unfortunately for my guts!
