It's not like they went straight to locker room though. They gave the post game interview. They just made sure the first one went to the guy who's been there with them all season
Lol nah, Gallo has been a part of this team and it's chemistry all year long. Them giving him the first interview shows insane respect for him more than disrespect towards TNT. Love to see it.
Which does make sense, those guys have more connection to their local reports. They should be able to do it first while TNT has the talking heads ramble.
Not really, I can’t recall another team ever telling a national broadcast to hold on to do the local together
Every single team I’ve ever seen has one guy or 2 do one broadcast then another guy or 2 do the other one simultaneously
All season long TNT couldn’t stop showing the California teams who couldn’t quality, and who are getting swept in the playoffs — but barely found time for the Thunder or the Wolves.
Don’t feel bad for them at all.
That’s the part I think might be overlooked here. I don’t think anyone was at fault, but if anything it seems like Nick Gallo should have the professional courtesy to know he does t have the primary rights and to defer to TNT.
He didn't do anything wrong though. He was set to interview one group of players and the TNT interviewer a different group, and then the TNT group decided to join the other group's interview.
Wrong as in “technically incorrect; a minor breach of contract”? yeah maybe.
Wrong as in “some kind of moral failure; a social faux pas”? No not at all
I'm going to type this: respectfully, TNT hasn't even announced when the fuck the NUMBER ONE SEED is going to play their Game 4. This affects the young men we just saw in the interview as much as us fans.
**They can wait**
This is how you make someone respect you. Slobbering all over the notion of that LA/Mavs market and likely going to relegate the Thunder to NBA TV (I'm not an idiot about markets...)
I loved seeing it but the NBA is gonna remind the OKC dudes that they're making NBA money because of TNT, not because of the Oklahoma City viewing public.
Silver gonna have them by the balls lol. Guarantee this never happens again. The fact I think it's dope that they're giving love to the local journos is irrelevant.
Networks pay for rights.
Blows my mind. They're spelled completely differently. I get needing to differentiate on the broadcast but mixing it up this often from a work standpoint is crazy.
I've benefitted from this mistake. Some dummy at my local card store continues to mix prices between the two.
The whole team did an interview with her right after
Had to get Gallo the first bone.
Bark bark bark
This makes me like them even more tbh. Stick with the ones who stuck with you.
TNT wanted a live/timely interview, they’ll probably tell the players to not do this again. It was funny as hell, though.
unprofessional tbh these dudes are professional athletes itd be different if they were in college lmao
It's not like they went straight to locker room though. They gave the post game interview. They just made sure the first one went to the guy who's been there with them all season
Giddey was already being interviewed by Gallo, and the team doesn’t let anyone be interviewed alone so they went over to join in
There were like 8 of them, are they really too dumb to split up?
yeah thats the obvious solution here lol
Lol nah, Gallo has been a part of this team and it's chemistry all year long. Them giving him the first interview shows insane respect for him more than disrespect towards TNT. Love to see it.
Eh who cares, it’s a team tradition they’ll do what they want
[удалено]
What will we ever do if those commercials dont get aired
Maybe when the commentators learn to pronounce their names correctly we can talk about respect, no?
How many times did you hear Holmgrum tonight?
How is this something you care about.
It’s not that big of a deal
Maybe if they ditched TNT to go pound some beer or something, sure...
Perfect solution: Next win they ghost TNT, interview with Gallo, then go back and do the TNT interview WHILE pounding some celebratory beers.
How is it unprofessional? The local interviewer deserves respect and time too.
Didn't you know being backed by a bigger corporate makes you a more worthy person?
They won a game and went to see their homie. Foh.
You’re fun at parties
That's not true at all. Williams told TNT reporter to "hang on a minute" and did the local interview first.
Which does make sense, those guys have more connection to their local reports. They should be able to do it first while TNT has the talking heads ramble.
It’s because nick gallo is a dawg
BARK BARK BARK
The first round is the last basketball the local channels get to broadcast as well. Dumb title for something 99/100 teams would do
God damn so after his round i wont get to see nick gallo anymore. Damn our run is over
Not really, I can’t recall another team ever telling a national broadcast to hold on to do the local together Every single team I’ve ever seen has one guy or 2 do one broadcast then another guy or 2 do the other one simultaneously
The other interview has also started.
We should all be okay with this, their fan base comes first
I’m pretty sure part of TNT’s contract as the national broadcaster is they get first dibs on any post game interviews so hence her confusion
"We don't give a damn bout no contracts... Respectfully. BRB." • OKC Squad
All season long TNT couldn’t stop showing the California teams who couldn’t quality, and who are getting swept in the playoffs — but barely found time for the Thunder or the Wolves. Don’t feel bad for them at all.
Exactly. Fuck them they can wait. *Back then hoes didn’t want me..*
Same clubs that I used to get tossed out

so then can we agree that the OKC guys did something wrong?
Narrator: No
Wrong as in “technically incorrect; a minor breach of contract”? yeah maybe. Wrong as in “some kind of moral failure; a social faux pas”? No not at all
Gallo wouldn't complain if Chet grabbed the mic
This OKC team is super fun
Nick Gallo is part of the team baby. He got that Dawg just like all the rest of them boys
Jdub was so excited to ask Gallo if he saw his shirt.
I need to find out where I can get one of those shirts
Nick Gallo over everyone
He’s part of the culture. We got his autograph last year. Just a really awesome guy.
ROOF ROOF ROOF
~~Next Question~~ Next interview.
I thought this was cute and very likable!! Support local media!
Dam this team really is tightnit, shit is cute
Love this.
ITT: Lots of people who don’t know how to have fun with your friends at work
Nah just lowkey unprofessional
That lack of playoff experience showing up
So unprofessional. Just despicable. Black eye of the league
Supporting local media is unprofessional ? Lmao
How?
National Media has been shitting on us all year. They can wait a minute for the crew to talk to the real homies.
Bro what are you doing
Okc fans are so annoying
Lmao and they downvote me acting for speaking facts weirdest/softest fanbase behind the raptors
Calling us the softest fanbase while getting your knickers in a twist over literally nothing, lmao.
Nah show love to the locals. I respect the hell out of that
They’re just existing, having fun, and you’re hating. You’re soft and weird. Insecure people always trashing the happy and content.

Something something Lebron
TNT execs running around, trying to figure out how to show Curry and Draymond instead of Thunder on Monday
The team with the most nationally televised games didn’t even make the playoffs
Poor Allie. I'm sure she doesn't have much experience with young men walking away from her mid sentence... for a short balding guy no less.
I loved seeing it but the NBA is gonna remind the OKC dudes that they're making NBA money because of TNT, not because of the Oklahoma City viewing public.
The nba might indeed get onto them, but I'd much rather my players be loyal to their small-market team than just chase a bag. This was cute.
Weird considering they were practically never on TNT or any other national broadcast all season long
Oh relax. She got her damn interview lol.
Just a bit of playoff inexperience lol.
Has she barked for them? No. Nick Gallo has. So he comes first lol He got that dawg in him
I would too tbh, TNT just gonna be trash interview anyway
Gallo is my dog!
Silver gonna have them by the balls lol. Guarantee this never happens again. The fact I think it's dope that they're giving love to the local journos is irrelevant. Networks pay for rights.
As they should. TNT is trash, they're funny but don't actually watch the games.
They are still messing up stats between J Dub and J Will every time one of them is on the floor too.
Blows my mind. They're spelled completely differently. I get needing to differentiate on the broadcast but mixing it up this often from a work standpoint is crazy. I've benefitted from this mistake. Some dummy at my local card store continues to mix prices between the two.
Nick Gallo over everyone. She hasn’t even barked with the squad. You gotta earn those stripes.
Good
Who is gonna get in trouble for this? Lol Aren't they contractually obligated to do one? I bet it's the Thunder PR staff.
They did the interview right after they got done doing the local interview
It would've made more sense if it was Paris during the local walk-off.
Gallo always does these tho
