Love the full pod on RUclips! Hopefully bill puts the full Sunday pods out too!
Idk how but I'm just now aware that Russilo has his own show. One of my favorite basketball analysts. Can't wait to listen to the breakdown
Listen to his life advice pods , gems if you like Russillo
Thanks raja for a measured honest recollection of your career. Its refreshing.
DJJ + PJ + Lively + Gafford = 25 points
White + Jrue + Tingus + Al = 57 points
ESPN take notes. These two are elite.
“Elite” is a stretch
Damn good Podcast. Cool to see RR coming around on Jaylen Brown.
It can't be denied! He's gotta play that defense when his shots off, if he does he'll get the recognition
Not a thing I disagreed with Raja on this pod. Ex-players in the media bring different level of depth to the discussion it is very entertaining to listen to. Also love the fact that he is comfortable in his own skin to make fun of himself and of course little bit of humbleness goes a long way.
I agree, Raja explaining how forcing superstar players even 3 feet off their spot is a win in his book was so cool to hear about.
Had never heard Raja Bell talk. Pretty insightful well-spoken analyst
His show “Real Ones” is worth checking out, great pod
Tatum shot poorly, but facilitated, rebounded, & defended at a very high level. Mavs were throwing 3-4 at JT/JB drives all night
As a Mavs fan, JT played great last night. His decision making on offense and his defense and rebounding were on point.
I thought Ryen wasn't going to be another national media type talking about how "terrible" Tatum played, makes him sound like a casual. When Dallas is focusing that much attention on him, he makes the right play and other guys get easy buckets. Why is that so difficult to understand? His defense has been fantastic, he's getting rebounds, he doesn't need to score a lot to have a good game. I've been hearing all playoffs long about Tatum having these supposed "bad" games and you look at the stat sheet and see everyone else on the team is benefitting from the way teams have attacked him. I'm just glad JT has matured and has become a much better playmaker than in the past, and if the NBA tallied assists the same way the NHL does, he would have a TON. I'm over 8 minutes into this video and Ryen hasn't even mentioned Porzingus once, you think he might have had an impact on the game? But no, Ryen wants to talk about Tatum being terrible.
@@uzi978 in don't get the Hate. Tatum is a great player. And the Celtics have won so much in the past 6-7 years. Shit is ridiculous. The media is just weird some times
@@johnathanrobles9754 I think they just want him to carry the team because of dramatic entertainment value of a high scoring superstar but its just a balanced strong team he does not have to carry the scoring load at all. He could probably be a high volume scorer but chooses not to. That being said he shouldnt be overly credited for their success either its clearly just a very very good team.
@@uzi978 Tatum had six turnovers dribbling into triple teams... that's bad basketball!!
What do you mean Tatum "struggled"? Didn't he just... not shoot a lot? Because his team didn't need him to?
He had six turnovers trying to drive the ball against three defenders!
@@augustmoon0004he had 16 potential assists, 11 rebounds and played great defense at times. No credit for that or is basketball all about ppg and turnovers? Btw when you’re up 20, you take risks you wouldn’t normally take. Theirs room for mistakes, that’s why he turned it over about 3 times!
I think Tatum was great defensively. His rebounding and defense on the bigs was huge
Kyrie 0-11 vs the Celtics since calendar year 2022
Wont mean a thing if he goes 4-13.
@@je5406calculate the odds of that happening....hint...I've got a better chance of dating a supermodel...lol
You guys are starting to beat dead horses with the life advice. Tighten it up fellas
Except for Poringis scoring 20, the game went pretty much like I expected. His defensive presence changed how the Mavs operated in the paint. Kyrie had the typical slow start that he's had all playoffs, except the Celtics focused on him defensively rather than Luka. Luka scored, didn't expect him to not get any assists, but Celtics defense rotates superbly on close out against the others and even when they did get open shots they reverted back to the median rather than the career shooting everyone was having. Mavs should get 2 wins. Celtics lose 1 game a series and Luka/Kyrie will have a game where they drop 70+ and dominate.
Jrue was killer on D. It won't show up in teh box score but damn.
also tatum shut down completely, something every team has been able to do this postseason. but brown has that dog in him
@@slightexag Fore sure. And Tatum had the sense not to shoot them out of the game, which he would have done in previous years.
@@slightexagof course when they have 3 people on him when he goes to the basket.
@@cvgodd1432 luka can't ever be shut down completely. tatum can and is shut down all the time-the only reason Cs can handle this series is KP, Brown, and Jrue taking over some scoring. tatum's always been easy to gameplan against--it's not just getting swarmed when going to the basket but daring him to shoot bad shots which he loves to do anyway. if you watched C's this year, you know his favorite shot is a lazy contested sidestep 3, no matter how frequently he totally bricks it. that's why goldenstate had such a good time against the Cs. i only say this because if the celtics win and tatum gets fMVP, it will be a complete sham award
I like this men his one of the few out here who’s actually tellin it how is it great video Ryen
2K cheat code Raja Bell 🔥
1:01:12 dino nuggets story had me dying thinking about Russillo in a high end kitchen eyeing some kids plate as he makes small talk
Raja!! I used to watch video of him so I can learn how to play D! Helped me so much! This is the dude the NbA got rid of because he was a threat to Kobe! 😂 if raja got on a contending team in the west. Kobe would’ve been in trouble!
you guys are great
If Porzingis plays like this going forward Mavs have no chance.
I dont understand how the national media is still trashing tatum even tho he got 6 more points, 3 more assists, 3 more 3s and 7 more rebounds than kyrie.
I'm going to assume you are a C's fan. As a Mavs fan lemme tell you the national media does not know shit about basketball. As fans the best things we can do is find a few good analists (Legler, Russillo are good examples) and have our own basketball discussions amongst friends if we are lucky.
National media can be infuriating. Tatum had a very good game last night.
He has the best +- and if you count 8:24 the swing swing he'd have 17 assists
Someone who knows basketball says Tatum was bad did you watch the game he was covering the 5 he had 11 boards 5 assists, defense dominating. Oh because he didn’t force himself to get 30 that’s a bad game? These clowns don’t know anything he creates so much.
16 potential assists/ hockey assists! They packed the paint when he went towards the rim, same thing they did to ant but Tatum can pass!
Great point about desperation. Hit home
That Sinner and Alcaraz match was the sports event of the week.
Boston said “cook our guys one-to-one or have your mediocre shooters take above the break threes.”
Pretty much.. you can tell it was getting to their heads when they were wide open and nobody ran to contest their shots 😂. I know it would mess with my head!
Ryen, why do you have two dutch ovens/crock pots? How often are you using both?
That's a question I'd like an answer on!
Tatum absolutely did not have a bad game....he lead +- which means his decision making was incredible
Only thing i've been trying to remember this whole pod was the name of your old audio engineer? Thought it was Kyle for a second just based off his voice. Thought he really got himself together. lol.
Legend has it Luka is still whining to the refs for a first quarter no call
creative
That hiccup around 9-minute mark was weird.
Before I watched this video, I thought you were talking about the Mavs.
The GOAT
Who?
Game 2 will be more important than game one… let’s go Celtics.
The Celtics need to stop fooling around in the third quarter. They need to keep their foot on the gas and keep the punishment going. Now that is said . What are the adjustments the Mavericks going to make . For Luka to have only two assists and to be leading his team is unbelievable. Now let’s hope The Big Deuce puts on a show for the crowd this Sunday
A $50 medical bill is crazy lol
Raja was a DOG on the court. Most effective Kobe defender, i’ve seen him piss Melo off, straight up smack fantastic scoring swings like Joe Johnson, Tyreke Evans, OJ Mayo
He doesn’t get talked about as much when people talk about those mid-2000s Suns teams because fans tend to remember them for their offense and fair enough, but they had a great stopper too.
Add zingus and drew to any playoff team and they're making the finals & likely winning the title. Just too much firepower. If (and this is a big if-) zingus can stay healthy Celtics will likely grab multiple titles. Drew and zingus cover up Brown and Tatum's weaknesses.
Thy all cover for each other bos is a complete team with lot’s of experience
I dont like boston but this glazing of a 2 man team going against a team full of vets, not by age but experience and expecting them to have a chance is crazy
Plus kyrie as a vet might not be as good as you guys think.
And lucka being a super star and him being the last player back on defense is unacceptable plus him crying for every call is bs
His full stat line should be more heavily reported
Not sure what you mean saying the mavs have no options when it comes to winning game 2. How about not shoot like absolute ass for starters. That would go most of the way to winning.
The reason Tatum “settles” and JB doesn’t is because JT has 3 players ready to clog the paint at all times. JB doesn’t! Idk how ex nba players don’t see this! It’s very hard to drive it in when 6 arms are trying to block you! JB gets a lot of 1 vs 1z. Give that to Tatum and he avg 40! Do you guys watch Celtics games?
Can Russillo start talking UFC a little? Cmon Ry
😂😂😂😂 u know wat i find funny since disrespecting our home court kyrie is 0-11 man he shouldve never done that bet ya wish he wudve never stepped on lucky lmao😂😂😂
And he did it again. He said “I thought the Boston crowd would be louder..” 😂😂😂 now Boston will make sure it’s extra loud!! Like extra extra loud! He’s so dumb lol and Kidd trying to get in Tatums head 😂. Watch him drop 40 next game!
Millionaire taking a 16 year old’s French fries is a classless move. Unless he paid for the meal. Then it’s just weird.
I really wish Orsillo would actually watch the game. Forget the narratives, forget the stories, just watch like he claims to. You honestly don’t know what happened to the lobs, watch Tatum and Jrue on defense.
You think the Celtics picked on Luka less on the second half? Rewatch the second half and watch where Luka is defensively. Think about if you had a kid in high school doing what Luka was doing.
LeBron doesn’t care who the coach is. It’s just math. Pick a coach and draft my son. And I’m good. He knows they gonna win some games, get the playoffs and he gets to see his son on the bench.
Thing is when Hurley tries to coach his son.
Think about that?
rye rye... bring back svp and rr
After Celtics defense beat Pacers offense 4 times. I knew nobody can’t beat their defense. People think Pacers are some weak team and Haliburton being out means they can’t win. Pacers are better defensively without Hali! Their offense broke records this season and it is so fast paced! Everyone can shoot and you don’t know who to cover! Didn’t the pacers beat the mavs twice this season?! 😂
I checked.. pacers beat Mavs the last 3 out of 4! But Mavs thinks Pacers is some trash team who Celtics should’ve 30 pieced every game! 😂 it’s ridiculous how cocky mavs fans were before the game!
JT is playing 🏀 stop saying he’s struggling or had a bad gme yes the turnovers weren’t good but he did his job can’t expect much frm someone who’s being doubled most of the time
hw was strugling dude only fools dont seee it even if youre a tatum fan. superstars always see that double so? you just dont see it coz they won but it is so glaring especially when they are losing and the mistakes are that much costly... remember 2022 whoke series? casual
@@devmamba2492 😂🤣😂 the most casual thing to do is bring up the past, u clearly hvnt been watching this team all season. Theres more to the gme of ball thn just scoring lol he rebounds gets his team involved and he plays D. Tell me how many lobs did the mavs get in gme 1? Learn the gme before u come at me.
@@devmamba2492 🤣😂🤣 the most casual thing to do is bring up the past. U clearly hvnt watched this team all season and the gme of basketball isn’t just about scoring JT does everything else on the court reb, play mke and defend. Also this is a team sport and bos is the best team hve been ALL SEASON LONG!🍀🏀💪
Hardy has been a good playmaker these playoffs
For Hardy, there is a difference between playing with confidence, and going in like he is a main cog of this team. Dude shot 5 times in less than 3 minutes it seemed. Mavs need his shooting and playmaking, but he can't go in thinking he is star. The strength of the Mavs is that everyone knows and plays their role.
How are you not on ESPN anymore? That network sucks. They want more Skip Bayless rip offs and less real analysts.
Lmao man the Celtics made EASY work of that game 😂. It’s wasn’t even close and none of them had any issues guarding Luka outside of a hand full of possessions. Kyrie was shut down. Pathetic Dallas performance. Embarrassing.
Tatum had one of his best games as a player and most people probably won't even realize it. The amount of shots/open looks he creates for his teammates all night was insane. The patience and unselfish play from him is a key reason why the team shined on offense. All night long he gave the ball up for better shots/drives and never once demanded the ball simply so he could boost his numbers up with everyone else's. That's the definition of maturity, leadership, and above all winning basketball.
Saying this was one of Tatum’s best of his career is the perfect way to summarize he’s the most overrated player in the league
One of his best games? God you’re delusional. If this was Lebron, Steph, KD, we’d be killing them today for that performance. For a “Top 5 player” that was pathetic tonight. His team carried him like they always do.
@@ColinRobs💯
Lol.. He is a great garbage minutes player😂
Delete this
Don't pay other people's debts. Your kid hustles. Support that. The other kid is a thief with limited understanding of economics. Let the other kid and their family learn.
Kyrie got CLAMPED by holiday and white. Dude got capped like 10 times. Terrible game. Almost as bad as Tatum.
For how well the Celtics have played all postseason, Tatum has been extremely underwhelming. He always has the most shots on the team and the worst shooting percentage. What is he shooting, like 35% in playoffs? He was a black hole in the 4th when the game was already over, trying to rack up l garbage stats. Him and Hardy were going shot for shot for like 5 minutes straight till Tatum got pulled. Kristap/Brown/Jrue/White were all great on both ends of the court. Tatum needs to play smarter and stop going 1 on 1 iso every play and brick bad shots or turn it over.
tatum is going to have games like this all series, like he's had all postseason, and still, people will say he deserves fMVP (if they win) no matter what, just because he's supposedly the best player. i've already heard too much about his rebounding and guarding the center, as if it's really him leading the winning effort when he was a high turnover role player. right now, he is in 4th place: KP, Brown, Jrue, Tatum.
Just stop typing bro. You have no idea what you’re talking about! All those open shots don’t happen without Tatum sucking the defense in! You don’t know basketball!
@@cvgodd1432 No idea what I'm talking about? I am a Celtics fan, watched every game the last 3 seasons, and know Tatum's bad habits and typical play like the back of my hand. Game 1: 6/16, 3/7 from 3; Game 2: 6/22 (1/7 in the 4th, 0/3 at the rim), 1/7 from 3. A typical pair of Tatum postseason performances this year that were totally predictable for anyone who's watched him.
Like you say, his playmaking and attracting attention is good, but you can do that and not take a high volume of the worst shots you've ever seen (rather than the wide open catch-and-shoot 3s he got served and declined all 2nd half), plus being unable to finish at the basket. Luka is getting the attention of 2 all defense guards, plus a heavy dose of elite Brown defense and solid Tatum defense when it's not those 3. Meanwhile, Tatum is struggling in matchups against half-injured, gassed Luka, cast-off PJ Washington, and rookie Lively.
Tatum is a silver linings, rationalizations, shrink in the moment superstar. Tell me the last game he dominated and was the best player on the court besides game 3 against the Haliburton-less Pacers (and even then Nembhard was arguably better). You will have to go back to the regular season. He's been total dogshit all playoffs and if he didn't have the most loaded roster in the NBA, he would be literally Cade Cunningham. Tatum is Paul George with the luckiest career since Tim Duncan.
You have to be a tatum hater at this point russillo... Tatum played great in game 1.. Dude controlled our entire offense the entire game and continuously broke down and put the mavs defense in rotation which got us open shots all game.. Him not scoring a lot when the entire team is collapsing on him is just letting him get our guys wide open 3s.. Him also being able to defend centers and out rebound the mavs lets bostons entire defense work by keeping our centers on bad shooters so they can help defense and not be in the pick and roll which stops the mavs from getting any lobs... Wild how much you down play tatum.. Trying to say SGA and ANT and brunson are better than this dude..
Zip up them pants brodie
boston fans are so delusional; just be happy you have a great team
I mean his defense and rebounding were good, but he also didn't shoot well and had 6 turnovers. Not a good offensive game
@@chopin1975-tq3gxfalse it’s dal fans that are ignorant more so than any other people I’ve come across ever
What do you think the three guys you listed on the bottom are doing with this Celtics team? Celtics have the best TEAM and it’s evident. And when Tatum doesn’t have that around him he is not that great. And even with a great team around him he has been well below average as the supposed best player on the team. Considering his number one asset is scoring, if he’s shooting below 45 and 6 turnovers what is he really doing? All the things you praise him for is what he should do as supposed superstar. If any other best player of their team has that game opening game of finals you would be killing them. Stop sucking off Tatum
Tatum did all the important things like creating shots, rebounding, and screening… Tatum is an excellent ROLE PLAYER… most overrated “star” ever
Not even close....most playoff wins...playoff points than any player over the time he's been in the legue ...and by end of this series it will be most every other Stat in the playoffs.. if that's "over rated" than I want 5 more tatums. Lmao.
Lmao.
In the Cavs series, Tatum led his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.
In the Indiana series, he averaged 30,10 and 5.
And you conclude he’s a “role player”. Just admit you know nothing about basketball.
He's averaging 26, 10, and 6 in the playoffs. You're clueless.
Watch basketball. Come back in several years when you know a little bit about the sport.
JB was charging into Lively and having the call in his favor TWICE IN A ROW. Im sorry but thats not good play, thats abusive of the reffing. The timing of it was suspicious, and it felt likes the refs were in on it.
Refs had to favor Boston Boston is a big market team
Lively wasn't straight up on either one, easy call
