Luka about to have 2 conf final app in 6 years same as Lebron, Steph, Shaq & more than Mj, jokic, giannis. Good for a “not a winning” player lol
Impressive to see the Mavs led by a diminished Luka and a scoreless Kyrie taking down the RS leader led by a healthy SGA and squad. Obviously expérience plays a big role but still. I guess RS and Playoffs basketball are 2 different sports
This dudes been a Luka hater all season, dont switch up now you had Thunders in 6. Clown.
Hate the gambling ads
First of all, don't put game of thrones on the same list as LOTR. Secondly, I hope your under-selling Dessel's story as tragiclly as you are because you know something I don't and are planning a big coverage spot on your other channel.
Shai's game is too reliant on drawing fouls. I saw him make exagerated motions, running out of line to draw fouls. It will affect his playoff performance. Just outball the other team.
As much as Tatum has struggled shooting this postseason, his playmaking and especially defense makes him better than a lot of young guys in the league and I hate that people don’t give him more credit for that. He’s our most consistent defender and at times our best and when he decides to make plays he’s better than anyone understands. I’d rather he be more of a point forward because he’s so iso heavy when it comes to his shot making. Let Brown carry the offense for the 1st 3 then Tatum should look to close the game
Garland is completely "useless" player in the league, he could be a useful sixth man, dude wants to be a opt no1…CAV played their best ball when he was injured
Thunder got a fraudulent coy I ain’t seen 1 adjustments besides finally benching benching giddey
Kyrie deserves some credit for playmaking and decision making. He intentionally knew they were going to try and stop him from putting up big numbers and was an intentional decoy most of the game to get others involved. That’s growth 💯
Video starts at 2:11 after all the nonsense
Nothing better than waking up to a new video. Your the man🙏
I picked the Mavs to win this series (As most have) due to more experience and being bigger. It is actually ironic that if they just made their FTs in Game 4, the series would already be over
I’m glad you finally woke up and actually looked at Tatum impact more than his scoring ability.
Really? Luka passed a big test? Gtfo
Outside of game 1, The Mavs have looked like the better team for most of this series, even in losing efforts. They never should have lost game 4. This series will get wrapped in 6. Then Denver will beat them in 6
I don't think Denver is in the Finals yet, neither in the conference finals. Let's not write the Wolves off yet…
Luka looks like he's not injured anymore. That's the difference.
So you refuse to discuss Boston /knicks cus they series not over yet you jump all the way to Celtics nuggets in the finals 😭😭😭🤦🏾♂️
As Paul Pierce would say, youre an IG manager😜
Why is nobody talking about the fact that the best 3pt shooting team in the regular season is now shooting 25% from 3? On mostly wide open shots? We can give props to Dallas, sure. But I think there's a discussion to be had on this MAJOR drop off, because Dallas is now saying go ahead and take 3s we do not care
People have to stop giving Connelly credit. Minnesota is good because they had the #1 pick twice and wisely drafted Ant + KAT. Gobert was a gross overpay. He is a disaster against Joker because he can't stop him on defense (they use KAT & Naz against him). He isn't all that great at helping off Gordon. Plus when Rudy is on offense he lets Nikola hang in the paint next to the rim and rest, which Nikola needs in a long series or if he wants to play 40+++ mpg
The Celtics will drag Joker's ass out to the perimeter where he's a pedestrian defender & make him work/expend energy. Look for Boston to use Jrue or Jaylen for short minutes on Joker to get up underneath him (ala Grant Williams prior) and then Horford on Joker for 28mpg. KP should guard Gordon and play help.
Denver v Boston will go 7
KAT/McDaniels for Mitchell
Before this series began I picked OKC, now I've been convinced Dallas is better, and Dallas will win in 7. However, OKC is young enough they could bring the energy needed to win two consecutive elimination games. This series is not over!
