[Highlight] Donte DiVincenzo puts the clamps on SGA to force a turnover
The shove at the end lmao
Nothing personal but get the fuck off of me shove
Just like Westbrook and KAT lol
im here for the Westbrook appreciation
Im here for it too
You know he was expecting to be called for the foul there and was most likely surprised they didn’t.
I love that.
Straight disrespectful
Super necessary
That was like 2-5 fouls there but man this really makes me miss Donte being a Knick lol
His last game as a Knick being a 39 point game in the first Game 7 MSG had seen since 1995 didn’t do it?
Yeah his 2nd +30pt game that series!
He also had 2 steals that game lol
Fuck Leon man
lol Responding to your own comment 11 mins later. That’s real pain. I’m with you 100%
blame the Thunder for swiping iHart, Leon did not want to make that trade
Leon was supposedly enamored with Towns for years
Trading two good starters for a center on a supermax because you lost your cost-effective center is just bad business anyway
You’re so stupid holy shit
I mean this is exactly how Dort and Caruso guard the other teams best player every possession
If the Thunder are allowed to play like this, everyone else should be too
Dort full on shoved Ant right in front of the refs and it wasn’t called.
Thunder fans should stop crying
NGL I didn’t want to see KAT leave Minny but after Julius got healthy last year I was a convert.
Always felt like Jules was an underappreciated player. I had my gripes with him, but he legit lifted our franchise back out of the gutter, and I’ll forever be grateful. I miss both him and Donte very much
Good thing though is that I already liked the Wolves since the Garnett days, so its even easier to root for you all now with 2 of my favorite Knicks being on the team
Hes weirdly good every other season. Never seen anything like it.
Don’t say that because if he signs with the Knicks again this offseason I’m gunna lose it
All it takes for people to convert is actually watching him play basketball instead of reading headlines
I slow-mo’d the slow mo because I thought the same but there actually isn’t anything egregious (at least in the replay they provided here). I was surprised.
I mostly agree; definitely not as egregious as it initially appears.
But that push at the end was a foul - and also exactly why I love Donte lol
Totally fair.
I actually used to dislike him solely because of his Nova time and me being jealous as a Duke fan but slowly began to like him because of his tenacity and hustle.
There was no foul until the push. I think the ball was dead then anyway.
Nothing egregious and nothing to call on the defense there, it was all ball and hands DV was making contact with.
I miss Donte being a Warrior
Always loved that dude. Nothing not to love. Brings great energy
Still less fouls than Caruso
Definitely a foul, he pushed SGA right at the beginning of the check.
i miss him being on the bucks
That’s just standard OKC defense. Not so easy when it’s thrown back at them and the whistle isn’t bailing them out.
Foul? John Starks, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, and Xavier McDaniel, disagree.
Ant got a a tech (rightfully so) after he got super frustrated when he was fouled maybe 15 times in a possession.
The shove was a nice finishing touch.
first strip great defense, then quickly devolves into fouling
the argument in the comments section is pretty funny though lol, this is both an obvious foul (multiple) by divincenzo and something dort and/or caruso could definitely also get away with
Look I’m fine either way as long as BOTH teams are allowed to play with the same level of physicality
If refs want to allow this kind of mauling/physical defense and not call it a foul, fine but both teams get to do it, not just the Thunder
If refs want to call that a foul, I’m fine with that too - but you better call it also on Dort and Caruso every time they do it. And let’s all be real for a second - if Dort/Caruso actually got called for all the fouls they commit, they would both foul completely out of every game they play by the 2nd quarter
Bro you’re exaggerating–they would foul out by the end of the 3rd quarter. Be reasonable!
I’m fine with this whistle. Especially in the playoffs.
i think it’s pretty silly, ‘physical defense’ getting away with one uncalled foul is whatever, but probably shouldn’t let guys start wrestling out there
yeah i bet you would be lol half your team does that shit and it worked last year
The refs let them play tonight and it was awesome.
If Dort and Caruso can get away with it, then so should the other team.
And frankly, that would be fine.
This is sport. Sport is rough, or it used to be. Handchecking used to be allowed, so when a baller scored a bucket. He really earned it. So Im okay with it (great D by Donte), but it is up to the league, and what they’ll allow.
most surprising part of the clip is SGA actually blatantly getting fouled for once and not complaining lol
Brother that is a foul
That’s Donte Caruso
Donte Dort
Dortvincenzo*
Dorte Carucenzo
There it is.
Clean in my book
Two fouls
Fuck OKC
It’s literally exactly the same thing that Caruso and Dort get away with every possession
I thought they’d at least call the tech lmao
They letting both teams get away with being aggressive
Literally the Spiderman meme in the comments yall are all the same
Meanwhile I just wanna make a reference to Donte being from Delaware that nobody would understand
There are people from Delaware? I thought it was all companies avoiding taxes and chickens /s
More chickens than people is an honest to god Delaware fact.
Also December 7th, or ‘A Day Which Will Live in Infamy’ AKA Pearl Harbor, is celebrated in Delaware as Delaware Day. First State, bitches!
And Delaware is the only state that’s partially round.
It also is like 8mi wide at its skinniest and takes maybe 2hr to drive top to bottom, unless it’s beach season. But it’s got a hellish portion of I95. You can hop off pretty easily to avoid like $8 in tolls headed into Maryland going south though, fun fact.
I hope everyone has enjoyed Delaware facts!
Ah yes, I am familiar with that stretch of I95. I live in Virginia, so I’m in one of the 4 states in the country that is aware of anything about Delaware lol
Don’t forgot the shockingly high crime rate
Accurate
The funniest nickname I’ve heard for Dante is “the Michael Jordan of Delaware”. I shed a tear laughing when I hear it.
BIG RAGU WE MISS U
He was ours first 💔
We miss him too
Lmao if this was any player on OKC this would get 10k upvotes. If it was Dort the internet would just cease to exist
Its crazy that a post of a guy just swatting hands and arms to cause a turnover has almost 2k upvotes because it’s against SGA. This sub is doomed.
VERY physical game
I’d rather watch physical games but at the same time physical games hurt players
I think the best balance is physical playoffs bc of the adequate rest then calling more contact during the season
Call me crazy but I’d just prefer every game be the same and somewhere in the middle.
It’s pretty clearly a “let them play” game but the inconsistency is the problem. Both in terms of which teams/players get calls and which games are touch fouls vs wrestling.
And it’s often not even consistent from quarter to quarter.
I just don’t really wanna see more than 15-20 free throws per team in a game
But if you do that every night and people are too aggressive you get hurt
As long as they’re consistent in the actual game it’s fine
The worst is when the 1st quarter they call nothing then magically every bump is a foul
If it were Dort Trump would invade Canada.
bro just swatting his hands 😭
The OKC wing defender special.
That move is just called the “Alex Caruso On Every Possession” special
SGA is lucky he got the Caruso special instead of the Dort.
Thread full of hypocrisy
Most blatant foul of all time lol how this wasn’t called is outrageous. Then Shai hits a layup that should have been an and 1 the next possession. How you can call this clip clamps is beyond me
[deleted]
And the 3 slaps on the arm before hand
I liked the forearm to shai’s chest before he first stripped him personally
Yeah it’s terrible. People love to focus on OKC’s whistle and they ignore how fucked reffing in general is these days. There was a play tonight where one ref called it an offensive foul and the other called a defensive foul lol
How’d he not get called for a foul?
The Finch Effect
Turns out all you have to do is throw a temper tantrum during a post game press conference and your team gets away with shit like this
Obviously you don’t know what you’re talking about because it was during the game
Referring to a previous game….
Plot Armor? Gimme Finch armor instead!
That’s called the “Lu Dort” treatment
Refs scared of finch? Idk. Wolves were way more physical and got called for way less for awhile, fair play though. Do what ya gotta do to win your super bowl.
I know I’m bias but the Thunder were doing the same thing all night
This sub’s comment sections are so incredibly predictable
It’s good for a laugh
If we repeat I’m gonna be sooo annoying
Okc lives rent free in everyone’s heads. Every game gets treated like the finals and every team just throws haymakers all game in their energy output, meanwhile okc already proved it with this exact roster why the fuck would they go all out with this many Injuries rn.
That was crazy lmao. Bro just molested him. Good defense still lol. Make the refs blow the whistle, every time they don’t you get a little more leash. They call it “Dorting”
There was no foul called, they said it was out of bounds off SGA and gave him a turnover…
Sounds like Thunder fans are finally understanding how every other team feels when Dort and Caruso just commit fouls for 48 min straight and everyone talks about what good defenders they are
I was absolutely shocked there was no foul called
Refs fear Finch now
They just let him be Caruso for the night.
Remember, OKC are the only team in the league allowed to play physical defense
Please come back donte
If the NBA would allow people to play defense like this on the regular, the league would look WAY different 🤷🏽
Games would end like 60-58 if this is how defense was allowed to play.
This is how the Warrior/Rocket series looked last April and it was fantastic.
shove at the end has me weak these mfs hate us
…unpopular opinion, but he definitely fouled him, lol.
Not unpopular at all, it is just a bit of a cool moment where everyone is feeling the energy from him being a dawg, even the referees.
Good play but was that push at the end really necessary??? And surprised that didn’t get called
Hart was shoved to the ground earlier, and he somehow came away with the only tech. Weird game
“clamps on sga” 😂 7-11 so far lmao
+/- of -22 for a team low too
Rest of the team just ass what can I say
r/NBA Christmas. You love to see it. Gotta give the little guys a W!
That’s not a foul that’s 3 fouls
“clamps” lmao JC
Not an SGA fan at all, but DiVincenzo is fucking trash on defense. He literally just pulled a Dort & grabbed SGA.
That prime video quality 👌
Surprised they didn’t call a flagrant for the “shove” lmaooooo
Imy
The Michael Jordan of Delaware!
…
THE CLAMPS
Man this no call sent me
Don’t cry come playoff time when the energy matches
No meat, no ball
He fouled Shai
I mean the push after thats a tech kinda weird they didnt call that objectively speaking
Has anyone ever seen Bills coach Joe Brady and Donte in the same room together…?
God I love Donte
1
Fun Fact: DiVincenzo technically molested a teenager.
Fun fact #2: I’m referring to the time he assaulted Ron Holland.
SGa getting exposed now he can’t get away with flopping as much. It’s glorious
As an ethical ball diciple… and bucks big Ragu original g… foul 😓
I like that SGA gets back after plays like this. I guess getting calls often helps, but players like Luka would be much better if they did this too.
If you say this is a foul, you might be a pussy
Yea, thats a foul, folks.
He bout to be tackling dudes like that last year in New York lmao
I love how our games against OKC are basically just a brawl at this point until the refs decide what the rules are.
That’s some hilarious fouling
Were any players suspended for leaving bench?
“Clamps”😭
“I would like some more ft”
That’s my favorite part of this
Nuggets fans gotta be the most pathetic of all😂 always find pleasure in seeing thunder lose.
Like dawg i couldn’t even care less about your games but okc is too much in y’all heads
Its just a funny replay bro chill out champ
Its really funny that the wolves played with more intensity in this half than they did the entire playoff series. They always get up for these in the regular season.
Lmao might as well give DD some boxing gloves smh
Shen cone.

Fuckin dawg
Man winged c, is a beast!!!!
Thunder getting belt to ass again because SGA can’t carry shit
He has a ring and a finals mvp, champ. Maybe it didn’t show up on tiktok so you didn’t realize lol
If Dort did this he’d be crucified at halftime
Because Dort would’ve also tried to hyperextend his matchup’s knee or grab their nutsack.
One thing you can say about Big Ragu is that whichever team he left misses him bitterly. Dude’s just an incredible swiss army of a player.
Divincenzo would be “accidentally” injured by dirt if he did this in the playoffs
Warriors fans said Podz is a cheap DDV. Podz wishes he can play defense.
BIG RAGU!
Dude is the most underrated elite defender in the league. He fucking sticks to you and screens don’t even affect him. Applies pressure with the best of them.
Okc fans whining about this is peak. Oh the sweet sweet irony
And the sweet irony of the people cheering this who would be crying if the teams were switched?
SGA a bitch
defensive highlights always go extra hard 🔥🔥
Fouled him but fuck it
That’s a foul on Divicenzo very easily , however , Caruso and Dort get away with CB defense on opposing players
If the refs dont call it , that’s clean
SGA didn’t know how to respond without getting a whistle lmao
yeah not so fun having “active hands” used against you is it OKC
Warriors should have never traded him
Surprised SGA didn’t flop
Like I’ve always said, Minnesota is just as if not more physical than OKC lmfao its hilarious how people like to pretend otherwise
They were super physical in last year’s playoffs this sub just has selective memory loss
and against Denver the year before. Can’t forget about Nuggets fans crying about it.
Yup and then our whistle completely changed when we played OKC. Adam silver is a coward
Chris Finch trolled the NBA and Reddit into bizarro world
He’s like Caruso but with a lot more hair.
Kobe shit. I love it.
I would like to see more defenders get away with fouling SGA please (I am a bit of a hater)
DDV is so god damn good at basketball
I feel bad for the next team okc will face, they are going to get called for every breath they make as a foul
You have Luka, you shouldn’t be talking
Didn’t know luka played for okc, as all i see is okc vs wolves in the post
Donte always been a dog
FTA not that good 1v1, needs the ref to help out
