Luka is doing this on sheer force of will.
Sneer tyranny of will
That's that conquerors haki😂😂
Zip him up when your done, he does this every game wincing and making faces for calls lmao he’s a great talent but just ball stop the side show lots of guys playing through injury this time of year.
@eraww3545 your opinion doesn't matter, you low life
@@eraww3545no buddy….I think you should zip BOTH of them up😭😭😭😂
Kyrie scored 9 and wasn't needed to take any offensive load because of PJ (deserves a lot of recognition in this game) Kyrie has shown time and time again he's about winning right now. I was impressed by how composed he was despite not scoring much, this is the beauty of this team
Yeah, I think It’s because he’s actually finally happy. He’s locked in and always saying and doing the right thing
i think part of him misses being able to touch ball on posessions. rn they have him set in the corner almost every game and when ever he gets the ball he just passes it back to luka. kyrie inherently is not that guy as he has always been one of the main attractions of an offense, the guy who is a show stopper and a clutch shot maker. right now he feels like he is being robbed of those things just because of how he fits in to this team. i only say this because i saw him frustrated today when jason kidd took him out at the same time as luka because clearly he wanted to be out there when luka went to rest so he could get some touches.
Kyrie is paid to play 4 qtrs. Not rest the first half and maybe show up in the second half. Can you imagine the explosion from the talking heads if luka had a 9 pt game
Give THJ credit too, Luka and Kyrie get these guys open looks.
@@phantomdancer3279ah yes, so you're kyrie's inner thoughts now?
Luka gave me that Kobe feel in this game, playing through injury, doesn't care about the bumps and bruises no flopping, he literally planted his face on the floor then proceeded to drop a three.
You need a special kind of mentality and toughness to go through all of that in a game. I just hope his body doesn't break and get any further injury
Bumps and bruises? You know Kobe played through REAL injuries not busted lips and skinned knees. Played the finals with fluid on his knees, Won the finals with 3 broken fingers on his shooting hand. Wore a contraption binding 2 fingers together on his shooting hand in the finals. You talking about bumps and bruises they all have bumps and bruises this deep in the playoffs. Don't ever compare this baby to Kobe
@@Mac11Mikewhy bro describing Kobe like he’s David goggins. Kobe ain’t no where that level to be doing physical activity with that many injures.
Played through an injury lol. Lula has ‘injuries’ literally every game. Just an act to make it more special. “I did all of that while being hurt”
Every other player is playing with bumps and bruises..calm down. LOL
Stop.. kobe didn't cry like Luka does
So you wanna tell me that the series is not over after first game? That’s really shocking.
Shot out to Luka , dude is as tough as they come. This might go to 7
Mavs in 6! 🔥
the media is lame. every gsme they switch up
Mavs in 5
Let’s not forget Embiid played on one leg and Bell’s palsy that’s tougher than anything anyone is playing through but good for Luka and it helps he has several people to count on.
@@nicoperez9984 yeah if Mavs win game 3 - “ are u picking Mavs to go to the finals?”😂
ESPN was riding OKC hard after just GAME 1. I hope my Mavericks KO OKC lol
They were talking about how OKC was undefeated in the playoffs but failed to bring up that their first round series was a joke. Pelicans without Zion was never going to get past OKC.
lol any clown that believes espn is not a real sports fan!
Don't forget the ignorant, arrogant OKC fans after game 1. Barking like dogs
They love the new blood esp cause they are more defensive oriented. It's cool but a little much
@@nbafanboy1967For real. OKC is really good. But that series proved nothing.
Kyrie followed the flow of the game tonight. 🌊 In the words of Bruce Lee He was like water . I love that he kept the ball moving , feeding the hot hands while not forcing anything.
Doncic should take a page from Irving’s book. Push the ball and share it
@@user-nc5nl3pr6f It becomes old at some point. Tell me one thing...how does someone become one of the best passers being second in assists in the entire league, when he doesnt push and share the ball.
@@antifaschi7869you don’t know basketball that’s all
@@tysheenlee9826 Na...you are just a hater, who has to ignore facts in order to being able to keep discrediting a player you dont like. That`s all. Sad.^^ How many Mavs games did you watch this season. Tell me and be honest.

Nah wolves vs nuggets and pacers vs Knicks both feel like FINALS
Celtics have left the chat.
@@BassYakCamCeltics? Are they in the playoffs?
@@SodamnInsane24 Is this a joke? I’m not even a Celtics fan. Brunson is incredible, but let’s not forget the Pacers have a terrible D. Gonna be much tougher against them next round.
That’s wild to see the Mavs beat OKC and Kyrie didn’t even really get his offense going. But he had a stellar defensive game though.
He had 11 assists too.
It’s not all about scoring, the assists obviously helped a lot. Moves the defense around.
he didnt even want the ball, he trusted his team so no he didnt have a bad offensive game with 11 assists
This is for shaq and charles😂
Time to tune in😂
Only TNT games unfortunately
Shaq and Charles cant sleep now that some chinese looking guy named ‘Jesus’ criticized them
STAND UP, Dallas sports fans! What a night for both the Stars and Mavs with HUGE Game 2 wins!
And everybody telling the mavs would lose after 1 game. What are they going to say now?
I’m a Celtics fan but I’m a die hard cowboys fan lol and the city of Dallas needs this. Fn show jerruh what winning looks like.
@@alexalmonte2423 “Jerruh” 😂……. Amen bro! I’m a Dallas resident and you’re right!
Glad to see Tim back 😊
Hard not to think Luka and Kyries playoff experience won’t give them an edge here. The moment won’t scare them at all.
That’s what I said experience will get them a W hopefully the serious
You mean kyrie's playoff experience
Sad to say but I think Lively's inexperience showed in game 2. He looked so nervous.
@@Mac11Mikeand Lukas. He’s been in at least 6 playoff series in the nba and a couple in euroleague (which have an insane playoff atmosphere). He’s got a good bit of experience too
great to see THJ actually hitting shots, and PJ having a NIGHT! The guys stepped up!
K.Irving Leadership , playmaking, hassle defense resulting to T.O even not score more but that kind of game you need in playoffs
Luka is CARRYING KYRIE
You clearly haven’t watched any games lol kyrie was averaging more points on better efficiency in every game in the playoffs except for this game. smooth brained casual@@entertainingsportshighligh7525

He gonna win faster than dirk
With dort tripping and grabbing his legs through the last 2 games, it's a miracle Luka is still playing.
A Mavericks TWolves WCF would electric and capture the future of the NBA. The old guard is gone

@@berrymckockiner5883 in general yes but not in the playoffs so far
Long way to go still.
Will be exactly like that, Wolves vs Mavs
@@BassYakCamalready there.
Kyrie and Luka,, true leaders!!! ❤ 💪
Luka took that MVP diss personally
Good, he didnt deserve it anyway
That the most commited i’ve seen kyrie. looking like dellavedova at times during the game 😂
Thats actually saying a lot lol
So I guess he wasn't "committed" when he won his championship
@@Mac11MikeKyrie has always been an all time scorer but I wouldn’t call him a scrappy defender. That’s where the delly comparison is coming from
P.J. Washington had as many MVP votes as Shaq. 🤝
Lmfao
Well played
Tim Hardaway is older than Kyrie lol. His face when Scott said Kyrie is an old head
yeah, lol
@@ajvhan😂
🤨Lol Scott was referring to when Ky called himself an old head when he's only 32 which is nowhere near considered an old head...
@@Young90sbabyold head mad in the comments
Following the Mavs for a season -- it's not like what Perkins say Luka and Kyrie don't trust the role players, it's just that finally they hit the open shots
That part.
ESPN basketball media smeared a lof of sht on Luka. Now you have to eat all of it. Haters and racists.
Es verdad
EXACTLY!
Luka shut a lot of folks up tonight with that performance. It’s what the greats do but I’m curious who you feel is racist in the ESPN media. Tim Legler said that Luka looked cooked in game 1 . Was that really racial, sht smear or just an honest assessment? I’d opt for the latter.
@@AKingNamedBenji Did you watch game 1? That wasn''t exactly a hot take. Dude looked cooked....
@@AKingNamedBenjiA lot of people including the biggest bigot in NBA media Stepehen A hate Luka either because he is white or European. They are both racist and xenophobic
OKC: let's go hurt Dončić
- knock teeth
- hurt knee
- sprain ankle
Mission failed
OKC: More like let Luka be a b!tch all night.
None of those are real injuries, what is a hurt knee? And everyone has some type of sprain this deep in the playoffs. It's called playoff basketball but keep gassing
Ahh yes but you don't want to talk about Gafford literally tackling dort
I think Dallas will win this series. OKC is talented, but they don’t have enough experience. I think Mavs will make the Finals.
I hope you right
steven a smith after game 1 already said it is the OKC to win, just full of sht and their stand can change from game to game. what is the point of listening to them.
o point these clowns are paid sheep !
Steven a is💩
He always does the same
@@j.l.howlett6843 facts man
Imma still sticking with OKC in this series
Shannon was right, we watching baby bird right here man.
Why he has too be compared too bird? Luka is da next luka
he is white and he can shoot. but more of lebron or magic without the athletic ability
Closest thing we ever got to another Bird was Dirk
@@russellmuscle7434Truth, Luka is more a Nash.
Mavs team has pretty much unlimited potential in the future if they stay the same and improve!
All of the mavs players who stepped up are all capable of playing and having nights like this, having Luka and Kyrie leading them they’ll beat OKC, all the role players get easy opportunities just have to make plays happen
It’s crazy to think the core of this team hasn’t played together as much as other teams but you still see the chemistry
Kudos to Luka, played this game outstandingly despite his knee
A knee lol. That dude has an injury every game. Just an act so he can say “I dis that while hurt”
@@ashokathegreat4534 Yeah, the knee injury, he is also bleeding every game from the knee but you can call it an act if it makes you feel better
@@ashokathegreat4534you are such a corny hater
It’s moments like this where I really missed having Tim Legler on right now.
as a thunder fan were in deep trouble. But atleast losing in the 2nd round would hurt less than losing in the finals.
Game 3 will be interesting..
yessssss sir, both teams are great tho. This series can easily swing either way.
Already coping. Yall fans talkn mad sht now it's 'better' to lose now
Im a mavs fan, but I think thunder is going to win the series, most of the mavs lineup has been playing hurt, so I don't think the mavs will be able to keep this up for long. Luka is hurt, Kleber is hurt, Gafford is hurt, DJJ hurt himself now, its not looking bright for the mavs.
@@Mr8thwonderofthewrld😭🤣
@@quetz6335 You're not a MAVS FAN!
OKC fans talking Smack about Lukas family.. What a great fanbase💩🤡
If THJ can consistently drop 15 with timely buckets in their usual third quarter dry spell, Dallas will win. That third quarter really makes or breaks them.
Tim gets going when he gets to the rim...shoots some freebies..sees them go in..then the 3s start falling. I'd much rather see him attack right off the bench vs come in chunking 3s
He hasn't had a game like this in well over 2 months. He did well tonight, but at the end of the season I'd let him go.
@@txbc7 it's the same as before. Struggled in the latter half of the season then picked it up again in the playoffs.
Believe me when I tell you: Tim absolutely CAN’T do this with consistency 😂 but as long as some role players step up we don’t need career numbers every night just contributions
@@dpend nah, bro. I've been watching this dude since he joined Dallas (not too much before that). His first two seasons there where they made the playoffs (against the Clippers both times), he averaged 17, shooting around 40% from deep. I get the regular season inconsistencies, but he's been really good in the playoffs.
What a great game and Kyrie out here playing hard defense 🔥
"Since Mobydick was a goldfish"😂 Perk is too funny
Washington was amazing this game
Luka the real mvp avg 34p(1st)10A (2nd) 9R (1st among guards) on 62%ts/49%fg/38%3pt and 2nd in Player Impact
Stop underestimating the Mavs. We always bounce back! Mavs in 6👏
Great win for the Mavs
Glad to see Hardaway produce !
mavs v minnesota wcf
I've never seen a player will himself through injuries like this since Kobe
The Mavs as a team has impressed me a lot for different reasons, and Luka is tough as nails for playing with all the injuries and being hit every single game during the playoffs.
this is going to be a great series
Luka deserves his praise, but PJ Washington was the biggest difference.
29 pts 11 reb 4 ast on 7-11 from 3pt range 🔥🔥🔥☄️
His best game all year, now can we count on that again all series?
@@robp9746 who knows, but its a confidence booster for him. Playing with luka and kyrie will give him those open looks
Luka is MAGICAL!! ❤️
I remember Kai happy asl playing with KD in Brooklyn tho 🤔 dancing with the bench and everything, until their front office mess all that groove up. And not trusting Kai. But he was happy in Brooklyn. (post Harden)
Very true
Kyrie was never a problem on a basket level. But these execs try to push the politics onto him and he said “nah”
@@PseudoTertiothrow it's a free country you can express have you feel about the world and if you touch or expose some kind of group they automatically cancel you know what kind group am talking about
They clowned for not taking the vaccine..Now we are hearing multiple reports of side effects and withdrawal of many of these vaccines from the market
And you point is? Is he happy happy now? Was happier on Brooklyn? What you mean you don't thrust Kai? Is he going to play better or worst?
You didn't say sht.
Refs rescued SGA AND OKC TODAY BUT THEY STILL LOST TO ONE LEGGED LUKA
You can’t even breathe around sga without being called a foul lol
The first game was even worse!
SGA had like 30 FT… pathetic
Get off your knees 😂😂😂
They shoot like the same amount of free throw
These playoffs been so lit 🔥 the league is really evened out competition wise vs 7 years ago
Dallas has so much playoff experience, especially between their two super stars. I genuinely think that will carry them to the finals.
If Luka’s knee holds up anything can happen for the Mavs 🏆
Luka is the real MVP
Luka>SGA
Luka>ANT
Sorry peeps but this is face of the league and not ANT, ANT isn't him.
It's wyts peeps turn now, especially with cooper flagg waiting in the wings as well.
Certified YAPPER!!
I mean, I'm a mavs fan, but ant is for real. Let's not be obvious with the hate at least 😅
What do you mean Ant isn’t him?!
@@thegreatestfinesser2338 he's not that dude
@@cloudunderweather9554No hate, Luka is just better
Sink it in your brain... Luka has an o.g heart never quiting even hurting .. a great example of a true MVP
I thought it was a little early this year, but the way Luka is playing, he is always gonna be the best player on the court every single time. It really has been the changing of the guard during these playoffs. Stars I grew up watching aren't contending anymore. Man.
It will be funny when the Mavericks reach The Finals. Hopefully this will shut-up Minnesota & OKC fans.
Great win
Props to Luka to play with injury, Kai was great with passes and scoring, Timmy showed up. PJ was fire !!!
11 assist , 2 blocks ,2 steals what a leader❤ ky
I was lookin at her the whole game. Good Gawd!
this will be the best series of the entire playoffs, it could very easily go 7 games
Anyone still questioning Luka's toughness simply doesn't want to admit that they're wrong.
That's why these mavs are dangerous they can quickly outscore you in a single quarter, the rest of the game is often neck and neck. But when they hit that one quarter where they blitz you by 20, 30 it's crazy.
But they players gotta hit they shots with this consistently for them to win
Dallas needs to destroy okc in this series. okc is now resorting to dirty plays to stay in the game.
Its cool the roll players went out there & did their thing sense luka is playing hurt. Kyrie and luka can get 30 a piece any given night like perk said, letting the roll players do their thing now is smart because once they make it to the western conference finals the roll players will be ready & locked in& all luka & Kyrie have to do is turn things on scoring wise. Mavs have a young squad too lets not forget
Luka with the max contract, Jordan and Gatorade signing, but still using the old cable earphone is hilarious
it’s secure 😉
Once again and people dont realize it. Jason Kidd made the right adjustments he took Doncic and Irving out at a crucial point and even the announcers were shocked-it worked as do most of his challenges. Mavs Kidd COY!
Wondering what Shaq is pondering now.😂
How did this man not win the MVP
Because he was not the best at alp
Pj Washington was getting bizzy 😂
Security didn’t want that mavs fan showing that luka jersey 😂😂😂😂
This series is going to be to be a movie Kyrie is looking mad comfortable
ESPN show doncic 7 aissists dude made 10 assists they still try to look Luka bad no matter what :D
Woke racist institution.
P.J Washington played outstanding i was shocked to be honest
Luka is showing the league that he’s the MVP!!! The Mavs are beating OKC in 6 games. Lu Dort is a dirty player
Luka balled out tonight but Saying Lu Dort is dirty seems like a stretch. The dude plays hard and physical. Based on how finesse the league has become it’s great to seem guys like him , Gobert and small group of others who still play defense .
@@AKingNamedBenji nah man. Dort was trying to hurt Luka at times during the game
Shocker, the series ISNT over after game 1
Great job Mavericks.
It's amazing how I'm and Stephen A has so much good things to say now about kyrie 😂😂😂😂
Okc showed there age tonight.
It looks like Holmgren is starting to feel the effects of that post season work. He only had 11,6,6. That's not gonna put the Mavs away. I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas won this series just based off of experience
It’s cause he’s finally in a state that aligns with his moral values.
nice job timmy😇😇
When Luka set the tone from early on the rest of his teammates follow him and it’s hard to beat them💪🔥
My MVP cooking that freethrow merchant
Way to get one on the road
Okc will win this serie. Mavs will play hard but okc will win. My respects to the Mavs, they are in the playoff for a reason. As OKC acknowledges that the MAVS are in the playoff for a reason and they are good.
Bruh as a mavs fan if we manage to win this series the timberwolves terrify me. And if not well good luck to OKC because… I mean Jesus dude they’re so good.
Wolves are great defensively, however Luka and Kyrie won't be stopped by defense so they match up well vs wolves.
I think we're the most likely team to beat the Wolves in terms of matching up. Denver would be a bigger problem for us
Blood on his knee and still ballin out.. nice
So?
If this amount of contact is allowed full series Mavs will win. OKC role players looked sped up.
Brotha special😂😂😂😂😂😂
What was that at 2:02 . *lu dort*
FKyrie will have 2-3 INCREDIBLE games this series. I say Mavs in 7 with Kyrie breaking OKC hearts
Luka bringing the top 500 Overwatch Tank mentality
Go Luka Go
Kyrie is the Mavs best Chance at this championship he’s doing everything to make sure he’s a leader on this team
5:26 first time Perkins ever made laugh.
That trip in the 4th was scary. Almost took out Luka
Kyrie is dope 🎉
