1) Its is not the only walk of buzz beater in NBA history MJ did it against the Cavs with the shot on Elo but that was a best of 5 KL is the only to occur in a 7 game series. 2) The Mavericks won over 60 games and lost to the Barron Davis warriors team in the first round. That was the best team not to make the finals.
Dom see dome I disagree with you at the end because this is a pretty easy series for the warriors.. raptors beat teams who’s stars choked.. embiid got relegated to a star, Tobias was a no show, and Simmons was inconsistent.. jimmy butler looked like their best player.. same with bucks where Middleton looked terrible, Bledsoe did not show up, brogdan wasn’t 100%.. this caused giannis to get more attention and destroyed.. raptors play directly in what warriors specialize at.. teams reliant on one man stars.. Steph isn’t a defensive liability against anyone but kawhi on the court.. klay, draymond and igoudala are going to be the best perimeter defenders kawhi has gone against in the playoffs so far.. and the way the warriors movement on offense means kawhi won’t be able to rest on defense.. plus kawhi isn’t 100% and he’s slowly deteriorating.. the raptors look like they’re just happy to be here by their reactions.. it’s not really a championship attitude..all warriors are coming in this series 100%.. you have to rely on kawhi to give you Steph levels of production offensively (around 30 a game) using isos on klay draymond and iggy while also giving you his Normal defensive production and even then expect Lowry and siakim to give you klay and draymond levels of production.. warriors in 5-6
Dom I think they came out with info on DeMarcus Cousins yesterday He practiced fully with the team and should probably start game 1 or 2 at worst unless something changes
Kawhi is clearly one of those players who leaves it ALL out on the court something you can't say about other players. So it annoys me when people try to call him a quitter and soft for resting.
I think it really started when news stations started talking sh**. "A Bucks vs Warriors Finals would go like this". Didn't do one for the Raptors. They were like "We ain't making the Finals? Okay, we'll see."
@@tbc9652 No it's not, people been talking shit about the Raptors for years now. Remember the Leronto Raptors, that was just last year. The Raptors just made the better adjustment by putting Kawhi on Giannis, which should've been happening since Game 1. Better hope he stays in the offseason.
The Bucks' and Raptors' win-loss record this season was only a 2 game difference 60 to 58. I don't get why people took it for granted that the Bucks would/should win or that the Raptors winning is major upset.
tony tonyt LeBron is no longer in the East because he is no longer in the East. He can be the greatest East Player of all time, but he isn’t the King. That’s like saying after a king abandons him kingdom and a new one rises, that the past one is still the king. That’s not how it works.
Kawhi has guarded KD pretty well over the years. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility when you look how well the rockets did against the warriors last year or a team like the clippers this year. The raptors honestly match better than most teams just because they have 2 two players at the positions you need against Golden State...PG and SF. And with the Raptors ability to hit 3s and play defense along with a better bench I don't think it will be a 4 or 5 game series like people think.
KDs last ur in okc he dropped 40 on his head to lead the team to the wcf... Not only that but kd has embraced the same thing that made kobe such a hard matchup playing off his emotions.
@@OffTopicKamah that 1 50 point effort was in a loss so i'm confused by that statement he never beat KD when he has the better record matchup over their careers.
Kawhi is so interesting because most nba greats of this generation have a player you can compare them to but I can't think of a player Kawhi compares to the best. I would say he is closest to playing like MJ, but not as close as Kobe was though, they all have killer instinct in them but Kawhi is just a silent leader.
Honestly, Sixers v Raptors should’ve been the ecf. I feel like the sixers are a more dynamic team that has players that can do more with the ball than the bucks. Sixers are kind of unfortunate running into the Kyrie-less Celtics and then the raptors in back to back years

Legendary Titan Eh maybe. He’s definitely the best in these playoffs, but I feel like he either needs to beat the warriors or have another season of dominance to really establish himself. Honestly it just feels weird how we’ve been jumping all over from lebron to curry to KD to kind of giannis to now kawhi. We’ve kind of forgotten about the first three with KD injured/hated, lebron not being in the playoffs and being harped on by the media, and curry sharing the rock with four other stars.
I’ve been waiting for a rematch against the Raptors all season after they won those 2 games in the season. Warriors are hungry, more hungry than people think.
Raps won in 6, in game 6, in the 6. Last time the Warriors lost? 2016. Turn the 6 upside down issa 9 now. Raptors 2019 NBA CHAMPS 🧢🚫. Remember this comment.
That Bob Meyers thing doesn't make much sense to me. As shown in many times throughout NBA history, even role players tend to explode for 1 game in the post season because they aren't scouted, properly at least. That thing only applies to star players
If you're a great team. Everybody is scouted properly. Because one player doesnt make a team great. Its a TEAM. But it's impossible to exploit the weakness of all 15 players on the roster. It's pointless anyway. You take out the head of the team and the body follows (in most cases)
15:51 THANK YOU, GS plays one series against Portland aka GS lite without nurkic and now ppl saying they don't need KD. Gonna be a lot of backtracking during this final series
Cousins gotta be out for the season, you don't tear a quad and come back a couple weeks later GSW gotta be sandbagging saying "Cousins is closer than KD"
Kawhi is the best player who played in the playoffs Kawhi so great but imo lebron is still best in league lebron just got hit with a mediocre team with Brandon Ingram as and best player
@@YoungJustice222 you also have to take into account that Kawhi had lowkey siakam and a good coach with good management you cant just look at a player and say oh he didnt win therefore hes bad
Honestly Kawhi is the best player in the league. He's not KD in the scoring area but he's in that realm and his defense just puts him above anybody else while his offense just already much better than anybody else. He put Giannis on a poster multiple times even with an injury.
I think Giannis' defense has been a bit overrated. Most of what he gets is due to athleticism and biology rather than IQ. While Kawhi's lenght and big hands are a big part of his defense, he makes incredible reads in defense.
The Eastern Conference Round 2 and the Finals were the most interesting, entertaining and *competitive* series of games we have seen for a few years now...
The only reason people are saying the Warriors are heavy favourites is so that they can bash them even harder if they lose. I really think this series is 50-50.
4:49 this off-season is gonna be crucial. Just like how the 1989 off season was crucial for Michael Jordan after losing to the Pistons and how he came back every year better than the year before
Waking up with a massive hangover right now and finding that last night in Toronto wasn't a dream, either that or the Matrix is permanently glitched...man, the love this city has for DeRozan, and the love this place has for our King in the North, the NEW King of the East. I don't have words. I woke up and immediately kept crying bro. No shame admitting that. I used to tutor kids since I was 14 years old to pay for PS2 games and buy tickets in the nosebleeds for the Raptors. I can't believe we're here man. I can't believe it. Wherever Kawhi goes next year, tbh, he's got to do whats right for him and his family because he's already done everything he can do for this city and this team.
The Raptors bench was a major help to offset Kawhi’s 44% shooting - Fred VV & Norman Powell came up big in moments. And idk what’s going on with Kawhi injury wise but hopefully he can go 100% without hurting himself more.
@7:18 The only GAME 7 walk-off playoff series winning buzzer beater, did you forget Dame Time vs OKC? A 37ft playoff buzzer beater walk-off series winner.
Honestly the raptors are a really deep team with arguably the best player in the league and one all star with another borderline one as well as Marc gasol. If Kevin Durant doesent play that gives them the advantage. I’m saying Warriors in 4.
@Anthony Mercado I admit I called for a sweep against the magic, but the game 1 curse, plus playoff Lowry cheese hit us. I called for sixers in 6, but history had to rewrite itself. Bucks nah the everybody and they momma, the media and all said we were done, and now they all quite.
One thing you forgot to mention is how the raptors as a team played WAAAAY better against the bucks . If the raptors played that well against the 76er s, the sixers probably would of lost in 5 Games to be honest with you . but none the less , gianas was too young . Middleton greatly under performed. Dont think he should get paid big
Maybe it's only one year, who knows. All I know is I won't hold whatever he decides to do against him, man left it all out there on the court for this team and I'll forever appreciate these memories of this season. Hoping for more to come.
All of Toronto is hungover today I can tell you that for free. You should’ve seen downtown lastnight, the bars and streets were literally filled to capacity until 4 or 5 am. My mom hasn’t watched a single basketball game in years and she’s even circling game days on her calendar. Raptors have this city and country lit! Kawhi is a no joke ting!
The only thing about the post game comment is that it's not an absence of it, but going away from it. The first 2-3 months, Giannis included some post game to his arsenal. But once he started dunking on the entire league, he went away from it. He just needs to return to the post every now and then. He does that and gets a jumpshot, then its over (assuming MIL somehow retains its roster)
I think the Finals will be interesting. KD’s health is in question, we have no idea where Boogie is, Kawhi is defying his injury, Toronto appears to have more size than GS, but they’re highly inconsistent and yeah, the rest of the Raptors tend to defer and watch. Idk how bad that’ll hurt me against the Warriors. Can’t wait for Thursday.
If I were Giannis I would hate that MVP trophy. Sucks to get owned like that. You kinda figure if Kawhi had played those 22 games he took off for load management than he would have easily taken the trophy
Everyone told me after Houston lost to GS that "Harden cant be MVP because he choked and lost in 6".. Even though he averaged his regular season numbers against GS. Giannis ACTUALLY choked in this series, but I dont hear anyone saying he shouldnt be MVP for it...
As a bucks fan it’s sad to see them lose. This Bucks playoff run did great things in the city, and guaranteed Giannis is getting a jump shot this summer. I’m curious to see if MKE is interesting to free agents now
Dame Lillard in the Thunder Jersey 😂😂😂 but Giannis needs and solid 3 point shot. If he had more of a long range shot it expands his game and keeps him from relying mostly on scoring in the paint/post. Also he already draws multiple defenders, if he can bring them out to the perimeter because their worried about him hitting that 3, it’ll open up more driving lanes for easy buckets.
The winner of the series is who's best player can go off Steph is going to need to torch and light the Raptors up. He needs to play like he has something to prove to the world that I can wheel a team to the championship and I'm not a Choker.
@@max-hy6iuLeBron is compared to Jordan, usually 2nd only to. after 1 year are we really comparing Kawhi to Jordan? there is no king right now, its a free for all.
@@Kipple-wp7pd yeah LeBron is comparable to Jordan, I was more talking about the fact that LeBron is out of the east means that he isn't king anymore like how Jordan isnt king anymore. To me the king of the east is who performs best in the playoffs you could even have a different "king" every year. LeBron had a long reign as king as he was consistently the best player in the east however this year kawhi is the best player and so I consider him "king of the east".
First Kawhi is not necessarily the better player just more complete , Giannas if guarded by One person will score more efficient or at least would be harder to guard and the defender would probably have to use more energy . For Kawhi it just depends if his shots goes in . Giannas can just get a layup .
Giannis is 24 and he took the Bucks from barely making the playoffs to competing heavily in the Conference Finals. He will be fine. This season wasn't a disappointment in totality, only on the expectations they set themselves during the regular season. If Kawhi never got traded from the Spurs, Giannis would be king of the East and in the Finals. Kawhi is the only player in the league that can defend him.
I'm a Bucks fan . I don't expect this to happen again for my Bucks . Next year everyone else will be better . This hurt because this was our chance . 19 years is when we got this far . I just don't see it happening again . I also don't expect Giannis to stay . I don't see a reason why he would stay . I'm not being a prisoner of the moment . I just don't see the Bucks getting past Toronto . Well salute to Toronto . Giannis is not ready . When he gets ready it won't be in Milwaukee . But like I said salute to Toronto . I'm a Bucks fan when or lose . Also great channel . Salute Toronto the better team and player won .
Kawhi is staying in toronto because he is good at making snow balls and he loves the winter, and he is half bear, and he is a very fun guy and likes fun people like serge ibaka.
This is the first time the Warriors don't have homecourt advantage in the Finals during this dynasty run. That's a huge difference. And since KD is out for the start of the Finals, they can put Kawhi on Steph, Green on Thompson. Those 2 guys are amazing defenders. The Raptors bigs outmatch the Warriors bigs, even if Cousins returns at some point. Powell and VanVleet have stepped up. Raptors in 5
I don't think Curry has had many problems with Kawhi. And I don't think they should start Green in this series he's been absolute ass. They might have Kawhi on Klay and then do the Rockets defense for Curry. Obviously game 1 is a feelout game, but I'd have that be my game plan while also making sure Looney doesn't go off. Draymond can get his triple doubles though.
@@risersin7957 They'll probably start Green because of his defense and because he's one of only 3 guys with Finals experience on the team. If not Leonard on Curry, then I could see them putting Green on Curry and Kawhi on Klay. And Siakam is more physically threatening to Draymond than Aminu so I think he'll be less productive.
I actually think Raptors win this with or without KD. With the warriors perimeter threat, there has to be a lot of switching involved in defence, kawhi, green, siakam can switch 1-4 to match up with curry, Thompson, iguodala(Durant) and green, and Lowry is an underrated perimeter defender. The only problem with raptors is in offense , if they execute , kawhi does his thing, Pascal gives 15, Marc gasol actually bullies looney, green hits a couple of 3s and Lowry score more than 5...it's a championship for them don't forget, defence wins championships. Just my opinion

I used to tutor kids since I was 14 years old to pay for PS2 games and buy tickets in the nosebleeds for the Raptors. I can't believe we're here man. I can't believe it. Wherever Kawhi goes next year, tbh, he's got to do whats right for him and his family because he's already done everything he can do for this city and this team.
The Raptors bench was a major help to offset Kawhi’s 44% shooting - Fred VV & Norman Powell came up big in moments.
And idk what’s going on with Kawhi injury wise but hopefully he can go 100% without hurting himself more.
@7:18 The only GAME 7 walk-off playoff series winning buzzer beater, did you forget Dame Time vs OKC? A 37ft playoff buzzer beater walk-off series winner.
That was Game 5
I know, but he said Kawhi’s shot was the only playoff series winning walk off buzzer beater, Dame’s was a game 5, Kawhi’s was game 7.
Honestly the raptors are a really deep team with arguably the best player in the league and one all star with another borderline one as well as Marc gasol. If Kevin Durant doesent play that gives them the advantage. I’m saying Warriors in 4.
One Referee this joke is old
Kawhi is a better King of the North than Jon Stark
Who is Jon Stark? I keep hearing that name
game of thrones character
SPOILERS:
You mean aegon targaryen
Shut up you fat fuck !
Lowry the definition of loyalty he deserves this the most if only derozan were still here to have been apart of this 😞 they were my favorite duo
*a part*
Bucks Instagram called a sweep 🤷🏾♂️
I mean, Canadian sweep right? Raptors gave up 2 games because of that politeness. The Bucks got the brooms out and Kawhi stole them.
@@ANTICENA571 Giannis AintWinningInToronto still sweeping his greek yogurt off the court
@Anthony Mercado I admit I called for a sweep against the magic, but the game 1 curse, plus playoff Lowry cheese hit us. I called for sixers in 6, but history had to rewrite itself. Bucks nah the everybody and they momma, the media and all said we were done, and now they all quite.
@Yes Just hope he stays major injury free. Especially with his aggressive playstyle.
Who’d have thought the Raptors would backsweep the Bucks? A team that hasn’t lost 3 games in a row this season.
One thing you forgot to mention is how the raptors as a team played WAAAAY better against the bucks . If the raptors played that well against the 76er s, the sixers probably would of lost in 5 Games to be honest with you . but none the less , gianas was too young . Middleton greatly under performed. Dont think he should get paid big
Maybe it's only one year, who knows. All I know is I won't hold whatever he decides to do against him, man left it all out there on the court for this team and I'll forever appreciate these memories of this season. Hoping for more to come.
What is the instrumental for the intro, it's so dope
Adam Brothers facts
9:51 wtf is that🤮
Kawhi Leonard is a god
This is such a strange time capsule made smack between the kevin durant injuries and right before klay went down. Crazy
All of Toronto is hungover today I can tell you that for free. You should’ve seen downtown lastnight, the bars and streets were literally filled to capacity until 4 or 5 am. My mom hasn’t watched a single basketball game in years and she’s even circling game days on her calendar. Raptors have this city and country lit! Kawhi is a no joke ting!
This series is definitely gonna be competitive lmao. Have y’all been watching Toronto?
The only thing about the post game comment is that it's not an absence of it, but going away from it. The first 2-3 months, Giannis included some post game to his arsenal. But once he started dunking on the entire league, he went away from it. He just needs to return to the post every now and then. He does that and gets a jumpshot, then its over (assuming MIL somehow retains its roster)
Niggas really thought the the NBa was going to go to Milwaukee for the NBa Finals lmao
Anthony Mercado obviously that’s why I have Raptors in 7, Like If KD doesn’t come back by Game 3
Anthony Mercado Iggy is the x factor in this series
I think the Finals will be interesting. KD’s health is in question, we have no idea where Boogie is, Kawhi is defying his injury, Toronto appears to have more size than GS, but they’re highly inconsistent and yeah, the rest of the Raptors tend to defer and watch. Idk how bad that’ll hurt me against the Warriors. Can’t wait for Thursday.
I made a comment about Klay Thompson and some one just had to mention lebron in it
Anyone thinking the Raptors will get killed in this finals, are delusional. Casuals.
As a raps fan, I’m happy we won. The bucks are best positioned in the league. Giannis isn’t done growing and he’s only going to get better.
I need KD to sit the hell out ! This is just so much fun to watch
Isn't dames shot a walk off playoff buzzer beater?
Edit:nvm its he meant in a game 7
Not game 7.
I think he meant first game 7 buzzer beater
@@jero6328 ohhhhhh yeah
kawhi wasn’t the leader on the 2014 spurs but he was the clear best player on it, so he was technically “the guy”
He (22-23 years old) went face to face with prime LeBron too. Crazy mental control.
cute dog right lol
New king of the *NBA*
Said nb ever
If I were Giannis I would hate that MVP trophy. Sucks to get owned like that. You kinda figure if Kawhi had played those 22 games he took off for load management than he would have easily taken the trophy
Everyone told me after Houston lost to GS that "Harden cant be MVP because he choked and lost in 6".. Even though he averaged his regular season numbers against GS.
Giannis ACTUALLY choked in this series, but I dont hear anyone saying he shouldnt be MVP for it...
As a bucks fan it’s sad to see them lose. This Bucks playoff run did great things in the city, and guaranteed Giannis is getting a jump shot this summer. I’m curious to see if MKE is interesting to free agents now
3:11 that pass LOL that guy is raging for sure
I predicted Raptors in 6 so I feel good
I predicted Bucks in 7 so I feel like a idiot LOL
I thought they said cousins was out for the whole season
They should let him rest. He'd be a detriment to the warriors coming off an injury.
Rise and shine mister Leonard, rise and shine..
Kawhi is a machine
7:17 how are you gong to forget about mj and The Shot?
He means in Game 7.
Noti gang 🗣🔥
kawhi’s playmaking has been unbelievable in the bucks series idk what you’re talking about there
You're right on the spot on why people don't like LeBron stans
Good for Kawhi & for Toronto getting to play on the Biggest Stage
Please do a podcast I'd listen to shit like this on spotify fr
Dame Lillard in the Thunder Jersey 😂😂😂 but Giannis needs and solid 3 point shot. If he had more of a long range shot it expands his game and keeps him from relying mostly on scoring in the paint/post. Also he already draws multiple defenders, if he can bring them out to the perimeter because their worried about him hitting that 3, it’ll open up more driving lanes for easy buckets.
The winner of the series is who's best player can go off Steph is going to need to torch and light the Raptors up. He needs to play like he has something to prove to the world that I can wheel a team to the championship and I'm not a Choker.
its... its been 1 year... lets calm down
Who else would be king though
@@max-hy6iuLeBron is compared to Jordan, usually 2nd only to. after 1 year are we really comparing Kawhi to Jordan? there is no king right now, its a free for all.
@@Kipple-wp7pd yeah LeBron is comparable to Jordan, I was more talking about the fact that LeBron is out of the east means that he isn't king anymore like how Jordan isnt king anymore. To me the king of the east is who performs best in the playoffs you could even have a different "king" every year. LeBron had a long reign as king as he was consistently the best player in the east however this year kawhi is the best player and so I consider him "king of the east".
I still remember when that commentator said that the Lakers should consider trading LeBron for someone like Kawhi LMAO
First Kawhi is not necessarily the better player just more complete , Giannas if guarded by One person will score more efficient or at least would be harder to guard and the defender would probably have to use more energy . For Kawhi it just depends if his shots goes in . Giannas can just get a layup .
I was bout to fuckin wild out if you finished that sentence about Giannis at the beginning of the vid
Giannis is 24 and he took the Bucks from barely making the playoffs to competing heavily in the Conference Finals.
He will be fine. This season wasn't a disappointment in totality, only on the expectations they set themselves during the regular season.
If Kawhi never got traded from the Spurs, Giannis would be king of the East and in the Finals.
Kawhi is the only player in the league that can defend him.
I hope when you say “it’s great to hear basketball minds” your excluding Pierce
I'm a Bucks fan . I don't expect this to happen again for my Bucks . Next year everyone else will be better . This hurt because this was our chance . 19 years is when we got this far . I just don't see it happening again . I also don't expect Giannis to stay . I don't see a reason why he would stay . I'm not being a prisoner of the moment . I just don't see the Bucks getting past Toronto . Well salute to Toronto . Giannis is not ready . When he gets ready it won't be in Milwaukee . But like I said salute to Toronto . I'm a Bucks fan when or lose . Also great channel . Salute Toronto the better team and player won .
would u rather have last year's rockets or the raptors right now?
Kawhi is staying in toronto because he is good at making snow balls and he loves the winter, and he is half bear, and he is a very fun guy and likes fun people like serge ibaka.
Leonard balling like it’s 2k
typical bron hater because he owns ur franchise
11:04 HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT SHOT!”
This is the first time the Warriors don't have homecourt advantage in the Finals during this dynasty run. That's a huge difference. And since KD is out for the start of the Finals, they can put Kawhi on Steph, Green on Thompson. Those 2 guys are amazing defenders. The Raptors bigs outmatch the Warriors bigs, even if Cousins returns at some point. Powell and VanVleet have stepped up. Raptors in 5
I don't think Curry has had many problems with Kawhi. And I don't think they should start Green in this series he's been absolute ass. They might have Kawhi on Klay and then do the Rockets defense for Curry. Obviously game 1 is a feelout game, but I'd have that be my game plan while also making sure Looney doesn't go off. Draymond can get his triple doubles though.
@@risersin7957
They'll probably start Green because of his defense and because he's one of only 3 guys with Finals experience on the team. If not Leonard on Curry, then I could see them putting Green on Curry and Kawhi on Klay. And Siakam is more physically threatening to Draymond than Aminu so I think he'll be less productive.
Your talk show is really good
I really feel like kawhi and the raptors are gonna prove everyone wrong and win it all
I actually think Raptors win this with or without KD. With the warriors perimeter threat, there has to be a lot of switching involved in defence, kawhi, green, siakam can switch 1-4 to match up with curry, Thompson, iguodala(Durant) and green, and Lowry is an underrated perimeter defender. The only problem with raptors is in offense , if they execute , kawhi does his thing, Pascal gives 15, Marc gasol actually bullies looney, green hits a couple of 3s and Lowry score more than 5...it's a championship for them don't forget, defence wins championships. Just my opinion
He was once the best of the west now he's the king of the east
Not even best in east
