UD knows his stuff for sure.
He’s a veteran after all
UD > Perk
Somebody needs to stop talking in the background though. You can hear it through the audio.
Nope I love perk he excellent
Make UD a regular on NBA Today
Facts!!!!!
Blank will freeze over before KAT and Gobert rise up and take anyone to a Series Win.
😂😂😂 not blank. HFIL
Gobert cant do ish unless he's 2 feet from the basket and the nuggets know this
UD should replace Perk
Clearly. UD is comfortable and comes up with valid point after point...all Perk does is try to say something silly for hits.
Nope I love perk he excellent
I'm so happy the league stepped in since we went 0-2 to make MN chill out on Defense. Offense makes $$ for the league, not D. We want to see Denver win shooting open 3s! And they know that so I'm so happy we're gonna win the series now that MN can't play playoff D anymore. They woulda been really good in the 90s, but this is 2024 no one got time for that
At least Windhorst stays consistent and gives Luka & the Mavs no love.
If Luka was fully healthy this is over in 4 or 5.
Luka is healthy...stop making excuses
@@desotohybrid2175this is not a healthy Luka
Always an excuse ready for Luka
@@DirtyDan21300 and why is that? Lol
@@desotohybrid2175luka for most of playoff career has been averaging about a 30+ point triple double on good efficiency. After several games where westbrick runs into luka’s legs taking him out you’re gonna stay blind and say he hasn’t been injured?
Great series
Wolves drew first blood
Denver countered and showed why they are the champs
Now we wait if which team can finish
Yeah Bye Bye nuggets.
@ndnd7614 how you feeling rn?
@@ColeBresnehen series not over
@@ndnd7614 yes it is 😂
@@ndnd7614bye bye wolves
KAT lost his f$%#ing Mum and played on Mothers Day. Leave this man be. Both teams are playing great and this is a wonderful series.
Good point
Ant lost his mom when he was younger and dropped 40. I understand and respect that and not throwing anything at him, but I kinda thought he would put on a show to honor her.
@@Jevonechy Yeah, you don’t train for a great day. You train for a good day and hope that becomes great or, your good day becomes greater than everyone else. Wdy think god is real or something???💀💀💀
@@Jevonechylost his mom and grandmother in the same year when he was 14.
@discowolf25 with responses like this only makes me believe in God even more and shows me that more people need him more than ever. God bless you sir
Luka and kyrie were horrible, and had the lead for like 95% of the game, but at the same time it felt like okc was always within striking distance the whole time.
What ever happened to playoffs on ESPN radio this year? Hope they bring it again.
UD at the end “perk look like he lost that bet”
Nope I love perk he excellent
We will see tonight if the Wolves made the right adjustments, but Denver is just so in tune with each other when they're focused like they were the past 2 games it's hard to surpise them because everyone knows the counters in the starting 5. Braun is coming along as a great piece, and Holiday is playing phenomenally I'm happy he rested all season while watching how the Nuggets play.
Comes down to if the Nuggets keep making shots, if ANT can handle 45m at altitude, and which role players step up to avoid a loss in game 5.
Anthony Edwards’s putting words in his teammates mouth. Bro is dilluusional
Rudy Gobert, the best defender ever is hilarious
He is. Deal w it.
He was a team-high +9 last game in a 7 point loss. They won the minutes he was on the floor.
Exactly
Rudy Gobert greatest defensive player ever is soo stupid
@@discowolf25Yeah and it showed the last couple games huh?💀
Met UD in-person great guy
Ppl expect Rudy to be a one-man defense team
So we need? Who is we? The brothers?
UD great addition
History has shown that KAT has disappeared when we’ve needed him most, not making smart plays or decisions, if he plays like he did last game, Wolves should consider trading him
Hes a 7 ft James Harden with a stiff back
He needs to make shots as they come to him and just keep his cool. It not impossible, but it’s been a struggle for him at times.
Luka needs to get in tip top shape. This is the same story every year.
He gets an exception… his style of game doesn’t need to have a shredded six pack
Every year? When in playoffs has he been like this?
Bruh ESPN be having "talent" who are reporters and analysts. And they are terrible at both. The morning shows be getting all the good ones.
Antman needs some help for them to even have a chance of a prayer. Denver finally playing like the defending champs with everyone playing their roles to perfection, besides MPJ in Game 4. Expect him to get 20 tonight and long as Denver's bench shows up like they have last two games Nuggets will take Game 5.
Dallas vs. Timberwolves
Western Conference Finals
U mean okc vs twolves or nuggets
Nah Denver is winning. The other series is up in the air
@@crazynweird3547 okc the weakest remaining team in the west fact
@norjihads.4144 what woukd u call the grizz then as many playoff series wins s as tye thunder
I mean Luka injured like this don't have a chance against Nuggets or Timberwolves..
Likely yes, but that's still a formidable back court just from shot making ability. If they get hot any team would have troubles.
Against Nuggets they will struggle but against Wolves? Mavs the better team
Nah mj didn’t need help espn beat writers. You guys are trash media. stop writing the narrative that people need help
MJ literally didn’t win until he got help 😂
So Ant man Crying about someone trash talking him but was doing it to the Phoenix Suns that 4 game series... NBA players are cry babies and pure hypocrites LOL
*most NBA players are crybabies
Some do just handle their business, but it is a rare trait when you're trying to work the refs every game.
Whoever keep saying they shouldn't play Rudy they need to stop the cap... because he is in there to protect the paint and stop the lob from Jokic to Gordon and without him....
Whos gonna protect the paint and stop the Lob threat... obviously KAT and Reid isnt capable of doing neither of that
Can the Denver Coaches get a shout out? Malone should be up for coach of the year if they get over 58 next year.
How Kyrie was horrible when he was playmaking and up by 10 they was saying he turnt into Jason Kidd . He didn’t bring it in the 2nd half but don’t act like he was making a bunch of mistakes and turnovers
UD will be heat next head coach
Nah UD will be a great motivational speaker but hes not taking over Spo
Gobert cant do anything from more than 2 feet out and the nuggets know this and kat is streaky on and off nights and is predictable these dudes are in trouble the only guy that can do stuff every game is ant the nuggets figured these boys out they're winning in 6 or 7
Rudy hobert bein called “probably the best defender ever” is the craziest fuccin take I have EVER HEARD in sports I have never liked nun of this dudes takes
Austin Rivers is the better cooler version of jj reddick. But because jj has the good morning show guy look, jj gets more opportunities😂
Austin River CAN PLAY BASKETBALL. He's not just standing in the corner, letting other players dribble the bball for him.
😂😂😂😂😂Lmao
Ant talking about a fight lol, he don't want no smoke with jamal murray, he'd get tko'd, submitted or probably just 44-50'd
Mavs Vs Nuggets WCF
Got two dudes up there flexing not being able to maintain a C+ average, but who cares. They're rich af ! Point being : do yourself a favor and discover your purpose.
Bro windy has been such a Karen with the mavs “I want to say I’m worried about him but as a compliment to the Thunder” The thunder have been out rebounded, their “coach of the year” did the “hack a lively” with 4 min left of a 4 point game! The thunder have no counter gameplan purely based of personnel against the Mavs, there’s literally no credit to give them besides “okay y’all did the expectable which is focus on kyrie and Luka” so what ? The mavs have defended better, their physicality on the court on both ends has been superior. The story is simple: Luka is not at 100% and the mavs lost themselves the game last night by missing free throws. Where does this give any credit to the thunder ? Their gameplan was about to put them 3-1 if not for a team missing more than half their free throws. How are these people analysts at anything ?
Ant needs to play defense
Austin Rivers looks like Andrew Tate😂😂😂
Pacers beating up the corpse squads😂😂😂😂 This is why the regular season matters. You never know which team will bring their corpse squad to the game.
Knicks are playing only 5 players. 3 of them are dragging oxygen tanks with them on the court😂
Ant gonna need a wemby..
so basically he not the next jordan
UD. A good addition!
Kyrie got to be Batman! Luka got to watch a champ
We may not be the best offensive team but at least we have a good defense defense wins championships ant might be our only offensive player but at the end of the day mfs need to know jmac its still growing he might have a breakout year next year especially after our success this year
Gobert is only a star if he gets like 5 easy open dunks in a game. KAT doesn’t even need to do that much. He just played so bad the past two games, dribbling into double teams, throwing the ball away, zoning out on defense… a real negative contribution. He needs to pass the rock 😂😂 also the role players need to step up if they are going to win. They literally depended on Ant to not get blown out of the game.
Luka and kyrie gotta play off each other! Right now they have nothing to do with each other
All the bandwagons jumped real fast off of the Wolves I noticed 💀
God forbid small markets get some attention
@@BestialxlustThat literally has nothing to do with my post clown
@@757-David U good bro ? Why straight to insults. Hope your life gets better tho
@@Bestialxlust leave a clown reply, get called a clown. It’s not complicated 🤷🏻
Because people are consistently overreacting to single game performances, without an understanding of what schematically is happening on the court.
The t wolves coach has to do a better job with this talented team or find the exit door so that we can replace him with a real man with a gameplan 💯👎😤
Lmao no wolves fan would say that
I bet you lediva fan
Goebert can't do anything offensively!
Best defensive player ever?? What is Rivers on???
The finest of jiggas, no typo
refs are keeping the thunder in this series, lu dort plays a different sport
Sook its called physical defense
I hate Austin Rivers so much, I hate the way he talks, I hate the way he played basketball, I hate that he was a starter on the Nuggets in the 2022 playoffs that everyone points to with Jokic.
4th 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Im a fan of Luka but his horrible playing is inexcuseable. Dude is forcing turnovers and shots for no reason. Kyrie on the other hand has no excuses either. He needs to step up! Mavs looked horrible missing more than half their free throws last night!
Drug test Whinny Rivers!!! Rudy best defensive player ever???
If this was Lebron, media wouldn't care if the role players perform or not, all they would see is Lebron has the defensive player of the year and the best sixth man of the year and Kat who is a star, what more help Lebron needs? that's what media would be saying.
D wade 😂
They some bricks
Golbert .needs to run with the 2nd group.
A healthy Luka is the best player in the world
Ruby Gobert might be the issue
Luka just needs to stfu and play ball
Rudy Gobert he is never going to be a star Timberwolves lost thanks to him can cover Jocick
Aww this is cute ant teammates need to step up…Kobe and MJ didn’t need teammates they did by themselves
Luka lost conference finals with all time ppg in playoffs he's overated ant about to lose 2nd rou d he needs more help! All because he smiles and can dunk
I like Ant-man. Reminds me of Kobe or MJ but I'm annoyed this "No help" narrative. They said nothing about "No Help" when they swept Suns. They decleared "Nuggets Swept" when Wolves won the first 2 games. They said nothing about no help rather praising Kat, Gobert, McDaniel, etc.. They even accused Joker & Murray. They criticezed Nuggets bench. They just can't give enough credit to this Nuggets team. Tired of it. It's been going on for over 10yrs, "LeBron got no help" now it's Edwards got no help?
It’s not that he has no help, just that he didn’t have it in game 4.
Can't wait for all of you media to eat your own words. The disrespect, never shining any light on Denver, always speaking about their opponents, cheering for Denver to actually lose... Hopefully Denver takes the championship and you get to experience a meltdown for having to congratulate them :D
Minnesota is in a similar boat. We’ve been disrespected way longer than Denver. Minnesota only got talked about positively in the media because of sweeping the first round when everyone thought Phoenix was a bad matchup. Then the Wolves go to Denver and take game 1 and then game 2 in dominant fashion. The media likes to ride with whoever is winning, unless it is LeBron and the Lakers, then they just always talk about them. If Minnesota wins, it will be the ascension of Anthony Edwards. If Denver wins, it will be, “what do you expect from a defending champion with the reigning three time MVP?” The hot winning team gets the clicks.
@@ryans4050 exactly! The only person in the media who has been consistent with praise for the wolves is perk. He stands on everything he says. Everyone else throughout the whole year has said MN is not ready or won't make it out the first round. This is the only reason why I want the wolves to win .
Just goes to show u…. All these folks got 82s or lower on all their college papers. U got all A’s and they make way more $ than u…..
