Kenny can't analyse any guard without mentioning the pace of the game lol. But he's right, jrue and rondo been all up in dames and cjs face as soon as they cross half court.
Shut up Because Kenny knows basketball unlike those other analyst on t.v. who only look like stats and most of you so called fans don't know basketball either you just look at stats.
Lillard and McCollum are GREAT scorers, but they are one dimensional players, meaning that they don't help a team win if they are not scoring. And when you are one of the worst defensive starting backcourt in the league, it's pretty hard to win in the playoffs when teams have multiple days to prepare for ONE opponent. I had the Pelicans winning in 6 because they have quite a bit of flaws too, but I guess Portland hasn't been able to expose it.
Ze you have to understand that a big reason why Davis is getting such good scoring opportunities is because Rondo knows exactly when and where to give him the ball. without Rondo running the show like an all-pro quarterback, Davis doesn't so many good looks in this series.
absolutely. no argument there. i'm not suggesting Rondo is the better player. i'm saying Rondo is helping Davis to become the great player he was meant to become.
i mean, did he really quit on them though? that's the only instance he's ever been accused of him quitting. and he was legit injured too so i really don't know.. but regardless, rondo has been very important for this team.
Rondo is the reason they're playing at such a great pace. That's why he's a great point guard, he keeps a team playing "their" speed, he's made a few teams really good in the playoffs. Chicago, Dallas etc...
As a Jazz fan, I had really hoped we'd be playing the Pelicans. We went 3-1 vs. them during the regular season and they are some of the most entertaining games ever, seeing AD vs. Gobert.
I like Portland's starting backcourt, but Charles is right. Them guys do hella rappin about how good they are...and look at whats being done to em in this series.
My prediction at the beginning of the season was that the pelicans would beat the Warriors in the first round (8th vs 1st). If Cousins were not injured, the Pelicans would have had a chance of going to the finals. They are a tough match up for teams that are heavily reliant on their back courts, which is basically most teams in the NBA.
Dude warriors beat Spurs the other night without a single 3 until a minute left in the first half. They will beat you any way you want to play the game.
aa888zz They are worse with cousins. Mirotic is actually a much better sidekick to Anthony Davis with the floor spacing he provides. All just my opinion of course.
I'm not gonna lie I thought I had these playoffs all mapped out but there has been more than a few suprises. But the unpredictability is very exciting and I'm enjoying it👌🏾💯
Bad matchup for the Blazers and Pelicans is actually a good team they are a dark horse in the West and early in the season, I knew that this team can make some noise in the playoffs and might have actually a chance of beating the warriors when DMC was healthy. Playoff game slows down and when you have a two-headed monster like AD and DMC with playoff Rondo's experience I think they have a chance. Right now with DMC out for the season and if Curry is not ready in the 2nd round they are gonna have some issue dealing with Pelicans.
Thank God for Kenny he's the only 1 that actually tries to speak in depth on strategy, philosophy & gameplans. Shaq & Chuck say the most obvious shit repeatedly!!
Danny pULLIAM The Warriors-Pelicans match-up favors the Pelicans. Back-up PG vs Rondo lmao Klay vs Jrue? Jrue's gonna kill Iguodala vs Hill will have Iguodala winning KD vs Mirotic? Mirotic still gonna drop buckets AD vs McGee? Don't make me laugh
The pelicans and warriors series going seven games with out curry pelicans gonna shock the world AD playing one of the best game sevens in NBA history like 55 15 5 blocks and 5 steals they can pull it off holiday can guard Thompson AD can guard Durant and mirotic can guard green rondo gonna be the X factor cause he can put his teammates in position to exploit any defense AD and Durant gonna be going at it all series gonna be a great 2nd round
This is why old folks keep telling these youngsters that modern nba superstars can't handle proper hardcore defense, they become complacent because nobody plays proper defense all season long, and suddenly there is a little pressure and they crumble. Then people are surprised why certain superstars aren't very highly regarded among older basketball heads, this is why. It happens to all the best guys in the game today. Given them real lock down defense and they struggle, because their games aren't built around dealing with that. And this is why basketball in 90s was the pinnacle of professional basketball.
Ppl out here saying Dame > Steph. I fuck with Dame but the same reasons of getting doubled constantly is what Steph goes through on a night in night out basis
Rav Freeworld Ent Nail on the head, that's the problem with that type of defense against GS, they try to lock in on Steph and KD and/or Klay will bury their asses, ask the Cavs last year...
You know how sometimes a player can score like 35 points and have you like 'damn! He scored 35 points??'... Well this Anthony Davis 47 pt performance felt like 50.
"Rondo's never gonna quit".... Rondo is probably my favorite player, but come on Shaq. That Mavericks year was a textbook example of a player quitting on his team.
One great series and they make you the king and one bad series they take your throne away.. 😂 A player of Dame’s caliber will bounce back. Its aight. People forget that Jordan was in the same situation when he lost to Pistons bad boys. All they remember are the 6 rings. Granted Dame is nowhere near Jordan but great players know how to bounce back.
Michael Machupa yeah but he locked the fuck down by bad boy pistons. Couldn’t score a point. He had to go to the gym and add muscle to compete with them. All great players learn from failures.
Trailblazers need to win one game for some self-respect...getting swept as the #3 seed is NOT a good look when they've talked about being the best backcourt in the league...
I mean this just comes down to Portland not having a 3rd option on offense, of course Lillard is gonna get doubled & tripled they know he's the main offensive threat, shut him down & force one of the role players to beat you.. they're getting exposed badly lol I've said this plenty of times Portland NEEDS a 3 to compliment CJ & Dame.. without that, they'll never be a serious contender ever, Portland overachieved this year, I don't think anyone even picked them to make the playoffs this year, if they did they definitely didn't expect them to be a 3 seed, Portlands really a 6 - 8 seed as always, it's just a few powerhouse teams like OKC & Minnesota just didn't perform up to par this year. but good season anyways Blazers you guys made it further than a lot of expected you to.
Holiday's playing like Isiah Thomas and Brow is playing like MJ. Sorry but you can't expect that to continue. If it does they've got a shot at making the finals.
Playoff Rondo he's earned that it ain't like that other fake Playoff guy 🤔🤔🤔great to see my guy back on track. N.O shock the world. AD and Jrue ballin. Anything's possible. (KG's Voice)
Remember last year Rondo nearly swept the Celtics with the Bulls if it were not for the injury he suffered...For once Shaq is right...Rondo is the real deal...Playoff Rondo...fuck that Playoff P...
Yeah, you're ragging on the Blazers for 9 straight post-season losses, but it would be nice if you'd just remind everyone that they lost 4 in a row to a Warriors team that went 16-1 in the playoffs, and a couple more in a row to a 73-win Warriors team. Hey, it happens.
If you're Portland, where tf do u go from here? The roster is good but not good enough to win at least one game in the playoffs, and you are in salary cap hell. smh
I still think dam dolla doesnt get the respect he deserves. AD has a more well rounded team than damian lillard. Lillard has cj. Thats. It. AD has jrue, RONDO, and mirotic. Pretty onesided. Also seeds are useless, remember what happened in the first round of march madness this year to Virginia....
![Megan Thee Stallion - Roc Steady (feat. Flo Milli) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HozPPyqW0dY/mqdefault.jpg)
Damian lillard went from Underrated to Overrated in a matter of 3 games
Qua Willis so true
Nba playoffs.
Never has there been a truer statement.
Holiday is underrated defensively
Damian Lillard scoring by defender this series:
vs. Jrue Holiday: 7 pts, 2-18 FG, 11 FG%
vs. everyone else: 28 pts, 11-23 FG, 48 FG%
Mr. G6 buy a league pass. I saw Holiday dominate last year, without any help
Pocket_Full_Of_Stones _ he's way way better this year than last especially since all star break
stop embarrasing Dame
Not A Vikings Fan jrue that..boogie is neede. Im a die hard warriors fam. If pels had bookie serious problem without steph
moving him as the 2nd ball handler has really benefited his game. He's a great combo guard
Kenny can't analyse any guard without mentioning the pace of the game lol. But he's right, jrue and rondo been all up in dames and cjs face as soon as they cross half court.
Shut up Kenny truly believes he would be the best pg today lol
Shut up Because Kenny knows basketball unlike those other analyst on t.v. who only look like stats and most of you so called fans don't know basketball either you just look at stats.
Shut up but that’s cause the Pelicans changed their pace of the game after boogie went down. It’s definitely what helped them get better
Lillard and McCollum are GREAT scorers, but they are one dimensional players, meaning that they don't help a team win if they are not scoring. And when you are one of the worst defensive starting backcourt in the league, it's pretty hard to win in the playoffs when teams have multiple days to prepare for ONE opponent. I had the Pelicans winning in 6 because they have quite a bit of flaws too, but I guess Portland hasn't been able to expose it.
lillard can play make. mccollum is one dimensional
Charles Cooks barely
not really.. he's a scorer mainly.
and that's why klay is so important to hide curry off in warriors defence. lmao
Charles Cooks they both can't play D. Both can't make plays and takes a wide abundance of shots so they're also ineffective. But sure lol.
Rondo is the real DEAL in this team!
No, Anthony Davis is the guy!
Ze you have to understand that a big reason why Davis is getting such good scoring opportunities is because Rondo knows exactly when and where to give him the ball. without Rondo running the show like an all-pro quarterback, Davis doesn't so many good looks in this series.
I love Rondo, but as a player, Davis is maybe the best or one of the 3 best players in this league today.
absolutely. no argument there. i'm not suggesting Rondo is the better player. i'm saying Rondo is helping Davis to become the great player he was meant to become.
Crez Facts!! He’s been there multiple times and he plays D!! They just might upset the champs
Anthony Davis is physically and statistically dominating the NBA. He needs to be in the MVP conversation.
Shaq salty about that sweep cuz Hakeem and the Rockets with Kenny knocking down 3s swept him and Penny in the Finals 😂😂
Beat Jordan in ecf tho
Because of Timberwolves and Pelicans injuries, Blazers got the 3rd seed, when they would have been 5th seed.
That's called the playoffs young fella. Lol
Because of Rondo's presence in pelicans, Pelicans made HISTORY
damian lillard will get to work on his next mixtape
kenny laughing at shaq.
95 rockets with kenny and hakeem killed shaq
rondo "never going to quit" - shaq
forgot about the mavericks...
its crazy how a team won a title and just fell off the map ever since smh
michael edwards they gave away the players that helped them win. Stupid decision
the Mavs thing don’t count :)
i mean, did he really quit on them though? that's the only instance he's ever been accused of him quitting. and he was legit injured too so i really don't know.. but regardless, rondo has been very important for this team.
Mavs fault. Them idiots had no idea how to use Rondo.
Rondo is the reason they're playing at such a great pace. That's why he's a great point guard, he keeps a team playing "their" speed, he's made a few teams really good in the playoffs. Chicago, Dallas etc...
RONDO RONDO RONDO
Portland is low key the Raptors of the west.
As a Jazz fan, I had really hoped we'd be playing the Pelicans. We went 3-1 vs. them during the regular season and they are some of the most entertaining games ever, seeing AD vs. Gobert.
I like Portland's starting backcourt, but Charles is right. Them guys do hella rappin about how good they are...and look at whats being done to em in this series.

If Cousins were not injured, the Pelicans would have had a chance of going to the finals. They are a tough match up for teams that are heavily reliant on their back courts, which is basically most teams in the NBA.
aa888zz Clearly u don't actually know anything about GS if ur saying they are like most NBA teams relying heavily on its backcourt. LOL
Dude warriors beat Spurs the other night without a single 3 until a minute left in the first half. They will beat you any way you want to play the game.
Buddy, the most important part of the Warriors is their center Zaza so that he can injure good players for a Warriors dub
aa888zz They are worse with cousins. Mirotic is actually a much better sidekick to Anthony Davis with the floor spacing he provides. All just my opinion of course.
ThSpeedyTurtle finally someone that knows basketball. Those idiots saying "if" we have Cousins we are much better don't know shit.
Dame is about to go on a Holiday 😂😂😂
NoobCakeHunterD
123 CANCUN !
New Orleans are just a better team
Chuck '' that's called the playoffs young fella'' LMAO True!!!
Kenny “the pace of the game” smith 😂
I'm not gonna lie I thought I had these playoffs all mapped out but there has been more than a few suprises. But the unpredictability is very exciting and I'm enjoying it👌🏾💯
1:27, look how shaq looks to chuck while saying " knows how to win a championship" 😂😂
Kenny dropping some sweet rhymes.
AD is a beast!! but with Rondo he's the Best! #ADMVP
I predicted this & my Twitter account proves it.
It was terribly obvious upon the Rondo acquisition...
“They’re just as good?”
They’re much, much better than every other team this year...
Playoff Rondo will be the leading scorer and drop 40
Bad matchup for the Blazers and Pelicans is actually a good team they are a dark horse in the West and early in the season, I knew that this team can make some noise in the playoffs and might have actually a chance of beating the warriors when DMC was healthy. Playoff game slows down and when you have a two-headed monster like AD and DMC with playoff Rondo's experience I think they have a chance. Right now with DMC out for the season and if Curry is not ready in the 2nd round they are gonna have some issue dealing with Pelicans.
Thank God for Kenny he's the only 1 that actually tries to speak in depth on strategy, philosophy & gameplans. Shaq & Chuck say the most obvious shit repeatedly!!
As much as I want the Pelicans to go far. We all know that the Warriors are about to turn them into barbeque chicken
You sleeeep 😴, this not the same team from when the Warriors swept us last time
Danny pULLIAM The Warriors-Pelicans match-up favors the Pelicans.
Back-up PG vs Rondo lmao
Klay vs Jrue? Jrue's gonna kill
Iguodala vs Hill will have Iguodala winning
KD vs Mirotic? Mirotic still gonna drop buckets
AD vs McGee? Don't make me laugh
Roy Denson Jr. Nah it's gonna be the same result Warriors are too Good. Just try stop Durant + Curry or Thompson or Both.
Alberto Reyes he will be re-evaluated in 1 more week and will likely miss game 1. He’s already doing non contact practices
Roy Denson Jr. and this not the same warriors what sent you how home in 2015, they better
1 2 3 Cancun!!
The pelicans and warriors series going seven games with out curry pelicans gonna shock the world AD playing one of the best game sevens in NBA history like 55 15 5 blocks and 5 steals they can pull it off holiday can guard Thompson AD can guard Durant and mirotic can guard green rondo gonna be the X factor cause he can put his teammates in position to exploit any defense AD and Durant gonna be going at it all series gonna be a great 2nd round
Michael fedna let's hope
Michael fedna kd... ain't going to get shut down...
open world I never said that I said AD can hold his own against KD when he needs to in thos clutch defensive situations
Michael fedna offense > defense.
upload more videos. damnnnn
Give Drew Lillards all star spot next year
This is why old folks keep telling these youngsters that modern nba superstars can't handle proper hardcore defense, they become complacent because nobody plays proper defense all season long, and suddenly there is a little pressure and they crumble. Then people are surprised why certain superstars aren't very highly regarded among older basketball heads, this is why. It happens to all the best guys in the game today. Given them real lock down defense and they struggle, because their games aren't built around dealing with that. And this is why basketball in 90s was the pinnacle of professional basketball.
Chuck is absolutely correct
Pels vs Pacers in the Finals!
Lets go!
Christian Rodriguez pacers will lose
Dex Kool oh sure.
0:29 Kenny acting like he was the star for the rockets😂😂
Apec Gaming he wasnt trash tbh he was the starting point guard ffs
Mirotić is a beast.
Just imagine if they had Cousins still, hope to see them do well next season.
Surgical I think they play better without Cousins actually
Where do i buy a pelicans jersey?
Honestly... coaching in this series is being completely overlooked.
Felt bad for the Blazer's but sometimes the difference is the Coach. Just like how Pop out coach everyone though he only had 1-2 NBA Superstar.
They talk more about you when you play bad then when you play good.
That's tuff.
I'm just glad to see Rondo stirred again after a long lull since he won the title with the Celtics.
Serious question:
You think Pelicans this form can destroy Warriors?
Ppl out here saying Dame > Steph. I fuck with Dame but the same reasons of getting doubled constantly is what Steph goes through on a night in night out basis
If curry is back.... lemme see they double team curry like that and leave Klay or KD open
Rav Freeworld Ent Nail on the head, that's the problem with that type of defense against GS, they try to lock in on Steph and KD and/or Klay will bury their asses, ask the Cavs last year...
Exactly. Warriors are going to shred them. Even without Curry, let's see them double team KD and leave Thompson open.
AD on KD. And I don't think they need to double Curry.
GoToWork751 that's why you're not an NBA coach
The Pelicans contained both Dame and CJ
Well, it’s a 3-6 series, but they were only a game part in the standings
The Golden State Warriors are too Good.. Kevin Durant + Klay Thompson + Draymond Green + Steph Curry = 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🏆
Damian Lillard is not overrated. He is going through something in my opinion . They might have to make some trades
while skip ignores them
You know how sometimes a player can score like 35 points and have you like 'damn! He scored 35 points??'... Well this Anthony Davis 47 pt performance felt like 50.
credit to coach Gentry..
If you told me that the Portland Trail Blazers were the 3rd seed even before the playoffs started.
I would have never believed you.
cousin going down opened the door...
"Rondo's never gonna quit".... Rondo is probably my favorite player, but come on Shaq. That Mavericks year was a textbook example of a player quitting on his team.
One great series and they make you the king and one bad series they take your throne away.. 😂 A player of Dame’s caliber will bounce back. Its aight.
People forget that Jordan was in the same situation when he lost to Pistons bad boys. All they remember are the 6 rings. Granted Dame is nowhere near Jordan but great players know how to bounce back.
Mohit Garg jordan never got locked down by the pistons though.
Michael Machupa yeah but he locked the fuck down by bad boy pistons. Couldn’t score a point. He had to go to the gym and add muscle to compete with them. All great players learn from failures.
I retract my statement. Dame’s dead. He looked shook.
check Dame's playoff stats, he been subpar all years since 2013 i guess..
Michael Machupa he didnt? You're stupid, Jordan said Joe dumars was the only player that ever truly gave him problems with his defense
damian lillard kyrptonite = passing
tontonpacute LOL
Trailblazers need to win one game for some self-respect...getting swept as the #3 seed is NOT a good look when they've talked about being the best backcourt in the league...
Is shaq on a yeti deal?
I mean this just comes down to Portland not having a 3rd option on offense, of course Lillard is gonna get doubled & tripled they know he's the main offensive threat, shut him down & force one of the role players to beat you.. they're getting exposed badly lol I've said this plenty of times Portland NEEDS a 3 to compliment CJ & Dame.. without that, they'll never be a serious contender ever, Portland overachieved this year, I don't think anyone even picked them to make the playoffs this year, if they did they definitely didn't expect them to be a 3 seed, Portlands really a 6 - 8 seed as always, it's just a few powerhouse teams like OKC & Minnesota just didn't perform up to par this year. but good season anyways Blazers you guys made it further than a lot of expected you to.
Jrue Holiday be lockin Dame up all these games. Dame ain't movin anywhere
Maybe dame will reconsider joining a super team
Can’t for the second round! Pelicans vs Spurs. Oh wait, nvm.
well its 10 now
Holiday's playing like Isiah Thomas and Brow is playing like MJ. Sorry but you can't expect that to continue. If it does they've got a shot at making the finals.
I was saying the same thing
And to think that they even miss Cousins..
Rondo's my dude.
Rondo is a goon!
So the Blazers are just Wizards West now huh?
Playoff Rondo he's earned that it ain't like that other fake Playoff guy 🤔🤔🤔great to see my guy back on track. N.O shock the world. AD and Jrue ballin. Anything's possible. (KG's Voice)
When it comes to champion games, who cares about making history.
Making champion title is all matter most.
If the rockets could do it so could the pelicans. Davis is similar to Olajuwon in greatness. I believe
I hope none of the spurs accidentally step on K D ankle 😈😈👿
i hope they jump rope on that snakes ankle
Y’all mad kd bout to win his 2nd ring
Hope Zaza breaks it
I Feel Like Yeezus
Like hell we're mad.
I Feel Like Yeezus the rockets say hi
Who knows bulls may have swept the celtics last year had rondo stayed healthy
Soooo we gone act like lebron still gone make it 2 the finals this year😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We will take lillard for Bledsoe
and they dont even need dcousin.
Portland Sailblazers.....sailing their ass Right out the playoffs.
Remember last year Rondo nearly swept the Celtics with the Bulls if it were not for the injury he suffered...For once Shaq is right...Rondo is the real deal...Playoff Rondo...fuck that Playoff P...
My soon to be ex wife cheated on me with a male stripper at her bachelorette party
Joseph Kelly damn
This is relevant and needed to be said...thanks for sharing brother.👏
Yeah, you're ragging on the Blazers for 9 straight post-season losses, but it would be nice if you'd just remind everyone that they lost 4 in a row to a Warriors team that went 16-1 in the playoffs, and a couple more in a row to a 73-win Warriors team. Hey, it happens.
Lillard is making excuses. He cried to get on the all Star team and had the never to say he's first team😂😂 Boy did he come crashing down to earth
Man it sucks they're gonna run into warriors I think pelicans can take one game at home but it's over in 5
doing this without demarcus cousins
If you're Portland, where tf do u go from here? The roster is good but not good enough to win at least one game in the playoffs, and you are in salary cap hell. smh
I still think dam dolla doesnt get the respect he deserves. AD has a more well rounded team than damian lillard. Lillard has cj. Thats. It. AD has jrue, RONDO, and mirotic. Pretty onesided. Also seeds are useless, remember what happened in the first round of march madness this year to Virginia....
1 2 3 cancun
How these men does hear shaq saying something..
LeBron to Pelicans
imagine if cousins was still playing yuck smh
trade Cousins to the Celtics, get some great role players, win win for both teams.
Funny how everyone was on rondo when he was with dallas, saying he quit and shit. Look where the mavs at now and look at where rondo at lmao
Trail Blazers are over rated
Lillard is going to write a song about how god doesn´t recognize his talent.
