Luka was/is not the best “all around” player in those finals. He was the most efficient scorer. Overall, he cannot do what JT/JB do on both sides of the ball. Tell me I’m BSn’
Wtf is she talking about 😢 keep telling people we are not seeing what we are seeing. Best all around player is BS. I loose respect for reporters who like her who do bs like that
Luka wasn’t even the most “efficient” scorer on his team. Maybe he scored more points, but… 24% from three, atrocious 58% from the free throw line, 47% field goal percentage. Not elite efficiency at all.
101 gsmes, including playoffs..and the 23-24 Boston Celtics had a 20 point lead in 50 of those games. Half of their games they had a 20 pt lead..in a league with great talent, and that talent distributed very well. If you don't know..that shit is insane!
Maybe check out clippers OKC and wolves series .His defense and multiple stopps in clutch time won the mavs games.He leads the playoffs in steals and rebounds for a reason
I get it now...All these people dogging the Cs watched only their teams and somehow thought they were the greatest and unbeatable. The west was weak. @RobMoreno-mw5uq
@@smoke8643 are you deluded ? He had bad games in the finals but he also had a dozen of great games in the playoffs also his defense won them games and my comment was a reply to luka doesnt play any defense.He also played good defense in game 4 in the finals tho it was the only one in the final.I never said he is a great defensiv player even tho his defense was elite at times and overall improved his defense this season
This was a great podcast by the beautiful Rachel Nichols and Boogie Cousins.. finally some unbiased and excellent talk on the Celtics. After watching this episode I subscribed right away.🍀🏆💯
When picking the Mavericks in the Finals, "what were these people looking at?" [3:45] When we are evaluating anything, we make comparisons and use measuring sticks. The challenge is when the measuring stick is broken, in this case somewhat literally. The issue is that most people stay with binary thinking, when tertiary thinking could be much more effective. Between the "weak Eastern Conference" and the "cake-walk through the East playoffs", the measuring stick of the two records, 64-18 and 14-2 was suspicious. Most people considered two options: 1. The Celtic are as good as their record. 2. Their record is complete smoke, and they are a weak team. It was difficult for most to try Door #3, 3. The Celtics are really good, and we need more information decide just how good. Going into the Finals, those picking the third option made the best Finals prediction: "I'll let you know after Game 1." This also included the Porziņģis question, "How much would he be able to contribute?" While there are times when we need to choose an option with limited information, without waiting for more, this was not really one of those. We aren't ER doctors having to treat a patient immediately. We're more like the orthopedic specialist who can say, "Come back next week and we'll reevaluate."
Yes, Boogie not only have the big body to bully ball Jokic, but he is also a shooter....perfect for a back-up center, insurance if and when KP gets injured. Here is a showcase of his triple threat on the court. th-cam.com/video/hUBR9-rXIgc/w-d-xo.html
I am pleasantly surprised by Demarcus' skilled as a analyst. He is mild-mannered, articulate, intelligent, and unbiased in his assessments of all the topics presented by Rachel. I would like to see more of the going back and forth with NBA topics with these 2. Really enjoyed this whole segment. I agree with 90% of their takes. Looking forward to the next one.

I have to admit seeing Demarcus like this is a nice change of pace he used to drive me crazy it's no secret he was a hothead and out of control. But over the years he seem to have matured and it's nice to see him calm relaxed and well-spoken.
I think what personified this series was that play where Holiday put the clamps 🗜️ on Irving on the baseline . Made them work for everything to a point where they were exhausted
People so jealous of luka and the mavs or just salty their team got beaten.They even try to steal the inside jokes and memes.Luka leads the playoffs in points rebound steal assists.Luka destroyed the suns on his own brown had a 10 ppint game and needed 8 great players
I agree brother! How about Celtics sign DeMarcus Cousins? I think, Boogie still has it....and can still be a formidable threat both defensively and offensively. Hope this small opinion of mine can reach Brad Stevens...probably another X-Factor in Boogie towards Banner 19! 🙂👊

Yep everyone loved Kyrie during the Timberwolves series.. now all I see are negative headlines and comments about him. Really cool how quickly people forget about the good season and playoff series he had up until the Celtics. People really are prisoners of the moment
The Cleveland cavs were lucky because not just they had injured players our starting center was injured. The Indiana Pacers were lucky even though Halliburton missed some time our starting center missed all 4 games. The Dallas mavericks were lucky they had their whole team and our starting center only played 1 full game. I don't hear ppl calling out these non adversity facing teams
They threw game 4.... no way in hell the Celts shoot 20%, they wanted to win at home on the anniversary of the 08 win on 6/17.. Area code 617 and someone brought up to me 08 was the first and this year 24, what a way to celebrate Kobe too by JT
"Wonder kid" = Rachel outing herself that she hasn't seen Ted Lasso. RACHEL, watch Ted Lasso!! It's better than the Sudeikis character makes it look. Bingeworthy series.
I think the West has better big man and more versatile big men and that makes for tougher competition in terms of team hoops, but when it comes to, “give up the rock and somebody score” the East got it for sure
So the West was looked at as stronger, the hustle of these teams weeded out their best,their best got swept in a gentlemans sweep by the East. Saying the East was weaker is a cop out, the Pacers played a much harder series against the Celtics then the Mavs did. The best team in the West,was the Nuggets, until they lost to a weak Mavericks team.
His Podcast is better than yall's rn..so why would he pick up and move away from where he can get guests on his show??? Classic case of Math ain't Mathin!!!
Now Rachel, you were on Undisputed talking about the Mavs were going to win and the Celtics hadn't been tested in the playoffs. Singing a whole different tune now. Just say you were wrong about them
Luka is not an all around better player he's was the better offensive player in my opinion all around means both sides of the court offense and defense, Luka is all offense.

Rachel was blunt about her having Boston over the Mavs before the series started 😅

They won 30 games by 25+!!!🏆
& 3 games by 50+ 💀
Rachel has the best listening head shake in the business
🤣🤣🤣
That’s not at all she has the best of…
If KP has a healthy playoff run next season........ Watch out
Or if Tatum wants to play so much better than Jalen Brown in the playoffs and finals. Watch out.
Love the honesty from two unbiased, informed people
So Luka the best all around player or offensive player? Because she said all around if you believe that your delusional just like her
Love listening to people that don’t just spew nonsense thank you
Love Rachel’s new hair color. Suits her well, girl you glowing.
Rachel is beautiful
How is Luka the best overall player on the court when he doesn’t play any defense lol

They won the title on the anniversary of their last title. Also 6/17 is the area code of Boston.

Hope this show comes back this season
Celtics were 38-8 against the west this year including the finals
Boogie been a real one all season when talking about the Celtics…one of the media members
I think what personified this series was that play where Holiday put the clamps 🗜️ on Irving on the baseline . Made them work for everything to a point where they were exhausted
So Luka helped Jaylen Brown win a ring and Finals MVP as a late Father’s Day gift huh? So wholesome!
not following your “logic”
Booker's grandpa
Kyrie didn't?
People so jealous of luka and the mavs or just salty their team got beaten.They even try to steal the inside jokes and memes.Luka leads the playoffs in points rebound steal assists.Luka destroyed the suns on his own brown had a 10 ppint game and needed 8 great players
Luka should go back to broke ass Slovenia
Rachel u was part of that espn lol
I would look for a center, to help out Al Horford and that K.P. can't stay healthy

Could be that both sets of people exist on the internet and that different voices seem amplified per situation
Thanks boogie and Rachel for picking Celtics to win this year ❤️☘️🏀🏆🍾💍no one did but your guys so thanks 🙂
They are very good team and their big two are awesome
Dmac is smart and has good basketball IQ
They beat who was put in front of them and they beat them down all year long
Horford has won back to back natty championships, he knows how to repeat!!
37:24 The desire to poop but play ball..... Could you expound further on this concept Rachel?
2016 Warriors blew a 3-1 lead and lost
Hear me out guys! but Rachel can get it!
They threw game 4,you can say it, winning at home was what was important.
The Cleveland cavs were lucky because not just they had injured players our starting center was injured.
The Indiana Pacers were lucky even though Halliburton missed some time our starting center missed all 4 games.

Lucky for luka he has kyrie to show him how to trim down(eating habits and all), fit for next season.
C's should get Boogie!
Everyone forgetting about Indiana. If Indiana beat Boston they smoke the Mavs. Indiana was number one scoring team in the league

Rachel Nicholas is delusional if she thinks Luka is a all around player 😢😅
Boston over cap 2 seasons in a row.
Dwight and boogie should get picked up by Boston imo
Lol whose here for chris fucking Haynes lol mans was so confident in the mavs ROLF
Anybody Who KNOWS HOOPS Knew The Celtics Where Gonna Beat the Mavs..Jaylen Brown Looked Like Jordan Out There.. 😂🤣
How is it not obvious they threw game 4?
Definitely obvious 😂

AlL tHe iNjURiEs Porzingas

Is Rachel on that Ozem ? She looking good
She always looks good.
When you get very small amounts of fillers and Botox it can look really natural. I think that’s part of it. She’s also just naturally pretty
I bet getting fired from ESPN is like breaking up with that toxic ex and you're immediately motivated to lose weight and get hot again lol
KP needs to bulk up, most 7+footers will suffer with health problems through their life.
I guess defense doesnt matter.
How can you be the best player when your team absolutely lost because of your GLARING deficiencies?
Boston definitely blew Game 4 on purpose 😂
🎉
Did Rachel just ask if Klay is an upgrade over Giddey! Disrespect!!!!
the league better pray luka dont come back in shape 36 10 and 10 already thats crazy
Rachel Nicholas is a hater and she is super biased.. maybe because she picked Dallas to win it all 😅😅
Stop with Luka being the better player bs I would not take him over jt or jb he don't play defense
The Jrue trade didn’t cost the bucks anything, they were hurt
ball season is over. Nothing to watch now, arrrrgh.
Nope will never like Boston, especially this team.
