thank you for the basketball lesson professor legler
Luka is injured and Thunder is employing a collapsing defense clogging the lanes whenever Kyrie touches the ball. It's up to Kidd and his staff to devise strategies to free up some lanes for Luka and Kyrie on offense.
OMG somones coaching them?? Seems unfair!
Tim legler is getting that bag, much deserved. Breaking the game down like no other.
Legler most legit reporter in mainstream media.
Legler is so good at this. Wish we had more shows on ESPN like this Podcast instead of First Take
he does ENOUGH! he just said it lol lol
why on ESP , youtube is just fine :) especially if you do not have ESPN over here.
Tim needs to get in the Mavs huddle. I agree with him as a Mavs fan. Luka has to step up.
I wish someone would have the nuts to tell Luka to stop paying the refs any attention!! Shits so off putting...
I’m starting to dislike watching him play. It’s not cool.
Well since Legler is a Mavs fan, that makes sense
Luka career about to last 10 years. hes already been playing since he was like 14, he’s not light on his feet either. sadly his body wont hold up.
Then getting hit almost every play by Dort doesn't help. Its like he's playing prison ball. If kY shows up they win the game.
Playing year-round basketball doesn't help either.
@@manuellares11 Ky was getting doubled the whole game and he made all the right decisions. Luka needs to show up
Telling an injured player to “just play better” is like a politician telling the poor to “just stop being poor”, it’s incredibly stupid and useless advice that ignores reality. Luka DOES need to stop botching about the refs however, he’s in his own head.
Legs talking about “limp like a pimp”.. then with the shades on 😅 ‘ I’ll be back ‘
Great show as always, thanks!
Legs was right about L & K production.
The underrated part about Tim is that he’s hilarious
Legler spitting straight facts! This man is the true 🐐
This what they said about Luka is exactly my problem with Jamal. Jamal just needs to show everyone how bad he feels, and it's so distracting for other players who have to babysit him, encourage him to shoot, to “hang in there” and so on. It's interesting how Adam is seeing that with Luka but not with Jamal.
You think I haven't been saying this about Jamal? I even used him as the example in that segment. But I promise you I have been 10x harder on Jamal about the exact same thing. And Murray showed up in games 3 and 4. He didn't heal, he overcame.
Yes, you said it today for the first time and because you are a smart guy, you knew that you can't be so vocal about Luka's “problems” and not mention the same obvious problem with Jamal. Don't get me wrong, i think you are a smart guy, and you know basketball more than i ever will. I guess that i just have to be better to differentiate DNVR Adam (big fan of the Denver Nuggets) and Adam basketball analyst on the other podcasts.
Jamal’s shown pride and was a killer in games 3 & 4. Luka has been absolutely horrible.
We played SGA solo with THJ! WTH was Kidd thinking?
Can someone please get Luka to watch this. Legs likes Luka! He's not hating on Luka. These are just wise words from someone who wants to see Luka succeed
Murray also got 3 days off thats why he was able to recover better. But I agree he needs to turn the corner off screens and look to score.
Agreed with a lot of the takes. Yeah Luka stop moaning and save your energy for playing. I mean that much shouting might actually sap your energy 1-2% and certainly saps your emotional energy. At elite level it’s enough. I don’t think sga overtakes Luka in mvp, well he might do but sga is older than Luka already so I don’t quite get that take? It’s not like sga is up and coming. Next season whoever does best will be mvp. Simple. Think next season presuming the mavs don’t spiral into self destruction, they should be good next season and maybe luka will be able save a bit more for the play offs. Okc and Minnesota will be better also obvs. Luka could do with losing a few kgs/pounds next season and see how he reacts to current events. How he reacts next season will define him more than how things are right now and that goes for everyone! He does need to just play and forget about fouls and all the extraneous stuff - main thing is win and all else is secondary.
“Ill be back”😂😂
Mavs fan here and Legs is exactly right. Probably the worst playoff game of Luka’s career. We needed Kyrie but he was mia too unfortunately
There was more than one play where luka left his team mates 4v5 on defense because he wanted to cry to the refs.
Ended up coming down to a 2 possession game. Shit like that is why luka teams always dissapoint
Honestly, this is the worst his playoff complaining has ever been. Every other year he has been carrying teams to any amount of playoff success. This year he finally had help and he’s injured playing through the new “let them play” nba. Completely agree it’s a detriment to the team but completely disagree this is the main reason for the lack of team success
@@Kenkoopa44 meanwhile Jalen Brunson is blossoming in new york
The red flags around luka are just too hard to ignore.
@@Kenkoopa44 lol. Can always scapegoat kyrie for lukas shortcomings
You cannot miss a free throw being one of best players in the league down the stretch..It's totally on Luka..Yes Kyrie could have been more assertive but I think he got caught up too much in making the right play always.. The right play may not be the best play always.
Luka is both physically impaired and psychologically distracted with the refs.
I'm a huge MAVS fan! I totally agree with your comments!
Paul Pierce and Legs best Copium for mavs fans past 18 hours....LETS GO!
Tim needs to be a coach in the NBA. Hopefully on the Mavs staff.
Interesting title after Mavericks had previously won two games in a row
Dallas had the lead for 80% of the game, and then just kind of collapsed.
Doesn't matter what matters is Who won 😂
Choked is the word you're looking for, lights were too bright
@@ctoaun23 that's a retarded take.
@@ctoaun23 🤣⚡️⚡️⚡️
Problem is when Luka does not have the ball, he is useless. He does not screen EVER!!! He can only affect the game dominating the ball so Kyrie is awkwardly playing along side him.
not true🤦♂️
U didn't watch game 3 huh?
Luka keeps hitting the deck because he is ALWAYS trying to draw a foul. He complains to the refs even while dribbling and hand checking Dort. You said nobody can guard Luka but Dort is proving in this series that he CAN. SGA is the best player on the floor in this series and it isn’t close.
You know ball 💯
I hate the ref shit from him so much he complained very much the entire game! Nobody can guard Luka when he’s healthy period. They still doubling and he’s limping around just like the clippers did so they tells you everything right there so respectfully his play ain’t really got shit to do with Dort🤷🏾♂️
@@ILLWill1027bet that limo wouldn’t be as bad if he was scoring 40 every game Js 🤷♂️
Maybe, but the best player isn’t the team moving on
Time for doncic to be a big boy and stop complaining, is pathetic, hit free throws my boy
I may have miscounted... Tell me if this is wrong: The regular season record for Thunder vs Mavericks is 5-1. I see no reason for all this Maverick optimism.
I'm not going to make a rash prediction about tonight. But it has been interesting watching the national media try to figure out the Thunder. Dallas is going to have to adjust their defense. They have made a out out of shutting down the Thunder at the rim.. When SGA started taking advantage of this and showed the league his outstanding midrange game it was not a surprise for those of us who have been paying attention to the Thunder.
You underestimate Luka's injuries as well. I don't think he has another gear to give. Add that to the defense that Lu Dort has consistently played all season long and Luka has very little left in his tank by the end of the game.
The Thunder held the Pelicans under 90 points (!) in two of the four games they swept. And the Pelicans only broke 100 once. Their defensive performance in this series with the Mavs is not a suprise.
Stop with the Luka excuses man… he is only injured when he misses a shot or when he has to play defense. SGA is the best player in this series.
Right.. either an efficient 34ppg scorer who's a known playoff riser just took a complete nosedive in production and efficiency in a span of 3 weeks... orrrr he's just hurt lol? But no argument on the last sentence, SGA is def the best player in this series
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT DONCIC BUT COULDNT PUT IT INTO WORDS...VERY GOOD POINTS
Preach about those Mavs Legs!
Mavs fan here
Luka is playing with a different mentality. We don’t know enough about which of his two injuries are hurting his lift. Otherwise he moves fine-ish. On defense he’s sublime and there’s no doubting that. His overall numbers were impressive but his scoring and timing were the main issue. Sure Kyrie also just happened to disappear at his exact “cookin time” and THATS why we lost. Losin by free throws? Sure.. but that game seemed like Mavs were up by 20 for most of it, the whole series is fuckin weird. NBA is scared of a 5 game series so here we go again.
I also thought he was going to go 1/2 last night when he stepped up for those FTs. His head wasn’t right all night
Refs fix the game 3 of the Denver nuggets.
this is true, it was obviously fixed from the jump
It hurts me to say it, but YES Luka looking like Embiid out there
Embiid dropped 50 in the playoffs. Luka hasnt even scored 30 once
If you mean injured also, I agree!
And Embiid, if he doesn't score, is still the Sixers best defender on the court !
@@jawekcollins6828 wrong comparison haha
The physicality and Lu Dort's D have taken away Luka's concentration on the game..he's a superstar so he should expect to be defended strictly he just need to stop complaining & whining about this and that calls...at the end of this series regardless of who wins will separate the men from the boys moving forward to the WCF.
Dort and he's injured is why he's not scoring
Anyone watch Luka with his Euro team? He plays nothing like he does here in the states.
Mavs played faster this year but Luka cannot unfortunately run the floor like he should because of the knee.
Different rules and officiating
Two teams playing elite defense. It’s not that hard everyone just wants to make excuses for Dallas.
I've been shouting this from the rafters since Game 2. Watching the actual games vs. stat sheets and highlights tells you two completely different stories, Games 2-4 have all been decided by razor thin margins despite the "vibe" being that Dallas has control.
3 years ago Jokic would get 3 offensive fouls on these screens alone. MVP getting MVP treatment. Hard to beat
Both teams are locking down on defense! In this last game, the main difference was free throws!
OKC couldn’t shoot either for most the night. Defenses are locked in. Very hard to run a fluent offense once teams know each other well.
They can run pistol actions and zoom actions for Luka and Kyrie instead of running iso against the collapsing battering defense
Mavs just shot horribly from the free throw line last night. That's the actual difference in this game. If they had shot 80%, they would have won going away. Kudos to Thunder for the gutsy win, but it was really, truly that one simple thing: free throws. Thunder shot 95% from the line, but had fewer field goals and way fewer 3's made than the Mavs, who shot 50% from the line.
Such a crying shame choking away a potential championship like that !!!😢
If Thunder shot 50% from three they would have won even harder. If and buts don't actually do anything. Mavs lost for a lot of reasons. The ball not lying was just part of it.
OKC hasn’t shot as good from 3 as they did all season either.
no. its a long sequence of events that lead to the outcome. not watching the box score and looking at free throw discrepancy. we can say the same about OKC 3s.
@@cmac9141 except the blowout win game one
Refs are the sixth player of the OKC team.
😂 mavs fans only make excuses. Yall lost okc won.

True story
@@jeffreycastillo8386 gg though just trash talk
@@Wanteyt .
At times ,it's like twilight zone.
Invisible hand giving fouls to the princess
Luka got 2 free throws with 10 seconds to go in a close game, because he lost balance and fell on his ass at the rim, just because he's a superstar in this league
Tim Legler somehow got a dark tan in one day.
I think it may come in a jar. Though I hate to say that about awesome Legler 😂
@@melodymaker135 Yes, agree on all points, especially that Legler is awesome. ☺
OKC fans talk a lot when they win but get real quiet when they lose. Grow up, and have class with both.
grown man finds out how the internet works
@@beatshavitruth! OKC and Mavs both played horrible also. OKC fans have nothing to be proud of. Can barely win a game against a weak team with a crippled star.
Bro, I talk shit every time THUNDER UP
@@j.p.7309 yea no. mavs blew a 20 pt lead and missed crucial free throws and then the fans blamed it on injuries. you can blame every loss on injuries if u want, hes still playing.
@j.p.7309 who won 😂😂😂. Your boy luka can't hit simple free throws. 2-2 baby
Luka Doncic sucks right now
My friend said Luka would get hurt for playoffs. Game 4 just a choke! however the fouls shooting is horrible! All OKC has to do is foul to win. Still we called 6or7 games for this rivalry.
Probably the biggest choke of the season if Dallas lose this series. They are clearly the better team, they may be banged up and injuries are against them, but they need to show why they're the more experienced team.
The pressure is definitely getting to the Thunder, they'd be stomping this Mavs team if they were playing loose and confident. As it is the Mavs are able to keep it close.
yu hilarious
Make the free throws simple easy
Legs too high on Mavs
Luka is his worst enemy. Considering the talent, the fact he’s been in the league for 6 years already, it is getting sad and pathetic he is unable or unwilling to mature.
Luka was letting Dort in his head in game 4 when he could have just focused on scoring. Not sure why Kyrie was so tentative in the 4th.
Agreed re Luka. He’s not a boy any more. Even hurt, he’s the best player on the court. Or has been; it’s SGA lately! Mavs should win this thing. Maybe they’ve grown so D minded that they don’t know how to score.
Luka FT’s? The arc for the rest of his shots regardless of length is higher than his FT arc….Having a defender in front of him forces the arc to be higher. On his FT I get the feeling that he is trying to see the ball and the target which means a lower arc and which lowers the percentage.
With all that, just do better than 50% at the free throw line.
Tim!!! Bro finally someone says it!! Please speak the Truth!!! Mavs didn’t get Kyrie to a Steve Nash!! Mac’s got Kyrie to be a scorer!! Tim is Elite bro, if Kyrie goes Kyrie they easily win!
I’ve been the biggest Luka fan over the years, but he’s been abysmal this postseason. His rebounding and play-making has still been elite, but his shooting has been embarrassingly bad. And this wouldn’t be a huge problem if it weren’t for the fact that he’s taking 20+ shots in these games. Lastly, the dude needs to get his head right. He is mentally too weak and he is way too valuable to mentally check out of games like he’s been doing. He’s looked lost out there and he’s low-key been the weak link on his team. He’s the only one not playing his role well at the moment
You underestimate his knee injury. He never struggled like this. Ever. Its clear to me something is wrong. Most likely his knee.
@@Yaya-ni3ie”most likely”😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Yaya-ni3ieembiid was balling what's lukas excuse. What's his excuse for missing clutch free throws 🤔
Okc in 6 book it
Luka needs to listen to ya'll...
Luka really hasn’t even been better than SGA the last two seasons two way player > great scorer
And for the “Luka’s hurt” fan boys SGA injured his quad at the end of the season
Mavs are in a WORLD of trouble
thats a stretch its 2-2😂
I hope luka is watching this what they say is all true luka needs to makeup his mind
Dallas is a sports city and the stars are committed to the fame as much as they are to winning. Romo, dak, Luka. Just not pure enough. Luka limping for the camera is a great example. It’s pathetic.
If Luka and Kyrie are so dominant why they the 5seed? They had to make a trade to be better than a .500 team and get in the playoffs.
Because people that claim this are actually know about them. You should educate yourself if you want to know. Or not. Simple.
@@matjazkranjc3511 you should educate yourself so you could actually write a coherent sentence that people could actually understand. 😂
Bloody Knees almost every game… and he keeps playing, because no one else is good enough 🩸 the injury will not heal… cant go much farther.
Thought that was just ketchup that squirted on his knee from that big Mac he be eatin.
Literally cannot think of a structural knee injury that causes blood to break the surface. Unless he's playing with a compound fracture. The blood means absolutely nothing in regards to his play.
@@725jenks Everyone knows that there's no ketchup on the big mac. Great, now I'm hungry.
Luka needs to spend less time on Horse shots and more time on free throws
I have the opposite feeling about Luka, something is missing.. I am not sure what it is in his character that I don't get that " I am going to impose my will on this game" type drive in him. I say that because he spent a stretch between the 3rd-4th quarter where he touched the ball exactly 0 times over the stretch of like 8 min of play..... How in your own house can you just be so passive?? Kyre was awful shooting last night, and then in a clutch moment when OKC is showing their lack of experience in the moment, you brick a free throw??? really?!?!? Luka is not built , thus far from what I've seen. hes not built to go over the hump. to me hes more James Harden than Larry Bird.. Bird would never be this passive and Luka simply cannot guard or play defense, he gets cooked EVERY SINGLE PLAY.. and he looked super hurt at the end of the game so yikes...
Can tell you don’t know much about the game!🤡
Bro you obviously didn’t watch the game last night…. First of all, Luka played great defense last night. Luka also has a history of being great in the playoffs, it’s obvious the injuries are affecting him.
You understand he is significantly hampered by a knee injury, right? He's a shell of hinself
So were you born after 2022? Because you clearly missed the 2020, 2021, & 2022 playoffs.
he's young, cant really channel is emotions yet, his fire and talent is sooo great its sometimes hard to control
All of the wolves fans seemed to have disappeared 🤣
Yall are weird. letting a fanbase live rent free in ur head lmao
@jawekcollins6828 😂
And nuggets fans acting like they closed out the series. All they did was tie it up.
The Common Sense Bandits strike again!
Yeah, Luka is just not playing well, plain and simple. Is it his knee and ankle? Probably, but here's the thread for this series so far: "Luka won't continue to have this kind of night". That was the talking point in Game 1. That was the talking point in Game 2. That was the talking point in Game 3. And now it's the defense for him after his _worst_ game in Game 4.
So...when, exactly, is he going to pop off? 'Cause it sure seems like everyone's putting a lot of faith into something that hasn't had any return. When PJ Washington has been your best player for the last 3 games, on a team with Irving and Doncic, it's not about "Oh they're just having an off night" _every game._ At some point you just have to accept that OKC has been locking them down the entire time in a series that has been all about the defensive output for both teams.

I wasn't sure when it was going to happen but I knew inevitably it would and that is JKIDDand his coaching. I have no earthly idea what he was thinking but I can tell you the mistakes were too numerous to list here. Yes Luka and Kyrie both laid eggs and yes the missed FTs alone cost them a win they'd earned for roughly 45 minutes. But that comeback by OKC against a Dallas defense that had been absolutely suffocating up until the last 8 minutes or so was precipitated by JKidds decision making ie; rotations, offensive game plan. Who he chose to have on the floor and who he chose to run the offense through was a critical factor in the late collapse. I laughed and couldn't believe they extended him before the series was over much less the playoffs. I knew it was just a matter of time before Kidd got in his own way and cost them a game or two or worse a series. I still, like Tim and many others, that the Mavs can and should still win this series but I'm doubtful it goes beyond that. I still can't stand JKidd as a coach and his insane affinity for THJ. Not having Maxi and his D hurts big time but the defense wasn't the problem. ONLY Luka and Kyrie can bring this team back up after that loss and it will have to be, as usual, in spite of JKidds coaching.
body language matters
Legs ain't really argue a good argument for why the Mavs will win the series. Personal confidence in a single player like Luka is not enough.
So watching that game last night u feel like OKC is way better or something? Mavs were in control basically the entire game. Kyrie and Luka being passive is the reason the game was close. Mavs will still win this series. They’ll win game 5 and game 6 to close out the series.
@@ILLWill1027after watching that game? YES. OKC played a terrible game and won. OKC won’t shoot that bad again. PJ Washington is carrying…if he has an off-game y’all are done. For some reason, Mavs fans have seen Luka play bad continuously and believe he’s gonna show up. He’s not gonna get healthy in a day so this is who he is rn plus the defense being played against him and kyrie forces the ball out their hands. vs OKC who in all honesty are just missing shots. Mavs supporting cast is playing great. OKC’s is not. from the games im watching there’s no margin of error for the mavs if they want to win..luka is who he is rn and Kyrie is being trapped vs OKC who can only shoot better.
@@leonardbrown9465maybe okc is not “just missing shots” but are also bothered by the defense 🤔 or that only apply to Luka
@ILLWill1027 My reply wasn't about who I felt is better. It was about Leglers insufficient argument about why the Mavs would win the series. Personal confidence in a player ain't gonna cut it. That's not a reason. But to your question....yes. I think OKC is better. I haven't seen them play like we did in game 1 in 3 games. You don't want that. The whole Thunder team will empty the clip on yall.....including Giddey.
@@dtxfern41 They are being bothered while also missing open shots. OKC is shooting 28% on open threes…that’s not bc of the mavs, they’re just missing. Now credit to the mavs…they are packing the paint and telling the thunder to beat them w 3s. But the Thunder are deadass just missing.
The question should also be, why can't the Mavs hit more than 50% of their free throws against the Thunder? The Thunder missed ONE free throw and the Mavs shot 53% from the line.
Please edit this comment lol
Cavs?
Just because they rhyme doesn’t excuse how you confuse mavs with cavs😂
Legler probably has 100 grand on mavs. Bro said no reason as to y he nelieves this
Why tf do he have to give a long drawn out reason when it’s 2-2. U act like Mavs down 0-3 or some shit lol Mavs best players played bad and OKC had to claw back to STEAL the game.
@@ILLWill1027yall still lost 😂. And will be in cancun making excuses. Luka and the mavs won't win a ring at least while Luka is there
dallas is fine, they are winning the important match ups. you know it when josh giddey is the game high +6. okc fans went off about the shooting in dallas' last win. now josh giddey +6 is definitely not reproducible.
OKC winning does not hinge on Josh Giddey. He got as many minutes as he did because he was producing. If he doesn't play well, they have 3 other dudes ready to take his place and produce.

@@jeffreycastillo8386 It's not though? I don't know what Game 3 you watched, but OKC was their own worst enemy in the end. It's a completely different situation to Dallas imploding during the end of Game 4 - OKC could have easily won 3 if just _two_ of their passes hadn't been absolutely terrible.
You can't say that about Dallas just completely collapsing on offense in 4. Saying Dallas could have won 4 if not for their _entire offense_ is the DEFINITION of "wishful thinking".
Mavs make free throws they win game
Thunder make threes, then win every game in the series. Just a game of ifs and buts
The sky is blue. you just said nothing. if okc hit threes. they win too
NBA stole the championship from Golden State warriors vs LeBron James team .
Legler just has to keep his Mavs pick!!! SMH. I still feel Luka is going to play faster, but yet he has not shown it. But he feels confident. LMAO
Luca was getting opportunity for teammates while shooting slump. Luca wants a team effort. He could drive and get a foul every time. Irving has to bring his a game. Also the pushing the feet underneath the shooter while doing a jump shot is a problem in the nba. Star players can get abused by defending role players and the shooters have to be careful not to sprane their ankles and knees.
Seven turnovers!
Tim hair WEIRD! why a BALD fade? his wife is slipping if she allowing 🤢🤮
His hair looks great. Especially for his age.
@@manz7860 to each her his own!
he's my age. And I'm talking about why is it completely bald on the side like that? It's one thing if you can't grow hair in that area obviously. But if that's not the case, a fade like Adams makes more sense. Maybe I don't know the current styles
Okc was one of the best defense in the league this year but it’s never about Okc. Is always about of Zion been hurt or now Luka suddenly can’t walk. The disrespect that Okc is receiving is crazy.
OKC was one of, if not the healthiest, teams all season, though. It's just a fact. SGA played 75, and Chet played all 82. That's pretty wild nowadays.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣.
Sports
Yup 👍,better get another team bro 💪😉
I love the Mavs. I can’t stand watching Luka lately. Wish he’d just put his head down and grind these games out. Stop whining like a b*^*^ every single damn play and act like you want to be out there. Like it or not, this contributes to losing and also a part of why people won’t vote for him as an MVP. Hurt or not, 2-20 or 15-20, grab your nuts and take over.
Jalen Brunson > Luka
@@manz7860 chill
@@appearnowappearlater NO CHILL
The thunder played horrible and won. Making this all about the mavs is funny.
The Mavs had EVERYTHING to do with how bad they played and also how they even had the chance late to steal the game.
@@larrybrown9883you mean all those missed open threes were caused by the mavs? Teams have bad games. Both had bad games yesterday and it wasn’t just what the other team did to them
I watched the game on TNT and I saw Tyrese help Shai up as soon as it happened. I remember because I pointed it out to my gf as soon as it happened. I didn’t hear the announcement. ADHD. lol. I was probably talking.
Legs just don't want to be wrong with his pick. "I have so much faith in Luka". but yet he has only 2 games over 50%
