Tim Legler is the best analyst in basketball!
That’s because he actually played the game at this level, unlike Stephen 1.5points a game Smith
@@LeoorLeonard Exactly! 💯
His breath do be stank tho
@@rrogers2370 lmao I’m 😂💀
Perk good too
What were seeing is not just a changing of the guard it’s also an end to the manufactured big-3 era. how many of these so-called super teams have been slapped and patched together only to fail in spectacular, colossal & epic fashion
It's not the end of anything. Player empowerment is here to stay as it should be. I can't believe there are still clowns out there who side with employers over employees; the billionaire owners backstage over the players on the floor.
The fact is once in a while a generational team will emerge that plays immaculate team basketball. For as long as I've been watching basketball it's been the Hakeem Olajuwon Rockets, the Tim Duncan Spurs, the Steph Curry Warriors and now the Nikola Jokić Nuggets.
Amen
@@noktin facts
@@noktin your powers of comprehension are weak so I’ll explain it a little better when I used the term manufactured I was referencing to teams like the Nets the current suns not to mention the Clippers who have accomplished nothing with their big three which is now a big four of players passed their primes the teams you referred to the spurs the Nuggets the Rockets and the Warriors were all built through wise draft choices and wise expenditures for role players in free agency
@@jamesrippy1161 I know what you're saying and my point still stands.
Let me repeat myself. Players should have the power to control their own destinies and join whoever they want if organizations are able to make it work financially.
And again, every once in a while an organization will sign a group of players who, under the right coach's guidance, will play immaculate team basketball regardless of how many stars they have.
The young guys in the NBA are taking over. Fantastic
They should LeBron is 39 KD is up there and that Achilles injury
Well, we know the answer to that commercial then. Still, think Denver (mostly vets) wins it. But the young guns are on the rise. Clear changing of banner with most veteran teams bowing out.
@@JustinChristopher-ov7gw I would call Denver team “Prime”. There’s younger players, prime players, and veteran (past prime) players.
As a wolves fan we are just enjoying this ride. It’s been too long
Way too long and too good to be true. Been a fan for over 20 years! We deserve this!
Was the KG era the only time they were good?
Every single person on the internet is suddenly a long lost OG TW fan. Support your local team.
@@Blazintidus23basically bro only that and now.. and that one time Jimmy came.
Ayo
Minnesota vs Denver gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
Jokic is gonna expose Rudy and Karl Anthony Lown in that series. Minny is done. Better luck next time.
@@iwishiwasthomasshelbynah it's gonna be a great series you better stop underestimating the wolves
@@ladariusparker7248I hope wolves win
I know they can't do it but that matchup is nba finals worthy and it's gonna be 2nd round.
Who would have thought that Zubac will be best offensive performer on Clippers. Man Dallas plays really good defense, im rooting for them boys
KD will Join Minnesota next season 😂
Everybody doubting twolves even these guys maybe u will wake up when twolves are in the finals no joke nuggets are trouble believe that
And they will lose
@@kanesympson5515😂 nuggets clappin ants cheeks. Again
@MARS-qm9qt nuggets can't beat us at full strength. They never beat us at full strength. Keep thinking last year and this year is the same😂 last year we had 2 key injuries and we still gave yall your toughest series of the playoffs and that's not me saying that it's the nuggets players that said it. Wolves in 4
@@corporateBiz you won A Game lmao. You are all gassed up and nowhere to go 😭 you’ve literally never done anything. Yet you want to act like you have. Rude awakening for the wolves incoming
Lifelong Wolves fan of 35 years. I’ve been thru all the dark days of being the laughingstock of the league. I don’t think I’ve been happier as a fan than last night. 3-0 is uncharted territory it feels so surreal. I want the ride to keep going. Been waiting 2 decades for this!🎉
Been a fan my whole life, and you summed up my thoughts exactly. Love every minute 🐺♥️
Do you think you guys have a chance against the Nuggets?
@@Feedmaster420 yes. They went 2-2 this regular season, and from my memory, one of those losses were no KAT. It's going be at least close. I could see either team winning in 6
As a laker fan I’m cheering for u guys. Nobody deserves it more than y’all. Go wolves ! Avenge us !!
Appreciate you, bro. Life wolves fan as well, it is so refreshing to see real basketball.
The beal trade was a mistake
20/20 hindsight
@@perotalnot really. Beal is not really an elite top tier player. And to not have a basic point guard and center for him is tough. Surprised the media and everyone hyped this.
Facts the team is shallow, Beal is just a scorer which Suns didn’t need. And he hasn’t been impactful
Too late
definitely was lol i saw it coming
Kawhi’s playoff history with the Clippers…
2020: Choke
2021: Injured
2022: Injured
2023: Injured
2024: Injured
He shouldve joined Lakers
Holy he should have joined the Lakers
Glass Man gets paid
Should’ve stayed in Toronto
Idk about the choke but yeah I agree with everything else
"Denver said we're still here" 😂
Nuggets will win in 7 vs Minnesota
@@famouslee6154why 7
For once it seems like James Harden isn't just choking his other stars are 😂😂😂
Embied was hurt last year harden won 3 games for the 76ers game embied didn’t even win one without harden dropping 25+ , cp3 was hurt in 2017 , 2019 westbrook was hurt playing the lakers , Kawhi knee is swelling again after game 2 and is on minutes restriction team are hurt and Paul George is playing even worrst then he did in the bubble feel bad for harden mane
Harden has been a fall guy for a while. even in Houston
It was never harden to begin with. He was a second option leading his team like the first option. His partner in crime never shows up since the Philadelphia days.
Kyrie won that game for the Mavs. They needed his heroics in the 2nd half, and he steadily kept the lead out of reach for a comeback.
Mavs didn’t even shoot well from 3. Luka less than 30% from the field and yet they dominated the Clippers. 😂
That's the point!
Orlando Magic would sweep the Suns
Hilarious how the mismatch went from "Suns over Wolves cause its a terrible mismatch for the wolves" to now "Terrible mismatch for the Suns they never had a chance"
Love you work Legs, best analysis in the media
He needs to get more love! Calls it as it is.
The fact that we never got a Lakers-Clippers playoff series in these last 4 years is the real disappointment 😞
Nope not really they ain’t good enough to advance tired of hearing that.
Y’all and the media used to beg and cry for that shi everyday on espn. “Battle of LA” they overplayed that matchup before it ever happened.
Wouldn't of been interesting, just a bunch of old dudes banging bodies
@@flyguy7825lakers where good enough in 2020 the clippers folded
@@cellycell8970 Kawhi's knee folded. You bronzosexual ignorant PHUCK!
I hate to say this but Kawhi is holding the Clippers back. It’s so obvious that he’s rusty and he’s messing up the offensive flow of the Clippers. I think Kawhi should come off the bench until he’s fully healthy again or else it’s a 1st rd exit
Give kyrie no credit as usual
Stop being a cry baby
they love them some luka oh and jokic...
"what's your budget on this show" 😂
Mike conley is the key, great team but how he runs point is amazing
And the dude is doing this @ 36 yrs old... The guy is the ultimate floor general, might not show up in the stats with a ton of assists but the way he stabilizes the offense is brilliant, and can still hit that three anytime he's open...
Jokic is naturally funny . He got good commercials
Ehh just put KD/Steph & Bron with younger & athletic players & they’re in the mix next season
Exactly what Legler i saying. What's the other guy talking about "Denver is still there" after the changing of the guard comment? The Nuggets' best player is still under 30.
Denver will lose to Minnesota this year! Mark it! The league prefers Antman to Joker.
Technically if the guard changes and they’re not moved then the guard is still the same. I honestly feel like if they go back to back, that SVP comment still works bc even if DEN is young, the “changing of the guard” comment applies to the CHALLENGERS, NOT THE FINAL GUARD.
And DEN IS GOING BACK TO BACK, imo.
Steph already home now Bron and KD bouta get swept, end of an era.
Nah just put them with younger & athletic players
@@TheUncannyOne They're just going to ask for trades. Too late for KD and Bron to leave town and Curry might just have to get down the road.
@@falcon1378 I think Steph has the best chance at a ring, Warriors have trade pieces & serviceable young players like Podz/Kuminga/ TJD & Moody. They need a big man & a PG like player
@@TheUncannyOneTrue problem is they all want to team up, just to end up with a washed old and lazy roster that feels entitled.
Since 2019 what did KD do in the playoffs 😉??
Legs always does a great job at breaking the game down.
Suns got 3 1 on 1 offense player that play your turn my turn basketball. The Timberwolves play team basketball and great defense.The Mavs with Luca & Kyrie also play great on both side of the court.
Playoff P and the always injured klaw are such a dissapointment. Its like neither of them ever care. Whoever thought this team was serious hasnt watched them the last 4 years. They flat out dont give a flying f about winning
They are only watching for thhe "Load Management" 🤣 These are jsut "Part time" NBA players that are just here for the money. True definition of Work smart, NOT hard 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t no which is worse, Kawhi being out all the time vs Playoff P building brick houses every playoffs series 😅
@@lezterRNBFacts Kawhi a winner so I can see why he doesn’t care anymore but PG has no excuse
It’s not playoff P it’s pandemic P
Booker trying his best to avoid Luka😂😂😂
The clippers are past their time. What once was is not their any more. The Wolves beat the clippers to death
The Wolves?
But Denver best players are all under 30 so they are young. I don't know what that guy meant by " we're still here"
Meaning they aren’t one and done and they just went on some magical run. I mean look at Milwaukee. They haven’t been able to repeat that championship success.
@@ryguyk9375Milwaukee’s championship was such a fluke run. If Kyrie’s ankle didn’t land on Giannis’s foot, no way they make it through Brooklyn in the semifinals
@@AustinLoveArc A lot of success is built on luck and great timing though.
This duo 💯
If you were to tell me that a team with KD, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal are on the verge of getting swept I would’ve laughed at you then swung on you after. 😅
But nope it’s true. It’s happening. Just goes to show that super teams or at least top heavy teams aren’t gonna get it done. Also it appears LeBron, KD, and Steph aren’t gonna win anytime soon for the remainder of their playing days. 😢
When Gobert walked the whole building erupted 😂😂😂😂😭
Nobody thought the sun's would win this year without a pg or a bench
Yet so many people said this is a nightmare match-up for the Wolves. They lost all 3 games to them in the regular season. And I love how the story is now about how the Suns are poorly constructed. The Wolves are absolutely bullying this team.
Bro, nobody believed in the wolves except MN fans. Now the suns are gonna get swept.
Cap suns were favorite for series
@@boonebeasley9622 no haha everyone knew wolves would win
@@jessykarojas854must be nice living in dream land… Suns were one of the title favorites before the season began… Suns crashed and burned plain and simple
Denver is a young team, too. They are not in the same class as KD, Steph, and Lebron.
For a small market MN is a basketball state. We started the lakers greatness, we have top end first round draft picks (Suggs, Chet, David Roddy, Tyus Jones). Basketball is our next hockey, especially if the wolves can stay good and in contention for some years. Look out for us we produce athletes.
I don't think David Roddy deserves to be on the list of "top end." He did make the NBA though. I only work a 9-5 job.
@@nathanaelgion2762 he was the 15th pick right, thats what i ment by top end, not quality of play in the league
lol MN is still out paced talent wise by 70% or the country
@@whoishim2998 not the best but a force, smaller talent pool(population).Not even 6 million here.
Most definitely changing of the guard times new face of the league
I wanna see Minnesota win everything they are super fun to watch
0 for 7 with 1 point and 2 technicals
Playoff WestBRICK in Full Force
Lol
Leonard jogging back? Somethings really wrong with that knee of his.
Bradley Beal is sorry 🤣
Ant is that guy. Some guys are supremely talented and can succeed based off that alone but very few have a competitive mentality that sets them apart. Magic had it. Bird had it. MJ had it. Kobe had it. LeBron KD Harden Kawhi etc. NEVER had it. Ant has it
Tim is the Man
What's sad about it. You were once young now, you are older. Its their time to shine. Our older players need to know when to retire. Most players stick around until the wheels fall off.
The Sun didn’t want D Ayton and they can’t get rebounds or contested layups
Denver /Minnesota is going to be a great series
Not questioning KD's ability to play ball, rather his ability to lead a team...
I never heard of a team leader being a blunt head😂
It makes sense why he just wants to just shoot ball, and not be a team leader.
Looking forward to next round: Thunders vs Mavs and Nuggets vs Wolves. Great basketball out west.
50-28 in the glass. Dang!
Yep. Suns have no chance to contend with Minnesotas length. Nurkic has hurt but he’s not a savvy player. KD and Bol Bol are tall but have negative strength.
Don’t matter they both getting swept 😂
Clippers and suns ofc
@@VibezTv1015 And KCP bringing out the broom again to brush off the Lakers.
The suns are a disaster the one hope my nets have are those draft picks
Watching these games I believe both Dallas and Minnesota could give Denver a run for their money. Either way, the series would be 🔥🔥🔥! I love OKC squad too but nobody in their lineup has the weight to deal with Jokic😅
As a wolves fan that was definitely a travel by gobert at 1:34 lol
I said it once and I’ll say it again this particular Mavericks team, has a unique opportunity to be a dominant force for the next 10 years. #LETSGOMAVS
It’s 100% changing of the guard. The younger players clearly taking over . Younger they can shoot and play D
They think Jokic is 36 years old lol.
They????
Legler literally said Jokic is a YOUNG player. SVP never mentioned his age.
What are you listening to?
Embiid
Where’s Maddog??? I need him to explain what happened??
Who said the wolves were a first round exit
Why doesn’t Frank Vogel play Isaiah Thomas? I don’t get it. They are struggling cuz they don’t have offensive flow… I’m pretty sure IT can help them
He was a late addition and he doesn't have chemistry yet with the team. He will have to prove himself in practice first before getting that starting point guard role. Maybe next season.
Agree but on the other end he was never good prime IT was a bad defender just think that over the hill IT is even worse but yes they have to try something different
Not even prime IT saves the Suns 😅
U see what the Twolves defense is doing to KD, Beal and Book 😂 imagine what will happen to IT
Who had the T-Wolves sweeping the Suns when the season started? 😂
Love how prior to this series everyone was saying it’s a terrible match up for the wolves and now it’s oh it’s bad for the suns
Booker ducking Luka # Phoenix SON's
Uncle Anthony gets to babysit this year
The Jolly Giant Jokic vs ANT 🔥
KD, LBJ, Davis, Booker, and Curry getting ready for Paris 2024 Team USA..
KD really just melo with 2 rings
The amount of disrespect when attempting to give flowers. "They only have one offensive dude. Everyone is just dudes filling their roles."
New era has arrived baby
Suns can still win this series. To quote a true competitor “I do not fear this new challenge. Rather, like a true warrior, I will rise to meet it”. That needs to be their mentality.
😳 🙄 🤣
My mother is a cow if they win. Too much 420 brownies my friend.
Imagine drafting Marvin Bagley over reigning euro MVP Luka.
That big 3 era over with
Minnesota all the way
Bradley Beal all he for phoenix is getting injured 🤕🤢 and can even play well😮
These NBA playoffs are the things about the old days they the old days
Its funny they say this is worst matchup for suns… before this series started, almost every analyst called this worst matchup for wolves. Lets be real, this is not worst matchup for suns. They would lost same to denver. They are playing against much better team, and they are feelling the hammer.
All the old dudes are about to get eliminated ...... lebron, kawhi Paul george, harden , Durant.....
Clippers need to blow the team up if mavs eliminate them..... that core is too old now....... paul george should go join steph on the warriors
Warriors letting klay go and replacing him with PG would actually be pretty smart. Watching them try to operate on 2 timelines has been so frustrating and now klay and Draymond are washed and by the time kumminga, podz, moody and TJD are in their prime they won’t be able to compete with guys like Ant, luka, and wenby
@@joshvms1268 GS need to get rid of the "loyalty" game and start building an actual good team. Either Klay become a bench player or he can go, and Draymond next suspension should be his exit ticket.
Gobart refining his image plus phoenix looking blank as they have nothing in term of asset they have to trade beal
It’s the end of the old guard ( Lebron, Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Leonard , CP3,Harden etc…). It’s a new league and I’m loving it.
I'd argue its more poor roster construction than a changing of the guard. Lakers and Suns have such a poor support cast. The Suns butchered their own roster for KD and Bradley Beal. They could have been more deliberate even if they got KD to keep some of their key role guys and build a proper team around those 2. Would have been enough. They got fleeced on both trades and have nothing now to work with. Lakers just keep making desperation swing after desperation swing. Warriors have aged poorly. And I'd still back Curry in a playoff series over Ant or SGA. It's just that the other guys on that team are definitely starting to go over the hill like Clay and CP.
lol. Before the series everyone was saying tje suns were the worst possible matchup Minnesota could have gotten. Now everybody wanna switch up 😂
Same old Clippers. Time to start the rebuild. What has changed with the Clippers in 20 years nothing. The fans deserve better!
Ant giving them back-shot on national TV 😭😭😭😭
You a fruitcake.
Boy i like how they do it. Lakers play on Thursday so all Friday we can talk about them but Suns play Friday so media can’t, so by Monday we’ll forget 😂
Its crazy how Leonard on only took 7 shots. 7. That should 7 per quarter. That him not demanding the dang ball and that's coaching not feeding your best players.
This playoff season shows there are older teams and younger teams, and the older ones are doomed.
Out with the old, in with the new. The playoffs will soon not include most first ballot hall of famers including LeBron, Steph, KD, Embiid, Lillard, Kawhi, PG13, Harden, Russ, CP3, AD, and Butler. A new era is beginning right before our very eyes.
Giannis is still young
@@TheUncannyOne Yep, I also forget that he's still young because he's been in the spotlight so long.
🐺🔒
Steph already home & Bron/KD Are About To Get Sweep changing of the guard #Fact
Chemistry over stardom
I dont blame the suns. I blame the sports media for assigning more to that team than they should have. From the moment that Beal trade was announced, I knew this how it was going to go. Three elite scorers, but only one true reliable one(I am not a fan of booker) and no real depth behind them. Anyone being objective would have seen this team had no shot at being a contender.
So you don’t blame the suns for selling their future and giving up any and all flexibility for a team that’s about to finish worse than they did last year ?
I know it won’t be… but hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of super teams.
Wolves have the best team to take out denver..plenty of big men to wear down joker alone..something lakers lack..AD can only do so much..reason why lakers are about to get swept
Luka should be named MVP this year.
Yes SUNS didn't need Beals. Also Durant nothing personal. Reach championship now nothing bad management 😮
OKC vs Minnesota would be a 7 game series for sure them 2 an denver are gonna rest the west for the next few yeats
Years
Playoff p should
Focus on his craft instead of his podcast career. SMH. Still gonna get a max contract somehow.
Because GMa are slow in the head. 🤣
7 of 25 Doncic and still won and got the stats🧐🤯
These guys got the same suit on? 😂
No matter what, the NBA will never allow the TWolves to win it all
