Let’s put it this way. In these playoffs, Dallas hasn’t faced a team as good as Boston and Boston hasn’t faced a team as good as Dallas. This series is a complete mystery until game 3 ends. Anyone who claims to know how this is going to go is delusional. There’s going to be plenty of people feeling pretty smug after guessing right but this is the first finals in a long time where either team could pull ahead quick. It’s going to be wild.

What is Perk on? Kyrie is more impactful on defensive end than JT in the playoffs? Kyrie is an offensive machine no question but... Getting in love with offense that he can no longer tell the difference between offense and defense.
Perk isn’t loyal to the Celtics and has become a typical ESPN bandwagon fan commentator of who ever wins. He looks to create false narratives and is envious of anyone who has success on the Celtics because in all reality he was a role player at best for the Celtics.
@@Bano04 then you aren't saying nothing new everybody now that Celtics won the whole easter conference easily because their opponent had some injury problem
Kai is much more than his game on the floor. The debate on who’s better between the four is really stupid debate as each team is built pretty well around their own stars. I’ve watched every game of the Mavs and been to three games in person. The one thing that sticks out is Kai’s spirit and how he lifts his teammates. You could see it from the stands in between timeouts, it’s an infectious energy he has that his teammates feed off of. It makes everyone play harder hence why the mavs were one of the best defensive teams coming in to the playoffs. Don’t let the Mavs steal game one or it’s a wrap. I could see Boston going up by 15-20 at halftime and the mavs coming back second half to make it a game. I have Mavs in 6.
All ima say is this Mavericks faced the Hardest path to the Finals they rank 1st in NBA History, they’re the first team since the Lakers in 2011 to beat three top seeds and have three of them have 50+ wins to the finals. They Won that year! Mavericks in 5!
Says who? Mavs aint no Kobe & Shaq, weak ass league. Were they down a star player? Did they play Denver? They played bum ass Clippers nobody buying into their success. OKC that teams a bunch of bums. How you go 1st in the west "which is way more harder" then choke 🤔 cause they young ain't ready yet. Wolves went to war, came home and fell apart. Tell me Kyrie was locking up Ant 😆 ANT got all that Jordan hype then fell apart - played terrible and Dallas capped on it. ANT out there like "give me the best player I'll defend him and score 40" that's immaturity and he lost that battle.
When people make an argument against the Celtics, they say regular season games don't matter in the playoffs. So, Mavericks facing a playoff team having 50+ wins doesn't necessarily mean it was a hard path. This run that the Mavericks are having is almost as good as the Celtics run in 2022. They swept the Nets with KD and Kyrie, went to 7 games against Giannis and the Bucks, went to 7 games against Playoff Jimmy and the Heat, and then faced a dynasty in the Warriors.
Celtics have the deeper team when it comes to depth and two way players. Mavs vs Timberwolves was Anthony Edwards vs Luka-Kyrie who don’t even play good defense; Celtics in 6 🍀☘️🔥🙌🏾
They Mavs are way deeper. I don’t know what you’re talking about lol. Celtics are done after 5-6 players. I know you don’t think Pritchard about to rock out lol
@@mrrobertfacehead absolutely because okc plays really fast and if they double Luka he’d never score. Luka is number 1 on offense. So Kyrie took the burden…..
Boston hasn’t played a superstar duo none this post season so they really are the underdogs in this finals they’ve had a smooth run to where they didn’t even need KP to o get to the finals frfr so Richard isn’t wrong when he says Luka and Kyrie are the best players out of the 5 superstars between the 2 teams
RJ hit the nail on the head when he said that Dallas has continued to evolve and get better throughout these playoffs largely through facing 3 tough opponents, whereas Boston has faced weaker, injury riddled opponents and not had nearly the same kind of challenge. I also wonder how the layoff will affect Boston, as well as how well Porzingis will fit back in. Early edge to Dallas in my opinion, but if Boston can rise to their best in time they may win it in 7. We'll find out if Tatum is a true superstar or not in this series.
Lively matches up with KP very well. Although Lively can’t shoot 3’s he also didn’t miss a single shot in the last series. I’m more excited about this finals matchup than I’ve been in a while. Mavs in 6
JT is the the second best player in this finals. JB is the third best player. Kyrie is in the conversation with Jrue and Derrick, not fucking Jayson Tatum man please cut the shit out
When someone picks one team over another in a playoff series isn't necessarily hate, It's just their opinion. I don't understand why someone would hate an entire team. Both teams should be respected for what they've been able to achieve so far this season.
for real like derrick jones jr and pj washinginton are going to stop him or even brown???? its sad the fact we had the best record but everyone discredits them
@ndnpride8806 Then who's guarding Brown? Then who's guarding Porzingis? Then who's guarding White? And then who's guarding Holiday, who we've seen can get 20+ if left free....? This is why Boston finished top seed in the league, beat Western teams 23-7 in the regular season and have lost only 2 times in the playoffs. If you shut down one of their scorers, someone else pops up and does the heavy lifting. Dallas are going to have to be playing at their very best in every match to win 4 times.
@@StuTheDon17 Bruh, I'm not a coach. I don't know. I just answered the initial question that was asked. Listen to a Jason Kidd press conference or something...
It's gonna be a great series!! Let's have some good clean basketball, with everyone staying healthy! Best against the best, and only one team can stand at the top! Props to both teams for getting to this point! Best wishes to all involved! Fans and players alike!
I agree with JJ, but he did say it's not about stats. Then, his rebuttal to Perk was asking how many assist Luka was averaging. Coming into this, I don't think it's close to which team is playing better. That's Dallas for sure, but like they said, KP will boost that offense.
One thing that is really alarming in this series is Luka on the defensive end. I recall a game in the regular season, Mavs vs. Pacers, where they pushed the pace and Luka was exhausted. But Boston will have to make them 3s to exploit Luka.
Mavs in 6. Celtics will win 2 games by 10+. Mavs will win 3 nip-and-tuck games, 4 points or less. Luka & Kyrie will take turns in closing out those games. Jrue can only guard one of them so the Celtics will end up picking their poison in those 3 down-the-wire games. JT and JB will crumble under pressure. Mavs will win 1 game by 10+ points.
I've seen comments on Mavs fan channels and they consistently diss KP to an EXTREME degree so I think there's more of a storyline in Porzingas coming up big against Dallas than ppl are realizing - a lot more even than the angle of Kyrie coming hard at Boston
Perk hating on the Celtics while there is literally a Celtics jersey hanging behind him haha. Brings up defense for Kyrie and Mavs backcourt, holiday and Derek white ate the best defensive backcourt in the league.
Can we stop disrespecting teams? Saying that Boston had an easy path is not reasonable. The Mavericks found both the Pacers and the Cavaliers to be worthy opponents this year. Now we should all understand and acknowledge that the Mavericks have evolved a great deal over this year. But they did go 0 for 4 against these two teams, and I don't think they would agree that either team is a cakewalk. That's disrespectful, and it's not based in reality.
All this praise to Mavs and the Mavs are a big underdog in this series. And The Celtics two superstars are two way players the mavs best players aren’t. And the Celtics beat the mavs their last 9 games in a row.
Usually Id agree with JJ, but they were guarding Kyrie just like they were guarding Luka. Both players were just getting the most out of those defensive coverages
This Mavs lineup is 27-6. Just beat a 57 win 1 seed, a 56 win 3 seed, and a 51 win 4 seed all on the road in less than 7 games.

@@sandokan876the team would do worse because he has the highest usage rate in the world and the Celtics don't run 35% of possessions through the same guy.
In playoffs 14 games Jayson Tatum averaging 26 points 10 rebounds and 5.9 assists. 44% from the field and 29% from 3 points, and 84% from freethrows. Jaylen Brown is averaging 25 pts, 6 rebs, and 3 assists. 54% from the field 36.7% from 3. Id say they are playing evenly in the playoffs.
Jj can stay on his own show he doesn’t even wanna have a conversation, he just wants to talk
Tatum is the third best player in this series?!? 30 10 and 6 and bro is the third best player after kyrie lmaoo the hate for tatum has to be studied bro, this is insane
Max...he is the best player...
Luka can be worn down in a 48 min game. It’s the best plan of attack.
He plays to slow to be worn down the way you are thinking. If he comes back with healthy knees the game plan should be different imo
@@calebhoffman6368 thoughts on Lukas defense?
Luka & Kyrie are going to get worn down defensively....
Kyrie didn't want to be second to LeBron James but he's okay with being second to Luka
No LeBron tried to get him traded and he found out
I want JJ to get that lakers job so bad! Passive aggressive JJ and Lebron would be amazing to watch dance around
This is it:
1. Doncic
2. Tatum
3. Brown

At least you have the cajones to admit it.
90% are closet Boston and Tatum haters and cherry pick stats to create a narrative.
The whole season Luka has been undermined and they wanted JT to be the man but he proved them wrong, not that he's bad he's top player in the league but not on the top. More complete player is Luka, he got everything but jump he make others better and JT don't.
Rj asking why Perk yelling when he was calm lol
Boggles the mind that Perk is actually paid to give sports opinions 😂
Its incredible, hes esentially giving only reality tv opinions which is basically what americas sports media is
Celtics is too versatile and balance for the Mavs to handle. Celtics will defeat Dallas in possibly 6 games. I don't see this series going 7 games.
That's what they said from Oklahoma and minnesotta😂

Boston are gonna target Kyrie and Luka on switches all series
there foes tried and failed
@@AdrianCuison Who tried? What's the stats?
I want that to happen and i think kyrie does too b/c he’s ready to show how defensive minded he’s become so let the games begin

Perk is Celtics hater!
without any doubt - he is. The more funny it will be to look at Perk after Celtics won the Banner #18
Remember when Perkins said break up Tatum and Brown
It's bad when everyone likes JJ's takes more on your own show. Perk just says the craziest crap to get noticed
What is Perk on? Kyrie is more impactful on defensive end than JT in the playoffs? Kyrie is an offensive machine no question but... Getting in love with offense that he can no longer tell the difference between offense and defense.
He’s on drugs I think. Dudes giving kyrie props for scoring 9 points then shits on Tatum for dropping 30😂
Boston had a cake walk to the Finals…
@@isaiahgazra1799 casual fan spotted
Kyrie being the second best player in this finals is the wildest take I’ve ever heard
Perk isn’t loyal to the Celtics and has become a typical ESPN bandwagon fan commentator of who ever wins. He looks to create false narratives and is envious of anyone who has success on the Celtics because in all reality he was a role player at best for the Celtics.

Kai is much more than his game on the floor. The debate on who’s better between the four is really stupid debate as each team is built pretty well around their own stars. I’ve watched every game of the Mavs and been to three games in person. The one thing that sticks out is Kai’s spirit and how he lifts his teammates. You could see it from the stands in between timeouts, it’s an infectious energy he has that his teammates feed off of. It makes everyone play harder hence why the mavs were one of the best defensive teams coming in to the playoffs. Don’t let the Mavs steal game one or it’s a wrap. I could see Boston going up by 15-20 at halftime and the mavs coming back second half to make it a game. I have Mavs in 6.
All ima say is this Mavericks faced the Hardest path to the Finals they rank 1st in NBA History, they’re the first team since the Lakers in 2011 to beat three top seeds and have three of them have 50+ wins to the finals.
They Won that year! Mavericks in 5!
Says who? Mavs aint no Kobe & Shaq, weak ass league. Were they down a star player? Did they play Denver? They played bum ass Clippers nobody buying into their success. OKC that teams a bunch of bums. How you go 1st in the west "which is way more harder" then choke 🤔 cause they young ain't ready yet.
Wolves went to war, came home and fell apart. Tell me Kyrie was locking up Ant 😆
ANT got all that Jordan hype then fell apart - played terrible and Dallas capped on it. ANT out there like "give me the best player I'll defend him and score 40" that's immaturity and he lost that battle.
@@ELV943 says facts buddy your emotions don’t care about facts. Good day babygirl
Since the 2010 Lakers, and 1st in history to what?
When people make an argument against the Celtics, they say regular season games don't matter in the playoffs. So, Mavericks facing a playoff team having 50+ wins doesn't necessarily mean it was a hard path. This run that the Mavericks are having is almost as good as the Celtics run in 2022. They swept the Nets with KD and Kyrie, went to 7 games against Giannis and the Bucks, went to 7 games against Playoff Jimmy and the Heat, and then faced a dynasty in the Warriors.
@@mangesh9034305 great point man, and they lost so what does the “harder” path prove in the grand scheme of things😂😂😂
JJ saying Kyrie only
Made jump shots ? Did he not watch he was playing good defense most the playoffs
Perk stop speaking for us in Boston!
JJ the only one with a brain lol
Celtics in 6, or less. Can't wait for JJ to Coach. He's going to shit the bed.
Celtics have the deeper team when it comes to depth and two way players. Mavs vs Timberwolves was Anthony Edwards vs Luka-Kyrie who don’t even play good defense; Celtics in 6 🍀☘️🔥🙌🏾
they have good first 5. bench is shut
They Mavs are way deeper. I don’t know what you’re talking about lol. Celtics are done after 5-6 players. I know you don’t think Pritchard about to rock out lol
the confused faces of everybody when perk talks hahah
Am I the only one skipping through every time Perk starts opening that mouth of his? Jfc.
So glad you all started doing lives and not videos from 2-3 days ago lol. Well done.
Kyrie had multiple games scoring 9 points and averaged 15 against The Thunder
He was playing defense and taking the attention off of Luka so he could cook. They needed that to win n it worked. Affected Kyrie’s stats tho
@@christobellwilson103
Him averaging 15 against Boston will result in Boston winning the championship.
@@StuTheDon17 Kyrie didn’t need to score to beat OKC, but he will need to score to beat the Celtics. Different round different game plan
@@christobellwilson103got it…so kyrie “ chose” not score. Makes sense in a game where scoring the most points is the main objective 😒
@@mrrobertfacehead absolutely because okc plays really fast and if they double Luka he’d never score. Luka is number 1 on offense. So Kyrie took the burden…..
Hating on the Cs! I love it!!!
Kyrie wishes he can guard Tatum or Brown
Neither of them can guard Kyrie either lol.
@@robmontano4472 lol
Boston hasn’t played a superstar duo none this post season so they really are the underdogs in this finals they’ve had a smooth run to where they didn’t even need KP to o get to the finals frfr so Richard isn’t wrong when he says Luka and Kyrie are the best players out of the 5 superstars between the 2 teams
RJ hit the nail on the head when he said that Dallas has continued to evolve and get better throughout these playoffs largely through facing 3 tough opponents, whereas Boston has faced weaker, injury riddled opponents and not had nearly the same kind of challenge. I also wonder how the layoff will affect Boston, as well as how well Porzingis will fit back in. Early edge to Dallas in my opinion, but if Boston can rise to their best in time they may win it in 7. We'll find out if Tatum is a true superstar or not in this series.
Lively matches up with KP very well. Although Lively can’t shoot 3’s he also didn’t miss a single shot in the last series. I’m more excited about this finals matchup than I’ve been in a while. Mavs in 6
JT is the the second best player in this finals. JB is the third best player. Kyrie is in the conversation with Jrue and Derrick, not fucking Jayson Tatum man please cut the shit out
When someone picks one team over another in a playoff series isn't necessarily hate, It's just their opinion. I don't understand why someone would hate an entire team. Both teams should be respected for what they've been able to achieve so far this season.
Who df was guarding JT?
PJ Washington or Derrick Jones
for real like derrick jones jr and pj washinginton are going to stop him or even brown???? its sad the fact we had the best record but everyone discredits them
@ndnpride8806
Then who's guarding Brown?
Then who's guarding Porzingis?
Then who's guarding White?
And then who's guarding Holiday, who we've seen can get 20+ if left free....?
This is why Boston finished top seed in the league, beat Western teams 23-7 in the regular season and have lost only 2 times in the playoffs.
If you shut down one of their scorers, someone else pops up and does the heavy lifting.
Dallas are going to have to be playing at their very best in every match to win 4 times.
@@StuTheDon17 comparing regular season to playoffs is crazy and who df did yall play in the playoffs 😂😂😂
@@StuTheDon17 Bruh, I'm not a coach. I don't know. I just answered the initial question that was asked. Listen to a Jason Kidd press conference or something...
1) Kidd was the coach when KP was traded
2) KP is the third option on the Celtics not the second so there is no comparison to his time in Dallas
Less Perk please

As a die hard Mavs fan, I look so forward to this finals. The two best teams are left, good luck and its gonna be the best finals in years!
Celtics haven’t played this current Mavs team after Kidd figured out rotation
It's gonna be a great series!! Let's have some good clean basketball, with everyone staying healthy! Best against the best, and only one team can stand at the top! Props to both teams for getting to this point! Best wishes to all involved! Fans and players alike!
I agree with JJ, but he did say it's not about stats. Then, his rebuttal to Perk was asking how many assist Luka was averaging. Coming into this, I don't think it's close to which team is playing better. That's Dallas for sure, but like they said, KP will boost that offense.
JJ is insightful and has an acute understanding of the game, but stop being condescending and subtly disparaging.
One thing that is really alarming in this series is Luka on the defensive end. I recall a game in the regular season, Mavs vs. Pacers, where they pushed the pace and Luka was exhausted.
But Boston will have to make them 3s to exploit Luka.
Mavs in 6. Celtics will win 2 games by 10+. Mavs will win 3 nip-and-tuck games, 4 points or less. Luka & Kyrie will take turns in closing out those games. Jrue can only guard one of them so the Celtics will end up picking their poison in those 3 down-the-wire games. JT and JB will crumble under pressure. Mavs will win 1 game by 10+ points.
Everyone has that same look on their face when Perk stops talking
Luka about to destroy Porzingis in the paint.
RJ is just hating on Tatum because it was Fireman Jayson who brought his tiny little dog back safe
I've seen comments on Mavs fan channels and they consistently diss KP to an EXTREME degree so I think there's more of a storyline in Porzingas coming up big against Dallas than ppl are realizing - a lot more even than the angle of Kyrie coming hard at Boston
Mavs in 5.
Don’t @ me, Inceltics.
Perk you don’t speak for Celtics fans. You’re actually public enemy number one in Boston.
I will never understand why Perk is allowed to speak about today's ball.
Just attack Luka and Kyrie the entire game offensively. Force them to play both ends the entire game.
After listening to JJ Redick...
I no longer want him to coach the Lakers
Perk hating on the Celtics while there is literally a Celtics jersey hanging behind him haha. Brings up defense for Kyrie and Mavs backcourt, holiday and Derek white ate the best defensive backcourt in the league.
Can we stop disrespecting teams? Saying that Boston had an easy path is not reasonable. The Mavericks found both the Pacers and the Cavaliers to be worthy opponents this year. Now we should all understand and acknowledge that the Mavericks have evolved a great deal over this year. But they did go 0 for 4 against these two teams, and I don't think they would agree that either team is a cakewalk. That's disrespectful, and it's not based in reality.
Ain’t nobody scared Perk. You stay hating on the Celtics. Ain’t no way boi😂
Perkins was so confident 😂. Omg
No one is talking about how much kristaps porzinges makes the C’s a complete different team, if he’s healthy Dallas doesn’t have a chance! Go C’s
How? Lively is 7’1 and long. And fast. lol porzingis has no post game. Clamps coming.
They must cover him at the line, which will create openings for Jason and Brown to effortlessly drive to the basket.
Love JJ, tell them boys...
All this praise to Mavs and the Mavs are a big underdog in this series. And The Celtics two superstars are two way players the mavs best players aren’t. And the Celtics beat the mavs their last 9 games in a row.
JJ reddik is on all podcasts
I want to see those narratives change when Boston turn the series in a total different game everybody expected. Boston was and is the better team.
JJ takes so many shots at First Take but benefited from it as well.
Usually Id agree with JJ, but they were guarding Kyrie just like they were guarding Luka. Both players were just getting the most out of those defensive coverages
JJ: I want to validate your opinion 😊. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
