And it's funny because Boston shooting that horribly from 3 isn't the norm. Like what if the Celtics shot better than 30% from 3. But skip don't want to hear that.
It’s because 95% of the media picked Dallas to win. So now the finals has proven that they know nothing about basketball and never did. It hurts their value big time. Maybe they should have realized the Indiana Pacers are a very good team and would probably beat Dallas too, because they play fast. That’s why they scored on Boston. Dallas plays slow. That’s why Ryan Anderson was able to score on them easily lol.
That was always some crazy talk. Magic + Kareem? Bird + Cornbread? Bron + D Wade? Shaq + Kobe? Manu + Duncan? Russell + Havlicek? Moses Malone + Dr J? Hakeem + Drexler? Mailman + Stockton? Pippen + MJ? Bron + Kyrie? Even healthy Giannis + healthy Middleton is better than Luka and Kyrie. Mavs had a schedule in regular season that was soft and tailor made for them. Clippers had the most back to backs with the longest travel. Adam Silver doesn't get along with owners who we not Epstien's Clients. Robert Kraft's Epstein Island buddy Adam Silver.
@@abderrahmanezerik7081 If we're talking backcourt duos, I have lists. But Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday already proved they are better than Luka and Kyrie.

Pritchard caught the weirdest stray from Skip. Dude has been a dog all year long, plays super hard, tries on all ends of the court, and shot 39% on almost 5 3s a game. What is wrong with Skip here?
A couple years ago, the Celtics struggled through the East and had a bunch of people banged up. They didn’t get a pass against the Warriors and still get shat on for it. Suddenly this year the Celtics DON’T struggle in the East and have a mostly healthy team and they get shat on for having too easy of a trip to the finals. And Luka gets a bunch of excuses “oh waaah he’s banged up.” But hey, at least the Mavs are battle tested.

Boston didn't cakewalk anything, they have been getting tested and refined the whole playoffs. It's not Celtics fault the other teams wanted to avoid embarrassment and sit their best players or create fake injuries to sit out playoffs they would have got embarrassed in.

What's interesting is when Dallas scores low percentages, especially on threes it's because of Boston's outstanding defense, but when Boston scores even lower percentages in general and a little less bad on threes than Dallas then they don't attribute it to Dallas' good defense, but change the logic and say the Celtics won despite Bad shooting day, imagine what would happen if they shot better. Undoubtedly, these are arguments that cannot be won. My take on this series so far is that there is a learning curve here for Dallas, who on paper is a less talented team. In the first game Dallas made one run which put it behind by eight. It wasn't enough and the Celtics recovered. The second game was already much closer, far from a small number of turnovers, missed free throws and at least one wrong whistle from Dallas' victory. All in all, a 2:0 result for Boston at home is not unexpected and any other result would have been considered quite surprising to the point of sensational. I assume the Mavericks' learning curve will continue and that their role players, according to conventional wisdom, will play better at home and Kyrie plays closer to his average. That might be enough for two wins for Dallas at home. Then the series is wide open. Game 5 will be dangerous for the Celtics and if we get to Game 7, I think the odds are in favor of the Mavericks. No one wants to face Luka in Game 7 and even more so if Kyrie recovers.
Skip just can't admit that he was completely wrong about the Celtics and has to create false narratives about "begging to give it away at home" and "APB on Jason Tatum". This is why Skip can't be taken seriously about anything he says. He's soo lucky Paul Pierce agreed to do this show otherwise it would be straight trash
@@pauljoshuaportillo901 i’m a heat fan so boston had to show me if i’m being honest, a lot of the stuff appeared to be a bit of front running. now that there’s 0 denying it i can laugh more and roll my eyes less at pierce lol
Last year we had Miami, even bigger overperformers, in the Finals. Whereas they really played all the tough ones in the East, while Mavs avoided the only serious contender in the West.
Nuggets should be ashamed. Let down Joker big time. Only the Nuggets could truly test the Celtics and the supporting cast totally choked Tho Jokic's defence was exposed no doubt so I shouldn't fully give him a pass
@@theotherphoneplease598now all of a sudden the nuggets was the biggest contender in the west and the mavs avoided em lol the nuggets wasn’t a threat they couldn’t even get past the wolves a team the mavs ran through in 5 games
I dislike how the media hates on Tatum. It’s ridiculous. Scoring is not the only way to impact the game. He’s being double and tripled. Believe me, that man can score if he wants to.
I've been a Tatum hater. He just needs more experience what to do in the first 3 seconds he has the ball. He looks like he's nervous / adrenaline in control more than his thought process. Before committing to a dribble, try ball fake pass or shooting motion. Give the ball up immediately earlier in the game instead of for the assist, but to get spacing on offense, move without the ball in planned plays. He's a skilled player who could become their best player. He's probably their 4th best player, sometimes 5th best because of mental mistakes in big games. Once he looks at some Manu Ginobili and Scottie Pippen moves and habits, he could easily become #1 at Boston. Or elsewhere. He's young. Boston is mostly young. If they do pull off the championship against Adam Silver's meddling, they will attract more specialist coaches to basically reinforce what Joe probably already telling Jason. Like Jaylen Brown telling Jason to play through the mistakes, have a short term memory. But you have to replace bad plays with good plays. Jason is struggling. And they are still winning. If Adam Silver's refs start meddling, Jason has to come around or probably become #6 until next season. Championship is all that matters right now. Not stats not who's being used in TV ads.
@@Jay-is5efYou would think given Luka is the worst Defensive player in history and since they are targeting him every play, their offensive numbers should be up. But they’re not.
Nah it's more if keys input, he has been dead wrong about the mavs, he choose, clippers, okc, and wolves to beat us, and was wrong and never owned up, now that Boston is winning, he think he knows what he sayin.. now Paul is different, he been right about his opinions... but yea, Boston is showing up and dallas isn't, and I'm a mavs fan
Mavs looked whipped mentally… there is a difference in believing you can win and HOPING you can win the difference is Boston believes they don’t panic they stay the course when you hoping you can win you panic and look for bailouts smh
Skip just can't help that another Dallas team has been overrated going into a playoff series. He can't accept that Boston is just a better TEAM. So many excuses and other nonsense.
tatum has had a better series than luka.....luka stats: 60-20-11 12TOs....tatum: 34-20-17 9T....meanwhile luka has played near zero D while tatum has SHUTDOWN THE FIVE.....THE FIVE!!! WITH 20 BOARDS TO SHOW FOR IT....tatum doubled luka in man
The momentum of the game Mavs went from 5 points down up to 10-12 down brought it to 5 back down to 10 down to 5 back to 10. Celtics played C+ offensively and that 2nd half helped. Celtics are a better team
Prime Ginobili Spurs and Prime Hakeem Rockets beats every great team, these Mavs and Celtics included. Not taking anything away from these Celtics. They are just beginning. There's no reason Derrick White can't become Manu Ginobili. Al Horford is getting up in age, but he's playing young and could easily play 2+ years at a high level it sure appears.
Skip, as usual, has an absolutely atrocious take based on opinions and very specific stats. Plus he just likes picking on the Celtics because he knows they are absolutely dominant over the Mavs and Luka/Kyrie, who he dickrides all the time.
I’ve said it since the beginning, Dallas had the luxury of beating up on young green teams that weren’t experienced. Boston has been there and they’re battle tested. Dallas is in trouble
You can’t call it a luxury. OKC, Minnesota are no luxury team to meet lol. Minnesota smashed out the defending champs… But ofc Boston is on a different lvl with their depth. And If Kyrie continues to be a no-show Well Then Celtics gonna sweep…
I wouldn’t even say cause they were young. Dallas just matched up with those teams better. They could pack the paint against those teams. Luka and Kyrie were able to rest more on defense as well cause Okc and Wolves only had one major offensive threat. I honestly think they would’ve lost to the clippers if Kawhi was healthy.
The mavs beat the 1,2 and 4 seed in the west lol they was a 5th seed and nobody picked them to be in the finals why all of a sudden yall act like they was these big world beaters that we thought was gonna make it that far lol the celtics on the other hand beat young teams who was riddled with injuries that wasn’t good anyway the mavs is the only team with 50+ wins that they faced
Luka's olay defense and overall just quitting defensively doesn't get talked about enough. He could serve to lose 15-20 lbs. as well. Y'all gave Zion a hard time, but giving Luka a pass, and I like Luka. He's a superstar, but no passes over here.
@@gregdahlen4375 Let me give you an example. A bull fighter holds a red flag. The bull rushes him and the bullfighter removes the flag ushering him to the side as Luka does vs Jaylen and Jason's drives to the basket.
I look for Tatum to go off on one of these games it may not seem it . But there's pressure on him in Boston right now , It's not fair but he's gotta meet up to everyone's expectations , Once they win a championship it all should go away hopefully . But he's gonna go off in Dallas I suspect .lol
You can definitely tell Jason wasn't able to manage his adrenaline. Joe was patient letting him try to play through it. Mavs unable to beat Boston with Jason so out of synch is bad news for Mavs. Even Jaylen Brown had a moderately good - not great - game. Kristaps in game 2 was good, not great like game 1. Mavs had help from the refs a tad. Not much but more than the Celtics. Mavs will need significant help from refs to get even one game.
Paul isn't wrong. It might sound crazy and I'm not saying they are, but when you look at the record and stats, this Celtics team could definitely be considered a top 5 team
Kyrie, Luka needs you wake up! I'm seeing Luka create something out of nothing in every play. He got 30 every game. The problem is even if Brown and Tatum play average. Their entire starting 5 can get 25 on any given night while playing defense. They got 6 of the 7 best players in this series. Dallas supporting cast playing horrible.
@@ricardodasilva6708Luka is part of the reason they are losing too. He looks tired and gassed, especially on defense and he's turning the ball over.💯
Celtics been locking down Kyrie for legit years now but everyone was STILL going with Mavs Skip, SAS, Udonis Haslem, Legler, Broussard and Nick Wright ALL took Mavs knowing Kyrie gets stomped vs. Cs and the Cs won 7 straight vs. Luka/Mavs including one this year post trade deadline (Cs blowout win). Oh but let me guess, this is a new Mavs team with DJJ, PJ Washington, Gafford and a rookie...
Luka choked ...He was a no show in the 4th quarter once again but yet he's the best player in the league....Tatum plays WE ball while Luka plays ME ball .
Tatum has 3 people playing better than him he has help. Don’t hide his bad shooting for we ball. But definitely his rebounding and assist are helping. Luka don’t have that luxury of having all that depth. To me Luka and Tatum are both doing what they doing.
Somehow, no one talks about Luka being a turnover machine and defense of liability. All Boston does is attack him and force everyone else to help out, which breaks down the defense.😂😂 he can drop 50 but then give up 50 on defense!
Luka is stratospheres better than Tatum will ever be, JB badly outplayed him vs gs in 2022 and now Jrue, Jb , and porzignas doing the same, Tatum hasn’t even cracked 20pts this finals yet, but he’s y’all mvp? Shi sad😭
@@amadoudath1021 Turnover machine bc Luka has way more responsibility than everyone else on the court, he got to manage the floor, find open players just for them to brick, kyrie been terrible, and Lukas been banged up since okc series, plus Luka leads the playoffs in steals
I need to apologize to Jayson. All this time I thought he was a light skin Paul George. This whole time he is a light skin Draymond Green. He does everything well but shoot.
Something I’ve really noticed with Jrue; while Smart last year just waited for the deep 3 to hoist up and flopped around on D, Jrue looks for the smartest play. He sees Tatum being doubled and a lane open up, so instead of stepping back for a bad shot he takes the open lane for an easy layup. It’s the little things that make SUCH a big difference. When shots aren’t dropping and their not making plays, Jrue says “ok, lemme just back down this 6’9 dude for a quick 2”
16:18 Luka was not moving his feet on defense. He stood in one spot the whole game and let his man go by him every time and expects his front court to makeup for his own lack of defense.

My take on this series so far is that there is a learning curve here for Dallas, who on paper is a less talented team. In the first game Dallas made one run which put it behind by eight. It wasn't enough and the Celtics recovered.
The second game was already much closer, far from a small number of turnovers, missed free throws and at least one wrong whistle from Dallas' victory.
All in all, a 2:0 result for Boston at home is not unexpected and any other result would have been considered quite surprising to the point of sensational.
I assume the Mavericks' learning curve will continue and that their role players, according to conventional wisdom, will play better at home and Kyrie plays closer to his average. That might be enough for two wins for Dallas at home. Then the series is wide open.
Game 5 will be dangerous for the Celtics and if we get to Game 7, I think the odds are in favor of the Mavericks. No one wants to face Luka in Game 7 and even more so if Kyrie recovers.
they give Luka the credit when they win and Kyrie the blame when they lose...they wouldn't even be playing now if it wasn't for Kyrie
Skip just can't admit that he was completely wrong about the Celtics and has to create false narratives about "begging to give it away at home" and "APB on Jason Tatum". This is why Skip can't be taken seriously about anything he says. He's soo lucky Paul Pierce agreed to do this show otherwise it would be straight trash
Skip has learned nothing after all these years when Mark Cuban came on to roast his “analysis”.
Yea, he hates to admit when he is wrong which is often but boy does he toot when he is right.....😂
It makes for an actual show though.
dallas will win

The west should be ashamed they let this team get to the finals, they are a two man team.
Last year we had Miami, even bigger overperformers, in the Finals. Whereas they really played all the tough ones in the East, while Mavs avoided the only serious contender in the West.
1 man team by the looks of it
Nuggets should be ashamed. Let down Joker big time. Only the Nuggets could truly test the Celtics and the supporting cast totally choked
Tho Jokic's defence was exposed no doubt so I shouldn't fully give him a pass

I dislike how the media hates on Tatum. It’s ridiculous. Scoring is not the only way to impact the game. He’s being double and tripled. Believe me, that man can score if he wants to.
I've been a Tatum hater. He just needs more experience what to do in the first 3 seconds he has the ball. He looks like he's nervous / adrenaline in control more than his thought process. Before committing to a dribble, try ball fake pass or shooting motion. Give the ball up immediately earlier in the game instead of for the assist, but to get spacing on offense, move without the ball in planned plays. He's a skilled player who could become their best player. He's probably their 4th best player, sometimes 5th best because of mental mistakes in big games. Once he looks at some Manu Ginobili and Scottie Pippen moves and habits, he could easily become #1 at Boston. Or elsewhere. He's young. Boston is mostly young. If they do pull off the championship against Adam Silver's meddling, they will attract more specialist coaches to basically reinforce what Joe probably already telling Jason. Like Jaylen Brown telling Jason to play through the mistakes, have a short term memory. But you have to replace bad plays with good plays. Jason is struggling. And they are still winning. If Adam Silver's refs start meddling, Jason has to come around or probably become #6 until next season. Championship is all that matters right now. Not stats not who's being used in TV ads.
Skip and Nick make thee most excuses for being wrong it’s soo comical lmao

Biggest problem is when your best player is being attacked every play and he can’t get a stop. He got 30 but gave up 50

Who’s making excuses for Luka? He’s clearly the best player on the court.
It's clear that he's not. Luka can't play defense to save his life. He's really overrated.
Clearly Brown is the best player on the floor! Luka is a circus show
@@TrevForPresidentbest player means you have to play defense not just shoot the ball
He always fake disliked Luka to make it seem like he wasn’t racist. Now he can no longer hide his white man complex
Mavs looked whipped mentally… there is a difference in believing you can win and HOPING you can win the difference is Boston believes they don’t panic they stay the course when you hoping you can win you panic and look for bailouts smh
Skip just can't help that another Dallas team has been overrated going into a playoff series. He can't accept that Boston is just a better TEAM. So many excuses and other nonsense.
He's just trying to be right lol It is a debate show after all.. Skip is MUCH more knowledgeable than Stephen A, I'll say that
Or maybe dallas isn’t overrated and boston is just that damn good
tatum has had a better series than luka.....luka stats: 60-20-11 12TOs....tatum: 34-20-17 9T....meanwhile luka has played near zero D while tatum has SHUTDOWN THE FIVE.....THE FIVE!!! WITH 20 BOARDS TO SHOW FOR IT....tatum doubled luka in man
All that salt is not good for Skip at his age. At this point he is just looking for the smallest hill to die on.
Paul Pierce was freaking EXCELLENT... Thanks Skip!
Where's all the mavs in 5 or 6 dudes from last week? 😂😂😂
staying off the internet after what they saw lbs
Mavs in 6 is still possible
We still here
👀
As a Kyrie fan, Mavs in 6…
Skip is unhinged lol
The momentum of the game Mavs went from 5 points down up to 10-12 down brought it to 5 back down to 10 down to 5 back to 10. Celtics played C+ offensively and that 2nd half helped. Celtics are a better team
Prime Ginobili Spurs and Prime Hakeem Rockets beats every great team, these Mavs and Celtics included. Not taking anything away from these Celtics. They are just beginning. There's no reason Derrick White can't become Manu Ginobili. Al Horford is getting up in age, but he's playing young and could easily play 2+ years at a high level it sure appears.
Skip, as usual, has an absolutely atrocious take based on opinions and very specific stats. Plus he just likes picking on the Celtics because he knows they are absolutely dominant over the Mavs and Luka/Kyrie, who he dickrides all the time.
Dude kyrie is one of those guys skip would suck off live on air
It makes it a good show. We need someone to make a difficult argument.
I’ve said it since the beginning, Dallas had the luxury of beating up on young green teams that weren’t experienced. Boston has been there and they’re battle tested. Dallas is in trouble
@@howsittastesWhat he's saying is the Mavs didn't go up against experienced teams but now they are.
You can’t call it a luxury. OKC, Minnesota are no luxury team to meet lol. Minnesota smashed out the defending champs…
But ofc Boston is on a different lvl with their depth. And If Kyrie continues to be a no-show Well Then Celtics gonna sweep…
I wouldn’t even say cause they were young.
Dallas just matched up with those teams better. They could pack the paint against those teams.
Luka and Kyrie were able to rest more on defense as well cause Okc and Wolves only had one major offensive threat.
I honestly think they would’ve lost to the clippers if Kawhi was healthy.
@@howsittastes lmao and now down 2-0. Pacers > Mavs in first two games lmao
The mavs beat the 1,2 and 4 seed in the west lol they was a 5th seed and nobody picked them to be in the finals why all of a sudden yall act like they was these big world beaters that we thought was gonna make it that far lol the celtics on the other hand beat young teams who was riddled with injuries that wasn’t good anyway the mavs is the only team with 50+ wins that they faced

Does it not scare you that the Celtics haven’t played their best game yet
Paul was cooking this segment
Skip thinks all games are about shooting and scoring. Defense is important as well.
He doesn’t believe in team ball.
Luka's olay defense and overall just quitting defensively doesn't get talked about enough. He could serve to lose 15-20 lbs. as well. Y'all gave Zion a hard time, but giving Luka a pass, and I like Luka. He's a superstar, but no passes over here.

"olay" defense?

I didn’t know Skip was a Luka fan. When Shannon was on, he hated him.
that full 180 turn😂
He is not he just hates the Celtics. He is with these weird people that are obsessed with Tatum being “overrated”
You can tell Skip doesnt watch the game thoroughly, he probably watches highlights & takes notes from there.
He was sleeping 😂
DID HE JUST SAY LUKA PLAYED GOOD DEFENSE IN THE 4TH QUARTER 😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I look for Tatum to go off on one of these games it may not seem it . But there's pressure on him in Boston right now , It's not fair but he's gotta meet up to everyone's expectations , Once they win a championship it all should go away hopefully . But he's gonna go off in Dallas I suspect .lol
You can definitely tell Jason wasn't able to manage his adrenaline. Joe was patient letting him try to play through it. Mavs unable to beat Boston with Jason so out of synch is bad news for Mavs. Even Jaylen Brown had a moderately good - not great - game. Kristaps in game 2 was good, not great like game 1. Mavs had help from the refs a tad. Not much but more than the Celtics. Mavs will need significant help from refs to get even one game.
Paul isn't wrong. It might sound crazy and I'm not saying they are, but when you look at the record and stats, this Celtics team could definitely be considered a top 5 team
Of course Luka had 8 turnovers. He has to do everything against a really smart defense.
True, the team has the lowest turnovers in the league and he has the ball all the time so that doesn't make him a turnover machine just do the math.
The point is he doesn't have to do everything same problem lebron has
@@sonson1873 well, the sad truth is, he has. 😕 Kyrie sucks big time, no help from him, nothing at all.

I didnt expected Paul Pierce to be this so good being well versed
Kyrie, Luka needs you wake up! I'm seeing Luka create something out of nothing in every play. He got 30 every game. The problem is even if Brown and Tatum play average. Their entire starting 5 can get 25 on any given night while playing defense. They got 6 of the 7 best players in this series. Dallas supporting cast playing horrible.
Let the guy sleep, man. We want a sweep 😂
Kyrie way too small to do anything against that elite Celtics defense.
@@ricardodasilva6708Luka is part of the reason they are losing too. He looks tired and gassed, especially on defense and he's turning the ball over.💯
Celtics been locking down Kyrie for legit years now but everyone was STILL going with Mavs
Skip, SAS, Udonis Haslem, Legler, Broussard and Nick Wright ALL took Mavs knowing Kyrie gets stomped vs. Cs and the Cs won 7 straight vs. Luka/Mavs including one this year post trade deadline (Cs blowout win). Oh but let me guess, this is a new Mavs team with DJJ, PJ Washington, Gafford and a rookie...

If you keep Boston to 105 points, then defense ain't your problem. If you only score 98, then that's a problem.

Skip’s argument that the Celtics were begging to lose makes no sense, they won!!!
I don’t know what Skip is talkin bout, Luka was a turnstile on defense, both Brown & Tatum took turns driving right by him to the basket.
Luka choked ...He was a no show in the 4th quarter once again but yet he's the best player in the league....Tatum plays WE ball while Luka plays ME ball .
Tatum has 3 people playing better than him he has help. Don’t hide his bad shooting for we ball. But definitely his rebounding and assist are helping. Luka don’t have that luxury of having all that depth. To me Luka and Tatum are both doing what they doing.
Somehow, no one talks about Luka being a turnover machine and defense of liability. All Boston does is attack him and force everyone else to help out, which breaks down the defense.😂😂 he can drop 50 but then give up 50 on defense!
Luka is stratospheres better than Tatum will ever be, JB badly outplayed him vs gs in 2022 and now Jrue, Jb , and porzignas doing the same, Tatum hasn’t even cracked 20pts this finals yet, but he’s y’all mvp? Shi sad😭

I need to apologize to Jayson. All this time I thought he was a light skin Paul George. This whole time he is a light skin Draymond Green. He does everything well but shoot.
Something I’ve really noticed with Jrue; while Smart last year just waited for the deep 3 to hoist up and flopped around on D, Jrue looks for the smartest play. He sees Tatum being doubled and a lane open up, so instead of stepping back for a bad shot he takes the open lane for an easy layup. It’s the little things that make SUCH a big difference.
When shots aren’t dropping and their not making plays, Jrue says “ok, lemme just back down this 6’9 dude for a quick 2”
Ple”THO”ra! 🤣🤣🤣
