Ah yes, Kevin Pelton, king of rating Mavericks trades as Ds
I will say, the majority of people thought that PJ trade wasn’t that good.
@@colinmccarthy8764he said Kyrie was a horrible trade as well. Just a terrible evaluator in general
And he is the direction the league went in with analytics 😂😂😂
@@Fast___Breakpretty sure he evaluates trades from his mom’s basement
@@colinmccarthy8764 he shares his opinions on a podcast. I expect more precision in his opinions...not just a collection of biases and wishful thinking
Zach Lowe. The goat!
it'd be nice if these dudes would admit that they talked about the nuggets like they were the 3x defending champs instead of a 1x champ
Man shut up.
Jokic glazing can.only be compared with Antman glazing
On god 💯🤣
@@Edd-zd5wbnaw player ANT don’t even get praised like that
@@WhyYouMadd40 You prob right. Also he wasnt gifted mvps yet
Biggest surprise of the playoffs so far has been the Denver Nuggets elimination, kudos to the Timberwolves for their play.
I love what Burks did for the Knicks after Game 3, a true pro. But acting like it was malpractice that Thibs didn't give him minutes at any point before then is total recency bias. He was objectively atrocious when he first arrived from Detroit, to the point that he was actively hurting them in games & so Thibs justifiably took him out of the rotation.
I’m here for the giving the trophy to crunch bit 😂
"If healthy who's REALLY the best team?" Please. The BEST teams are playing because health is part of how you finish a season. I Guess the Pacers were supposed to forfeit the series to help the Knicks out. Nobody was saying this in 2021. (Look up the playoffs injury report - almost every superstar was injured. Giannis' team won, so media was happy. They had their "star".)
Are serious? They still talk about Nets injuries and Kds foot. Why go at Giannis by the way when fat boy just won a ring against 4 injured teams
I think the play in should be apart of the playoffs history
Agreed, they need to figure something out but just having the stats burn into the ether is idiotic
NBA is changing from offensive superstars to main defensive guys. U need at least 3 great def players, otherwise u have no chance
Best NBA podcast
Barely a year ago everyone on ESPN called the West the weaker conference... Let me go sip some tea
lol Pelton got like 12 words in the first 15 minutes
That series could be played 10 times & OKC would do well to win one of them. If you watched the games, Mavs were always having an easier time. Even game 4 where they lost. The only stretch where OKC looked comfortable was the first half of game 6.
Nice got an ad of nuggets players in Cancun already
Listening to this on audio. I didn't even realize that there was someone other than Lowe on the pod today. Love you guy but you talk so much.
I love Zach but bro loves to go on tangents
That was the longest introduction to a podcast I've ever heard. It was actually so longwinded and meandering that it was hard to follow. It's a podcast/conversation - not an article, Zach. Do better.
@@basedleechaoblathey are fun most the time but it gets out of hand LOL
It’s his podcast, he should talk the most. He is not interviewing.
@@DrPhill96 There's a difference between talking and rambling for 6 minutes. He literally talked for 6 minutes straight to INTRODUCE the podcast. Go to the Hoop Collective, Pardon My Take, JJ Redick's podcast, or literally any podcast on the face of the earth and you'll never hear someone talk for six minutes straight when they have a guest. That's not a podcast - that's verbal vomit.
It’s always mavs in 6
I’ve never seen Zach look so disheveled 😂🤣😂 AntMan got these boys struggling 😂😂
Another great white hope knocked off
Zack Lowe’s podcast pic will never be not funny 😂
This is the first time I thought about the Porter piece of this He gets paid like a number two but his role is that of a number three or four. TBH we don't know if you could be a two or not because he's never had to be so I don't even know what his value is
EXCUSES...MURRAY PLAYED STOP IT
Actually Kessler has been goid
It takes about a second to find out why burks did not get in the rotation. He was terrible for 2 months with an injury.
Mavs need to get the young guys involved in this match up. Green, Hardy Williams, Brown III And Maxence Prosper.
Good luck to those young guys. WCF vs a great defense is a tough spot for a young, borderline rotation guy, to shine. I'm a wolves fan who keeps my projections sober (as pretty much all long time wolves do)-- this is about Luka and Kyrie and maybe two other guys elevating beyond what they did vs OKC. I am not saying that the Wolves win, Dallas is legit, but these wolves are a bit of an avalanche rolling down the mountain after figuring out Denver at this time.
Wolves in 5. Luka's injury is a death sentence.
Stop the Luka injury excuse
Well Jaden Williams isn't Luka, Lowe.
Wolves in 5
Mav beat OKC, but the talk is all about OKC... Even if the Mavs beat the Celtics in the finals, in your next show you will be lamenting the Celtics loss... OKC lost because they were the weaker team...
Yep wolves sweep suns and beat defending Champs yet its never about the wolves
everyone talks about the losers more cause their seasons over and mavs are still playing if the mavs lose next series they’ll be the talked about more
Congratulations on beating a team with 0 playoff experience. Mavs fans really want recognition for that 😂
@@bossaudio12 Bruh they are literally talking about the Wolves. Cmon we don't need that victim mentality, Wolves are getting the flowers. Pelton even said the conversation should be more about the Wolves.
🧢 cuz you mentioned the Celtics.
Celtics lose = they suck
Celtics win = they suck
Other teams win or lose = celtics suck.
But hey at least the Cone got 3 mvps. Should be 4 in a row, 5 next year. Hey give him 10 in a row. That plus.minus is amazing.
Pfft. Taking Embiid over Giannis? It's understandable to not have them the second best team, but Giannis is the best player in the east, full stop.
Well. Too many wasted seasons..oh wait embiid gets injured every year
Nah bro. Embiid is better than Giannis. Now they both glorified injured players but that's just is what it is.
@@rabeechowdhury Giannis and is not even close
@@Edd-zd5wbhit your ft's lol
@@lolpredictions Lol. 17 of 19 for 50 pts and a ring.
What does Embiid have other than Perkins mvp?
With mostly 5 fouls too
Denver did not have bench their starting five played most of regular season games and won ring last year it was obvious that they wher gased almost every game this run even if they pass Wolves they will surely loose vs Mavs...that was obvious....all blame should be on coaches and front office of Denver....at the same tima Wolves had 2 all stars best 6th man and awesome supporting cast and is obvious this team is made to win vs Nuggs thx to Connely...so i would like for Wolves to take ring this year cause they have simmiliar path like Denver have winning the right way with little trades
Embiid still getting massively glazed by these guys is so ridiculous. They say oh he's the best player in the east and 76ers are the next best team if everyone is healthy. Well newsflash for you guy's, embiid is literally always hurt during the playoffs. Dude has never got out of the second round. But hes some goat apparently. Meanwhile Giannis and the bucks get 0 benefit of the doubt with their injuries and odd season in general.
Did this dude say that tatum or brown guarding siakam means they are giving up size? 😂
And hes right. Siakam is stronger than both. Isnt he?
@@Edd-zd5wbthan brown, potentially, but not Tatum, not even close.
@@Gabbagool345 you prob right and Siakam Tatum are equal size.
@@Gabbagool345 But if you think Tatum is stronger you are kidding yourself
Jokic under performed
MVP curse??
Burks wasn't good at first
Pelton is wrong about Luka and Kyrie playing together against Minnesota only once and that they win that game. Wolves shut those guys down and won. EMBARRASSING
Kat going to smoke PJ😩
Mavs have nobody to even try to hold up. If he shots well, Mavs have no chance
Idk why y’all called the nuggets a dynasty 😂😂 jokic was only the best player in the world for 1yr last year
Mavs in 4
😂😂😂
its not that deep. no defending champ hasnt made it past the 2nd round the following season for the past five years.
Zachary Lowe talks way too much. Give your co a chance!
The number 7 also represents more field goals than Ant made in Game 7. Lucky he got bailed out.
lol wins a win. Cope
Like when Kobe went 6-24 in game 7 of the 2010 finals and won MVP?
@@nickwilson7241 exactly correct in that that was another team effort, although at least Kobe rebounded well.
Gasol was probably the key man in that game, and arguably series. Had 9 offensive boards and played great defence. Artest and Fisher their most efficient scorers weirdly enough. And that's without even mentioning the usual Lakers home cooking from the refs.
But, with time, people forget these details and default to the lazy narrative.
@@h98986Edwards had 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and played amazing defense. He played great throughout the series and he's only 22 lmao
@@nickwilson7241 yeah, his rebounding and playmaking was decrnt. All other starters minus McDaniels equalled or matched his boards. The team defence was incredible and he played a role in that, although let's not act like he anchored that either. Kat and Rudy did that.
The key takeaway is that he absolutely had a A+ series for a 22 year old. No doubt about. 27, 5 and 5 on great efficiency with good defence. But let's not act like thjs Game 7 was some coming-of-age next MJ moment. Cos it wasn't. His teammates bailed him out.
His great white hope has fallen.
You see that huh 😂😂
You can have the Ant-man, the French man, and the home court fans. Mavs in 6.
