After beating OKC, media was saying that Wolves got 3 Lu Dorts to stop Luka. This time they saying Boston has 4 defenders to stop Luka. Luka just cant be stopped. Fact!
None of luka...kyree...brown...or tatum can really be stooped. But they can all be slowed down...the celtics have 2 all defense guards and 2 of the best defensive wings.....the mavs don't have defense to throw at brown and tatum like that....not close to it. Mavs have the best player but celtics have too much else.
The way the Wolves played defense earlier, like in games 1 and 2 VS Nuggets... compared to now... truly makes me think the NBA consists of actors. It's starting to seem scripted. They Wolves were acting it out badly because it was too obvious they weren't even trying to play d.
Where is the GM of the year Nico Harrison talk? Dude basically rebuilt this roster from the 2023 trade deadline on with essentially no assets. Kyrie, PJ, Gafford, even Lively and Hardy.
Derrick Jones Jr for the minimum. And he also declined multiple deals for a Center because they asked for Josh Green and Jaden Hardy. Waited until he could get Gafford without adding a young player
Listening to Zach talking about the fans having to act happy on the jumbotron while the wolves were getting destroyed. Throughout the second half I kept thinking maybe not playing the wolf howl before the mavs were shooting free throws until the deficit is under 15 points!
Very true. You can’t make one single comp. I would say he is a blend of Paul pierce and James harden . Nobody ever mentions Paul Pierce when it comes to luka. They play eerily similar without the passing threat. Their bag is similar af
Lmao you talk about him like he's some sort of imperceptible being. You quite literally can use stats to describe his play, whether or not they tell the full story
@@jgates9786 I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. If the stats do not tell the whole story then they can't be used to accurately describe him; therefore, the stats cannot be used to accurately compare him to the others who came before. One can always use stats to tell any story they want, but without context or without telling the whole story, they will almost never be accurate, and thereby, cannot be used make accurate conclusions unless one gets extremely lucky.
To put it another way there's so much talent right now in the league and the level is super high but I think there's only two players that give other teams a headache and That's Jokic and Luka and I do really think Luka is going to a level where the teams fear him and sit another day down to solve the riddle and get to the conclusion that he can't be stoped maybe just stopped down. I mean the level of criticism on him even when he drops a 30points triple double is crazy.
Ya its getting ridiculous bc he carried a team to the conference finals 2 years ago. Now that he's upped the defensive effort it's not a question anymore.
It’s not a discussion. Luka and Kyrie are the best scoring backcourt. Step and Klay. You could say best shooting backcourt. But for overall scoring. Steph and clay don’t come close.
Steph definitely elite. But as good as Klay was pre-injury, you couldn’t just give him that ball & tell him go to work, his ball handling isn’t on the level of Kyrie & Luka. (Btw there is no “could” say Steph & Klay are the best shooting backcourt ever, they simply are that & there’s no debate)
@@Hopper830 Offensively? Name the season when Steph/Klay averaged nearly 60 PPG in the reg season and well over 50 in the Postseason. While also averaging a combined 15 APG in the reg Season and 14 APG in the Playoffs. I am waiting... Noone said better all time overall, better OFFENSIVE duo!
Lively is very good on the perimeter. Gafford not as much. I think Boston will have more success when gafford is on the floor. As far as the KP picking pops.
I also don't think KP is about to shoot 7 of 10 from three after not playing basketball for a month and returning to the most physical games of the year
@@blablablaa14yeah, I feel like KP is gonna need a game or 2 to get bacc in the groove of things. By that time it might be too late tho. Dallas takes a game in Boston & we're good to go, imo.
With respect, I think you're missing the point very badly. If lively is on the perimeter, where is he not? He'd be pulled away from the paint making his effectiveness on the defensive end really limited. I don't think k this is a good series for Dallas. I just don't see it when it comes to the match ups.
@@wannabegolfin24-72 oh well. Personally, I don't care about that at all. I don't think they're going to allow him to be pulled out. I think they're going to pick somebody to leave open. They're going to sag off and rotate he's going to remain in the paint.
How can we justify Jamal Murray being an allstar when there are so many guards better than him? Kyrie needs to get back on the allstar team before him.
@@Mr.Thomas_AndersonMurray is overrated in the reg season I agree but that mfer does go off in the playoffs tho. But I’d much rather have Kyrie than Murray💯💯💯

They are all needed dummies. It’s a TEAM. Luka has another superstar scorer, rim protectors and lob threats, wing 3 and D guys. It’s ALL needed to win a championship. Arguing which is more important is dumb. It’s like that Miller Lite commercial “great taste” “less filling”. That’s what y’all sound like.
@@ronmoody3001You’re smokin crack lmfao. Kyrie is 10000000000% needed. He’s a 2nd closer for the Mavs & on some nights he’s the #1 closer.

Anybody who cites advanced stats in comparing one player from 1 team to a player from another team is completely misunderstanding how advanced stats work. BPM for example has more to do with how a coach manages a roster and rotations: not a good way to compare two players from different teams.
Boston quickly becoming underdog in the 2024 FInals vs Mavericks. Luka shot 38.2% on three's for the season on 744 shots, which ranks him #2 in total attempts, and #72 in percentage in the league. Yeah, so a torrid first quarter of Game 5 with 20 points, mostly three's. But, over those first 4 games, how efficient will Luka be?
It’s bout matchups tho. C’s matches so well vs Mavs than Minny does & C’s can actually make Mavs pay on O unlike Minny’s O bruh. U can’t start two 7 footers vs Mavs. And it was evident when we see how stagnant the Minny’s O was vs Mavs O whenever they’d get a favorable matchup after a pick. If Minny traps on D?

Dejounte Murry and the first pick in the draft makes sense for the Wolves. At worst case you can get rid of Conley as well. Sarr can replace Rudy after his deal is up. Basically opens a lot of different options for Wolves to reconstruct their roster, while keeping a core of DJM, NAW, Ant, Naz, Jaden and Sarr moving forward which could be really good on its own and more importantly, financially stable for at least 5 years. Its def worth a shot
@@GurtonBuster07 Use your brain, Atlanta is steps away from a full tank for 3-4 years. They have no way to improve. But at least a Kat/Trae combo gives you a really strong offense you can pretend will carry you. Also DJ isn't worth much, and the 1st pick isn't worth much in this draft. It makes sense for Atlanta to go big instead of just trade DJ for 2 first round picks and pick a super raw prospect like Sarr and getting much worse when they don't own their picks for 3 years.

Joe Mazulla has not said they should win the math battle by shooting more threes. He said it about shot margins, taking more good shots than the other team, no matter what kind of shot it is.
You are so lame. Are you this insecure that you had to comment this? Let’s not forget, it was Kyrie who got them past the clippers. If not for him, luka would be home in the first round. Ungrateful.
What kind of corny , insecure comment is this? Without Kyries performance against the clippers. Your boyfriend Luka would been home in the first round.
I understand the comparison but I find Luka's game so much more enjoyable to watch compared to Harden. Probably because I enjoy watching Luka work around the basket with his post and midrange game opposed to Harden who was truly all 3 and barfed drives that often led to free throws.
It’s crazy how I keep hearing how Boston is the favorite to win and hear how dominant the Mavericks are and how many issues the Celtics have. Guess we should just give the Mavs the Trophy
What's even crazier is how surprised you are that the opponent you're up against might be good at stuff, and how equally surprised you are that your team has any weaknesses. All of that can be true, and Boston still be the favorites.
Slovenian language is not rich with original and juicy swear words. Most of them were "imported" from Serbian, Croatian, some from Italian and German language, nowadays EN as well ... some typical swear phrase used to be 300 kosmatih medvedov, which translated means 300 hairy bears ... .
why are you distinguishing between serbo-croatian language? 3 sto komatih. I remember this one. My Grandmother taught me "vrag ti jebi" when was she mad at something.
@@robertjanez7467 there are differences in how languages evolved after Yugoslavia fell apart. We used to know and learn mix of Serbian and Croatian (before Slovenia became independent) at elementary school (I think it was in the 5th grade only), known as Serbo-Croatian but both languages have different words and nowadays Croatians would not be very happy if you would speak that mixed language or Serbian. Slovenian language is also one of the most archaic languages in Slavic language group which still allows you to understand language that was spoken in Trubar's time (he wrote first Slovenian book in 1550). With Germanic influence, it sounds much colder/stiff or hard compared to a bit more soft spoken other Slavic languages and you can hear that difference when people speak. You would still most likely understand Croatians and Serbians without learning their language, but they will not understand you or they would really struggle to understand you, while Croatians and Serbians would not have much problems understanding each other. Slovenian language is very specific in that regard and as you probably know it is one of 2 indo-european languages that still uses dual (2nd one is Sorbian).
Boston has the better team and Mavs has the best player for both teams. It looks eerily similar to Lebron's Cavs finals against the KD Warriors. Main difference is this Boston team is not as good as the Warriors team but that Cavs team was also better than this Mavs team so its pretty identical in terms of that. Also, the fact that Luka plays like Lebron and also has a sidekick of the name of Kyrie.
I get why you would make that Comp but it’s actually way off. At that moment in time. Bron was the clear best player in the world, 2way player. Is Luka the clear best? Like unanimous clear Best. Next, Curry & KD were held as the clear 2nd & 3rd best player (in whatever order you want to rank). Tatum & Brown are nowhere near the realm of KD & Curry.
Dude, you are way off. Think about the players on the Cavs back then. Labron, Kyrie, Tristian Thompson, JR Smith, Kevin Love compared to what the Mavs got, it isn't even close.
The cavs were literally considered a super team and they had Lebron who’s better than luka, and a younger kyrie who’s better than this kyrie. And the cavs had Kevin love a third all star, who do yall have…? … are all mavs fans this retarded seriously? It reminds me that you guys are also Dallas cowboys fans Lmaooooo no wonder why the collective IQ of yall is lacking I can read it with what you guys type.
Celtis are 100% favorites.. They can stop Kyrie they have done it before then the only way dallas win is if Luka scores 50 but even if he scores 50 who cares you still might win..
For the Wolves, this is the best team in 20 years. They'll pay the tax for 1-2 years and then restructure Rudy's deal to get under the 2nd apron. It's not the end of the world to pay that tax for 2 years, the pick consequences start after the 3rd but Rudy's deal ends in 3 years and they can renegotiate it. Why would they trade KAT for Randle? How does Randle help them in ways KAT doesn't? KAT is crucial to their offense and defensive identity, he's a 50/40/90 center who graciously will take a #2 role, adds size, rebounding and can play defense. Randle won't give you that, they'd have to build chemistry as a team all over again and Randle is not cheap either. Trading KAT after he's one of the the main reasons they made the WCF is stupid.
Lowe has said the exact same thing about a young 22-year-old Anthony Edwards just 3 weeks ago. You all anointed him and unfortunately u put too much pressure on that poor kid now can we just let these young men enjoy the game without anointing people before they even get to a finals. nobody says sorry I was wrong ..... They do the exact same thing to the next team who is hot in the next round. But for some reason 95% of the sports media hates Boston. Which is blasphemy but at the end of the day I love that the hate is flowing in because it only add fuel to the fire of an already heated jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. If KP isn't ready to go I still see Boston winning the series in 6 or 7. Nobody has a better defensive backcourt than Boston and I love how this is going so far under the radar that everybody's going to be hyping up Kyrie and Luca and shitting on Boston. So Mr Lowe keep the hate and keep it strong don't change your energy if Boston goes up 2-0 in the series and then you start hedging. No take backs Lowe
The media trying to hype Ant as MJ was genuinely hilarious. They’re so desperate for an American face they pushed this absolutely insane narrative. Ant is good. He’s not that level.
Boston has a better defence and a better offence.. You can only pick Dallas if you think Luka is going to be other worldly.. I think Luka will be the best player on the court and Dallas will still lose..
Amen. I hope Luka will destroy with the same vengeance Celtics beloved Garden. Luka is a butcher and it is a not a good idea to talk trash to a valiant like that.
@@huxleybennett4732 competitors don't fear competition. It's the perspective of ppl who have never been apart of competition. The greater the player the more you want to play them. Fear isn't part of the equation at all.
i like luka and zach lowe a lot, but nice to have pelton gently pushing back on some of the bias zach has toward luka (which he also has with jokic). luka's GREAT, but there are reasons ppl were saying the stuff they were saying about him as a teammate. porzingis obviously wasn't 100% when he was in dallas, but some of that not working out what on luka. everyone's tired of watching luka whine to refs. the guy ain't jesus lol
Why would you expect that Kyrie will give you this kind of production for 4-5 more years? Hes 32, has always been injury prone. Is he suddenly going yo get healthier in his mid thirties? That's not even mentioning the off the court issues that seem to follow him everywhere.
Black people need a lot more and intense sun to even stay healthy as their melanin receptors aren’t so sensible like the ones of white people. He also said he feels better in Dallas because of the weather. He’ll be fine in this regard.
They are not winning with Kat & Rudy. FORTUNATELY for non-Wolves fans who see Ant is solid, is they are handicapped with 2 max contract big men who are not max championship players and no one will trade for. Ant & Wolves not winning till those contracts run out lol!!!
Are you going to pretend that Kyrie's points didnt come in garbage time? Luke had 20 points in the first quarter. The game was over before the second half began.
Wth? 3m in and already cant listen. Greatest trade?! KG to Celtics, Kareem to Lakers, Pierce KG and Terry to Brooklyn? Dude, youre press pass is gonna get revoked.
Kd n lebron went to finals at 22 n 23 I get it with Luka but the Whiteboy’s are so happy yes Luka is good he has a team round him finally but pump the breaks
also, dominayton jokes are funny (and he plays soft, never gets to the line, etc. etc.) but a. he made to the finals before luka, and b. the suns haven't been anywhere near as good since they decided to play hardball and let him hit rfa

What's even crazier is how surprised you are that the opponent you're up against might be good at stuff, and how equally surprised you are that your team has any weaknesses. All of that can be true, and Boston still be the favorites.
@@Tophergr8 That’s a great point!
Slovenian language is not rich with original and juicy swear words. Most of them were "imported" from Serbian, Croatian, some from Italian and German language, nowadays EN as well ... some typical swear phrase used to be 300 kosmatih medvedov, which translated means 300 hairy bears ... .
bebo en.. kdo je tebe poklical pojasnevat tuki stvari.. otrok zarukan
thats because you r a puss not because we dont have sweart words to put you in your spot, crybaby
why are you distinguishing between serbo-croatian language? 3 sto komatih. I remember this one.
My Grandmother taught me "vrag ti jebi" when was she mad at something.
@@robertjanez7467 there are differences in how languages evolved after Yugoslavia fell apart. We used to know and learn mix of Serbian and Croatian (before Slovenia became independent) at elementary school (I think it was in the 5th grade only), known as Serbo-Croatian but both languages have different words and nowadays Croatians would not be very happy if you would speak that mixed language or Serbian. Slovenian language is also one of the most archaic languages in Slavic language group which still allows you to understand language that was spoken in Trubar's time (he wrote first Slovenian book in 1550). With Germanic influence, it sounds much colder/stiff or hard compared to a bit more soft spoken other Slavic languages and you can hear that difference when people speak. You would still most likely understand Croatians and Serbians without learning their language, but they will not understand you or they would really struggle to understand you, while Croatians and Serbians would not have much problems understanding each other. Slovenian language is very specific in that regard and as you probably know it is one of 2 indo-european languages that still uses dual (2nd one is Sorbian).
The Sixers had a similar run as these Celtics from 77 thru 83...look it up!!!!
What about D Murray and D Hunter for KAT
Boston has the better team and Mavs has the best player for both teams. It looks eerily similar to Lebron's Cavs finals against the KD Warriors.
Main difference is this Boston team is not as good as the Warriors team but that Cavs team was also better than this Mavs team so its pretty identical in terms of that.
Also, the fact that Luka plays like Lebron and also has a sidekick of the name of Kyrie.
cavs team is def not better than this mavs team
Lebron is not a killer like Luka.
I get why you would make that Comp but it’s actually way off. At that moment in time. Bron was the clear best player in the world, 2way player. Is Luka the clear best? Like unanimous clear Best. Next, Curry & KD were held as the clear 2nd & 3rd best player (in whatever order you want to rank). Tatum & Brown are nowhere near the realm of KD & Curry.
Dude, you are way off. Think about the players on the Cavs back then. Labron, Kyrie, Tristian Thompson, JR Smith, Kevin Love compared to what the Mavs got, it isn't even close.
The cavs were literally considered a super team and they had Lebron who’s better than luka, and a younger kyrie who’s better than this kyrie. And the cavs had Kevin love a third all star, who do yall have…? … are all mavs fans this retarded seriously? It reminds me that you guys are also Dallas cowboys fans Lmaooooo no wonder why the collective IQ of yall is lacking I can read it with what you guys type.
Has KP learned how to post now? Mavs in 6
One of the best or the best per points scored per post up last two seasons
Boston in 6
@@destinywaitMWI doubt. Mavs in 6
Hes right....kp is just being joker in post ups.
Celtics in 6....2 best offenses in the nba...celtics 1 ...mavs 2. Defense the celtics are #2 ....mavs #7 .....hmm numbers don't lie
Doncic is the best player...but celtics are the best team. I'll take team over player any day.
Thumbnail is tough
lol fan brought a "hanky" to the arena.
Green is awesome!
Celtis are 100% favorites.. They can stop Kyrie they have done it before then the only way dallas win is if Luka scores 50 but even if he scores 50 who cares you still might win..
PLEASE, GSW, DO NOT trade for KAT.
Tell me how many times the Celtics had the best player in the series out of their 17 banners. 17 team championships. 18th coming up.
Really, handkerchiefs are old school. Well for those of us with allergies, it's very practical school not to carry around a box of tissues.
Don’t think it’s a big deal who is guarding who here, mavs will get off ball screens to get all the matchups the mavs want.
Nick, this Celtics vs Dallas series will be known as Celtics DOES Dallas as dallas will get screwed by celtics
For the Wolves, this is the best team in 20 years. They'll pay the tax for 1-2 years and then restructure Rudy's deal to get under the 2nd apron. It's not the end of the world to pay that tax for 2 years, the pick consequences start after the 3rd but Rudy's deal ends in 3 years and they can renegotiate it.
Why would they trade KAT for Randle? How does Randle help them in ways KAT doesn't? KAT is crucial to their offense and defensive identity, he's a 50/40/90 center who graciously will take a #2 role, adds size, rebounding and can play defense. Randle won't give you that, they'd have to build chemistry as a team all over again and Randle is not cheap either. Trading KAT after he's one of the the main reasons they made the WCF is stupid.
So Slovenian uses all of the Serbian/Croatian expletives. Ours are really timid 😂
Never heard a pod where the host talks five times as much as the guest
Zach looks psyched bruh 😂😂😂
Can someone tell me if Boston beat the mavs?
Trading KAT only makes sense if you're legit making your team better without him.
Lowe has said the exact same thing about a young 22-year-old Anthony Edwards just 3 weeks ago. You all anointed him and unfortunately u put too much pressure on that poor kid now can we just let these young men enjoy the game without anointing people before they even get to a finals. nobody says sorry I was wrong ..... They do the exact same thing to the next team who is hot in the next round. But for some reason 95% of the sports media hates Boston. Which is blasphemy but at the end of the day I love that the hate is flowing in because it only add fuel to the fire of an already heated jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. If KP isn't ready to go I still see Boston winning the series in 6 or 7. Nobody has a better defensive backcourt than Boston and I love how this is going so far under the radar that everybody's going to be hyping up Kyrie and Luca and shitting on Boston. So Mr Lowe keep the hate and keep it strong don't change your energy if Boston goes up 2-0 in the series and then you start hedging. No take backs Lowe
Luka swears on serbocroatian, as you said it. I am sure that you recognize his swear words because that is what strangers learn first.
The media trying to hype Ant as MJ was genuinely hilarious. They’re so desperate for an American face they pushed this absolutely insane narrative. Ant is good. He’s not that level.
Luka and Kyrie had the same game.
I would get rid of Gobert before I get rid of Towns
Boston has a better defence and a better offence.. You can only pick Dallas if you think Luka is going to be other worldly.. I think Luka will be the best player on the court and Dallas will still lose..
Get Kevin some tea. He sounds like a garbage disposal clogged with coffee grounds
Amen. I hope Luka will destroy with the same vengeance Celtics beloved Garden. Luka is a butcher and it is a not a good idea to talk trash to a valiant like that.
I'm too young to remember Bird. But that's how I imagined his dominance. That would be nice to see Celtics being crashed by Luka.
Luka cries for every call.
I hate "fear" arguments in sports.
Why? Sure it’s often overused, but the mental aspect of the game makes a huge difference
@@huxleybennett4732 competitors don't fear competition. It's the perspective of ppl who have never been apart of competition. The greater the player the more you want to play them. Fear isn't part of the equation at all.
Slovenians actually have to fallback to other balkan curse words because ours are honestly too silly and non threatening 😅
Luka can't do it without Kyrie and the role players that's for sure.
Of course. It's a team game.
Yup, nobody ever won a championship playing 1 on 5.
Nobody does..its not golf
Luka finally has a center… make that a 2-headed center. That is what has really pushed them over the hump.
MJ couldn't do it without Scottie, that's a stain on him? I suppose Shai could get it done 1v5. Luka stomped them, be quiet
Outside of those two jazz games, dallas has not been good withiut luka playing lol
they should ban Luka's screaming when he makes a shot - it's poor sportsmanship
Harden is better than Luka will ever be. When teams start extreme doubling Luka I will believe it.
i like luka and zach lowe a lot, but nice to have pelton gently pushing back on some of the bias zach has toward luka (which he also has with jokic). luka's GREAT, but there are reasons ppl were saying the stuff they were saying about him as a teammate. porzingis obviously wasn't 100% when he was in dallas, but some of that not working out what on luka. everyone's tired of watching luka whine to refs. the guy ain't jesus lol
This show belongs on FOX Network. ESPN is better than this. Take SAS with you.
Why would you expect that Kyrie will give you this kind of production for 4-5 more years? Hes 32, has always been injury prone. Is he suddenly going yo get healthier in his mid thirties? That's not even mentioning the off the court issues that seem to follow him everywhere.
Been especially impressive given the whole Israel situation.
@@Earl_E_Burdwhat do you mean?
@@smag7477 That Kyrie hasn't weighed in on Israel shows restraint
Black people need a lot more and intense sun to even stay healthy as their melanin receptors aren’t so sensible like the ones of white people. He also said he feels better in Dallas because of the weather. He’ll be fine in this regard.
@@Earl_E_BurdTrue but he does wear Palestine map neklace.
Luka still gotta play defense too🥴
Tatum better than Luka at FT line!
So tatum never beat the bucks of the sixers or the heat In the playoffs? He wasn't the best player in those rounds and yet he still won....
He arguably was the best player when he faced Jimmy, KD and Joel.
Only Gianni's was truly better than him and it was quite close.
Snoop dogg
Let’s see Luca play defense 😂😂😂
They are not winning with Kat & Rudy. FORTUNATELY for non-Wolves fans who see Ant is solid, is they are handicapped with 2 max contract big men who are not max championship players and no one will trade for. Ant & Wolves not winning till those contracts run out lol!!!
Go Boston !!!!!
Good luck. I’m sure the cold blooded backcourt of Luka and Kyrie are really intimidated by the VaJayJay twins.
@@DerekRitli-wh1xw I would cheap shot them and go for Lucas knees!!!! Hahaha
Luka can average 35 and they’d still lose
Plus minus blah blah!
Yall want Kyrie out the highlight so bad lol they BOTH literally had the same points and its all about Luka lol
Who won the WCF MVP??
Hint: It wasnt SIDEKICK Kyrie
lol
Are you going to pretend that Kyrie's points didnt come in garbage time? Luke had 20 points in the first quarter. The game was over before the second half began.
@@MrOctober44 well said
Well if you watched the video they talked about Kyrie a lot here lol you just complaining for no reason
Luka killed the game in the 1st quarter
Williams Matthew White Gary Rodriguez Kimberly
Wth? 3m in and already cant listen. Greatest trade?! KG to Celtics, Kareem to Lakers, Pierce KG and Terry to Brooklyn? Dude, youre press pass is gonna get revoked.
You didn't listen. He said greatest trade for the cost. Kyrie for DSJ & Dinwiddie
Kd n lebron went to finals at 22 n 23 I get it with Luka but the Whiteboy’s are so happy yes Luka is good he has a team round him finally but pump the breaks
And both lost. Luka’s gonna win this.
@@MrMathsimon Celtics not losing this go but I am a kyrie fan, im happy for him
It's gonna be a long week of silly and stupid narratives. Can't wait for this thing to start.
So this guy woted for SGA over Luka? Buahahaha
All credibility lost
Also voted a D grade for the Kyrie trade. Just a hater
Luka i the next coming of Lebron James
Didn’t kyrie & luka have 36? Definitely not watching this but I had to comment because of your pathetic click bait
Did you watch the game?
@@samoherman8291Yes, Kyrie making Luka space cuz he is bejng doubled up. Take Kyrie out Mavs lose all offensive.
@@iflgames3245Stop it. Get some help.
Luka pretty much ended the game in the first.
Says the guy who craves attention LOL. Get over yourself
also, dominayton jokes are funny (and he plays soft, never gets to the line, etc. etc.) but a. he made to the finals before luka, and b. the suns haven't been anywhere near as good since they decided to play hardball and let him hit rfa
Jaylen Brown gonna drop Fat Luka more times than the number of games in this series. Celtics in 4 😂
Ill take fat Luka over Jaylen "overrated, overpaid cant dribble left" Brown
Funny, Clippers were saying in 4. Thunder were saying in 4. Wolves were saying in 4. Now Celtics say in 4… hmm, let’s see.
@@Marc-n5ewon't be I four.....but you must have stopped watching celtics games....cause jb has most certainly corrected that problem. Lol
@@DavidVictoriaReyes-xd9fjceltics in 6....4 was plain disrespectful.

Yes but no one really cares about the Dallas Mavs. Ant man would've been a better headline

Cry
@@DavidVictoriaReyes-xd9fj you projecting, bro? 😂
No one really cares about Dallas. Ant man is a better headline, lol 😉😉
Another nonsense preview... ahahhaha celtics choke men...ahahhaha
These comments are going to come off as really naive and insecure when Boston wins it all. I literally read that in the voice of Sid from Toy Story. You sound like a demented child.
They've won more playoff games in 7 years ....yes they lose some but that's still a WHOLELOT of winning.
