We’re not doing that. JB was a 5-star recruit. All he needed to do was improve his left and his J. Always been underrated. Credit his own hard work far above anything else. Overall impact, both JT and JB are the two best in this series. Boston is much better than Dallas. Kyrie needs to tighten up on defense. Can’t give him a free pass although I love him and believe he should take 20+ shots per game. LUKA is another Harden or LeBron -carry/travel/wine/hero ball.
Big facts. I especially like when Luka lowered his head like a running back and charged like it was first and goal in a football game and D White (i think) gets called for the reach in... Luka needs his head checked
True, but it’s also a different pressure when you’re on a team that is solely dependent on you. If Tatum plays average and doesn’t get calls Celtics can still win by 15. If Luka plays average and doesn’t get calls they are getting blown out.
Luka grabbed JB jersey while going to the ground on his 5th foul btw, and for him to complain about not being able to be physical while tatum was getting hacked almost every drive and the celtics had 2 more fouls called on them while both teams were really physical is hilarious to me
Tatum fr been hacked all series, i can see why hes not driving to the basket withour kicking out cause they just aint giving him any calls, some of his layups are on him for missing but the no calls on specifically Tatum are a little our of hand
I think he forgets he’s in the NBA in the Finals. He expects the refs and the other team to just lay down and give him a red carpet to the basket on every play. It’s like he still thinks he’s a kid back in Slovakia, or wherever he comes from. The way he whines to the ref every play instead of getting back on defense shows all the maturity of a 9-year-old.
@@Corey41929 at least harden was efficient at foul bating. This guy sees it’s not working on the first 6-7 possessions. It’s the 4th quarter and he’s still doing the same thing.
Just an fyi also, Luka fouled out game 3, had 8 turnovers in game 2. Mavs could have won both games if he plays better. If it was Russ or Bron, people would be sending them death threats.
I straight-up watched Luka quit on the Mavs last night. He put his head down when Kyrie tried to pass him the ball in the 4th, and when he tried to switch and ran into Jaylen, Jru, and then Derek White, he turned into a cheerleader, and he was pushing off all night; he earned them fouls.

According to Luka, not only has he been fouled on every shot he’s ever taken, but he’s never committed a foul himself. His flopping and whining after every play gets old quickly.
This is really ugly to see. But at least he is getting called out for it. Unlike one other now almost 40y old superstar who has been doing the same for most of his career and still weaseling his way into goat conversations. I hope he gets rid of that bad influence and becomes better than that.

Luka needs to grow up and stop complaining first of all he can't even defend anyone I'm surprised how they even got to the finals Boston Celtics is showing all their weaknesses in this final and especially on luka who can't even defend nothing .
😂😂😂the way he’s dunking on people in the finals is kind of crazy! Just blowing passed everyone too 😂. Love my team! Been in Boston since 92 and this is the best Celtics team by far! They dominated and ran through everyone with ease!
Luka is no different than James Harden. You cannot win in the Finals with Iso ball and constantly getting cooked on defense. The exact moment I knew it was a wrap for Dallas was when Pritchard scored a wide open 3 because he was the guy left open after Luka fell and was campaigning for a call. Luka's attitude bothers me so much.
Luka's body type and shape is fine as long as he's bulling over defenders..but if he was in better shape he would be able to keep up and not get cooked by any and everybody he can't defend anyone 1-5..not the best
At the end Lula was literally daring the officials to make a foul call. He spends entire.games complaining to officials. I think the officials finally were sick of it.
I hope Luka learns from this cause he is a fantastic player but he needs to be better defensively and he needs to stop complaining every second. Dallas is done tho
I really wish commentators would stop calling really good offensive players the best in the world. Gotta get it done on both ends of the floor to get that label.
To say that Luka is the best player in the world, implies that he is a complete player. He's just not. The dude plays only one side of the ball. He's an overhyped, walking disappointment.
Kyrie and Luka are facing a team with 5 possible hall of farmers Tatum Brown Kris And AL Jure deserve to get in as well . Luka And Kyire facing a super team I understand if Dallas lose this finals.
Maybe but Dallas wouldn't even be here or relevant without him. They are playing with house money since they exceeded expectations this year. It works both ways.
I been saying for yrs that Luka's defense is straight garbage. He even really inconsistent on offense...he just has a ridiculous usage rate which masks his shooting. To many times I've seen him go 1-9 on 3pt. Best in the league my azz
Fantastic Take! Andraya called it out Get Up have the right mindset for basketball critique. This is why Defense wins championships is proven. If this was 2k, Lukas grade score would’ve been a D at most C- Jaylen Brown MVP. Coach Joe Mazzulla doing pristine this year holding best record with multiple appearances.
Luka need someone like Pat Riley or Coach Popp, need to figure out how to complain less and should tf tell him that’s not going to work! It doesn’t he is the franchise star, someone need to talk to asap
on that possession when Tatum caught the ball in the paint in the 4th kyrie’s back is turned & I can’t understand why he is guarding Tatum & not jrue in the corner
I can’t stand people who really try to lie that Luca wasn’t fowling. He was Fallon Brown point blank and the referee needed to call it. Stop showing favoritism towards Luca.
J Will Crazy by saying that first one wasn't a foul. How is Jaylen supposed to move if Luka is holding him with his arm? Second one we dont even have to discuss it, great awareness by Jaylen to attack Luka in transition with 5 fouls on him.
Best offensive player but having difficulty offensively against brown and the celtics. That's not what it looks like. Say that if he finally cooked the best celtics' defense in the most needed times. #NBA #espn
They’re so right! Im not even a Luka fan but I hope this will be a learning experience for him so that he can be even greater. The way he just flops around (look at 11:57 the way he drops to the ground to get a foul) it’s just ridiculous. Come on Luka. You’re a great player…rely on your talent and improve your defense. You have potential to be the GOAT
Everytime I tried to tell a casual Tatum was better than doncic because he's 1000x better on defense, all I hear about is how defense doesn't matter... Great offense will always beat great defense... Well guess what.... YOU WERE VERY, VEEEERY WRONG
These people act like even if Luka didn’t get fouled out, the outcome would have been different. Celtics showed just a glimpse of what they capable of in the 3rd quarter. This would have been a blowout if Celtics didn’t revert back to their old habits.
Well the fact is, they let the mavs back in, so no blowout was going to happen lol. If Luka was playing those last 4 minutes, who knows what could have happened? Luka and Kyrie have been clutch this whole playoffs, so its definitely worth talking about
@@tswami3959 well “if” it’s not a fact. We’ve seen enough of Luka in this series to pretend like Celtics are not winning regardless. And that’s a fact. Yeah last year, the Celtics would have lost this game, that’s how they were “extending” series. Not this year. They can get lapses, but them winning this year, the league is in trouble.
~ Sorry You guys have it backwards. The 5th foul (the Arm-Bar) is the foul and the sixth was "Bang-Bang". Luka's EURO-CHEEKY-NESS, Immaturity, lack of Discipline, and PRIVILEGE will prevent Him from being any better than He is. ~
How can you be considered the best BB player in the world when you have zero D 😆Luka is a one dimensional hooper. Can't compare him to the best 2 way players in the league.
You totally forgot Lebron aka LeComplain. I have seen several clips of him complaining to the ref instead of running back on defense which led to the other team getting points.
I’m just glad the media is FINALLY holding Luka accountable, the dude has ALWAYS been HORRIBLE defensively but the new age fans and media have tricked people into thinking the game is ALL about scoring and offense like no NO GREAT PLAYER has been this horrible defensively.
Luka needs to no joke establish a daily meditation routine. If that dude could keep his head and stay calm through a full game, he’d be even more of a monster
Jaylen Brown went from being roasted for not being able to dribble left to potentially being named Finals MVP. Them workouts with T-Mac paying off.
He's definitely the MVP
Cool hes on a super team. Hes good but never top 15 current and cant go left

@@zacharyminor9593and who he is isn't enough.
Draya cooked on this.
I really wish commentators would stop calling really good offensive players the best in the world. Gotta get it done on both ends of the floor to get that label.
True statement.
You know ball.
Where all the ‘Easy work for the Mavs this series” people at?!? Lmao
Andraya with the perfect analysis. All those silly fouls at the start cost Luka.
Good morning, JT & JB gotta get Luka ready for school this morning 🤣😂🍀
Woman in the orange blazer broke those luka fouls down perfectly. A lot of dumb & lazy decisions then he's pissed about it😂.
To say that Luka is the best player in the world, implies that he is a complete player. He's just not. The dude plays only one side of the ball. He's an overhyped, walking disappointment.
Kyrie and Luka are facing a team with 5 possible hall of farmers Tatum Brown Kris And AL Jure deserve to get in as well . Luka And Kyire facing a super team I understand if Dallas lose this finals.
Maybe but Dallas wouldn't even be here or relevant without him. They are playing with house money since they exceeded expectations this year. It works both ways.
Luka is so terrible to watch. Buddy just pushes off & cries all game long.
8:53 say what now????? 😂😂😂😂
You can say that on TV??
😂😂😂😂
They just glossed over that 🤣🤣
Fr tho it was so casual for them I forgot about that until now
Bitching is not offensive work😂
What’s The Problem ? It’s FACTS💯😂
Defensive liability and undisciplined in the biggest moments.
Dude is a genuine talent. But he needs to be able to put it together.
I been saying for yrs that Luka's defense is straight garbage. He even really inconsistent on offense...he just has a ridiculous usage rate which masks his shooting. To many times I've seen him go 1-9 on 3pt. Best in the league my azz
He James Harden
It's crazy how ordinary he becomes when forced to play defense.
Any “greatest” player needs to be judged in basketball terms, where you have to play offense AND defense. This ain’t football where you only play one.
He was not drafted on defense . But he can learn it.
Fantastic Take! Andraya called it out Get Up have the right mindset for basketball critique. This is why Defense wins championships is proven. If this was 2k, Lukas grade score would’ve been a D at most C-
Jaylen Brown MVP. Coach Joe Mazzulla doing pristine this year holding best record with multiple appearances.
Luka need someone like Pat Riley or Coach Popp, need to figure out how to complain less and should tf tell him that’s not going to work!
It doesn’t he is the franchise star, someone need to talk to asap
I agree, Luka needs some plyo and conditioning to help him slide those feet.
Cry me a river Luka, it was a charge. Good call
on that possession when Tatum caught the ball in the paint in the 4th kyrie’s back is turned & I can’t understand why he is guarding Tatum & not jrue in the corner
I was gon comment bout Draya's breakdown of Luka's fouling, but I see that everyone else already has 😂 Salute to Draya 🫡
Luka is another version of James Harden, plan & simple.
Carter's analysis here was very good. They should bring her back.
This woman knows what she’s talking about.
Fatka Dontits is more worried about gorging on triple cheeseburgers and 40 ounce steaks than playing defense.
😅
I can’t stand people who really try to lie that Luca wasn’t fowling. He was Fallon Brown point blank and the referee needed to call it. Stop showing favoritism towards Luca.
It’s time to accept that Luka is a better James Harden.
The problem with Luka is that he’s slow, plays no defense and he holds the ball to much
Luka was recently crowned greatest player in the world by ESPN in their weekly, weathervane, greatest player in the world award ceremony.
J Will Crazy by saying that first one wasn't a foul. How is Jaylen supposed to move if Luka is holding him with his arm? Second one we dont even have to discuss it, great awareness by Jaylen to attack Luka in transition with 5 fouls on him.
Best offensive player but having difficulty offensively against brown and the celtics. That's not what it looks like. Say that if he finally cooked the best celtics' defense in the most needed times. #NBA #espn
They’re so right! Im not even a Luka fan but I hope this will be a learning experience for him so that he can be even greater.
The way he just flops around (look at 11:57 the way he drops to the ground to get a foul) it’s just ridiculous. Come on Luka. You’re a great player…rely on your talent and improve your defense. You have potential to be the GOAT
Everytime I tried to tell a casual Tatum was better than doncic because he's 1000x better on defense, all I hear about is how defense doesn't matter...
Great offense will always beat great defense...
Well guess what.... YOU WERE VERY, VEEEERY WRONG
How come Luka isn’t yelling and screaming after making step back 3s anymore ?? 🙁🙁🙁
These people act like even if Luka didn’t get fouled out, the outcome would have been different. Celtics showed just a glimpse of what they capable of in the 3rd quarter. This would have been a blowout if Celtics didn’t revert back to their old habits.
Well the fact is, they let the mavs back in, so no blowout was going to happen lol. If Luka was playing those last 4 minutes, who knows what could have happened? Luka and Kyrie have been clutch this whole playoffs, so its definitely worth talking about
@@tswami3959 well “if” it’s not a fact. We’ve seen enough of Luka in this series to pretend like Celtics are not winning regardless. And that’s a fact. Yeah last year, the Celtics would have lost this game, that’s how they were “extending” series. Not this year. They can get lapses, but them winning this year, the league is in trouble.
Credit Jaylen Brown, the MVP of the series, for taking the ball right to Luka. "Luka, Jaylen is your Father."
8:53 that’s podcast language sir 😂😂😂😂
Was surprised they didn’t bleep him
Facts lol
Lol I enjoyed that lil surprise they left in there, had to rewind to make sure
Bitching is not offensive work😂
I Loved It , He’s Speaking FACTS💯
~ Sorry You guys have it backwards. The 5th foul (the Arm-Bar) is the foul and the sixth was "Bang-Bang". Luka's EURO-CHEEKY-NESS, Immaturity, lack of Discipline, and PRIVILEGE will prevent Him from being any better than He is. ~
Luka was finally forced to play defense and everybody is realizing that he sucks at it
He’s been playing great defense in the playoffs and decent defense all year but go off because “eye test”
Totally agree. If you were watching the game, JB's shot in the iso was the biggest shot of the game.
I'm not listening to people who won't recognize CC, sorry
for someone who is supposed to be so good he comes off as a whiny child! who would rather complain than play.
0:52 perfect example of Luka defense…
How can you be considered the best BB player in the world when you have zero D 😆Luka is a one dimensional hooper. Can't compare him to the best 2 way players in the league.
Majority of these analysts picked the Mav’s😂😂😂😂
Are we going to conveniently leave out he's playing on 2 sprained knees and a chest contusion? Do you expect him to be Scottie Pippen or something?
Jaylen brown mvp better than fluka no need to get 30 shoot to get 30 point like luka
Well said
You can’t be the best player in the world and play NO DEFENSE!
Show Luka literally tackling jaylen brown at half court lol
Right . 😂
Everyone complains to the refs, Luka is the only one who stops playing to complain to the refs
I disagree, LeBron does the same thing.
You totally forgot Lebron aka LeComplain. I have seen several clips of him complaining to the ref instead of running back on defense which led to the other team getting points.
I’m just glad the media is FINALLY holding Luka accountable, the dude has ALWAYS been HORRIBLE defensively but the new age fans and media have tricked people into thinking the game is ALL about scoring and offense like no NO GREAT PLAYER has been this horrible defensively.
Luka needs to no joke establish a daily meditation routine. If that dude could keep his head and stay calm through a full game, he’d be even more of a monster
