Man I love listening to Tim talk ball
He is so smart
Found this podcast last week been hooked since!
Love to hear it! We are live 4 times a week!
Jalen Williams has been playing so well, it seemed to me that his recent rise has pushed him past the threshold from rising star to star
Giddey has been OKC best player for a month.
No he hasn't I watch every okc game maybe the last week I give u that
@@cedricwalker678 Garbage. He’s been outstanding and if the OKC don’t want him I’m sure other teams will value him more.
@@peternut358Na, Josh been on one this past two weeks or so. He found his heater but needs to keep it on him. Sam Presti isn’t letting Josh go. If he does, he will get a lot for him and draft another star. If anyone had to go in the next 5 to 7 years, it would be SGA and Dort
@@MrKwatts27 I think Giddey will get a Rookie extension but they are going to have to pay him 💵💵💵💵💵
@@peternut358 How long is the rookie extension though?
Once SGA gets healthy and finds that heater it’s over. Chet needs some rest, Giddy needs to keep this confidence and J-Dub continue to be him and this OKC can make it to the finals
Great Episode! Love the way you two bounce of each other.
Best podcast hands down! Tim is so knowledgeable and great to hear! Go Mavs!
knicks also made their main run with giddey/jdub on the bench.
This national podcast slowly putting the Mavs on the map.
I thought Luka was doing that 😅
The Thunder disrespect is insane. They are top 5 in offense and defense and second in point differential, no one would doubt that resume if they had a different logo
Soooo sad abut the easter egg behavior!
Respect fellas. Gg Luv your takes.! Excellent show 🙏👍 Bball freak.. lol
Luka #1 offencive player imo...! Not athletic.. lol Always go back that highlight. Luka vs Gobert, smarts 😂 Dpoy owned in the deep key.. Special ❤
Love y’all!!! Thnx 4 believing in the Mavs when nobody else did
SLOB WIZARD BE FIRE!!!
Love you, Tim! You are one of the few sports commentators that actually has a clue. I am a huge Mavericks fan, and you have been one of the few unbiased people. People like Key, Bru(brew?), Shannon, Stephen A, etc, suck lol
Brunson All NBA this year has played awesome
I want the OKC guys to go heal their injuries. I don’t care if we loose a game, they need to rest and heal.
I'm still mad about the Easter egg hunt 😅
They talk about mavs for 30mins and they don’t talk about the closer- Kyrie Irving. This mavs stretch is not all because of Luka, without Kyrie they are not where they are.
Facts
He dropped 47 last night, I think it's fair to talk about Luka 🙄
They talk about Kyrie all the time. Maybe this time they didn’t but that is an exeption
He dropped 47 taking 30 shots against the rockets in a blow out win. Didn’t Kyrie drop 44 with 2) shots against the Knicks who were on a 10 game unbeaten run. I am not even a huge Kyrie fan but mavs offence is a lot more than just Luka, although he is a machine.
@@andycundy5822 you’re right
We will invite you to championship parade,guys😂😂😂 If more serious,Dallas plays great. You were early to the party,thanks for honest analysis
OKC is having among the healthiest seasons in league history. In fact, I think the healthiest in NBA history. Incredibly their 5 starters have missed a total of only 11 games (!) all year with Jalen Williams missing 7 so the other 4 starters have missed only 4 games (!!) combined all year. That's staggering historic good luck. Everyone went out of their way last year to point out how unusually healthy the Kings were but nobody is talking about OKC's health good fortune. It's a huge factor in their success this year. By contrast Jamal Murray has missed twice as many games as OKC's entire starting 5! The Thunder have a great future but they've been flat out lucky in terms of health this season.
Good health doesn’t take anything away from what these young men are doing, with zero injuries u didn’t pick these guys winning more than 45 games don’t lie. They are way outperforming themselves injuries or not quit reaching for things to bring these gods down
@@DeadShotMontages I didn't say it did take away. When they've been of the floor together they've played great. But health is a huge factor for every team and there's no doubt OKC's literally historic good health has played a major role in their record. To deny that is silly. Odds are very good that the Thunder will never have this kind of health over a season again. Injuries lead to losses. Look at last year's Nuggets. For the first time in the Jokic era they were actually fully healthy and intact going into the playoffs. In past seasons they didn't have a chance to compete for a chip because of injuries. They won last year partly because of good health.
@@tompratt7125 that’s fair and definitely accurate but so much more has gone into this success than just being healthy I hope u notice all the positive things from the coaching staff down. This young team is light years ahead of that kings team or Memphis last few years
@@tompratt7125 exactly why I’m excited for the playoffs. Nobody resting players, teams are as close to healthy as they are all season hopefully. No excuses. The thunder can prove that even though they were blessed with their health, they’re not the Kings. The stats tell us that already but people naturally because of age or in this case, health, still want to find some way to write them off as a paper dragon or just beneficiaries of blessings like health (which health alone isn’t purely luck).
It’s also great management and due to a deep bench … check out the minutes played .. this must help keep injuries down
Shai was not the first option on the final scoring play. He was supposed to be a decoy.
I'm an OKC fan, and that was an UGLY win. Love that we still won, but that free throw percentage 😮. Giddey and Dub were incredible. J Dub scored most of his points from mid to long range jumpers, and finished with 78% from the field!!!❤️⚡️🏀
What about Sheas defense? Doesn’t he lead the league in steals? Jokic and Luka are nowhere near his level of defense.
Jay Will is legit number 2 star
Jay Dub, Jay Will is the taller one😊
The disrespect on Giddey
Kings injury’s are gonna be huge with whoever they face. That teams gonna be so lucky. Gheeee I wonder who will face them???? Anyone?………Anyone??…….Bueller???
Kyrie knows that he can do exactly the same with luka as he did with LEBRON! Just like it happened in Cleveland, it can happen in Dallas.
I agree kyrie really has given Luka his respect and knows his role now that’s why they are flowing so well together now.
A lot of us Thunder fans already believe JDub is the 1b to Shai. No disrespect to Chet, but he's 4th best imo.
Bro, JDub is the best player on your team, and it might not show just yet, but his ceiling is way, way higher than Shai’s. Watch what happens over the next few seasons.
@@akashir5580 True. JDub to Shai is very similar with Jaylen Brown to Jayson Tatum.
Mavs had Kyrie, Exum, Lively, Kleber, and Green all missed 18+ games. Nuggets only had one player miss 10 games + (Murray 22). Consider that if you’re main reason is seeding. Mavs would only be like MAX 3 games behind Nuggets if they had relative health to nuggets. Prob damn near tied! Then take into account Luka’s carrying / stats!!! To be fair Jokic played like 6 more games which has to matter some. It’s deff only a 2 man race
Damn what terrible fathers, stealing shit from kids
Luka is the MVP
Ain’t no 5th seed guy who doesn’t play defense is winning the MVP bud.
@@aoutivdjokic and westbrook won it as a 6th seed.
He's certainly a candidate
@@theNURAVRuss team was 10x worse and jokic was without Murray
OPINIONS!!!
Why do we vote for MVP? If we are just going by the standings, vote for the best player on the 1st place team and we’re done; no debate needed. That is not how this has been decided in the past. See Jokic and Westbrook. Doncic’s season has been better than the other candidates.
Luka MVP
So many qualities, unique things, fantasy moves, 5th seed, 1/4 season "alone" without Kyrie, poor team otherwise, best stats ... but stil you cannot say he should be MVP.... sad.
Luka plays harder than every other mvp candidate because he has to and thats why he should take it
How does he play harder than jokic and sga i think he the most skilled but how can a he play harder then the leaders at the top of the conference
@@mavin1907 because they have all stars, depth and defense. The mavs are not known for their defense but for this stretch they have tightened all the loose ends. If they can play like this in the post season, they can make the conference finals.
OKC is a skillful team but a healthy Timberwolves will win if they play a series.
😂😂😂😂
They ain’t silencing this doubter 🤷♂️
Embiid is the best offensive player in the league. He was scoring 40 points by the 3rd quarter before he got injured.
Bruh, definetely not
Luka is the MVP this season.
People are idiots and don’t even know SGA has been playing injured
Same with Luka
@@vn_loc7316 damn is Luka injured aswell
Luka should be MVP.
Luka 47 points 7 assist 12 reb in 35 mins Media is like Meh Shai 19 points getting Carried by J.W : WoW incredible MVP LMAO
😢
I get it, but Shai is not 100% and he still hit the game winner and OKC is the first seed , so both players are amazing.
@@basketballuniverse2244 nobody cared when luka had 3 rd most injured team in the league . He was keeping his team afloat i agree that shai is amazing but there are levels to it and luka is just on whole another level
@@Norikmet both things are true
@@NorikmetShai’s actually good on defense. Luka is not on “another level.” One actually has to expend energy on both ends throughout the game.
SGA has been injured since Utah, he’s been limping since. We shouldn’t have played him yesterday either but I know cos of the game winner they’ll feel vindicated. As a thunder fan i hope SGA wins MVP i do think he would fully deserve it and he’s playing defence too unlike Luka.
Brunson > Shai
Shai > Brunson
cool podcast legs 🦵 keep it up!!!
Luka doncic is going to win the regular season mvp as well as the finals mvp. Luka doncic is the best basketball player in the world. Halleluka.
