Yep, I remember an interview where KAT heard reporters laughing when Ant said he eats fast food and snacks and KAT said he doesn’t think it’s funny because he’s a professional and needs to take care of his body an eat healthier.
Give excuses to shai saying hes soooo young even tho luka is actually younger than him. Giving excuses to ant and they will be giving excuses to tatum as well. But let luka lose or have terrible stretches, they might start trying to write up a narrative like “is ky really the number 1?😈” and “should the mavs trade luka?😈😈😈” and bs like that.

Ant been playing non-stop. Last season + playoffs + Team USA + this season + playoffs & Dallas know it. KAT gotta show up. Naz & Jaden took turns in games 1&2 where’s KAT?
honestly i think edward’s is just anxious he’s not gassed . he’s doesn’t want any loss be on him. You can’t make these excuses for Luka. and that’s where maturity comes in.
MEDIA keeps talking about everyone outside from LUKA.. ITS PJ its GM its everyone including KYRIE when he rarely plays well and has one good quarter per game...
@@0007tad I don't think it's fake talent,the playoffs are about matchups.Some teams or individual players change what you got away with during the season.Scouts have time to to sit down and point out weaknesses and tendencies of all teams.During the season you get a brief report on a team because you're on the road possibly every two days.
Now they're talking about how great our team is. Where's the "D level" trade rating for Gafford and PJ and the talk about how Ky and Luka can't defend or how they're hanging around in WCF by accident??
if the wolves do get eliminated will that flip the narrative on Antman? i mean, will the talking heads like SAS, Malika, Perk et al now look at Ja Morant (assuming he has his head straight) or even Jalen Green (if he builds on his improvement this year) next season? i know its still not a wrap but i also can't just walkaway from Ant shooting 30 out of 90 in his last 5 games, if you're the face of the league you should do better than that. besides, imagine if Luka went 30 of 90 for a stretch the media will just bury him.
@@Jerrden ABSOLUTELY 💯 Dumb fanboyism culture always looking for the nExT 🥴 Jokic was able to just play w no pressure, Luka can play w/o this pressure of being the face of the league being placed on his back but Ant at 22 being called the next face of the league and likened to MJ, now when he *inevitably* goes through learning curves, their just gonna tear him down. Smdh
Kawhi played 2 games and both of those they lost, what's your point? Oh yeah Kawhi is injured but he played still. Well, Luka is injured the whole post season and has the best stats for his team. What's the excuse?
You're probably wondering why a 22 year old Anthony Edwards is so tired compared to an "overweight" Luka and Kyrie, who's in his 30s. That's because of his size. Because of the additional muscle mass Ant-Man put on, he has experienced an increase in physical strength, however, a decrease in stamina. In basketball, a Gaurd like Edwards needs more stamina than anybody else, unfortunately for Ant, he prioritized strength/mass over stamina. An example of this is when Trunks was fighting against Cell in Dragonball Z. Victor Wembanyama spoke about this earlier in the season. He understood why he can't just put on a lot of mass because it would sacrifice a lot of his agility. Ant-Man didn't get the memo, and in his current state, he can't use his gaurd skills over a long period of time.
The wolves coaching staff are stubborn man. They should have went small on that game-winner. It might not have made any difference but Luka will have a more agile defender on him.
I hated that Stephen A created that narrative. Now everyone hating on the young man. Such à shame. I hate Social Media. I hope he doesn't pay attention and just works on his conditioning.
Ant just need to choose his spots wisely on defense. Jordan was great at choosing his spot offensively and defensively. His IQ was top notch to know when to rest and to go at you for the kill. But MJ also had less body fat/ weight and had to pick up some muscle weight as time went by. He had a great trainer to know what he needed for every season.
The Wolves made me think they were ready but just let's me know that they coaches came from Denver and it was easy to adjust to cause the coach knew what they like to do or what they would try to change and they not better than Denver but next year Denver will punish them
Ant dont look like himself. I don't see the dogg in him nomore. He don't look like he wants to win. He looks frightened and sluggish. He don't even look like he wants to be on the floor. This not the same ant from the first two series. Either he just doesn't want a ring or he need to lay off the McDonald's and pop eyes. When you want it bad enough you play through tiredness. He just look like he doesn't want it. Something going on with him.
Anthony Edwards is 22 years old and tired? Rodman was in his mid 30's on the Bulls partying hard and coming to games playing and then riding the bike after. No excuse when you are 22
Draymond trying to compare his experience as a 3rd man on the team to the expectations and pressure of being the number one guy on a team (like Ant, Steph, Shaq, Chuck etc) is crazy. Get him off here.
Anthony Edwards is a really, really good NBA player. He is NOT great. He is nowhere near Michael Jordan. Great NBA players show up at playoff times. Did you see Jaylon Brunson of the Knicks? He's shorter than 6'2", yet he consistently got to the spot on the court he wanted and scored the bucket. Some were three's, but many were mid and short-range. That is a great player. I have yet to see Anthony Edwards do that.
comon Rudy gobertt play really well for his skillz play. You know that hes not the most offensive skillz player in the world. But he did his job protect the paint, recover, steals. Ant and KAt needs to play better and smarter. KAT stop with silly fault and Anthony more agressive in the paint, more asertive in the paint. Attack to get the and 1
I just don't understand how this can be an "awful matchup" for Wolves, when they up 20 on Mavs smh. They were also up on Mavs in game 1 as well. Charles just always change his opinions smh and I like Charles.. Just like he said the same thing with Nuggets, "It's a sweep, they ain't winning a game". But what happen when they tied the series.. His mind changed in a heart beat. None of them knows who gonna win and I can assure you, it won't be a sweep. Because Mavs play bad on their home floor, they always played better on the road.
I'm no coach but if only AE would figure out the key is driving to the hoop every time... look at how many free throws he had in the 1st half vs 2nd half...he stopped driving
I thought people needed to pump the breaks on the ANT praise after the Nuggets series. Now i think they need to pump the breaks on the ANT hate... Guys. He's 22. This is what you get with a 22 year old. Flashes of his incredible talent but a lot of mistakes, inefficient nights, and not being used to competing this hard this deep into the season. I've given this speech when i see people roast Tatum for not having a ring yet. Do you know when most Super Stars win their first title? Around 27 or 28. Steph, Lebron, Jordan, Shaq, Isiah Thomas, Jokic, Gannis, Hakeem, Dirk. All were 27 or older when they finally won it. Most of the guys who won it young like Magic had an older Kareem or Kobe had an older Shaq. And Kobe didn’t win one without Shaq until he was around that prime age in his late 20s. You guys kept comparing him to Jordan, you know what Jordan was doing at 22? Failing to beat the Pistons and Celtics. Guess he's a bum choker, too? This is why i didn't buy into the Wolves and Thunder this post season but i think they both have a lot to be optimistic about in the future. Just way too young right now. It's stupid to put all that on a 22 year old. This isn't like football where Patrick Mahomes wins a title in 2 years after getting drafted. It takes 7 or 8 years of developing your game, your shot, your experience, seeing looks, and improving nutrition and conditioning to get to that point where you lead a team as a star to a title. I expect him to have some rough playoff nights and some great moments for years to come. And you clowns will call him a bum for it because it's about instant gratification.
My team is out and at this point I don’t care about who wins it as long as it’s not this cocky smug s.o.b Edwards . Him trying to dunk the ball at the last play of Nuggets series when they we’re letting the clock run was a punk move , much hate from me .
Kat loses this series for the Timberwolves in the off-season. If we're being honest, how significantly has Kat improved his game all of his years in the league? Put Conley's work ethic in Kat's body and you have a hall of famer.
ANT IS OK it's the defense that has him moving way more on offense. and defense again which he has to play being physical an chasing guys. the pace doesn't rest when its on Edwards side of the court lol boy got to be stepping. its sad its due to the position he plays an he that guy on the team. This is the part where u come to the realization on the T wolves side that the guys need help in order to battle us next time around in years to come in the league but that guy has to be a killer and its tough for you guys to find that right now. so its drafting and still waiting for another 3 level scorer with killer mentality
Wow 😮 i just realized ant is jordans son right? So that must mean that luka is jordan. Man I guess the media wasnt just hyper glazing but were actually trying to tell us something wow, amazing 😱

As a heat fan we have made runs last couple years we get no excuses for injuries and being tired smh but the 22 next "Jordan" does😮
the heat are a garbage overrated team
It's called being likeable
1. We have one of the best conditioning programs in the NBA
2. We have one of the best coaches in NBA History.
3. The media does the MJ comparisons...not Ant, learn to separate your hate for the media from the player.
Bro stop lying. The heat got all the credit in the world when they beat teams no one expected them to beat. U fan boys are so delusional and think every one is against your team 😂
This kids 22 yrs old 😭 why are we talking abt a 22 yr old being tired in the playoffs. 🤦🏽♂️
Washington & Gafford gives Dallas what they were missing last yr. They had to trade their depth & defense for Kyrie but they got it back this yr. Don’t forget Lively too
Ant was gassed from trash talking.
T-Wolves team was built to beat denver but will struggle against other teams that go small effectively.
Part of that is true but I think the inexperienced of Anthony Edward's in the playoffs will play a role in how this series will go.
yup u right bro I don’t know why the media couldn’t see that lol this is a very bad matchup for minnosota kyrie and luka was glad minnosota won cause they know they can’t kill the wolves bigs with pick n roll game
Them beating Denver was their championship 😂😂😂
@@Big-Goldie45 yeah fr isn't like Luka and ky like the one of the most clutch duo's left in the playoffs? Like that's deadly enough and both are good at different paces. Very tough guarding both
@@KAye633 that's so true but I feel like Denver was a better match up team wise because they had there match ups. for Dallas you have two clutch individuals in there own and a few shooters and they like to play small ball alot. Rudy and Kat look like there having a hard time defending those wing players.
Ant been playing non-stop. Last season + playoffs + Team USA + this season + playoffs & Dallas know it. KAT gotta show up. Naz & Jaden took turns in games 1&2 where’s KAT?
Stop.... dont play yourself,, you guys blew him up all thru the playoffs, he's 22 ,,he's getting schooled by a WHITE boy..
honestly i think edward’s is just anxious he’s not gassed . he’s doesn’t want any loss be on him. You can’t make these excuses for Luka. and that’s where maturity comes in.
MEDIA keeps talking about everyone outside from LUKA..
ITS PJ its GM its everyone including KYRIE when he rarely plays well and has one good quarter per game...
Anthony don't look tired he looks scared
Fake talent...wow, he has bounce, so does half the NBA...
@@0007tadliterally after 2 bad games …everything is off the table for him ? 😂 at 22 years old
@@0007tad I don't think it's fake talent,the playoffs are about matchups.Some teams or individual players change what you got away with during the season.Scouts have time to to sit down and point out weaknesses and tendencies of all teams.During the season you get a brief report on a team because you're on the road possibly every two days.
@@wesholland6144 your point ?
Hell no Luka playing half injured aint no excuses !
Ant is to young while kairi played warriors in multiple finals so experience is the best lesson..and kairi being matured is scary..
Media still can't fathom Luka being the next Jordan.
Its killing them, that a WHITE guy ( jokic as well ) is the best player/s in the NBA and nobody can D him...
ANT on that last posession blows it😂
LOL chuck you called this a sweep to the wolves now you changed it to the mavs , thats so funny 😂
Luka is showing why there are levels to this. Dude is in Masterclass.
Man why does Chuck keep saying he picked the Mavs? That man was howling on the set 😂😂
Exactly he is trying to jinx the mavs
Now they're talking about how great our team is. Where's the "D level" trade rating for Gafford and PJ and the talk about how Ky and Luka can't defend or how they're hanging around in WCF by accident??
So you’re upset that TNT is praising your team?
@@Rickle_Pick23 No, he's upset TNT wasn't praising his team throughout the whole season
Luka has been making them morons eat their shit since he came into the nba
They dont have a clue, they blew up Ant man, and where is he...
Anthony Edwards is just another Ja Morant. Let Luka and Kyrie expose this team for what it really is.
The face of the league 😂😂😂
I don't care how hot Naz Reid is, he don't take the last shot man
THAT'S THE WEAKEST EXCUSE I EVERY HEARD!!!!!!
They need to have rules on how often you can access oxygen inhalers
I don’t think so
The next MJ can’t be gassed.
The next Michael Jackson
Nah that’s crazy 🤣🤣 Michael Jackson lmaoooo
Janet Jackson
if the wolves do get eliminated will that flip the narrative on Antman? i mean, will the talking heads like SAS, Malika, Perk et al now look at Ja Morant (assuming he has his head straight) or even Jalen Green (if he builds on his improvement this year) next season? i know its still not a wrap but i also can't just walkaway from Ant shooting 30 out of 90 in his last 5 games, if you're the face of the league you should do better than that. besides, imagine if Luka went 30 of 90 for a stretch the media will just bury him.
Luka will be the face of the league, and he will earn it by WINNING.
Luka was shooting around 30% about halfway into the OKC series
I feel like Ant was anointed way too early. Bro is too young, this is his first deep playoff run.
@@Jerrden ABSOLUTELY 💯 Dumb fanboyism culture always looking for the nExT 🥴 Jokic was able to just play w no pressure, Luka can play w/o this pressure of being the face of the league being placed on his back but Ant at 22 being called the next face of the league and likened to MJ, now when he *inevitably* goes through learning curves, their just gonna tear him down. Smdh
Cade better than ant , ant just has plenty help
1st Round the Clippers were too broken
2nd Round the Thunder were too young
3rd Round the Wolves are too tired
😂
What’s the excuse in the Finals?
Finals: No Porzingis. Tatum isn't clutch
@@ImnotNormWell yeah but our fans are going to stay humble
I mean the clippers didn’t have their best player. U gonna pretend like that doesn’t matter?
Kawhi played 2 games and both of those they lost, what's your point? Oh yeah Kawhi is injured but he played still. Well, Luka is injured the whole post season and has the best stats for his team. What's the excuse?
@@NorthkalmanThere is no excuse. Mavs have just been the better team in every round. Plain and simple
"Going to the finals..."
It's just 2 games... And 2 very close ones.

Now we using the gassed excuse for ant bruh stop
each day i hope there won't be a draymond on the show but yet tnt keeps disappointing
You're probably wondering why a 22 year old Anthony Edwards is so tired compared to an "overweight" Luka and Kyrie, who's in his 30s.
That's because of his size.
Because of the additional muscle mass Ant-Man put on, he has experienced an increase in physical strength, however, a decrease in stamina. In basketball, a Gaurd like Edwards needs more stamina than anybody else, unfortunately for Ant, he prioritized strength/mass over stamina. An example of this is when Trunks was fighting against Cell in Dragonball Z.
Victor Wembanyama spoke about this earlier in the season. He understood why he can't just put on a lot of mass because it would sacrifice a lot of his agility. Ant-Man didn't get the memo, and in his current state, he can't use his gaurd skills over a long period of time.
Everybody speaking like scientists... Hope you trolling with the Trunks-cell example, ant Is average muscled. He's very Athletic but not that big 😂
The wolves coaching staff are stubborn man. They should have went small on that game-winner. It might not have made any difference but Luka will have a more agile defender on him.
MJ never needed to suck on some oxygen. Just sayin.
He was home didn’t need to
I hated that Stephen A created that narrative. Now everyone hating on the young man. Such à shame. I hate Social Media. I hope he doesn't pay attention and just works on his conditioning.
He also didn’t play every other day also… Don’t forget..
AE is outclassed. Out-shined. Outnumber. Outed. Dude's not him, clear and evident by the two him's on the other team.
Ant Man learned a much needed lesson in front of the world about writing a check that your back side can't cash😮😮😮
Ant getting every excuse in the book
Vince Carter was right about the two big men of Dallas being so active around the boards.
Chuck: This team is going to the Finals = Kiss of Death
Damn the Anthony Edwards praising stopped immediately 😂😅
Ikr? It's only been 3 games
ANTHONY EDWARDS WHERE ARE YOU!!! WE NEED YOU ANT MAN
Ha, love the jolly ranchers in Ant's locker, Smart Water is my favorite too 😆
He needs to change his diet if he wants to be great.
He's 22 in the conference finals. Come on.
😂 stop making excuses please
All the Wolves fans who already crowned themselves, where yall at?!😂😂
that desk must be as tall as me
Draymond has a great basketball mind. He’s almost always on point with his takes.
I'm all in on Revux. Presales have the highest returns, and this one’s gold.
Ant just need to choose his spots wisely on defense. Jordan was great at choosing his spot offensively and defensively. His IQ was top notch to know when to rest and to go at you for the kill. But MJ also had less body fat/ weight and had to pick up some muscle weight as time went by. He had a great trainer to know what he needed for every season.
Bed went to shit as soon as Antman did the waving thingy to Denver fans. Karma is a bitch.🎉
Ant so scary and menacing as always, GO MAVS🔥
All of them, including Barkley did say Wolves should win. Only Kenny was hesitant since he did say if the game is close in the 4th Mavs can win
How can he be gassed? He’s 22 years old. Pathetic.
Revux is being mentioned everywhere - definitely a project to watch!
25-5 with Gafford and Washington in their last 30 games. Wow. Lively and PJ just as deadly, maybe more so.
The Wolves made me think they were ready but just let's me know that they coaches came from Denver and it was easy to adjust to cause the coach knew what they like to do or what they would try to change and they not better than Denver but next year Denver will punish them
Presales have the highest returns, and Revux is the best one I’ve seen.
They play good defense because they have the energy, kyrie and luka are taking turns on offense which gives them rest
Ant dont look like himself. I don't see the dogg in him nomore. He don't look like he wants to win. He looks frightened and sluggish. He don't even look like he wants to be on the floor. This not the same ant from the first two series. Either he just doesn't want a ring or he need to lay off the McDonald's and pop eyes. When you want it bad enough you play through tiredness. He just look like he doesn't want it. Something going on with him.
Agreed. Hope he's not going through something. He said he's fine, but he doesn't look like it.
Because he's tired
He looks sick no lie
Anthony Edwards is 22 years old and tired? Rodman was in his mid 30's on the Bulls partying hard and coming to games playing and then riding the bike after. No excuse when you are 22
Remind me again why Draymond is still here?
yeah, hope he doesn’t become part of the crew going forward. weirdo.
They’re trying to get him familiar with the job because they’re breaking up the crew 😢
Because he has a great basketball mind
Ant not taking care of his body and it’s catching up to him. He out there eating Popeyes and celebrating too hard after they beat Denver
Draymond trying to compare his experience as a 3rd man on the team to the expectations and pressure of being the number one guy on a team (like Ant, Steph, Shaq, Chuck etc) is crazy. Get him off here.
Anthony Edwards is a really, really good NBA player. He is NOT great. He is nowhere near Michael Jordan. Great NBA players show up at playoff times. Did you see Jaylon Brunson of the Knicks? He's shorter than 6'2", yet he consistently got to the spot on the court he wanted and scored the bucket. Some were three's, but many were mid and short-range. That is a great player. I have yet to see Anthony Edwards do that.
Jordan at age 22 wasn't polished either
I suspect the tailbone is bothering him more than he lets on. He hasn’t been quite the same that moment in game 6 of the Denver series.
I see Revux doing 50x, maybe even 100x after it goes live on major exchanges.
anthony edwards and his crews will come back strong.
they ain't weak. i believe in them.
Game 7 Minnesota for me
Draymond hating Rudy is so funny and random
comon Rudy gobertt play really well for his skillz play. You know that hes not the most offensive skillz player in the world. But he did his job protect the paint, recover, steals. Ant and KAt needs to play better and smarter. KAT stop with silly fault and Anthony more agressive in the paint, more asertive in the paint. Attack to get the and 1
I just don't understand how this can be an "awful matchup" for Wolves, when they up 20 on Mavs smh. They were also up on Mavs in game 1 as well. Charles just always change his opinions smh and I like Charles.. Just like he said the same thing with Nuggets, "It's a sweep, they ain't winning a game". But what happen when they tied the series.. His mind changed in a heart beat. None of them knows who gonna win and I can assure you, it won't be a sweep. Because Mavs play bad on their home floor, they always played better on the road.
I'm no coach but if only AE would figure out the key is driving to the hoop every time... look at how many free throws he had in the 1st half vs 2nd half...he stopped driving
Y’all better be careful. Ant wasn’t even in his mid range. He’s gonna go for 30+ in games 3 and 4
I'd really love for the Mavs to win it all. I'd bet Dirk would be so happy!
I thought people needed to pump the breaks on the ANT praise after the Nuggets series. Now i think they need to pump the breaks on the ANT hate...
Guys. He's 22. This is what you get with a 22 year old. Flashes of his incredible talent but a lot of mistakes, inefficient nights, and not being used to competing this hard this deep into the season.
I've given this speech when i see people roast Tatum for not having a ring yet. Do you know when most Super Stars win their first title? Around 27 or 28. Steph, Lebron, Jordan, Shaq, Isiah Thomas, Jokic, Gannis, Hakeem, Dirk. All were 27 or older when they finally won it. Most of the guys who won it young like Magic had an older Kareem or Kobe had an older Shaq. And Kobe didn’t win one without Shaq until he was around that prime age in his late 20s. You guys kept comparing him to Jordan, you know what Jordan was doing at 22? Failing to beat the Pistons and Celtics. Guess he's a bum choker, too? This is why i didn't buy into the Wolves and Thunder this post season but i think they both have a lot to be optimistic about in the future. Just way too young right now.
It's stupid to put all that on a 22 year old. This isn't like football where Patrick Mahomes wins a title in 2 years after getting drafted. It takes 7 or 8 years of developing your game, your shot, your experience, seeing looks, and improving nutrition and conditioning to get to that point where you lead a team as a star to a title. I expect him to have some rough playoff nights and some great moments for years to come. And you clowns will call him a bum for it because it's about instant gratification.
Naz Reid 7 for 9 from 3? Damn.
My team is out and at this point I don’t care about who wins it as long as it’s not this cocky smug s.o.b Edwards . Him trying to dunk the ball at the last play of Nuggets series when they we’re letting the clock run was a punk move , much hate from me .
CHARLES 'PRISONER OF THE MOMENT' BARKLEY.
Anyone else noticing the hype around Qventi? Feels like another Revux in the making.
Kat loses this series for the Timberwolves in the off-season. If we're being honest, how significantly has Kat improved his game all of his years in the league? Put Conley's work ethic in Kat's body and you have a hall of famer.
Wish he treated European players like he treated KD, energy wise
ANT IS OK it's the defense that has him moving way more on offense. and defense again which he has to play being physical an chasing guys. the pace doesn't rest when its on Edwards side of the court lol boy got to be stepping. its sad its due to the position he plays an he that guy on the team.
This is the part where u come to the realization on the T wolves side that the guys need help in order to battle us next time around in years to come in the league but that guy has to be a killer and its tough for you guys to find that right now. so its drafting and still waiting for another 3 level scorer with killer mentality
Watchin nba gone suck wit out these dudes
I look forward more to these guys talking than the actual nba games
Wow 😮 i just realized ant is jordans son right? So that must mean that luka is jordan. Man I guess the media wasnt just hyper glazing but were actually trying to tell us something wow, amazing 😱
