It's actually disgusting to see the media create false narratives around Luka "Can't play defense" "Teammates hate him" "not a winning player" He's proving them all wrong
not winning player is because he is playing like prime harden That is one the reason they took kyrie a closer.. that is what harden was missing in his prime when harden he got to bk he is way too out of shape and injured.. and there is the vaccine scam
All those things that they say about Luka, is what they should say about Lebron (0 effort on defense, bad teammate, bad in the 4th quarters of important games).
Here is the fun part. Luka 25, Gafford 25, Washington 25, Green 23, Hardy 22, Lively 20... 6 of our 9 current rotation players are 25 or younger. Means this team isnt just good right now, they have plenty of time to grow together and get even better. Ad O-Max as another lenghy (6'8, 230 lbs, 7'2 wingspan) and athletic 3&D talent (probably to replace Maxi in a year or 2) and Dallas is perfectly set up for the future. All we have to do is open up the cap space to sign DJJ (also only 27 years old) with the 12 Mio MLE long term and we are more or less set for the forseable future. Or to say it short, get rid of THJ's expiring contract to a cap space team, cause he isnt needed anymore. Right now I am just happy, looking back at last years team. The turnaround is remarkable and to be honest, Harrison shouldve won the GM of the year! Its easy to make a Contender better. Its not easy to turn a team that missed the Play In into a contender while completely changing the roster.
yeahh and this year I think the team more prepared than 2 years ago. If maxi can come back sooner and exum get back his confident I think mavs gonna be better than thunder series. so much option, let go mavs!
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 It goes even deeper... Over the last year we got Lively AND Gafford AND O-Max (future 3&D wing) only thanks to OKC. We gave them a 2028 swap at the deadline for their 2024 1st, the 10th pick and Bertans (for 12 + trade exception) at 2023 draft night. Without the trade exception we do not get Holmes + O-Max, without Holmes and the OKC 1st we do not have the matching salary and asset to trade for Gafford. Its crazy that the Thunder gave us everything we needed to get the Center rotation that helped us beat them in the Playoffs.
@@jonathanfrimerman8855 Don't forget that OKC also helped dallas facilitate the trade for gafford from the wizards lol. Mavs sent a 2028 pick swap to thunder for their 2024 1st pick which was then sent with holmes for gafford.
@@6manYTwish Timmy was more consistent. Would be less worried for this next series if he could actually average at least 10 points. But seeing as how he’s been streaky, I’m hoping Hardy can come off the bench and score like he did vs the thunder. It’ll definitely be appreciated and it’ll be about time he starts to show some progression.
This postseason every player on the Mavs has totally outdone themselves. Luka wasn't the greatest for a while cause of injury, and Kyrie wasn't the hottest either, but the rest of the team stepped up when we needed them. Absolutely incredible!
PJW, DJJ, Lively, Luka and Kyrie were the men. They were cooking, Luka was providing drama with the loss in game 4 and then came back to life in games 5 and 6. After game 4 someone said "Mavs just playing with their meal"... Could be, sometimes we lose games because we want to make them more fun.
Kyrie during the Clipper series, which some people seem to suddenly forget, averaged 26.5 PPG and shot %51.4 FG and %45 from 3PT, and scoring 30+ in half the games in the series, coming up clutch again and again. While locking up Harden in multiple games on the defensive side. He shot %42.3 from 3PT this series too, although his scoring output was roughly -10 below his averages, taking only 14 shots a game. He seemed to be pacing himself at times and have been giving the stage to Luka and other teammates to shine, which Luka did in the last two games and PJ did in the previous ones (and DJJ). It is a long journey to a championship and everybody on the team needs to feel confident to succeed as a team. If it all comes together, anything is possible.
@@gungadin9686 nah he was 100% supposed to be the mvp, but these playoffs he has been rough shooting wise but he realized it and changed his game. He looked great the last 2 games, I hope it carries on to twolves
In reality Luka is easily a top ten all time best player, with an extremely high IQ. So, not really a shock that when he turned his interest to Defense he is great at that too. He is Mister Fundamentals.
Hopefully the era of top heavy superteams is done. The Mavs, Nuggets and Wolves have shown that you need depth and players that complement each others' styles. That's how basketball is meant to be played.
Genuine question, How are the wolves not a super team? They’ve got ant, KAT and Gobert. One can drop 30 on any given night. One is a 4x DPOY and lastly they’ve got the self proclaimed “best big man shooter in nba history”.
@@gonehollow99 He can play the 4 he can play small ball 5. Hes versatile defensively, a good shot blocker and is a knockdown 3 point shooter who can also pass pretty well. Hes pretty much the perfect backup big man.
I was extremely impressed with Lively when the thunder intentionally sent him to the line in multiple games. He nailed free throw after free throw when it mattered most
To acquire PJ Washington Mavs first also gave up an unprotected swap to the Spurs to get Grant Williams. Mavs don't have only 2 fantastic lob threats. Besides Gafford and Lively, Washington and Jones are also fantastic lob threats, and Josh Green can jump as well. Damn, even Kyrie caught a couple of monster alley ups.
Keep in mind the Mavs tanking was a snowball effect. So they tanked to get lively, but they also traded back which landed him the ability to trade for another pick (omax) and rischaun Holmes who then turned into Daniel gafford
The front office did a GREAT job at the trade deadline. This is a championship team if they can continue to maintain their defense. Their offense will always be there over the stretch.
I was in the arena up in the 300 section, and saw it from up high, and it was still just as funny. Also just kind of awesome to see Kidd pick him up, and send him on his way back to defense.
NGL I would have liked a Mavs vs Nuggets WCF but the Wolves vs Mavs is gonna be spectacular as well no doubt. Routing for Mavs, hope they take the Trophy home this Playoffs.
I have to be completely honest; I was not a fan of the Kyrie deal when it went down, and by mid-season, I was out on Kidd. I'm glad I was GM in February.
People were already counting the Mavs out approaching the trade deadline. Though they were around 6th seed and still above .500, there was an indication they will possibly repeat the previous year meltdown. But lo and behold, just the addition of 2 guys made a 360 on Mavs season.
Do they? Lively is spectacular. But I don’t see any one else after him stepping up. Green is ok. Tim has had one good game all postseason. Exum disappeared. Hardy can score some. I hope this off season we can secure DDJ and get a real guaranteed scorer off the bench.
@@mycabbages3538 It's more reasonable to say that the entire squad produces and excels in their role, people always step up. I haven't seen a game from the Mavs where PJ, Gafford, Lively, Derrick all suck ass at the same time like what's happened with the Nuggets during the Wolves series, especially game 7.
No matter what video dribbles about the Mavs have stepped it up big time Luka is a machine skilled brilliance with same as Kyrie they are awesome to watch plus Circled by a great supporting role team mates
7:55 Small correction. It wasn't even an actual tank. That $750k fine was after losing to CHI, the 81st game for DAL, on Apr 7. DAL were at 38-43. OKC has already played their 81st game the day before, Apr 6, and won. OKC were at 39-42 at that point. Even if OKC lost in their last regular season game, that would bring them to 39-43. Then, assuming the last DAL game was won, that would also bring DAL to 39-43. That means there will be a tiebreaker, and the first tiebreaker was who won the season series. OKC won the season series already by January, a month before the Kyrie trade was even made. So even if DAL didn't "tank", they'd still be in the lottery anyway. If that was actually "tanking", IDK what POR and DET (among other teams) were doing then.
You gotta give credit to Jason Kidd because you know he tought/teaching Kyrie how to still maintain productivity in the older years. Dudes playing 100% unselfish ball and have become a Kyrie fan in the process.
KAT is the X-factor in this series. If he can get 20 ppg the Wolves will take the series. He was in foul trouble against the Suns and Nuggets because he had to guard KD and Jokic. KAT and Rudy will help off their defenders against Luka and Kyrie and the other will be the weak side help rotation off the help. The Mavs don’t have a 4/5 that can create their own shots. The Wolves have enough perimeter defenders with length to throw at Luka and Kyrie that it’ll keep ANT fresh to get at least 30 per game. The Wolves also have the length to contest and disrupt the Mavs 3pt shooting. That’s something that the Clippers and OKC did not have. I got the Wolves in 6.
Let's hope they can hang their names with big shot rob( Robert HORRY) ( STEVE KERR) (JOHN PAXTON ( MOST RECENTLY Andre MVp Andre Iguodala) some of NBA most memorable moments for me ❤
“But can they play defense” - Shaq and Charles Barkley Love them both but come on now tell me you don’t watch the games without telling me you don’t watch the games
But Dallas was swept in the first and second rounds. Fine, they will be swept again in the conference finals. They got business being where they are. This Dallas squad has been on a roll since the trades and man it has been a pleasure to follow. It looks and feels like the complete package.
Fron what ive seen, lots of people are going to be shocked by Mavs defense. Shai is one of the best in the world at grtting to the rim & he got none of that in the Mavs series.

What is that title lol? As soon as the trade happened and quickly after it was obvious dallas improved where they were the weakest, now they have the best d while not playing their best basketball offensively. Mavs are contender material in the past 30 or so games.

Be more respectful for those players cause all of you haters (no matter from which team) you are so toxic it makes me wanna vomit. Sorry for my english but im from Europe, Poland.

You guys are so toxic even after some big win/lose you make such a big deal about those things. It's sport, those are the best players in the world no matter if it's Luka, Ant, Joker or Embiid. Every one of them is special and you need to be really delusional to pick exactly who's better. Be more respectful for those players cause all of you haters (no matter from which team) you are so toxic it makes me wanna vomit. Sorry for my english but im from Europe, Poland. I watch NBA many years but fans and media and some players who needs so much to have podcast cause their fame and money is too low - all of you make it unwatchable. I mean come on, how can Jokic say publicly whats best defense agaimst him (tower twins) and later on they beat his ass , is it a joke ?
Everyone are entitled to their own opinion.
Lets get, back at this thread after everythings said and done.
No more Jokic content. 😢

Im a mavs fan, but come on, saying that washington is the greatest shooter ever... that's a stretch... he is better than Grant williams, though, and seth Curry was a shell of his former self.. so good trade
Lmaoo I was joking man

Cryie and puka whine to the refs every play
