Mavs can win but it’s gone take so much from the role players to step up and stay consistent. It’s either mavs in 7 or Boston in 6
We’ll be back
I got mavs in 6
If you think it's close like that, it would make more sense to say Celtics in 7 or Mavericks in 6.
15:05 The Celtics played the Mavs on March 1st and blew them out by 20. Doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll win the series but that statement is incorrect
Ask most people who aren’t Celtics fans about it and they’ll pretend this game never happened lol
DJJ and Gaff under 10 min, THJ getting minutes. Sure it's the best reference but it isn't a true representative. Also the C's shot the ball crazy well, something they haven't kept up in the playoffs
It's a one game sample so it doesn't really say much plus Gafford and Jones Jr played for 6 and 7 minutes respectively so they might as well have not played partnered with this only being 1 month after the trade. Plus there is the nerves of the finals, for example looking at 2022, Tatum only averaged 21 in the finals, and he has grown but can we expect him to show up and drop 32 like in that game? Dallas is full of young guys, how will they play? It's an incorrect statement but the existence of this game doesn't really tell us much.
@@cormacmacaongusayea green and lively started at that time
March 1st? The mavs were barely 2ish weeks old at that time ☠️. Going through a couple months of games and multiple difficult playoffs teams raises this thing called chemistry substantially
As a celtics fan I've noticed they always play late into the shotclock regardless of the situation. Up 20 or down 8, the earliest shot will be halfway through the shotclock unless JB is bringing up
Or Pritchard is bring it up
Out of everything in this finals, there’s only one thing I want to see. Tatum guarding Luka. Statistically in the regular season Tatum has been one of the most impactful individual defenders of luka in the league. I think he might be the exact build for a Luka stopper and if he can’t stop luka I don’t think anyone can
well I keep hearing everyone and their momma talk about this Jaden McDaniels guy
Ant man said "we have Jaden McDaniels"
and I think I heard he made an all defense team, so that means he's probably considered a top 3 defender in the league at his position
oh I kept hearing Luka is hurt, and some games could barely move
so if people can't stop hobbled barely can walk Luka then that doesn't sound good
the other thing is, people make fun of Luka and say he is slow (before he was injured)
Tatum would be the best matchup but do you really want tatum using all his energy on defense?
@@G.dot_ hypothetically, if Tatum used all his energy on defense, and could neutralize Luka, and theoretically Tatum and Luka are taken out of the game.
I would take that if I was Boston
I think Boston is more capable of creating offense with Tatum shut down than the Mavs are without Luka
it also means Boston only has to focus on Kyrie on defense as a creator
I think Boston have talented offensively capable players in
Jaylen Brown
Jrue
Derrick white
Porzingis
Horford
etc
They DID NOT give up a first round pick for Daniel gafford. They got him for a pick swap. HUGE difference. A 25-year-old stud for a pick swap. Massive steal. Have no idea why everyone gets this wrong.
since the Mavs have a better record than the Wizards doesn't that mean they got Gafford for free
@@justanobody0it was from the clippers via okc is the 26th pick this year for the wizards so mavs gave up the 26th pick for gafford
@@whatwentwrong113 but the original post says they didn't give a pick, just gave a pick swap.
So wouldn't the Wizards not want to execute a pick swap with anyone, because they had I think the 2nd worst record
which would make the pick swap worthless
I love watching ads for Kenny and Pierre ❤️ my nba outlets
I’m a pretty new listener but I love these takes and you can tell that he knows ball
😭😭Kenny funny asf not the when Rudy had 7 shot attempts that’s when we should’ve said let’s get ready for June 6th🤣🤣
KB the Luka Doncic of podcasting.
More like the Lebron
a couple people said Luka was a MVP candidate this year, that's a pretty good compliment
@@justanobody0a couple… disrespect is crazy he should’ve won it
@@justanobody0unless that’s sarcasm I can’t tell with a UA-cam comment
@@E4Mafiapowers I just didn't see people saying Luka should've won
I saw a million comments either say Shaq was wrong saying SGA over Jokic, and that Jokic 100% deserved it
and in the past media people always would say MVP needs to have like the best record
and this year, like Gilbert Arenas was saying regular season record is the most important so only SGA was a deserving candidate, because he said he was #1 seed in the West, and according to Gil only the West matters
so mainly people saying Jokic deserved it, or people saying SGA was #1 seed, so he should've gotten it
Kenny always chooses the betting odds favorite probably cause his sponsors, Mavs have been the underdog & that isn't changing
I just think he likes to play it safe. No spice from Kenny.
celtics was his pick to win it all in the beginning of the season he said multiple times he would stick wit it lil bro
or maybe the odds are based on whats most likely to happen? wouldnt it make more sense if kenny picked the mavs bc then more people would take that bet?
out of curiousity who was the favourite between the Nuggets and Wolves before the series started
We’re suns favorites?
Just remember there's no paint stopper for the celtics
Huh? Does KP not exist haha
@joshwinerman2863 kp will get drugged by luka and Kyrie worse than gobert stop the cope
KP was one of the best interior and pnr defenders in the league this season
If the Mavs bigs were scoring on Chet and Rudy they’re scoring on KP
@@joshwinerman2863 throwing KP into the finals isnt gonna be a perfect return bro
We back!
Remember, Luka and Kyrie did all of this to the NUMBER 1 DEFENSE
Only difference now is you’re going against the #1 defense and #16 offense to the #2 defense and #1 offense lol
what ab minnesotas offense ??
remember the defense wasnt the problem for the wolves it was the #16 OFFENSE that couldnt score
Funny weren’t the wolves supposed to LOCK UP LUKA AND KYRIE???? And the wolves offense was number 1 during the 4th quarter in the playoffs crazy
@@yourdad1805 and they getting matched up with the best defense they’ve seen in the offs, and Luka has proven the only way to stop him is for him to be unhealthy or for him to miss his shots. And he looks pretty healthy to me
11:04 it's so dissappointing how this is still somehow misreported
1. The Mavs have a bunch of tradable draft capital after this year conveys
2. They gave away a swap for Gafford, and to shed Holmes who they got a first to take on on draft night. By proxy, Gafford was free, if not better.
why did the Wizards give up Gafford for free
that was the best offer for him
the Thunder have a million draft picks, they had no interest in a center
Let me guess, you’re picking against the Mavs again
Only Mavs fans like the Mavs
@@mf3799cap
@@mf3799more neutral fans would like for the mavs to win rather than the celtics
Tbf, Kenny has stuck with the C’s as his Champ all season
@@mf3799huh? Its pretty clear every fanbase other than the Cs (maybe wolves now too) want mavs to win.
Daniel Gafford went crazy in his first game as a Mav. We knew right away that at least that one was a great trade, they needed another big
Shoutout to the play list
NUMBERS ON THE BOARD TUESDAYS 2PM ET ESPN2
Kb saying he was 7 years old in 2003, me here who's parents weren't even married then
Nobody care.
@@TheChickenShorts that's true 🤣
The thing about this series and what made the Wolves so easy for the Mavs is that they could hide Luka on defense with little to no issue. There is no hiding him against the Celtics. Can’t hide him on a center, they’re both great from 3 and too big. Can’t hide him against D White or Jrue. Definitely can’t put him on the J’s. I think we will see a similar story to the Pacers where the Celtics hunt Luka and Kyrie matchups with their wings and go to work. I think this series goes 6-7 and the Celtics take it. Especially with how good they’ve been on the road in addition to having home court advantage.
it seems you forgot what luka did to the clippers first round lol, granted they were injured but he defended great against their superstars and he has been doing great for his standard
They didn’t hide him, he actually played really good defense…
@@edwardrusu3188Luka was hurt too
@@edwardrusu3188 “for his standard”
@@SomeGoodBroth he was literally sitting still on defense for multiple games and the booth was even mentioning how he wasn’t playing any defense.
Im shocked kenny mentioned RDR2 man, great game indeed.
Celtics and Mavs played March 1st post deadline
People seem to forget about this. They played after the trade deadline, Celtics didn’t have KP and still won by 20
True, but March 1st is barely a month of PJ and Gafford playing with the Mavs. This is a more cohesive team from then
Think we did have KP this game
@@nhc7772 celtics fans like to tell themselves that means they win the series.
i remember watching that game and wishing it was the playoffs. the mavs wont lose a playoff series to nobody. yall beat a newly formed team in a bo1 congrats
im a simple man i see kenny post i click i see a luka post i click i see kenny post about luka i click faster
Forgot to mention the very rare GM to coach in pop
they did match up post trade deadline and the celtics won by 28
The Nuggets core is fine. They just need to pickup a competent 7 footer or two so Jokic can get some help against big teams like Minnesota (DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji should not be in the NBA next season)
As a Mavs fan, I need a game 1 to confirm my pick..
I think that contextually the Rudy shot attempts were not as bad as it seems on paper.
The Mavs had Luka on Rudy, clearly in an effort to get him some rest on defense. It seems to me that the TWolves gameplan was to attack Luka and wear him on the other side of the ball. When Rudy's 1st possession had him posting up Luka and hitting the And-1 on him the plan probably looked great to them, but when it stopped working nobody else picked up the slack to compensate.
The moment that plan failed on back-to-back possessions they should've called it off and said 'Conley & Ant make some plays' but they didn't. Initially tho, for a brief few minutes, it was a solid gameplan.
sounds like they wanted to get Luka into foul trouble guarding Gobert
@@justanobody0 Wasn't a terrible idea but there's no gameplan that will beat a nuclear Doncic dropping going like 7/8 in the 1st.
As a Nuggets fan, our core of Murray, MPJ, Gordon, and Jokic is great. I’d also like them to keep Watson, Braun, and Strawther. Everyone else can walk or be traded, preferably for a competent 7 footer or two to counter Minnesota’s size and allow Jokic to take a rest once in a while
No KCP? Sheeeshy
@@tomfooly He usually either misses shots all game, or has one big quarter. And he often fouls instead of actually playing D. I’d like him to be replaced with a taller wing that can actually defend big guards like Ant Man
dawg make these episodes longer
Luka is prove, you can basically replace the whole team and still reach the finals. Its all about that one superstar and perfect role players, oh and another superstar in the team helps..
why didn't the Mavs make the playoffs last year
before they traded for "another superstar" they had more wins than losses, then they lost like crazy
@@justanobody0they lost a lot of their depth realised they wouldn’t go far deliberately tanked to get a lottery pick
@@whatwentwrong113 I thought the league had anti tanking rules
also I've seen the league take teams picks away for "tampering" or something, I guess they make a phone call to a player the day before the free agency starts, and they can lose picks for that
but intentionally trying to lose doesn't cause you to lose picks?
One question I have is :could analysts and pundits of the nba do abetter job making predictions and properly rating teams? It’s so crazy how everyone had the Wolves as favorite to WIN THE LARRY O’BRIAN and they’re not even making it to the finals or even worse they got gentleman swept and were shot out of the gym in the last game.
I’m a huge Beecham and NOTB fan but Kenny saying a 5 point lead for the Mavs and he doesn’t think the Celtics can come back from that with 4 minutes left is one of the worst things he has said and I agree with like 97% of everything he says, but that take is disrespectful to a 64 win team
the Pacers were up 18 in the 3rd, and the Pacers lost to the Celtics
I think the same game the Pacers were up 8 with like 2 minutes to go, and they lost
it just takes a couple 3s and a couple stops, and it's a close game
I don't think 5 points in 4 minutes is impossible to overcome for any team in the league
5 point deficit 12 years ago with that much time left seemed like it took forever to comeback from sometimes. But now a 5 point deficit could take like 45 seconds to erase
@@justanobody0the pacers 😂
@@Siooc hey 3 of the 4 games the Pacers played against the Celtics were close
game 1: overtime (had haliburton)
game 3: no haliburton - within 3 points, with attempt to tie the game at end of regulation
game 4: no haliburton - within 3 points
in a world where luka does request a trade what does that trade package even look like? 7 first rounders + a promising young player?
Trae Young + Clint Capella
for Luka and Daniel Gafford
@@justanobody0you better add those 7 first rounders in there. No way dallas takes that even if luka requests a trade
@@simonkim8646 ok, Jokic + Jamal Murray + Aaron Gordon + a million first round picks
for Luka + Davis Bertans + Javale McGee
I hope Boston come out has the NBA champions, l think it will go to game 7
Bro has so many channels i cant keep up with the contents
Thunder Up!
Every contender is extremely expensive. This is the deepest team in franchise history, it would be dumb to break them up. I don't know why people are even seriously discussing trade ideas. Paying the 2nd apron for 1-2 years is not the end of the world and after 2 years, Rudy's contract ends and can be restructured to get back below the 2nd apron.
They have to pay the luxury tax, this was one of the last 3 teams with a shot at the title! All great teams require great cost.
theyy beeat the defending champs too, I think that's a big deal
“Nothing really matters.” -Kenny Beecham, 2024
No one talks about Kyrie being a free agent, and Mavs initially trading for a half-a season of him. Luckily he liked Dallas and he resigned.
Ant wasn’t even bad this series. He just wasn’t as good as he was in the other series
#AskKB give short king style tips. shopping recs
Landry fields is a gm
they did play once past trade deadline n celtics won by 20
So Luka Vs historic starting 5? Loo
15:00 me when i lie
Kenny they played after the deadline so you should be able to find the game. I can tell you that the Celtics dominated
I'm sure some people could argue that it takes time for chemistry to build, for players to get used to other players patterns
I've seen people argue before that half a season isn't enough time for a team to click together when a team doesn't do well after making a trade
Lets go Mavs baby
Kenny needs to be ashamed in himself for being a Rudy gobert fan 😂
Draymond snuck away from inside the nba studios to post this
Wasn’t Magic a GM
Best commentator in the game. I never miss an episode
It truly amazes me how overconfident Celtics fans are for a team that danced with sugarplum fairies to get to the finals - no challenge at all 😂 and now they think they’ll be ready for the Mavs… somehow magically because everyone is building them up 😂
Kenny the best in the game
I’m so ready to watch the Mavs cook the Celtics and prove why Mavs are best the best team in the league
youre going to be sorely disappointed by reality
@@LowBrowProgramming nuh uh
@@LowBrowProgramming just watch
Kenny they litterally played in March, the greatest trade of all time supposedly - PJ washington had 17!!!! And the mavs lost by 20……
CELTICS IN 5
You do realize that thj started , gafford only played like 6 minutes, Josh green started… it was Jason Kidd experimenting with lineups , no indication of how a game will go when lively won’t be starting
@@breathyy5963 thj didnt start but nice try
@@Hoopsenjoyer1986 oh wow so sorry, ignore everything else about how the lineups were significantly different and kidd was still experimenting with the big man rotations
JT the best player in the series
Kenny you don’t watch the kings. Mike brown had games where he lost to the pistons, wizards, blew a lead to the bulls…. As a kings fan which I know you are not, since you are a hater, Mike brown deserves blame.
you must not be familiar with kb if you think he's a kings hater lmao
woahhh KB u saying Jaylen Brown is the third best player inna series and not Ky??????
Tbf he did just win ECF MVP but imo ky is still the better player
I mean I think it's pretty close and not by a wide margin, so.
The Mavs are going to get out classed by Boston
yeah nothing really matter we all gonna die someday 💯
starts off his finals preview, one of the bigger episodes, with just a lie lmao Celtics/Mavs March 1, 138-110, Mavs had PJ, Gafford, etc.
Boston in 6
I’m howny
I love being a Celtics fans. Superteam that people think is overrated but should also obviously win it all, yet people pick the mavs to win
It’s not people picking mavs to win, most people favor Celtics and the odds show that, it’s just that people want mavs to win
@@aryapalla2491 nah I get that bit people also think the mavs will win. Its fine not liking the Celtics lol thats a given

how many logo shots did Jordan take in 1996
I heard Luka made 3 in like the first quarter, and had 20 points in the first quarter

Kenny u need to be ashamed of urself for being a Rudy Gobert fan 😂
He said cherish basketball like there isn't WNBA and Olympic basketball all summer.
last year Jokic didn't play in FIBA
let's say there was tournament today, and Luka said my knee hurts, I will not play in tournament, wouldn't it be a bit of a buzzkill
also, Embiid joined team USA
how many teams can make entire teams out of only NBA players
like team USA can have at center
Embiid, Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo, Daneial Gafford, Dwight Howard, Andre Drummond, etc
how many teams have a center like Embiid (last year's MVP)
Anthony Davis played 77 games this year, and people were saying he should've been DPOY
Bam Adebayo was a DPOY top 3 finalist
