The Celtics had everything in their favor this year: -won on the Kobe years (08 and 24) -revenge on kyrie -KP revenge on the mavs -KP as a former all star center came off the bench in the finals. Game 1 was the first game the Celtics played following the passing of Bill Walton, a guy who went from MVP with the blazers to 6th man with the 86 Celtics. Fitting that he went ballistic that game. -revenge on the heat in round 1, where they specifically attacked, crossed, and dunked on Caleb Martin throughout the series -revenge on the Cavs in round 2, only other team to beat the Jays in the ecf before -Joe Mazulla has a flawless gameplan throughout the finals after being widely considered to have been out coached last playoffs. And lastly, KPs injury forced the Jays to get rid of past demons. KP is who unlocked this offense, so JT and JB had to fix their issues from prior seasons in order to advance and win without him.
The thought to just stand in the corner and never move out of spite is hilarious. Why didn't you run back on D Porzingus? You told me to stand in corner!!!
It should’ve worked and still be working but for whatever his reasons Luka didn’t want it to work. I only saw them a few times nationally but picked up how one, Luka didn’t want to give him the ball. Example, can’t remember who it was against in the regular season but KP was starting to try to play in the paint and he wouldn’t get the touches. I still remember thinking “Ok KP is trying to ball and get usage inside the top of the key but why isn’t he getting looks. Two, as good as Luka was I could also see he never played with KP like out of everyone he needs to ball out it’s KP but he treated him like a role player like he’s on the same level as Kleber, DFSmith and whatever other role players they had. That’s no offense to those guys but even if they had it going I could see Luka only treates him like a role player. Interestingly enough, I told someone who knows the game that Luka purposely freezes KP out and explained how he doesn’t treat him like the guy he needs to ball out the most besides himself. The person I told thought I might just be talkin’ crazy. Probably a day or two later he sent me a link that I had no idea existed which was on youtube. There’s vids titled “Luka won’t pass to Kristaps Porzingis” or something similar and it’s way worse than anything I saw. I don’t know if it was personal, a European star thing or not but I knew what I was reading the little I saw them. Luka’s ignoring him is 👀 and it’s not a “I missed you on that play”. He didn’t play with him like he was the #2 guy on the squad and didn’t treat him like that either. They had the makings of different styled type of Kobe & Shaq or even a sort of Lbj and AD. People would lay blame on Porzingis not seeing him getting ignored or getting touches in bad positions but every time some would say why doesn’t he play in the paint more I knew it was because when he does try to post up and is open he knows he’s still not getting the rock. You should always give bigs or players the rock when they have post up position even if they’re not a key player but especially someone like KP. As a pg you embrace that not ignore it. Obviously KP had some injury issues as well but they’d be a lot farther along if they had made that work. They’re finding they’re way back but there’s no way that shouldn’t have or couldn’t work especially with KP not being ball dominant. It’s not about numbers but both of them were supposed to be at least an easy 25 a piece on even a bad night
@@middlfingazup2446bro defending porzingis with his life , Carlisle developed that system 1 core 4 shooters , luka played according to the plan which still be used today , is so easy to criticise luka on how he play and how others won’t fit in the system . Why didn’t kyrie have the same beef with porzingis ? Why lively giving a diff vibe ? Long story short said , he wasn’t a fit in that system he get sidelined when he does not fit and porzingis then wasn’t porzingis now , back then he demands ball as well and was soft as f, and now he was more like a role players and of cuz still shooting deep three . Come on now , everyone knows this team built around luka , so the system start with luka , and with the play style already built in since day one , u already know they didn’t need a co star of or center but a blue collar one .bro doesn’t know basketball go watch baseball brother
What a great discussion. I would love to see an episode with you discussing Victor and the context of what he means to the Spurs versus fan expectations from the Duncan-Parker-Ginobili era. So much negativity around the team from fans, and I think they forget in the Big Three era, most of these players would be either playing in the D (G League) or their pre-draft team if outside the US for 2-3 years before they would see court time. Having an ex-vet player's perspective would be great.
I remember the play-off series between the Mavericks and the Clippers. At that time, the idea was that if KP was further from the bottom of the basket, then Luka would have more free space to go to the basket with the ball, etc. It seemed to work at first and the Mavericks were ahead in the series 2-0, but when the Clippers coach changed tactics, then Rick (Mavs coach) didn't change tactics, even though you could see that everything is not going according to plan and the Clippers are taking control in the series.
That’s what I love about the playoffs. It’s a game of adjustments. A team could go up 2-0, but when the opposing coach finally finds something that works, makes it go 2-1, or evens the series, then it goes back on the other coach to make adjustments on the fly.
@@TheKapei22 spo also got alot better at it! and sometimes u have to learn it the hard way, like 2011 where spo himself said he got outchoached easily by the mavs
yep the clippers went with batum at center to space the floor since they knew porzingis wasnt gonna punish them for their lack of size due to him standing in the corner. and it worked
The thing is JJ was a role player in his final years. KP is near elite or second offensive option in that team, for a coach that doesnt use that option in an intelligent way... Huge mistake from Rick
This interview changed how I perceived KP. He seems very mature now and has learned from his mistakes. He got rewarded with a chip and that’s what it’s all about.
I think doc told Tobias the samething last few seasons. He still forgets how to play sometimes as a result 😮 I mean he can play but he instinctively returns back to go in the corner a lot.
Imagine being 7'3, getting paid millions to play professional basketball, and you finally make it to the playoffs. How would you feel, if you were told by the coach, that the BEST thing for the team, is for you to just get out of the way and stand in the corner?
@@romeoramirez1292 Everyone is soft in this league. The fact that he's even a capable 3 shooter, at 7'3, is saying something. I'm not defending him. Just saying that must be a tough pill to swallow.
It really shows how the Celtics team/coaches really study what he can do, as a great player that he is, to move the team forward and win the championship
Now he is a Celtic and he has a title. Things just seemed to work out. We are very happy to have him in Boston. Boston is a complete team that plays team basketball. Check your ego at the door.
Coach Rick Play and health of Kp affected their duo very mature Kp in answering that question hopefully he remains healthy they might win the Chip this year if he is healthy
@@benyaminjameie the plays were going to lose by 30 points. shooting only threes isn't going to beat the Clippers. You have to post up on the Clippers to beat them. you're wrong cause clippers won with those plays mavs were doing. even though the Mavericks had a roster 5 times as good. KP was Mature to see the error of Carlisle and know that won't work. KP was RIGHT!!! TRUTH IS TRUTH Good coaches listen to their players and get the ball to their players in where they like to score the ball from.
@@benyaminjameie Threes NEVER WORK. Boston won't win this season either. Their coach is an idiot and using KP even worse than carlisle used him. KP said he just doesn't care anymore if it's bad basketball the coach has casue 37 million per year. Boston will lose in the second round cause their dumb coach only uses KP at half court. KP now just says Whatever I make 37 million per year if the coach wants to pay us that much to only shoot threes and probably lose is what it's about now. You will see that if KP posted up he would win every game. if he shoots 3's that team will lose every game. It's that simple.
As a Celts fan I was so worried Mazzulla would waste Kristaps by turning him into just a catch-and-shoot guy. I felt like he'd kinda ruined Grant Williams and Payton Pritchard during his first year coaching. Thankfully he learned and grew and did a beautiful job managing his talent all the way to a title.
1:20 "It has to be clear what the roles are..." This is exactly why I believe that Basketball is flawed by design. The positions are not as clear as a sport like American football or European football. Basketball is a position-less sport, so emotional chemistry between players becomes very important. In a sport like European football or American football "doing your job" can more easily overcome a lack of camaraderie, because "jobs" are more specialized and there is less overlap between "jobs." This leads to a stronger sense of "we don't have to get long as long as we all do our jobs, then we will be okay."
Basketball isn't position less, stop repeating media driven narratives and try to think for yourself sometimes. You really think Trae Young could guard Embiid?
@@xDreMack "You really think Trae Young could guard Embiid?" -- Of course it would difficult for Trae Young to guard Embiid, but it is not because of Trae Young's position but his size. I didn't claim basketball is a "size-less" sport. lol
Like Dirk, Kp and Marrkanen shouldn't be use exclusively as catch and shoot or else their great/good % will drop. They should be played on different spots all game.
Please don’t compare the great Dirk Nowitzki to role players like Porzingis and Markanen. It’s a disservice to Dirk who carried the Mavs to 12 straight 50+ win seasons as the only superstar on his team.
He couldn’t do anything else at the time. He literally couldn’t post up someone that was half his height and he was shooting below 30% from 3 and he was getting injured every couple games. He was never even apart of the offense bc he was barely there
They have to get the ball in ISO's to dribble, and Move to have Rhythm that is the only way to Have Rhythm for All Star 7 footers. Also it's Human Nature to play better defense and all around game if they ISO.
@@ysmkaray you sucked everynight and all night in that series. KP was polled from the games and the coach was feuding with him. Cause he wanted to post up but the coach only wanted him to stand behind the 3 point line. KP is right. He payed just fine the coach just didn't want anyone to pass to him he still rebounded fine and blocked shots. the coach is stupid like you. you have never played basketball how do YOU score if YOU are 7'2 and the coach says don't pass to you. What do you do.
@@zachnantz5304 Kristaps has been posting up on every center in the NBA since 2014! speak for yourself you're the only one that is scared to post up. you are SOFT zacharia. KP is the reason Boston is 10 games better this season than last at this point. You lied. you said marcus was better you LIAR. soft weak zacharia.
True sadly Derek Fisher went rogue during the season. He was getting the ball routinely in post when fisher was the coach. Soon as hornasech became coach he pushed him to the 3 pt line that been his game ever sense.
Yall saying this like it’s a story of revenge bro admitted he could of done a better job this is sports sometimes you have to take a back seat lmao it’s nice to see that he understands that now
Wild to admit he purposely didn’t do better because he was asked to do a lesser role play during that series. As a Mavs fan this is disappointing to hear. When no one wanted to touch this man due to his rape case and injuries. Mavs saw potential. Glad he no longer is on the team. He was a role player with the Celtics to win that chip but he’s injured again just from walking. That will be his only chip.
And telling someone go stand in the corner is the exact explanation I give when I say all assists are not created equal and just because u have some assists doesn’t mean u made ur teammates better because they are not in the flow of the game offensively.
@@azel155 As well as: His intense injury situation, playing against his brother after all the hype, being teammates, rookie struggles, BBB, and much more
@@azel155injuries and toll on mental health, stories about lebron and the sudden expectations to win on the young Lakers core, fixing his awful shooting form and becoming a great spot up shooter, defense, playmaking, being the 1 seed in Chicago while anchoring a defense as the PG, his brothers specifically melo and what that competitive nature was like growing up, Alan foster stealing millions from them, that’s plenty for an episode.
JJ might be one of the most emotionally intelligent interviewers I've ever seen. And I've seen 10s of thousands of interviews in my life. I'm too tired to elaborate on what I mean. Just trust me
Him and luka just wasn’t meant to be on the same team. It happens, the NBA essentially wrote off porzingus as a has been ever since he left the mavs. I’m glad the Celtics believed in him, all he needed was the right situation to be great in. I never forgot or doubted his abilities, I knew he was always just in bad situations from the day he was drafted unfortunately.
@@HooksyCollins 3 of 7 is all time great to do that everygame. But that is not a COMPLETE GAME. That is just one part of the game. Would 5 Hubert Davis win the Championship cause he could go 4 for 7 every game on threes. Doesn't mean he would win the Championship cause there are more to the gme like posting up rebounding, defense, passing, dribbling. Scoring in must have baskets. Which still to this day no 3 point shooter can do. Caue they would have to be 100% everytime which not Curry or Kerr are.
They just wanted him to be something that he wasn't a 7'2 spot up 3 point shooter. He's just simply not that as a player. He's a Post up player that teams should run offense through Close to the basket with post ups, Flash Post ups, and Mid Range post ups. Also on pick and pop from mid range or 3. He should be in movement plays around the basket cause he can get easy shots up over them and also he can gain rhythm that way. It balances the floor aswell. He can draw doubles there too and pass off.
@@ericrios0987 He did many times and was WORKING AT THAT ALL OF HIS YOUNG CARER THEN he proves he was Ready with the Mavs. The problem with idiots that don't like Kristaps is that they think for some reason he was supposed to be a finished product at age 18. He averaged 13 in the lane with the Mavs in 20 then 14 pts and 21. then 16pts in 22. he was getting better each game he got the ball then all of a sudden the coaches got in a fight with him and said they don't want to shoot layups anymore they only want half court shots. Cause during the searson which I watched every game. KP was getting the ball close to the rim and scoring over everyone especially smaller defenders that aren't good like you. he was with the Wizards and averaged 18 in the lane over any kind of defender. and he shot 50% for the season.
Bruh, if you've been watching the Mavs games when KP was in, you'll see how he's been useless. Can't rebound, always doing his turn around jumper and bricking it, and can't take advantage of mismatch. Opposing teams put guards on him and he can't take advantage of it hence Rick putting him in the corner.
Porzingis finally found his perfect role. He’s to injury prone to be a reliable 1 or 2. I think him now as a third or 4th option or 5th option on that team that’s perfect for him. If you can afford all those high priced dudes they have now.
That's the problem of playing with ball dominant players like Luka or LeBron. You either accept you ain't seeing the ball except in kick outs or you can't really play with them.
Luka needs to center who doesn’t need the ball in his hands. These days most elite bigs have a bag and it’s tough for them to stomach just being a lob threat, nothing else. KP actually gets shooting opportunities in Boston unlike in Dallas
if you look deep into it, standing on the corner post a threat to the opposing team. even if you not 9/9. this make the defense twice to DT. to a person who ready pull that trigger shot. most game are not win by big margin. they are won be 2 or 4 point lead. making 3's is the factor of that. if you are in that situation. feel comfortable and train to shoot over bigger defender. try to shoot the best you can and just do the best defense you can on the other side.
He got injured leaving Luka alone when it mattered the most first and then the next year he refused to play hard in defense. And after that he came back afraid to give it all in defense, from being a good rim protector to being an overpaid liability that couldn't defend even against mediocre centers in the league. You can't demand respect of the team if you don't fulfill the role you are getting paid for, and even less blaming the coaching staff or Luka who got to battle a full healthy Clippers ALONE 2 times in a row because the guy that is being paid like a superstar is butthurt that the young guy is performing better.
@@richardfinney2548 Now changes nothing, it is quite easy to perform when you got 2 Allstars, 2 all Def players 1 of them former champ and all-star, and you don't even need to perform or even play to get to the NBA finals. Change KP for any of the top centers and they would be the same if not better. He showed he could not handle the co-star role. And this year once again he wasn't available until the finals... GL if you had needed him in the previous rounds... Just as DAL needed since they didn't have such a complete and deep roster.
@@kevinchang7497 BOS was the #1 contender all season long, no shame in losing to them, they have 2 allstars, 2 former allstars (1 of them former champ) and 2 all def players. DAL needs to learn and improve from this no matter the outcome, BOS lost against GSW and Heat, yet here they are. My statement about KP keeps being the same, he wasn't there for 3 round in PO, you can't do that when you are #1 or #2 option, he is just lucky that BOS is such a deep team that they can handle playing wo him and even wo Tatum performing like a superstar since they have at least 3 other players that can take over a game (J.Brown, Jrue, D,White).
Luka needed a Tyson chandler not a Dirk it was never gonna work. Clean up on the boards block shots and catch lobs glad kp fits right into my Celtics things happen for a reason. #banner18
To say that KP owed it to Mavs for how they treated him is the same as saying Kyrie owed it to Celtics for the way Boston treated him. I saw when KP was on bench in game 4, he had the same look when he was in dallas. Pouting for not getting his way. I wonder how close Boston leaders came to telling him to get over himself that day. I’m sure Tatum and Brown were frustrated that day too and KP was unwilling to stand up during time outs.
But, sure. Blame the player for being frustrated that he's not being used the way he KNOWS he can be. That's why Washington whipped Dallas every time they played, and now KP's with Boston and is having a great season!!
So i dont understand porzingus, u dont want to be on the block, hanging and banging in the post. So they tell you to stay outside and shoot threes and u dont want to do that either? Your not setting screens for anyone and you cant put the ball on the floor so what do you want?
Dear Luka haters, Mavs were up 30-11 in game 3 of the 2021 playoffs with a 2-0 lead. We took Luka out, subbed Brunson in and kept Porzingis out there while keeping most of the starters in. Clippers went on a 19-2 run, and they had to foul to bring Luka back in. Even without Luka, Porzingis wasn’t that good. Even in the regular season when we had Porzingis play with Luka out with an “injury” (load management) he struggled. He’s a 3rd option at best when healthy
Hallo. im from Europe. I wish Doncic and Kristaps could have worked together. it think they make nice couple. but good luck to Kristaps in the Celtics. Irish love.
I really agree with you. It would be so fun to see them both play as a duo. Even though it didn't work out sadly, I think both are in great places at current
These coaches that never blame Luka are to the real danger for the future of the Mavs. You cannot dominate the ball like have an insane usage of 40-50% . No one has that and every teammate should be pissed off and not play defence because he is not involved in the game. This is what happened to KP and I am 100% this is happening to Kyrie. He doesnt get the ball and only when Luka is substituted then Kyrie shines. Coaches must shout and scream at Luka when he makes a turnover or takes wrong shots. Otherwise he aint gonna become better or get a ring. Also tell him to play defence, dive for loose balls, lower his feet, everything. No one wants to play for the Mavs except role players. No superstar will come here and never touch the ball. It's so obvious.
@@spidaa1717he’s talking about reaching that next level of success. Luka will have to mold his play style slightly if he wants to win a ring most years. It’s like Harden in Houston, they were great but not next level great. Even Kobe said it.
It’s crazy how I predicted Celtics getting him! Last season he absolutely torched us by hitting a ton of mid range shots. I told myself “man he would be perfect for the Celtics and I know he doesn’t want to stay in Washington!” Then I said Brad is pretty good with getting the right pieces I bet he will make a move to get Porzingis! Some months later I wake up and see. “Celtics acquired Porzingis!” I woke up so happy and then he gets Jrue. Now you’re just spoiling us! Can we give Brad Stevens his flowers!💐
They still aren't using him right. They are using him like he's just some average center. He's a better player than players like Myles Turner yet he gets way less Iso's to Create and Shots. Celtics need a Point guard. Tatum isn't a pg.
@@dafyyyyyy trying to be ghetto. tattos are ugly and trashy. it shows poor decision making. redick even cusses unnatural and he does it always in a negative sounding way. There is an art to cussing and most idiots like you don't know how. you have to use it in a positive way and it has to sound natural.
That’s straight up not true lol you don’t watch Mavs game at all. For the first 10 games or so, kyrie was dealing with injuries from preseason that made his scoring efficiency drop, so kyrie was a facilitator during that stretch. Kyrie was averaging almost 10 assist. When his shot started to comeback he started averaging like 25 pts a game. Sadly hes had more injuries this season now
@@bando6558 I watch every game and it is true. Kai barely gets any touches in the first quarter. Kidd said before the season that Kai would be bringing the ball up more and sharing the playmaking w Luka, that hasn’t happened. Get off his d.
@@notthatbad8you dont join a system and expect the system to mold to you. You become part of the previous system and if you expect something else go play iso ball for new york again…

Doc Rivers was a good coach but had hard time making adjustments. Tyronn Lue is really good at it, that's how Clippers made to WCF
@@TheKapei22 spo also got alot better at it! and sometimes u have to learn it the hard way, like 2011 where spo himself said he got outchoached easily by the mavs
yep the clippers went with batum at center to space the floor since they knew porzingis wasnt gonna punish them for their lack of size due to him standing in the corner. and it worked
I don't recall correctly but if Prozingis didn't get hurt on one of those series they would've won
A Jokic Interview will be a great episode
He asked and Jokic said no
Jokic dont do interviews he riding horses in serbia
Later when he retires maybe 😂
Nope
Crazy how self-reflective and mature Kristaps seems to be.
The thing is JJ was a role player in his final years. KP is near elite or second offensive option in that team, for a coach that doesnt use that option in an intelligent way... Huge mistake from Rick
KP definitely got his get back 😂💯
This interview changed how I perceived KP. He seems very mature now and has learned from his mistakes. He got rewarded with a chip and that’s what it’s all about.
love the mindset KP, been a long time for us since we've had a GOOD center
Robert Williams when healthy was a good center
Ya and he’s missed 1-3 of the season
I think doc told Tobias the samething last few seasons. He still forgets how to play sometimes as a result 😮 I mean he can play but he instinctively returns back to go in the corner a lot.
Doc is trash
Imagine being 7'3, getting paid millions to play professional basketball, and you finally make it to the playoffs. How would you feel, if you were told by the coach, that the BEST thing for the team, is for you to just get out of the way and stand in the corner?
He was soft in the paint and even from the 3 he wasn’t shooting good that season
@@romeoramirez1292 Everyone is soft in this league. The fact that he's even a capable 3 shooter, at 7'3, is saying something. I'm not defending him. Just saying that must be a tough pill to swallow.
@@romeoramirez1292the entire Dallas team was soft, he got his ring and Luka will never win one he’s too ball dominant
When I watched KP against my team this year, I was shocked at his transformation. He's so much more agile now.
He always been agile ur yappin bs
@@asasassone5543Thank you
He's healthy again
It really shows how the Celtics team/coaches really study what he can do, as a great player that he is, to move the team forward and win the championship
Now he is a Celtic and he has a title. Things just seemed to work out. We are very happy to have him in Boston. Boston is a complete team that plays team basketball. Check your ego at the door.
Love watching him play
Coach Rick Play and health of Kp affected their duo very mature Kp in answering that question hopefully he remains healthy they might win the Chip this year if he is healthy
rick lost both those series. Rick had the more Talented Rosters and the youngest team in the NBA
KP WAS IMMATURE. This dude was not following the coach's plays on purpose!!! how fucked up is that??
@@benyaminjameie the plays were going to lose by 30 points. shooting only threes isn't going to beat the Clippers. You have to post up on the Clippers to beat them. you're wrong cause clippers won with those plays mavs were doing. even though the Mavericks had a roster 5 times as good. KP was Mature to see the error of Carlisle and know that won't work. KP was RIGHT!!! TRUTH IS TRUTH Good coaches listen to their players and get the ball to their players in where they like to score the ball from.
@@benyaminjameie you're IMMATURE
@@benyaminjameie Threes NEVER WORK. Boston won't win this season either. Their coach is an idiot and using KP even worse than carlisle used him. KP said he just doesn't care anymore if it's bad basketball the coach has casue 37 million per year. Boston will lose in the second round cause their dumb coach only uses KP at half court. KP now just says Whatever I make 37 million per year if the coach wants to pay us that much to only shoot threes and probably lose is what it's about now. You will see that if KP posted up he would win every game. if he shoots 3's that team will lose every game. It's that simple.
Please get Derrick Rose on JJ!
No. Do one on Michael Finley the Father of the 00-11 Mavericks.
That would be nice. 2 of my favorites.
@@JimBrave-ri1ocSuck him off some more Jimmy 😭
As a Celts fan I was so worried Mazzulla would waste Kristaps by turning him into just a catch-and-shoot guy. I felt like he'd kinda ruined Grant Williams and Payton Pritchard during his first year coaching. Thankfully he learned and grew and did a beautiful job managing his talent all the way to a title.
1:20 "It has to be clear what the roles are..."
This is exactly why I believe that Basketball is flawed by design.
The positions are not as clear as a sport like American football or European football.
Basketball is a position-less sport, so emotional chemistry between players becomes very important.
In a sport like European football or American football "doing your job" can more easily overcome a lack of camaraderie, because "jobs" are more specialized and there is less overlap between "jobs."
This leads to a stronger sense of "we don't have to get long as long as we all do our jobs, then we will be okay."
Great point
Basketball isn't position less, stop repeating media driven narratives and try to think for yourself sometimes. You really think Trae Young could guard Embiid?
@@xDreMack
"You really think Trae Young could guard Embiid?"
-- Of course it would difficult for Trae Young to guard Embiid, but it is not because of Trae Young's position but his size.
I didn't claim basketball is a "size-less" sport.
lol
@@francmittelo6731 Great response
Two dumbass yappers going at it
The revival of porzingus has been great on the Celtics
He’s missed 1/3 of the season
Like Dirk, Kp and Marrkanen shouldn't be use exclusively as catch and shoot or else their great/good % will drop.
They should be played on different spots all game.
Please don’t compare the great Dirk Nowitzki to role players like Porzingis and Markanen. It’s a disservice to Dirk who carried the Mavs to 12 straight 50+ win seasons as the only superstar on his team.
@@fan4life if what you comprehended on my comment was Dirk = Kp/Marrkanen, then it's your fault. 😐Go back to school.
He couldn’t do anything else at the time. He literally couldn’t post up someone that was half his height and he was shooting below 30% from 3 and he was getting injured every couple games. He was never even apart of the offense bc he was barely there
They have to get the ball in ISO's to dribble, and Move to have Rhythm that is the only way to Have Rhythm for All Star 7 footers. Also it's Human Nature to play better defense and all around game if they ISO.
@@fan4life They are both All Stars. Had the Season been 82 games in 19-20 and 20-21 then the Mavs would've won 50+ Wins. KP was the reason.
He's 7'2 and Athletic he should be posting up by the Rim and it would help a team so much more.
He sucked that series
@@ysmkaray you sucked everynight and all night in that series.
KP was polled from the games and the coach was feuding with him. Cause he wanted to post up but the coach only wanted him to stand behind the 3 point line. KP is right. He payed just fine the coach just didn't want anyone to pass to him he still rebounded fine and blocked shots. the coach is stupid like you. you have never played basketball how do YOU score if YOU are 7'2 and the coach says don't pass to you. What do you do.
lmao Kristaps is scared to post up any actual center
@@zachnantz5304 Kristaps has been posting up on every center in the NBA since 2014! speak for yourself you're the only one that is scared to post up. you are SOFT zacharia. KP is the reason Boston is 10 games better this season than last at this point. You lied. you said marcus was better you LIAR. soft weak zacharia.
True sadly Derek Fisher went rogue during the season. He was getting the ball routinely in post when fisher was the coach. Soon as hornasech became coach he pushed him to the 3 pt line that been his game ever sense.
Yall saying this like it’s a story of revenge bro admitted he could of done a better job this is sports sometimes you have to take a back seat lmao it’s nice to see that he understands that now
Wild to admit he purposely didn’t do better because he was asked to do a lesser role play during that series. As a Mavs fan this is disappointing to hear. When no one wanted to touch this man due to his rape case and injuries. Mavs saw potential. Glad he no longer is on the team. He was a role player with the Celtics to win that chip but he’s injured again just from walking. That will be his only chip.
Then the Celtics got him and told him “KP it’s the finals, go stand on business”
And telling someone go stand in the corner is the exact explanation I give when I say all assists are not created equal and just because u have some assists doesn’t mean u made ur teammates better because they are not in the flow of the game offensively.
Had him n my fantasy team when he was in Washington he had a great season!
Could you do Lonzo Ball next? That'd be an awesome episode.
huh?
all he can talk about are his dad's expectations and sitting on a bench. you've picked the worst guest possible
You’re absolutely right he’d be a great guest hope JJ can make it happen
@@azel155 As well as: His intense injury situation, playing against his brother after all the hype, being teammates, rookie struggles, BBB, and much more
@@azel155injuries and toll on mental health, stories about lebron and the sudden expectations to win on the young Lakers core, fixing his awful shooting form and becoming a great spot up shooter, defense, playmaking, being the 1 seed in Chicago while anchoring a defense as the PG, his brothers specifically melo and what that competitive nature was like growing up, Alan foster stealing millions from them, that’s plenty for an episode.
No wtf that dude hasnt played in like 2 years. Maybe if he makes a good comeback.
JJ might be one of the most emotionally intelligent interviewers I've ever seen. And I've seen 10s of thousands of interviews in my life. I'm too tired to elaborate on what I mean. Just trust me
Wrong
Him and luka just wasn’t meant to be on the same team. It happens, the NBA essentially wrote off porzingus as a has been ever since he left the mavs. I’m glad the Celtics believed in him, all he needed was the right situation to be great in. I never forgot or doubted his abilities, I knew he was always just in bad situations from the day he was drafted unfortunately.
Naw wrote him off after the knicks tbh
Once a Knick always a Knick. Happy for KP finding the right fit.
Knicks are gonna be the Celtics' biggest competition in the coming years. Handshake to a great team.
When the Celtics traded for Porzingis and Holiday. I knew there were in serious contention. And now KP, is a champion. So happy for him.
JJ, shooting 3 for 7 from 3 is not bad tho 😂
snuck that lil humble brag in there
Depending on the looks he had. If he takes 7 wide open threes and makes 3 I'm sure he'd be disappointed in himself
@@HooksyCollinsyeah every shot isn’t the same.
He didn’t specify that it was only 3’s.
@@HooksyCollins 3 of 7 is all time great to do that everygame. But that is not a COMPLETE GAME. That is just one part of the game. Would 5 Hubert Davis win the Championship cause he could go 4 for 7 every game on threes. Doesn't mean he would win the Championship cause there are more to the gme like posting up rebounding, defense, passing, dribbling. Scoring in must have baskets. Which still to this day no 3 point shooter can do. Caue they would have to be 100% everytime which not Curry or Kerr are.
They just wanted him to be something that he wasn't a 7'2 spot up 3 point shooter. He's just simply not that as a player. He's a Post up player that teams should run offense through Close to the basket with post ups, Flash Post ups, and Mid Range post ups. Also on pick and pop from mid range or 3. He should be in movement plays around the basket cause he can get easy shots up over them and also he can gain rhythm that way. It balances the floor aswell. He can draw doubles there too and pass off.
KP could not take advantage of smaller guys guarding him on post ups at all… it would be frustrating to watch back then as a Mavs fan.
@@ericrios0987 He did many times and was WORKING AT THAT ALL OF HIS YOUNG CARER THEN he proves he was Ready with the Mavs.
The problem with idiots that don't like Kristaps is that they think for some reason he was supposed to be a finished product at age 18. He averaged 13 in the lane with the Mavs in 20 then 14 pts and 21. then 16pts in 22. he was getting better each game he got the ball then all of a sudden the coaches got in a fight with him and said they don't want to shoot layups anymore they only want half court shots. Cause during the searson which I watched every game. KP was getting the ball close to the rim and scoring over everyone especially smaller defenders that aren't good like you.
he was with the Wizards and averaged 18 in the lane over any kind of defender. and he shot 50% for the season.
Bruh, if you've been watching the Mavs games when KP was in, you'll see how he's been useless. Can't rebound, always doing his turn around jumper and bricking it, and can't take advantage of mismatch. Opposing teams put guards on him and he can't take advantage of it hence Rick putting him in the corner.
Yo where has Tommy been?
Making him play the post is a great way to make sure he isn’t healthy come playoff time. He’s too soft for all of that
Porzingis finally found his perfect role. He’s to injury prone to be a reliable 1 or 2. I think him now as a third or 4th option or 5th option on that team that’s perfect for him. If you can afford all those high priced dudes they have now.
Just think how deadly the pick&roll game would be with Luka and KP if Luka had the humility to use it instead of iso.
That's the problem of playing with ball dominant players like Luka or LeBron. You either accept you ain't seeing the ball except in kick outs or you can't really play with them.
plus lebron is toxic and never been able to back it up thats why he choked 6 finals
Mavs let go of Brunson and KP. Crazy moves
He's the champ now
Stand in corner is crazy 😂😂
Especially when he’s 7’2”
This gives a lot more context to why he was so nonexistent that series.
Go stand in the corner is funny af
😂😂😂😂😂 title got me 💀
Now he’s a nba champ
Dude is crazy good at English
Luka needs to center who doesn’t need the ball in his hands. These days most elite bigs have a bag and it’s tough for them to stomach just being a lob threat, nothing else.
KP actually gets shooting opportunities in Boston unlike in Dallas
he does have that, 2 of them. its not looking good so far.
Look how hes playing in Boston now, Mavs werent utilizing him properly.
And then didn’t pay Brunson smh,
Bro really a beast…Glad he got traded ..waiting on Lauri Markennen to get traded now 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
JJ could we get a Jason Kapono interview. Hes a forgotten sniper and one of my favourite raptors.
i came to see you last season, i liked that team pretty well, this season going to see the wizards, not to so much
I wonder if KP gave Luka any type of undercover looks or winks to rub it in. I would, but I'm not a 7'3 millionaire, so he might be less petty.
We need episode with I.T
if you look deep into it, standing on the corner post a threat to the opposing team. even if you not 9/9. this make the defense twice to DT. to a person who ready pull that trigger shot. most game are not win by big margin. they are won be 2 or 4 point lead. making 3's is the factor of that. if you are in that situation. feel comfortable and train to shoot over bigger defender. try to shoot the best you can and just do the best defense you can on the other side.
Go stand in the corner is crazy for a prime 20ppg all star 😂😂😂
He got injured leaving Luka alone when it mattered the most first and then the next year he refused to play hard in defense. And after that he came back afraid to give it all in defense, from being a good rim protector to being an overpaid liability that couldn't defend even against mediocre centers in the league.
You can't demand respect of the team if you don't fulfill the role you are getting paid for, and even less blaming the coaching staff or Luka who got to battle a full healthy Clippers ALONE 2 times in a row because the guy that is being paid like a superstar is butthurt that the young guy is performing better.
And now what?
@@richardfinney2548 Now changes nothing, it is quite easy to perform when you got 2 Allstars, 2 all Def players 1 of them former champ and all-star, and you don't even need to perform or even play to get to the NBA finals.
Change KP for any of the top centers and they would be the same if not better.
He showed he could not handle the co-star role. And this year once again he wasn't available until the finals... GL if you had needed him in the previous rounds... Just as DAL needed since they didn't have such a complete and deep roster.
@@francesccampos1343 celtics in 4. good luck to ur fanboi luka LOL
@@kevinchang7497 BOS was the #1 contender all season long, no shame in losing to them, they have 2 allstars, 2 former allstars (1 of them former champ) and 2 all def players.
DAL needs to learn and improve from this no matter the outcome, BOS lost against GSW and Heat, yet here they are.
My statement about KP keeps being the same, he wasn't there for 3 round in PO, you can't do that when you are #1 or #2 option, he is just lucky that BOS is such a deep team that they can handle playing wo him and even wo Tatum performing like a superstar since they have at least 3 other players that can take over a game (J.Brown, Jrue, D,White).
Hey thats what Kevin Young is telling the whole Suns bench to do now
How long before Lebron has JJ fired?
Luka needed a Tyson chandler not a Dirk it was never gonna work. Clean up on the boards block shots and catch lobs glad kp fits right into my Celtics things happen for a reason. #banner18
?
JJ Reddick Lonzo Ball your next guest 🙏🙏🙏
To say that KP owed it to Mavs for how they treated him is the same as saying Kyrie owed it to Celtics for the way Boston treated him. I saw when KP was on bench in game 4, he had the same look when he was in dallas. Pouting for not getting his way. I wonder how close Boston leaders came to telling him to get over himself that day. I’m sure Tatum and Brown were frustrated that day too and KP was unwilling to stand up during time outs.

Keep in mind Rick also ruined Dennis Smith Jr also. If he didn't like you he wouldn't try to involve you or your skillset
Rick used to be a good coach 10 years ago
Bad coaching leads to bad attitude from the players.
But, sure. Blame the player for being frustrated that he's not being used the way he KNOWS he can be. That's why Washington whipped Dallas every time they played, and now KP's with Boston and is having a great season!!
So i dont understand porzingus, u dont want to be on the block, hanging and banging in the post. So they tell you to stay outside and shoot threes and u dont want to do that either? Your not setting screens for anyone and you cant put the ball on the floor so what do you want?
Gotta talk about refs. Missed obvious questions about refs with Adam Silver last time. Gotta ask these tough questions JJ
What, and get him fined?
HJ just admitted to shooting like a plumber 😢
I don't know now because their coach during that time was Rick Carlisle.
Dear Luka haters, Mavs were up 30-11 in game 3 of the 2021 playoffs with a 2-0 lead. We took Luka out, subbed Brunson in and kept Porzingis out there while keeping most of the starters in. Clippers went on a 19-2 run, and they had to foul to bring Luka back in.
Even without Luka, Porzingis wasn’t that good. Even in the regular season when we had Porzingis play with Luka out with an “injury” (load management) he struggled. He’s a 3rd option at best when healthy
Cry now 😂😂😂😂

I really agree with you. It would be so fun to see them both play as a duo. Even though it didn't work out sadly, I think both are in great places at current
Hallo
These coaches that never blame Luka are to the real danger for the future of the Mavs. You cannot dominate the ball like have an insane usage of 40-50% . No one has that and every teammate should be pissed off and not play defence because he is not involved in the game. This is what happened to KP and I am 100% this is happening to Kyrie. He doesnt get the ball and only when Luka is substituted then Kyrie shines. Coaches must shout and scream at Luka when he makes a turnover or takes wrong shots. Otherwise he aint gonna become better or get a ring. Also tell him to play defence, dive for loose balls, lower his feet, everything. No one wants to play for the Mavs except role players. No superstar will come here and never touch the ball. It's so obvious.
Luka clears KP . Tell KP to play like a big instead of a shooter that can't rebound. Injury prone bum
dude, you need to chill. First, shave your long beard and get a life
@@spidaa1717he’s talking about reaching that next level of success. Luka will have to mold his play style slightly if he wants to win a ring most years. It’s like Harden in Houston, they were great but not next level great. Even Kobe said it.

@@frankiethefrog1752Problem is that no coach he's had has the guts to tell him that.
It’s crazy how I predicted Celtics getting him! Last season he absolutely torched us by hitting a ton of mid range shots. I told myself “man he would be perfect for the Celtics and I know he doesn’t want to stay in Washington!” Then I said Brad is pretty good with getting the right pieces I bet he will make a move to get Porzingis! Some months later I wake up and see. “Celtics acquired Porzingis!” I woke up so happy and then he gets Jrue. Now you’re just spoiling us! Can we give Brad Stevens his flowers!💐
They still aren't using him right. They are using him like he's just some average center. He's a better player than players like Myles Turner yet he gets way less Iso's to Create and Shots. Celtics need a Point guard. Tatum isn't a pg.

That’s straight up not true lol you don’t watch Mavs game at all. For the first 10 games or so, kyrie was dealing with injuries from preseason that made his scoring efficiency drop, so kyrie was a facilitator during that stretch.
