- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- It’s NBA Finals time! On this week’s episode we preview the upcoming series between the Dallas Mavericks (Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving) and the Boston Celtics (Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown), discuss which players could be the x-factors, and which star will ultimately have the best series. We also breakdown RJ’s debate with Rasheed Wallace on who would win in a seven game series: 2017 Golden State Warriors or the 2004 Detroit Pistons. This was a fun one. Let’s go!
Now I think Boston’s gonna win. Channing really said “put Kyrie on Tatum” bro Kyrie 6’1 wtf 😭😭😭
These clowns acting like I didn’t see kyrie get hunted and ripped apart by just Tatum and brown when he had the option of fucken Keven Durant as his one and now I’m supposed to be afraid of the fat Slovenian who is only got post points down by 20
Watch the Celtics blow these dudes out and everyone is gonna bitch and moan “well it wasn’t Denver”
When he said that I got so happy 🤣 please do that! Please!
Hahaha the guy is trying so hard to put out some weird hot takes. damn if that gets him paid he is qualified to be a clown 😂
Tatum not like that and u will see that today.
Everyone in the media gonne see Dallas get smoked tonight.
That’s when Zazas punk ass stepped under Kawhis foot! Spurs were the only team able to beat the warriors during their run well from ‘15-‘20
Lebron beat them in 2016 with the cavs.
The Rockets were up 3-2 before CP3 got injured.
All the media picking mavs. Huge upset and choke job if they don’t
Pull it off, favourites for a reason. If they lose, luka ain’t that guy
Boston is the favorite in the series. Boston fans can't keep talking about how historically great their team is and pretend to be the underdog
Three coaches in five years
"They've had the most consistency of coaching" 😂
Clowns
They just be talking…no real thought giving at all!
Exactly social media has given the most ill informed ppl a platform to spew bs.
The JT hate is honestly getting embarrassing for these ppl, good god. I hope he takes this all in and decides to go and shut everyone up this series.
JT IS SHOOTING 29% from three in the playoffs. Boston shoots the most 3’s and Dallas will severely limit him in the paint.
@@Thelostandprofoundpodcast 1 Dude shooting from 3 and now he's gonna be limited in the paint. Got it. Celtics shoot 38% from 3 and it's over.
@@standeeks911 JT is shooting 29% from three. The topic of discussion is the JT hate. JT shrunk in the Finals against the Warriors. It’s the same type of Hate Ant got when the media and fans compared him to Jordan. JT is a great player, but he’s not up there with Luka and Jokic.
@@Thelostandprofoundpodcast Remind me again what has Luka done so far? How was his ECF vs Warriors? Is shooting 41% vs them good? Because that happened. Also Ant didn't get jumped on what so ever. He legit got compared to Jordan lmfao then said he was tired and got left off the hook. Shooting 29% from 3 but don't wanna talk about any of his other numbers because you can only hit him up for missing 3s. It's hilarious were talking about Luka like he's won ANYTHING Tatum has had more bigger moments in bigger games. Game 7 vs Philly and Game 6 vs Bucks. Tatum been to ECF how many times? Finals when he was 24? Again, whats Luka done?
If JT does... it will be the first. Celts been to 6 Conf.Finals and no ring. I like JT, but for an All NBA 1st teamer... that's not gettin it done. Until he changes that, the criticism is legit. That's how it works. Once/if he does, then it will stop. But not before.
Allie a baddie thoooo
You must live in Ohio or Nebraska lol. A 6 is a baddie now?
Allie is a baddie and she loves hoops!
The Luka glazing and Tatum hate everywhere is getting outta hand. Everyone acts like the Celtics are some high school varsity kids
So you’re saying:
Luka and Kyrie are the top two in the series.
Lively is better than Horford and KP.
But if the Celtics win Tatum can’t be considered the best player in the world because his team is so good.
Trippin is the perfect name for this pod
Well, considering if you compare stats between Tatum and the top 5-7 who were in the mvp race, Tatum had the worst stats so I can’t say he’s the best when he has 4 all stars next to him. Lively hasn’t missed one shot this whole playoffs 16/16 which no other player has ever done in nba history. So I’d def take lively over a injured guy and old dude yeah, last but not least if you think Tatum and Jalen are a better duo than kyrie and luka. Than you should change your name to NickHDumbass!!!!
Win or not, who the hell would suggest Tatum is the best player in the world? He’s amazing, but that’s insane. Luka will retire as one of the top 3 to ever play. He might even put the GOAT debate to bed.
@@johntyson I agree with that, Tatum shouldn’t be considered the best player in the world. So then you have to give the credit to Brown and the rest of the team. But you can’t say the Celtics are stacked at the same time you talk about how much better the Mavs starters are. It’s one or the other
@@NickHComedy The Celtics are stacked as far as their role players and bench more than the Mavs, especially in playoff/finals experience. Luka and Kai can be the best in the series and the Celtics can still be stacked in their role players at the same time. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
@@NickHComedy fair enough. As a massive Mavs fan, I only hope Luka doesn’t get mad and throw his diaper at a ref.
Kyries an alpha but hasn’t done shit unless he was a sidekick 😂 I swear yall just love to hate us
Lebron was the sidekick in those finals pal.
@@dustinbarlow1623that’s why ky got the bill Russel award over bron.. oh wait..
OMG EXACTLY
I get Kyrie is a historically great player but JB actual production is not being acknowledged. Kai avg 15 pts against OKC but everyone wants to brush it off. Brown outplayed Kai in 2022 and they swept the Nets. Kyrie might be a more proven closer. But JB is clearly the best player in 2024
I'm surprised I watched all these sports shows and not a SINGLE one of them that I can recall even *mentioned* that Nets sweep! Kyrie had like one or two good games and a couple bad games that I can recall, and KD had probably his worst series in his career. Mfs need to put some respek on JB's name frfr
So far Frye has said the following takes:
Kyrie would be the best player on the Celtics.
Jaylen is better than Tatum.
Tatum has always had an all star team
If kyrie wins chip he’s top 5 PG all time.
& I still have 10 mins to go lmfao this dude man 🤦🏿♂️🤣
LOL hate that Frye is right on all accounts?
@@dustinbarlow1623 sure he is buddy 🤣🤣
It gets worse too. This dude is a complete clown
@GJT-bq3hr LOL anyone who says they are taking Tatum and Brown over Luka and Kyrie in a championship series is freaking high as balls. And Lively is better than Porzingis and Horford combined, he has the highest + and - numbers of a Center in post season NBA HISTORY! Boston is a super team? The 2nd best team in the East barely had 50 wins. Five teams in the West had at least 50 wins. Boston is a good team playing mid level competition. You guys made Andrew Nembhard look like Kyrie Irving.
@@IsaiahB0 Anyone taking Tatum and Brown over Doncic and Irving in a championship series is a 🤡
“They’ve had the most consistency when it comes to coaching”…. They might have had literally the least consistent coaching situations across the top teams in the league over the past 5 years, bro. This dude doesn’t even watch this damn league.
When they say who do you take, Kyrie or Jaylen? Do they mean offensively? Defensively? Being im taking Jaylen brown everyday of the week as an overall player.
Kyrie defense has been great this playoffs
No one with a brain in a championship series is rolling with Brown over Irving. Thats like choosing Charles Barkley over Jordan.
@@karabomafa5609jaylen brown will abuse kyrie on defense bro he does everytime its crazy how recency bias is clouding ur judgement man but yall gonna learn
@@karabomafa5609kyrie is no JB! brown had votes to be in all team defense whereas ky had how many? 😂 yall sound like short dudes siding with the little men cause yall have something in common.
@@dustinbarlow1623Clearly you’re lacking in mental capacity because:
1. That was one of the worst analogies of all time
2. Anyone who has any understanding of the game of basketball understands that it’s far likelier that Jaylen Brown significantly contributes more to winning in this series than Kyrie (see: Defense wins championships). Oh by the way, Jaylen Brown is having a better offensive playoffs than Kyrie thus far as well
3. Kyrie is so “clutch” that he led his team to getting swept by the Celtics the last time he was the 2nd best player on his team vs. the Celtics in the playoffs
4. Jaylen Brown was the best player on his team in the Finals as a 25 year old in his first Finals appearance
This is a different level type of hate😂😂😂 seriously this is actually crazy bro
Channing is talking a whole lotta nonsense. 😂😂😂😂
Channing was just talking to talk
@@andrewgraham6344 I can’t count the number of times is yelled “WHAT?!”
😂😂😂
That’s part of the show, the more outlandish things you say the more views don’t you get it by now???
Hear me out... Kyrie on Tatum. They're profesional yappers, Stephen a levels of bullshit
@@danieltoledanolaguna3014 💯
"Kyrie can guard Tatum" ---Channing Frye (cannot be trusted)
LOL Tatum is on par with Anthony Edwards in ability to score. Tatum is a spot up shooter, he does not like physical contact at the rim, if Kyrie can stay in front of him he will be fine. Outside of Brown no one in Boston can take it to the hoop better than Irving, Doncic and Hardy.
@@dustinbarlow1623 bro Tatum posterized bron in the playoffs but he doesn’t like contact at the rim… how does he get to the free throw line then???
Literally bordering on psychosis w this take
Lol so funny that you only remember Tatums biggest dunk of his career.... JT is soft@Teckneek17
@@drzalejandro7 funny how you go past the part about his FT attempts. He ain’t go to the line for his poster on Bron. So when else could he attack the basket with to draw fouls that will send him to the FT line? Stop being an idiot bro
Kyrie was on boston and was barely the best player when tatum was a rookie
Yet he beat Tatum like a drum in one on one and spotted him 3 points. Everyone can watch Irving clown Tatum on youtube.
@dustinbarlow1623 imagine thinking being better 1 on 1 is being better at real basketball. 1 v 1 is its own thing. Trying to play 1 v 1 in a team game is flat out bad basketball and will get you destroyed against good teams that play like a team, more often than not. Kyrie vs Tatum in real basketball isn't even a contest and hasn't been for years.
@@dustinbarlow1623lmao when tf did that happen?! When he was a rookie and since then he’s been dog walked by Tatum 😂😂😂😂
@@anthonymelendez333 When does it matter when it happened, you can literally watch Tatum get owned by Kyrie on youtube in a Boston practice to the best of six and Kyrie spotted him 3 points to start the one on one game. LOL Tatum is not dog walking anyone, he about to have the clamps put on him by PJ washington.
@@josephrafferty6763 Funny because ISO Basketball is 1 V 1 DERP! Only time Tatum played Kyrie in a an Iso type situation he got taken to the woodshed.
JB is better than Kyrie
Yeah and Barkley is better than Jordan. Come back when Brown wins something meaningful.
Lol how are you coming to this conclusion. Based on what. Also how old are you and how long have you been watching the NBA
@GJT-bq3hr LOL for the Mavs probably.
I’d take him over Ky in a NY sec
@GJT-bq3hr Id be doing a lot better if Kidd actually played Hardy instead of every other bum on the roster.
Tatum is not a generational talent like Luka, Giannis, or Jokic. This is not that hard to grasp. Tatum is fringe top 5 and at his lowest is 10. Those other 3 guys are generationally great
Steph Curry some says is not a generational player
@@elvie1646 he definitely is. What a wild take from "some"
Slow down buddy. Luka has yet to prove he can win like a generational talent. Not long ago people were saying Harden was a “generational talent”. Not many saying that now.
Any update bro? 😂
Channing on bozo activity, Kyrie on Tatum? Did you not see that they attacking them? They play on defense.
Luka : Close out games: 31.9 PPG
Elimination games : 35 PPG
Game 7’s : 40.5 PPG
Playoff averages on career : 31-10-9
Damn! Insane !
There's only two players who going into the finals have lead the playoffs in pts,rb and assists......MJ and Luka.
Yeah he only won 4 series ever lol
Excuse me 5 now.
@@B.Piercesports"Only won" spoken like a true ignorant. Do you know how hard it is to win a playoff series, heck, even 1 playoff game, even better, be in a playoff game!?
It's going to be 6
lukas defense is subpar. Jaylen Brown he wants no part of.
You haven't watched him recently then. Additionally he's probably guard brown much to begin with.
If Lukas defense is subpar then why is his defense numbers better than Tatums this post season?
@@dustinbarlow1623 ky just started playing OK defense he is not a person you want “playing defense “ against a team this size in Boston. Brown and Tatum cooked Dallas last time they played! Luka and Ky are great on offense and trash on defense. You will see tomorrow night delusional Dallas fan.
@@Teckneek17funny to hear a Boston fan calling someone delusional Lol . And Ky has always been a decent defender when he wants to be. Coming from a neutral observer Boston has the better overall team while Dallas has the 2 best players in the series. The game played in March can be thrown out the window because it's a different Mavs team that's figured out it's rotations. And don't discount the Mavs on defense, they had the best defense In the league for the last 2 months of the season.
@@dustinbarlow1623hahahahahahahahahahaha
The mental gymnastics to make it seem like the Mavericks have a chance is amazing. Celtics in 5
He knew
If ky joins the current Celtics roster Tatum and brown are still better bro.. Celtics look at defense first not offense like all you casuals
EXACTLY. Their take is literally making me go insane
One could argue that they were better than him when he was on their roster.
Ya know for being a former player that had a decent amount of years in the league, Channing can say some wild shit.
Boy, all this Luka talk. I hope the Celtics are listening and ready to hand the Beats by Dre to the Mavs.
All this talk about Luka... maybe cuz he is literally #1 in every stat these playoffs other than blocks. In the 2024 playoffs, Luka is #1 in Pts, Rebs, Assists, Steals, FG made, FT made, and 3pt FG made. And the Mavs beat all 50win teams on the way here. Bos beat 0 teams w/50 wins, and all were missing a major player. So yeah, Luka and the Mavs run is much more impressive.
@ufcislife1 nobody said they were not impressive. Everybody knows Luka is great. I'm just saying I hope the Celtics are listening. And here you go with this long-winded paragraph.
@@elijahbarry6532 Well, when u start with "Boy, all this talk about Luka"... you sound like you haven't been watching basketball the last few months. Or years. So, my bad.
@ufcislife1 ah, you must see yourself as an expert, by the way you've been in everyones comment. You should take a break.
@@elijahbarry6532 .. Unlike most, I do actually watch the games. And im off work today, so I got NOTHIN BUT TIME. Thanks for your concern.
It’s funny how these guys always talk about what the mavs can do to Boston but never what the Celtics can do to the mavs.. interesting
They ask the question but do not really answer how. They spew Luka this and Kyrie this, fade away turn around tomahawk dunk 3-pointer moves. But not really answer how they can match if Bos begins to hunt Kyrie/Luka.
You’re reaching a bit. Every outlet is talking about how Dallas is going to get dog walked. This podcast is an anomaly
@@mrqidvPJ dropped 27 twice in OKC series. Not impossible
Not really, it's obvious people talk about better team.
Watch Jason Timpf or any Locked on Celtics podcast. There is a lot of content on NBA finals. Don’t have to watch them in particular if you don’t agree to what they say.
It’s beyond crazy how much people under estimate the Celtics
you mean under estimate how bad they will choke again
@@jamiehorvath2507you are acting like it’s the same team since that finals
Maybe cuz the East is so much weaker than the West. Fact: Boston didn't play a single 50win team in these playoffs. All season when they played a 50W team, (only 10 times, lol) they were only 5-5. Just these playoffs DAL has played 17games vs 50W teams. They are 12-5. Boston may win the ring, but its hard to know how good they are when they rarely play high level competition.
.. these Celts have been to 6 ConfFinals and no ring. One of only 2 teams in history to have that unimpressive distinction. The truth hurts sometimes.
@@ufcislife1Denver didn’t face 50 win team last season playoffs so that mean their run was easy?
“That Celtics team is stacked! That’s why if they win it Tatum won’t be considered the best player in the world!”
5 minutes earlier…
“I might take Derrick Lively as the 3rd player in this series” on either team after Luka and Kyrie
All these dudes wanna take Dallas over Boston so bad, but if Boston wins “they are stacked, they should’ve won”…. I haven’t seen a more hypocritical position to take, congratulations Channing Frye
Derrick Lively has impacted the playoffs more than any TRUE big in the last 10 years. He has the highest + and - number of every player in the playoffs so far. The only player with a higher + and - Rating in the last 15 years was Manu Ginoboli. Name one Big who can push Kat and Gobert out of the way simultaneously for a rebound, and do it over and over again in a seven game series?
Haters gonna hate; chokets gonna choke (you know who you are)
@@dustinbarlow1623 I’m not trying to discredit Lively, I think he is awesome. But if you say the Mavericks have the top-3 players in this series, and Lively is 3rd, then if the Celtics win I don’t wanna hear that “they were stacked” and “they were supposed to win” in order to discredit Tatum.
If you think the Mavs have the 3 best players, and if the Celtics win, then you have to give massive credit to Tatum and the Celtics for beating a team that has 3 players (Luka, Kyrie, and Lively) all better than all of the Celtics guys
@@PaM07675it’s not that they believe that the mavs are better bro
Most of these people are lebron Stan’s and don’t wanna see Tatum nor Luka already pass where their goat was at his career so they discredit everything they’re doing
And to call Boston a super team is like calling the 2020 Lakers a super team
I don’t understand why assembling a home grown roster and adding a reject player no one wanted because health concerns (porzingus) and a guy who got traded from his title home (jrue) as your anchor defender is a super team 😂
It’s called a great front office assembling a team that has everything you need
And none of these guys were awarded as “the best in their position” not even Tatum is regarded as the best in his position when awarded an award that states “this guy is a top 5 player in the league” 😂😂😂
Fair enough, I don't need to watch now. Thanks for saving me the 50 minutes 😂😂😂
With these takes, the channel should be renamed to “We’re straight trippin’”
Mavericks in 6
04 PISTONS WERE BAD ASS. THEY SHUT DOWN SHAQ AND KOBE. Chase Warriors OFF THE 3 Funnel inside
Derrick Lively at his best averages 9 points, and 7 rebounds even in the post season.
What are we doing here?
Even with Porzingis coming back from injury him putting up anything under 13-14 Points, and 5 rebounds, with subpar defense would be an off night.
LOL Lively almost averages as many assists a game as Payton Pritchard. You are absolutely about to find out who Lively is.
@@dustinbarlow1623 This is literally a lie. He is averaging 1 assists a game. Payton Pritchard averages 3.4 assist on the season.
Again what are we doing here
The narratives are getting insane 😂😂. People are literally referring to Lively as the third best player now 💀💀💀
Fuck outta here Kyrie better than Tatum, now the media is just cooked at this point
Celtics don’t have anyone to mimic kyrie & luka but neither do Mavs have anyone to mimic Jaylen or Jason 🤣🤷🏻♂️ dumbest take ever
LOL The Mavs literally scrimmage among one another and constantly defend Luka and Kyrie who are far more prolific scorers than Brown or Tatum.
@@dustinbarlow1623Luka and kys average together is 59 brown and Tatum is 60…not to mention they are way better on defense.. stop making stuff up and posting it as facts it’s a bad look.
Omfg the Kyrie simping here is getting RIDICULOUS.
I can assure you, he would absolutely never be leading our current Cs team, and saying he would be the “alpha” when playing alongside this matured version of the Js is literally laughable.
Also… saying he can and should defend Jrue OR JT is actually reaching the point of psychosis.
Kyrie can't GUARD Jrue????? Cmon now
Mavs are gonna wind 4-2
I'm sorry at this stage Brown n Tatum are more Alphas than Kyrie
LOL You arent an alpha till you actually win something. Luka and Kyrie both have won big time championships. Luka won the 2nd biggest in Europe as the MVP and Kyrie won the biggest won in an NBA championship. Brown and Tatum have been serious duds on the final stage.
Kyrie is literally only an “alpha” when he doesn’t have to be the real team leader/alpha lol
Channing Frye needs to get fired. This dude was so wrong it was cringey😂 omg Kyrie on Tatum? Really bro!! How’s that working for you? 😂
Can’t believe they was bragging about gafford and lively 😂😂😂. They were so trash
I think people miss who Kyrie and KD are. They are unstoppable but they are not leaders. They are best when they don't have to lead. Kyrie is balling because the weight is on Luka to lead. And that's fine but if you understand that you don't put them in bad situations where you expect them to lead..
Richard’s face when Channing said kyrie on Tatum 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 these dudes are the biggest haters I’ve ever seen
Lol this guy really said he'll take Lively over KP. 🤡 KP with 20pts in 20mins while Lively had 2pts and 5 fouls
Road trip to Dallas does that answer you question Mark cuban got Irvin’s Back need I say more
Frye lost all credibility suggesting Kyrie is gonna defend Tatum and KP isn’t better than Lively
I CANNOT WAIT for the Celts to demolish the Mavs
Celtics have been disrespected so much during this playoff run. When you hear some of the arguments for the mavs winning there is never any valid reasons or talking points it’s just “Luka and kyrie”
You are about to have a rude awakening and i cant wait XD
@@jaylanwilliams1660The Mavs have also been disrespected. Many picked the Clippers to beat them in round 1! No one thought they could beat Okc in the 2nd round! Honestly, who cares what the media's opinions are. I believe it will be a close series.
@@jaylanwilliams1660 Valid reason #1: Celtics have nobody to match up against Luka defensively while Mavs have defenders with length to throw at Tatum/Brown. #2: Mavs are the bigger team. Celtics have more "skilled" starters but of the 4 smallest starters on the floor three are Celtics + Tatum is smaller than the Mavs point guard. #3: Mavs have a better bench. #4: Mavs have a more experienced coach. #5: Al Horford could look old chasing Derrick Lively all series.
@@TheGamingHoser WHAT? The Celts have 4 guys that can cover Luka. The Mavs cannot cover 5 shooters that will be on the floor the whole time. Celts are better defensive and offensive team. They beat the snot out of the Mavs last time they met.
It’s baffling guys who played and won rings sounds silly at time’s whn talking ball. I’m taking JT over Luka because he can do EVERYTHING Luka does on offense but is a way better defender also KY and Luka are not more battle tested thn the J’s? Wut are we doing pep’s🤦♀️
This is the Championship series! NO ONE! NO ONE! is taking Tatum or Brown over Irving or Doncic. Not on a stage like this.
All Dallas needs is a couple stops to beat the Celtics? Because the Celtics can't make stops? Please, these takes are trash.
Luka taking this year personally!
Those 4 MVP votes pissed him off.
Lmaooo
They must feel so stupid after game 3 😂.
LeBron did not beat the Pistons in their prime. Ben Wallace wasn't even on the team and the rest were older. Those Cavs teams were better than the Warriors teams, so they would beat the Pistons.
Its reverse psychology. Cheer for luka but hope he fails than elevate tatum
Kyrie just found himself in the position of being with LeBron 2.0 The one player who plays the closest to LeBron minus the athletic prowess. It's not a fluke this is working.
I had to click off at 20:52 💀mans said Kyrie would be the best player on the Celtics rn. Stay off drugs kids
He would
100% he would because tatum and brown would bow to him
He wasn’t the best player on the Celtics when he was playing for the Celtics. He just took the most shots
Not true. Even Tatum said in an interview that Kyrie was the best player at the time.
@@bj0526 you have sense explain your cartoon take
Mavs in 6 and I'm a Celtics fan.
Dallas in 6. Channing knows wat he talking about?
Post up lil Kyrie
How did that work out for Ant who is 10X better than Jaylen Brown.
Frye is missing JR's point. The hate is strong on these ones.
So Jaylen brown can’t get Luka switched on him make him play defense
04 Pistons pretty easy. Jefferson intentionally put the bad defense matchup out there. lol he ain’t slick.
When channing said they always played with all star caliber players, I’ll exclude when they had Kyrie and hayward. But in the past years every person on that team was playing all star caliber on that team and that team only. Almost every player after they left or got traded, they have struggled on other teams. Why doesn’t anyone think maybe the jays make everyone around them play better ?
I love this media blitz to build up the underdog Mavs. All of a sudden, Kyrie is a genius in everyone's eyes before the series has even begun. Celtics have won the past 4 in a row against Dallas, most in blowouts. After Game 1, we'll see how the stories are written 👀. Go C's 👊
What are u all sniffing
These 2 guys are so bius just hate them talking about this rj pls u looking attention
Gafford and lively are now Shaq and Yao ming😂. All they do is catch lobs like be for real man
Its because Todays Bigs are not really Bigs, and Gafford and Lively can run the court as effective as a wing. Gafford and Lively can close out on a 3 point play as quick as PJ and DJJ for the most part. They are freak athletes. Gafford and Lively would start on 3/4 of teams in the NBA just by themselves. Dallas has both of them on the same team. Most are lucky to have one elite big, Dallas has two.
@@dustinbarlow1623elite? 😂😂😂😂😂
They set some mean screens too and Livelys on off numbers are amazing for someone who " just catches lobs and dunks" Lol He was a plus 100 for the last series which is amazing for any player, especially a rookie big man
@@reneewilliams5777 Lively has not missed a Dunk this post season. Hes on track to set a record for best FG% of a big in 20 years regarding the playoffs. And Gafford is only 5% behind him. The closest Celtic to a shooting % of Lively is Jaylen Brown at 54%, Horford their big is shooting 46%. What does this say? No team has been able to keep Lively or Gafford off the rim.
Mavericks are America’s team
Which is ironic because their one superstar is Slovenian
@@slytoe44 Kyrie Baby!
@@dustinbarlow1623 I already know he and Luka will get theirs. But will lively, Jones Jr, and Washington get theirs? We’ll see.
15 minutes talking about the warriors and the 04 Pistons is a little much. Nobody really gives a damn.
When boston wins this in 5 yall gotta make 1 more pod to admit how wrong you were then never make another podcast again😂
Boston is going to struggle with the same problem as Minnesota, their Bench is not deep enough.
@@dustinbarlow1623bench has Peyton, Sam and horford mavs only have Luka and kyrie. Dallas is super fuxked
@@Teckneek17Luka and Kyrie gotta be the best duo to ever play together if they made it to the Finals with only 2 players by beating the #1 seed as a 5th seed. Beating the #1 defense with young Jordan as a 5th seed, and being top 3 in the clutch.
@dustinbarlow1623 they have just as deep of a bench as Dallas 😂 KP is back so that slots AL back to the bench and then houser and Pritchard will come in when Luka goes to the bench that's plenty of depth tatum and brown are gonna play 40 minutes they don't need a lot of depth. Minnesota didn't have any reliable offensive production outside of Ant boston has an abundance of it and are pretty much as good defensively as them that's gonna be a huge difference. Boston has four guys that could drop 30+ any given night Minnesota had 1.5 😂 .....Boston is gonna hold the mavs to about 110 a game and score 117 a game simple as that
"Lively over KP" That alone should stop you from talking basketball again mr. frye chicken.
Ben Wallace didn’t play against Cleveland . 4 times defensive player of year . No one brings it up. Just to make lebron look good
The Mavs usually lose game one so if that happens I’m not going to panic. Mavs in six.
RJ gives Lex Luther vibes
good show guys keep up the good work - Mavs in 6
Gafford starts not Lively.
Jason Tatum missed his window of being seen as the best player in the league when he lost in 2022. That was his chance to shine, win a championship and be called “the best player in the world”.
He was 23 lol
He's just entering his prime now, so there is still definitely time, but he has a hell of a lot of competition.
i don't think that's why he's not viewed as the best in the world, he's just not as good as luka, giannis and obviously jokic
playing poorly in your first finals at the age he was isn't a good thing obviously but anyone who hates on him for that is on fraud watch
besides that, when did he miss the window of being seen as better than kyrie because that's the truly baffling thing in this video
Did lebron also miss it when he got swept in the finals his first go around? 😂😂 this needs to stop
If there's a player designed to guard KD, its Tayshaun Prince
Prince was far too small.
Nah he’s 6’9 super lanky.. would have been no cake walk for kd
Exactly. Tay played d

@@B1DNESSMAN Almost everyone picked the Mavs. Even though they're a huge underdog. Liars lie.
Y’all want to be the underdogs so bad lol 85% of all the analyst are picking the Celtics
Tashon could have guarded KD
People forget the rockets should of beat the warriors in 2018 the warriors was not unbeatable... Detroit was a defensive force it would be a 7 game series give Detroit some love.
Giannis wins with Middleton hitting 40 piece in the finals and avg 25/5/5 (kobe statline)... Giannis best player in the world
Jokic wins with Jamal murray avg 20/10 and hitting every clutch shot in the book... Best player in the world
Steph wins with fucking Wiggins as the 2nd best player (Draymond got played off the floor at times in the finals, Klay was shooting tour dates, Poole avg 12/1/1 in the finals)... But Steph was not the best player in the world?
The bias is so cleat it's sad
The "Tatum over Luka" thing is so overplayed. Tatum is a better on-ball defender, off-ball defender, screener, weak-side roller, rebounder, at-rim driver, and catch-and-shoot player. Luka has a better handle, better pull-up, better float game, better lob game, and better skip-pass court vision.
The former has a lot more value on a loaded team than the latter, and the former "wins the matchup" by being a plus on defense.
At this point, seeing what I've seen, I think I take JB over Luka too. Tatum can guard 2-5 reliably and Brown can guard 1-4 reliably. Luka can guard the weakest of the 2-4 matchups. This series, that isn't good enough.
Out of these players, Kyrie is the 4th best, and at this point looks less valuable than Jrue so maybe 5th. Let's not talk about him like he's 2nd vying for 1st.
Thank you Holy God! Im in hog heaven! Im Beantown for LIFE, God Kyrie Andrew Irving for LOVE! I picked this finals matchup way back around Turkey Day. I'm going to be a MESS this series..so Y'all pray for your boy!!✊🏿💪🏿☘
It’s great how everyone rewrites history…. 2004 NBA Finals wasn’t Pistons winning it… it was Kobe sabotaging his own team by refusing to feed the ball to Shaq. He wanted to win as the best player… and he couldn’t. But if he would have feed Shaq, who the Pistons couldn’t guard, the Lakers would have easily won. I’ll never forgive Kobe for costing my team a championship… all that being said RIP Kobe
Y'all are entertaining and all, but for ex nba players your analysis is laughably bad. Richard say he'll put Kyrie on Pritchard(who might play under 10 minutes per game), luckily for Rich, Channing followed up with an even bigger bullshit, "I'd put Kyrie on Tatum". Crazy stuff. Pure yappers
RJ's point on how Steph and Durant were in conversation for the best players in the world when their roster was loaded, Steph had already won a championship before Durant and KD had already made his case for being a top 3 player in the league when he joined the Warriors. They had separate individual success and then won 72 (!!!) games together. Comparing that to Brown and Tatum isn't apples to apples. We've never seen Tatum see as much individual or team success as either Steph or KD before they joined, with rosters that, as Channing said, have always been able to compete for Finals appearances.
Is Tatum a great player? Sure. Is it fair to dock him for not breaking through already? Probably not. But he was dealt a great hand from the jump, and top 5 players in the world are expected to win with great hands. His roster has been the best in the league for the last two seasons and got better this year. There's no reason he shouldn't hold the trophy this year unless he and the rest of the team crap their pants.
It's big brother syndrome, which can be frustrating (I know first hand). If you win a game against your younger brother, no big deal, you're older, (hopefully) stronger and (hopefully) wiser and SHOULD win. If you LOSE? Humiliations galore. Frontline news. It sucks for him, but he's also the big brother and thus has everything he needs to beat his little brother and avoid humiliation - he just needs to do it. And do it again. And again.
Go Mavs.
I'm Dallas fun but how the f Milwaukee and Washington did make a super team Washington give them arguably the best player Porzingis and stay with who, Milwaukee idiots second best player in Dru for older Dame why what's the reasoning behind that stupidity and they already have Pritchard most underrated player in NBA and the result is a super team vs who just 2 stars one injured, when they closed Indiana without a problem such a good at least 3 all stars next year team 😢Dallas why u where playing F Powell at center since Doncik come over why so soon let go Porzingis injury was the problem not his game, Brunson the same no reason,instead learning from Boston,LA Lakers, KLIPERS u just adding a players to the team who lost in the final of the Western Conference no man they dismantle the team and hope Luka will Cary g league players and the result of that caring the team no playoff and he's beat up brocken this year and I'm hearing Kai Lively c'mon Kai yup he's slowly coming back but the other side have Kai and double that in players and in team who every year is closer just adding one or two players Not get rid of them KUBAN now Dallas would have Brunson and Porz that's all, nobody would be even close to DALLAS 98%Boston Wining the series I'm not wrong I have screen shots talking about Denver and saying that this year Jokic can't do it with Murray hurt no new blood scoring so it's up to u but when series end and will be like Indiana comment this I will never write another NBA comment anymore
The mental gymnastics everyone is doing is hilarious. What does playing a 50 win team going to prove? The regular season stats/win-loss record means NOTHING in the playoffs. ALOT of you in these comments really don't understand basketball and it shows. The media knows Boston is going to win, but they have to pump up the mavericks so they have something to talk about. Boston is going to win comfortably in 5 or 6 game's and then everyone is going to come up with a multitude of excuses as to why the mavericks didn't win
Jayson Tatum.... First of all I would take him over all the dudes that people call the best player in the world.
Consistency with coaching. They've had three coaches in 3 years. Because one of them decided to do something foul in Mazzula was put in as the coach 3 weeks before the season started.
But I would not pick whoever yall call the best player in the world over Jayson Tatum.
I think people undervalue being the best player on your team. Kyrie has NEVER been the best player on a team that's done anything. Kyrie is special too, one of the greatest ever and super clutch. But tatum just averaged 30 10 and 5, led his team in every stat 😂😂😂 kyrie is a scorer and that's about it..
Love y'all, but why do we have to wade through 16 minutes of Pistons/Warriors takes before Finals talk starts? In the words of Cris Carter, "C'MON, MAN!" 😂
I’m ngl idgaf about Jefferson’s opinion on historic teams vs recent teams
All these dudes ever do is because “I played both” they go with the younger guys due to recency bias
If you’re giving the warriors the benefit of the doubt of “their offense” why are you not giving the botd to one of the most dominant defensive teams ever to exist in stopping at minimum Steph and klay then making KD score 50 every night because RECENCY bias say he can’t do it I just seen the jays take away his second and third option and dude got swept because he’s not a real 1 option that can win a big game

Acting like the 2022 warriors were a loaded team when Wiggins was the 2nd best player is crazy stuff. This pod has been pure bullshit, not even entertaining, I couldn't believe my ears every 30 seconds
Y’all didn’t factor in the rebounding advantage for Pistons though. Not saying it would change outcome 100%, but imagine Ben Wallace rebounding over them lol. He could bench press more than that entire team put together.
Imagine if kyrie hadn’t been on a buncha bs the last few years man. So glad he finally understands his “place” in the world and how the world acts so we can see him cook unimpeded. Now he’s running off-ball Steph patterns too. Next 3 years are gonna be special for him.
This is how basketball discourse should be. Lets stop pretending schemes and roster makeup doesn't play a factor. Both the Pistons and Warriors were great in their era. The Pistons schemes would look dated and they would fall behind, not due to talent, but rather a relatively poor roster makeup for the current understanding of the game.
I've always thought Jalen Brown was better than Jason Tatum. I was even hoping Houston would have traded James Harden to Boston and got Jalen Brown in return. I was also pushing for Houston to get Jimmy Butler.
I've never been more hyped about watching a game that will never happen 😢
Scottie Pippen never took the Bulls to the conference finals without Jordan. Not sure how that's become a talking point over the years. Richard is almost my age. He knows better lol
