JJ’s reactions be having me 💀😂😂😂😂😂
Easy they say.
He a hater.
Lmao JJ moving like warriors have no chance of winning man it’s actually crazy
@@splash.3026 thats good for the ratings🤣🤣
@@splash.3026 oh we sure know who you’re going for
JJ’s having a great time lmao. Amazing pickup from ESPN.
SIGN JJ TO MAX 5 YEAR 400 MILLION ESPN CONTACT
JJ could run this whole show
He shutt come back and play for the heat that’s the team he ❤️
slow down there cowboy
Get off your knees lil bro
they need jaren jackson jr to join so they can have Jay, JJ and JJJ
🤣🤣🤣
Mr top gun is hilarious 😂😂
I wonder if they had to CUT.
That was soooooooo random, in a good way.......I would've cried until my tummy had new muscles.
GS’s defense is so underrated. All of these people talked about offense when it comes to Warriors.
Yea cause their offense is better. Same goes with the Celtics they always talk about their defense rather than their offense
exactly lmao GS and the Celtics finished the regular season tied at 1st for defensive rating at 106.9
I would respect the analysis more if they could argue for both sides so it shows non bias.
How is the #2 rated efense underrated?
Bro dont forget Celtics have faaar more size thats why no one talks about Warriors defense.
The kid at 30 seconds behind JJ reminds me of an old lady going to get her morning paper in her robe and is like "Is that? Who in the? Am I on?" 🤣
Looking like Harvey Specter, give this man his whiskey!
Kerr models at least one thing with the Dubs that he was part of with the Bulls in the 90s. That team dominated the 3rd on both sides. It crushed teams in the playoffs. Warriors are doing the same. And it's glorious to see.
JJ looked absolutely hornswoggled lmao
Absolutely flabbergasted
hornswoggled lol
That word man lol jajajajaja
He looks exasperated
imagine, if Curry is in Irving's place, nets would be in finals right now.
KD knows, what he's missing isn't having just another "superstar"
but someone who is just as much committed to his passion for basketball.
i like when Stephen A says "fOOOOrty!" D
JJ comment was killer, haha I'm rolling, it must be the shades, haven't seen JJ before bringing the heat like that!
When Stephen A. Called JJ Tom Cruise i died bruh 🤣😂💀
2:12
SAS you just described the 2015 GSW. Boston is going through a very similar GSW journey IIRC. If Boston wins, it'll be like 2015 GSW winning their first time with a historical journey.
Steve Kerr - first-year HC, no coaching experience prior.
Curry - 27, Klay - 25, Draymond - 25.
Ime Udoka - first-year HC, 10+ yrs assistant coaching experience.
Tatum - 24, Brown - 25, Smart - 28.
Only different is in 2015 the Cavs were injured.
Ummmm Tatum is only 19!
@@michaelbeasleysburner2208 what you are talking about he is 24 years old... Been in the league since 2017
@@pinbarbecue1100 r/whooooooooossshhhh
Stephen A makeup looking wild
Every prediction I watch praises Boston, talks about how great the Celtics defense is, talks about how they will be really tough to beat, and then picks Golden State to win. It doesn't make any sense.
Istg they’ve been giving predictions since game 6 Celtics vs Miami
The kid in the back 😂
Each game would be different. This is all about who shows up on a game to game basis. The guy I'm looking at is Tatum, is he going to show up? Idt he will show up enough.
Warriors in 6.
Defense wins games “BASTON” in 7
@@D-Shuffl3 stop acting like the warriors don't have a great defense it's just as good as Boston 🙏🙏
@@whatsyourpoint1facts942 warriors have just as good as individual defenders as Boston, the reason why they don’t have all those awards are because they were never all healthy in the regular season. Everyone bring up smart vs curry, what about Wiggins vs Tatum, Draymond is still the best defender in the series
@@scruffd0g193 but boston doesnt have any defensive holes, poole and curry are okay defenders but they can be exposed.
@@D-Shuffl3 mmm nah, defense hasn’t won a championship since the pistons in ‘04.
JJ is very good. I like him either on the show or running the show. I could live without JWill, but there are others that could have been worse. JJ is legit.
Defence is only effective when opponent players doing iso, warriors not doing much iso. I think warrior’s defence are more effective this time from greene, wiggins, klay, iguodala and gp2.
LOL how did that work?
That's not even remotely true lol. Team defense stops more than just iso.
fr tho, conference finals experience is different from the real thing! I bet warrior's experience will edge out the Celtics in these finals ☠
JJ showed up with a attitude today hahaha
JWill nailed it!
There’s a reason Ceasars is favoring GS. The teams who have the transcendent superstar player tend to win the Chip. The Curry disrespect is real. All the so called analysts praise Curry for his gravity elevating others around him and GS style of play is predicated on Steph’s gravity and movement. So if Steph scores under 25 they’ll say it’s Smart and the Celtics defense. But if Klay Wiggs Poole score 17+ along with Steph they’ll say Celtics don’t have enough. Go figure.
That’s not how gambling places work it’s based off the money coming in and out they don’t have a favorite they just move the line to win the most money
@@SlickRickMediawarriors are the favorite
JJ is no longer new media, he's Killin it
Lmfaoooo Mr top gun sent me🤣🤣
It just comes down to if the warriors can defend. Idc what about the Celtics defense because the warriors can actually shoot and if Miami had been able to shoot they would've won in 6 probably. That's not happening to the warriors so I have them in 6.
Warriors Defense are rank 2nd behind celtics and were first before all those injuries during the regular season.
Celtics are the best from 3 in pivotal games in the playoffs 😂😂😂😂😂
@@louisloother301 Didnt say they couldnt play defense. the dude asked if the warriors can defend
I don't believe Warriors' defense is a concern as long as they don't turn the ball over a million times. The Warriors are stacked with good players other than their big 3. The Celtics will have a tough time dealing with them all.
@@broo_expungebad Loston State Leltics!
Caught JJ in a contradiction - How are the 2016 Cavs better than these Celtics yet the Warriors were better than the Cavs that year and these Warriors are better than the 73 win Warriors
Hahahaha
u think this year warriors is better than the 73 win warriors?
As soon as the warriors lose one game you will sing a different tune
@@J.J.Redick Curry is better, stronger and more experienced, rise of Poole, addition of Wiggins, yes they’re a lot better
@@DagestanderGustaffusoni’m sure anyone with a brain would take that team that won 20 more games, mvp curry, pre injury klay who was way better defensively
a younger iggy, draymond when he could actually shoot
over this squad 22 squad ..
@@J.J.Redick They were out for revenge, a point to prove for all those doubters who said their title was a fluke, but by the time they got to the finals they were broken down and beat up, this team is fresh and rejuvenated with a mixture of vets and young talent and better wing defenders, more athletic with that championship experience, give me this warriors team any day, however I still got Boston in 6
Warriors in 6. Asking players to play 40 min both ways is too big an ask jaylen brown and tatum will come out hot but be too fatigued.
Watch steph curry play he only remains in his aerobic threshold and never exherts any more energy then he has to he never sprints or redlines his "engine"
Where do I buy a JJ Redick sportscaster jersey? :P
JJ outside is a different animal. the shades are to block out all the haters
Warriors in 5 or 7 depending on the Celtics team that show up to the finals but I'm putting money on Warriors in 5
if the Celtics don't turn the ball over alot and also don't slack off if the 4th quarter then this will be an interesting series. can't wait 😁
Dude said in 5🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jasonmoukala8909 in 6 so who's laughing now?😂
Whoever stays healthy wins the NBA Finals
The lil kid in the background tho😂
That kid in the back ground
Jj always cool 😎
The way JJ picks apart people’s words and uses it against them feels like he minored in law lol
The strength of the celtics is that they don't show any emotion even the opposing team is leading.
I predict great ratings
I don’t understand when people say smart will shut curry down. In todays nba it’s hard to shut a certain player down, it’s too much switching going on.
Celtics reached the final on the missed 3 from buttler. I don't think they can dominate or win 4 games against GSW. When they start pulling from 40, don't worry about any defence..
stupid take lmao golden state made the finals on missed shots too doesn’t mean they only made it because dallas couldn’t hit. it means they were just the better team
@@bobbyloveoblock6580 Celtics really weren’t better than Miami though. Butler missing that shot was the only difference
Dumb take. If Ja Morant was not injured the Warriors would be in Cancun now. Lol
@@dagenius4926 If you think the Celtics weren’t better than the Heat you didn’t watch the series. First 4 games Celtics won every quarter except 2 but that was enough for it to be a tied series. Dominated game 5 then lost 6 due to historic butler performance. And game 7 they won wire to wire and had multiple double digit leads, they just let off the gas running the clock out and the heat got close via some lucky shots.
The series was close because of Celtics’ mistakes, overall they were a much better team.
@@nothing8640 disagree. The series was essentially even. If Butler hits that shot, Boston is at home fishing right now. Really came down to one shot…tell me again how you don’t know basketball
Mr. Top gun..lmao
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a sweep
Duke on Duke crime! 🤣
Molly looking like a lil bag of lucky charms ooOOO
Celtics Defense is very good, but the Warriors Defense is not getting its due respect. All the talk is about the Warriors offense vs the C's defense, but its gonna be the Warriors defense that settles this series, watch! Before injuries this season, the Dubs were rated the #1 rated defense, and are now still the #2 rated defense behind Boston. Draymond is gonna be a beast in this series because their are no monster bigs that he has to match up against like Jocic or Steven Adams. He can play free safety where he thrives. The Warriors outrebounded every team in the playoffs they faced including the #1 rebounding team Memphis Grizzlies, 5 out of 6 games. The Celtics do not have the size of the Grizzlies. Draymond, Wiggins, Klay, and Looney all rebound the ball and play great defense. Don't discount that the Warriors are getting back defensive specialists Gary Payton 2, and Iguadala as well.
Duke on Duke love.
Lets go Celtics!!!
Everything Stephen as said that he’s rarely seen in young teams. That’s the same way the warriors won they first chip with a first time head coach
They were young but older than this Celtics team I think
Am I trippin or is it ship not chip
ChampionCHIP
@@pablopikastl7615 people use both but some people say chip as a contraction of ch[ampionsh]ip
@@pablopikastl7615 it's a chip
I'm a die hard Boston fan but Warriors look scary this year warriors in 5
I got the warriors because as good as the Celtics defense is, it’s good because they were playing one-on-one players. The Warriors move the ball. Celtics won’t see Olidipo trying to…post up?
Why do they believe Dubs are scared of defense 🤔🤦🏾♀️ anyways Dubs in 5!
Celtics in 6
JJ been missing since the Warriors won!!
stephen a smith airbrushed lol
Warriors in 5 that talk about Smart locking him up, Curry has heard it expect him to show up this series avg 25+💯
Lol In 5? Okay
@@edwardgutierrez8844 5 may very well be reaching I’ll say 6 “lol”
curry is already getting locked down warriors r gonna have to rely on wiggins and klay

Lol jwill 😭😭😭
JJ can be too focused on these stats ...Goldens States assist per left hand versus right is amazing, lol.
3:52 JJ is the ONLY one I trust. These other guys bring up bs. It’s a fair fight. No team is better than the other IMO
“Skip Ahead” Smith
Cav going all the way next year
Get owned JWill 😂 no contradictions allowed with JJ on set.
He was right tho.
If the GSW will be careless with the ball, Boston will punish them and will steal tonight's game.
In Sf nah....
Bay Area bro
Both teams have been inconsistent during the playoffs except the warriors had Dallas who had no chance of winning. It's a toss up
How is sweeping the nets inconsistent? lol
@@rileyfearon The Nets were so unorganized this year that they were meant to be swept
@@kevinmoton7326 I would agree but somewhat, the nets had the talent to win 1 maybe 2 just off talent but for Bost to execute the sweep when it’s other teams on the East that could’ve lost games or even the series all together the Celtics definitely deserve credit for that.
@@blackgohan1668 man gsw literally has 4 scoring options compared to Miami or anyone in the east 🙏🙏
@@blackgohan1668 1 game maybe
Jj's media career will be short-lived if the warriors win the title
This is absolutely amazing...... This is why I love the game.... Finally the teams that should be in the finals are in the finals.....This is going to be a "good-game ! Febuary - I picked Warriors as my number (1) and Boston as my number (2) To have the 2 in the finals is like a good home cooked meal ......YUMMY !!!!!!!
What does that even mean
" teams that should be in the finals , are finally in the finals"
I would think teams that make it to the finals are supposed to be there.
Warriors want this one for Steph
SAS got a filter or something going rn
It's really not hard... Are the Warriors better than Bucks or the Heat, both took Celtics to Game 7? To me they are significantly better than either of those 2, so i think it's the W's and it's not going to 7 games
That's my logic as well Idkw no one points it out
Warriors are absolutely not better than the Bucks.
@@DaOmega95 yes they are
Um no the warriors definitely aren’t significantly better at all. Quit wanking them. It’s also bout matchups too
@@judge5377 Um no the warriors definitely aren’t significantly better at all. Quit wanking them. It’s also bout matchups too
The Celtics won Game 1 in San Francisco last week. Game 2 is today. I think Celtics will win this year's NBA finals. Let's see what happens today in San Francisco. Peace.
Nope. Love to see it.

Celtics winning their 18th championship gonna break the tie with LAL. Celtics in 6. Gonna put GS out of its misery. Long time coming. Let's get it on its time to get down
I agree. Especially after the Celtics won Game 1 last week in San Francisco. Peace.
yep, no
@@novellprice132 where u now
@@ghostsimone8691 I am here. So happy that Boston Celtics didn't win. Why? Because I was expecting Miami Heat to be in the finals. Unfortunately, they fell short. In fact, I was expecting Miami Heat to win Game 7 in Miami against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference final. Peace.

Shaq even said players already checked out after they achieved whatever stats needed to get the bonus above their salary. Why do we continue to listen to these commentators when even they know.

Why's JJ confused? JWill is probably the dumbest analyst at espn
exactly 🤣
3:52, JJ your pick is WRONG💯And Steph will show you how CLUTCH he is as he wins his 4th World Championship. And he is a Top 10 all time player.
Celtics have strong defense and creates lot of match-up problem for warriors both defensively and offensively. Celtics will win.
