Russ was absolutely trashed by 95% of the media. He is a top 25 talent of all time and still got kicked when he was down.. the media has zero respect for veterans of the game when they are towards the end of their careers. Thank God nba players like you are changing the media and the narratives!!
Higher than top 25 Russell westbrook needs to start and not come off the bench seen harden to the bench
@@corysimmons455nahh, spacing and scoring is miles better with harden starting, coming from a mavs fan
‘Top 25 “talent” of all time’😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Kilotango1 arguably the most explosive guard ever, mvp, multiple triple double SEASONS, one of two players with 20-20-20 (the only other being Wilt Chamberlain) if that isn’t talent idk what is
@@UpXetGroovy Any guard with basic handles, who shoots like a center and who relies disproportionately on athleticism/energy should not be celebrated for their ‘talent’. Whenever the tough gets going Westbrook’s glaring lack of talent becomes evident. Let’s not pretend - the regular season aside, Westbrook hasn’t been a threat since his Okc days.
So..... Terence Mann has been shooting 44% from 3pt line since the All Star Break. It's a math problem, if you let Terence shoot ten 3's, that is not a smart strategy giving Terence open 3's. That is how he beat the Utah Jazz in Game 6 in 2021 to send the Clippers to the WCF.
Agreed
Good point but T Mann is too hesitant to let shots fly.
He passes up a lot of opportunities and the team doesn't always get a good shot after he passes on an open look.
With the clock winding down The Clippers either get a clock violation, a turnover, or a rushed shot....
One thing he does that i do like and that he should do far more often is he attacks closeouts.......
If you are not going to take the three, at least drive to the basket hard....
Force the refs to make a call.
Also i think The Clippers play too slow for T Mann.
He needs to be in a faster paced system....he's a transition player.
@@sammyslam1okay clippers in 5
@@zthegreat_7169 ....a lot depends on game two.
Cleveland and New York have taken 2-0 leads in their series.
The Clippers need to do the same!
Home teams have been winning lately
Man you gotta love that current nba players & players who recently retired are covering the playoffs, not just some talkin heads 💯💯
That is good, but I also love talking heads. Regular everyday people making commentaries on the playoffs Games. We need input from everyone because I love ❤️ thr NBA Playoffs.
@@bigfan2452 yeah, that’s why I said not just some talking heads. It’s refreshing to hear actual players speak on what they see/know & not just journalists speaking on what they see/ assume.
@bigfan2452 you are one of those taking heads I see
Westbrook was getting in the mavericks players faces. He definitely helped rattle them
Yeah he had some super dirty plays. Draymond, the dirt king, would be proud
Yep. That 1 pt, 2 tech fouls really hit the spot in game 3. Dray was correct. He is the key to winning the series
Zubac is the key to this series they have no answer for him in the paint.
in my opinion, Zubac was the key for game one. Mavs need to do a whole better as a team, because Clippers destroyed them without Kawhi, on a regular night for Westbrook and Harden and a bad shooting night for PG and Powell. Clippers can be so much better. Same as Dallas, but they depend on two guys
The problem is the media has overhyped a mavericks team for beating 12 teams that were play-in or worse over their 20 game stretch
Did you say the "media overhyped them for beating 12 teams?" That's the stupidest shot I've heard. All the teams played teams with losing records down the stretch of the season. But you don't say the samething for them. They also beat a bunch of playoff teams. So that bullshit you said has to be the dumbest shit a person can say.
@@brandontaylor6157cool they beat a bunch of bums and were okay against good teams. They’ll be just like their football counterparts in Dallas and get bounced first round after the media is all over them
@@brandontaylor6157by the way in their 16-4 stretch they beat 2 playoff teams
Got eeeeem lol
You right
Drey the clippers are a sleeping giant. This team defends, offensively are diverse. If the Clippers play with urgency and defend like they can, they can get to the finals.. i think as talented as they are they cruised in some games this yr. Thanks for your season, BTW, not like us fans thought it would be, but its just part of your teams journey.. BTW no way the Mavs can get this series, Luka is great, but you know that defensive liability is a problem
James harden got past him every single time. Even when guys switched it wasn’t a problem. Clippers in 4
Woah fellas slow down it's only game 1.
Mavs are overrated!! Clippers will take care of business game 2!! Dray predictions and analytics are horrible!!
@@DonJoshpkosh11 This aged well
@@andreslancheros2863 This aged well too
Dude gave up a only 30% from the field on defense and an amazing 0%! from 3, nobody wants to talk defense anymore but that's literally game changing defense
Russ go guard Luka
Luka drops 40 on him
@@iarebaboon84actually when guarded by Russ he only made one shot so get your facts right Luka switches them off of him
@@iarebaboon84look up the stats when russ gaurds luka. Bro shoots 30% lol.
nahhh he’ll foul out
@@iarebaboon84I love Russ and am a Dallas fan but Luka don’t like how physical Russ get with him
Norman Powels been quiet as of recently. Ive heard noone even speak about him and if he catches fire and starts giving 20+ off the bench like he's capable of doing. Its gonna be a wrap. Dont even get me started if PG comes out hot. Tell me who on the MAVS can even stop the Clips if PG, Harden, ZU and Russ & Norm off the bench are all hot. They've shown during the season, they can put a string of convincing wins together. Even without Kawhi.
Jason Kidd should be the one to try and adjust if clips get hot from 3 but Kidd is bad with ingame adjustments
Why should the Mavs be favourites? I don‘t understand the media the last few weeks. Just because they beat some bad teams? The Clippers have a better bench, better coach and Kawhi is coming back. T. Mann will give Luka his work and limit him a little bit. Luka will still score 30-40p. The key is to stop the rest of the team. Clippers in 5 or 6
better ask rudy gobert about terrance mann boi boi
I honestly never thought Westbrook was that good on defense
Well he is
It depends on who he plays for. When the thunder had PG, he was actually a top 5 defensive pg, and when he was part of that microball rockets, he was an elite defender there as well
Yea he's definitely better when he plays with better defenders....
Also as the #1 option in OKC it was sort of difficult to be great on both ends because of the energy it requires....but he wasn't bad.
As the #2 when KD was there Russ was quite good on D
As the #2 with PG he was quite good.
As the #2 with Harden he was quite good.
As a #2 with Beal he was really bad.
As a #3 with The Lakers he was really bad.
As a reserve with The Clippers he has been really good again.
I think Russ actually has a pretty high DWS(defensive win shares) rating all time?
Really great player!
I mean when he played for ucla he was named PAC 10 Defensive Player of the Year
@@Indigo1800 ...yea he came into the nba with a defensive reputation.
No one knew he would turn into one of the greatest offensive players the game has ever seen.
The channel is growing brother!!!!
What happened to his old channel?
@@RT-qz5ciIt got suspended.
Yea let Terrence Mann shoot ten 3s we will win for sure lmao 😂😂😂😂
Who else immediately said yo why you doing a podcast drop it’s the playoffs but forgot warriors already in Cancun
Cancun is middle class destination. These guys go to higher end places.
Great insight
Dray can you explain why mavs are favored? Clippers have better roster even without kawhi and home court i dont see how mavs are favored
BEST player in the league
Clips in 5!!!
😅
Russ defensive was on point. He was ruffling feathers.
Mavs have to Stars on there team that never had 2 steal in a game.
What a piece of work...he blows the playoffs for the warriors and should be let go...
Transmitting directly from LeBron's locker-room
wb is nice with it and without it. he finds the game where ever he finds himsel on the court
Love from algeria ,my brother draymon( peace)
Everyone in the comments, YOU WERE ALL WRONG 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Westbrick dropped 1 point and 2 technical fouls
why say "the new DG show" why not say "the DG show"
Greens is a person really respect russ 😢
Draymond you a future coach
Terrance Mann was 3-3 from three. I don’t know if that plan will work
My buddy was all, they dont have the Klaw. I'm like, ok they only have The Beard,PG and Westbrook. Sounds rough.😂
Dray on a podcast works well
Clippers are the only team that might be able to stop the Nuggets. Clippers are coming out of this series
😅
@@yaboijj9543 bad take I know
Ugh draymond isn’t that what Utah tried with gobert n Mann n u seen how that turned out lmfaoo
Hate Greens pauses. Think somebodys calling men 7 time during the pod
These players try to act as if Kawhi Leonard is just a regular NBA star and not a superstar!!! Kawhi is a disruptor once he's on court
No one can stop Luka, Kyrie neither...
Fun fact playoffs is now boring without you Drey-drey.
Lol you can't play Terrence off the floor worst take ever 😂😂😂😂😂 and I thought you were a hooper that won't work
Who’s gonna get traded first, Klay Thompson or Draymond Green?
Pls make a trade for Murphy ll from pelicans he can shoot outside
Kahwi not getting a whistle for hanging on the rim... 2019-esque
With Ty getting 🥜-ed on by Mavs. They're absorbing the infamous Warriors/We Believe Team for energy... Clippers are learning from the best on how to, from All Star, be perfect role players... in a star centric strategy?
Russel Westbrook getting ejected for the first time during the playoffs on his 119th game...
Doesn't even ryhme. And it's 2024. Could have changed it to "defeat LA in this fiercest of sports competitions!" -Best Kyrie Impression
Republicans chanting "beat LA" and Barkley vehemently complaining about homeless people...
Just finally getting to at least voice your opinions about basketball and still keep your jobs much less talk about how the country spends your tax dollars to off women's and cheeldrens...
Tmann will make you pay for leaving him open
Lbj willing to get draymond suspended but can't get Jokic suspended for multiple games? Idk if that's basketball IQ...
Lbj isn't going to test jokics foot speed... but get Draymond suspended for playing too hard
Stay in Cancun.
clippers looked worse with kawhi in game 2
Draymond iq doesn’t get talked about enough 🔥🔥
What IQ, the IQ in which is applied when one should consider not being selfish and hurting his team by constantly getting suspended. 🤣
Draymond green just means he is a very emotional person, but his actions do not represent his intelligence. There are times when people act stupidly contrary to their own ideas. Green's achievements as a basketball player are amazing. I hope that he will show a mature figure who is respected and modeled after the rookies and other players until he retires.
@@unee85 play stupid games, win stupid prices. You notice smart and intelligent individuals have the capability to stop and consider the consequences of their potential actions?
Only stupid people play stupid games and therefore are worthy of their stupid rewards. Individuals who are intelligent don't cost his team an NBA finals (Please see the Warriors up on Cleveland 3-1).
Let's not even talk about this year, you can thank the intelligent guy Green for getting his team to the wonderful play-In.
Bruh please miss me with the Green is intelligent conversation...his actions contradict that.
NOPE sorry dray the key for the clippers winning is big Zubac
clippers in 4. they have a better defense team and 2x firing power. can't depend on Luka and ky onlyyy.
4 is a bit too harsh imo. Only been one game yet, even if the mavs play the same way they did last match, I can see it going to 5 cause they’ll at least win one of their home court games.
Lol
@@akshayar2467 realistically 6 games lol
@@LAFOOD-bn8gl u switched up quick 😭😭
How bout Mavs in 5? It’s still attainable
Man we all knew kawhi wasn’t playing game one that’s an excuse don’t do that draymond
yep, let him shoot :s
You just let me know You don’t have the Script
Knicks 2-0 and The clips bout to Sweep the Mavs
Pls get lebron to golden state
Russ played great. But mann was the key to slowing down luka not russ.
What happened to your daddy Lebron? @The Draymond Green Show?
U need a co host badly. Put someone in position to shine. I’m sure u have a college teammate/ best friend who talks sports.
Yo yall sleeping .for yall to act like mavs is trash because of one game is crazy …😂😂😂
Its because they got overhyped and exposed when the Clippers have experienced supporting casts so thats why they lost and they have 3 stars they are just better
they gonna eaten alive if Kawhi plays Game 2 or 3 because that man only has fluid issue on his knee so he has no real injury
The koba show
Russ is the key brick or turnover to give the Mavs the win.
😂😂😂😂
The only player in the history of the game to average more playoffs PPG than Luka is...MJ. Russ wont matter against this weapon. SAVAGE game 2
Rest Brook It's a cry baby cheater!😂
Oh boy this clippers fans think they won the series already 😂😂.
They acting tough when they up
Stop capping when yall Mavs stans said they yall favored even with Kawhi playing this is the Playoffs not the regular season yall inexperience Mavs bench got shookt lol
Actually the Mavs were acting tough before the series started. Suns had three stars but the couldn't even beat the Clippers but the Mavs with 2 stars can win ok buddy.
@@dxtremecaliber when the mavs win tonight and go home and win those 2 home games yall gonna be making excuses
@@luisvillarreal8826And when they lose tonight?
@@greedy8711 I guess you can come back and reply here. Let’s put $100 on it? Mans word
Russ can’t guard Luka. What is he talking about
luka and kyrie avoided him all game lol
All these Clippers fans think they won a series because of one game where the mavs just had a fluke quarter. This is going to be a 7game series if KAWHI comes of not, mavs still win in 6 even if mavs go 2-0. In playoff mostly the best team with best player wins. Mavs have that
Agree and I'm a clippers fan. It needs some miracle and bench power to beat Dallas. Luka doncic is that guy. I hope I'm wrong though, because I still hope kawhi back and if that happens I can see clippers have some good chance. If kawhi doesn't play I still put in my mind that every game is a MUST win game for the clippers. We can't feel easy with luka.
@@aldi9146 for real bro. Just hope either the same happens AGAIN a quarter where mavs look like varsity team or kawhi return. If kawhi return this series is EVEN if not, this won't be that much. Also other than luka & kyrie all mavs starters never played in a PO before where they got significant minutes. So first game might be nervous for them. I think they all will play better today
@aldi9146 ur not a fan stop lying
@@aldi9146lol even without Kawhi this Clipper team can beat this Mavs team them boys is playing against veteran heavy team
@@banimeclips10when the Mavs have freaking 33 FTAs to Clippers 13 stop making excuses dont let the Luka and Kyrie fool you them boys are bricking shots because of the good defense the Clippers have
And thats why the Mavs will lost this season they have no experiences in the playoffs besides Kyrie and Luca so the Clippers can beat the Mavs cuz they have the best bench in the NBA
them Mavs player are get eaten alive when Kawhi comes back in Game 2 or 3
Clippers in 5 or 6
Westbrick got lucky wont happen that again in game 2.
RW isn't the key to anything
Lol just say you were wrong damn. James is the Key Russ is just apart of a team. Russ just as important as Zubac maybe less. Zubac plays his best Clippers unbeatable. Doesn’t matter what Russ does
The Clippers were struggling after Russ got hurt. When he came back they started back winning
@@jarardx2312 yes he’s important just as much as Zubac. The whole team was also banged up also.
@@Sportsguy0258no they weren’t Harden was terrible after the all star break
@@greedy8711harden was injured and played through it because Kawhi was out…
Russ is the most important and it’s not his play it’s his presence!! The Clippers are a different team even when Russ is sitting - standing!! On the bench yelling firing up the team and crowd
We don’t have that normally… watch the bench when Russ was out and watch the bench when Russ got back
Your right about banged up
Zu calf, harden hand shoulder and foot
Hopefully Zu and Harden stay healthy as that pick n roll opens things up for the entire team
Nobody can't guard Luka.
Why should the Mavs be favourites? I don‘t understand the media the last few weeks. Just because they beat some bad teams? The Clippers have a better bench, better coach and Kawhi is coming back. T. Mann will give Luka his work and limit him a little bit. Luka will still score 30-40p. The key is to stop the rest of the team. Clippers in 5 or 6
