These two clowns forgot that the Mavs defeated a team that has the DPOY, 6th man and the electrifying Edwards .The Mavs closed the series on the Timberwolves floor.
Remember the run of Boston in 2022? They took care of business against the Nets of Kyrie and KD, beat the Bucks which was the champs in 7 game , and beat the heat in 7 in the ECF finals in their building. That team wasn’t as good as this 2023-2024 team.

I don't know what Paul is talking about. Dallas won several games where Luka or Kyrie weren't playing well. He just says "they have no room for error" as if it's some irrefutable fact.
Who's the 3rd option for Dallas? Boston's 3rd option is either Holiday or KP. Those are all star caliber players. Dallas, outside of their big 2 has role players who've never seen the postseason. He's right.
you completely misunderstood his point. he's not saying dallas has no depth, he's saying that boston is such an elite team that the mavs need the best they can get from luka and kyrie to win a 7 game series. also it's his job to say strong opinions as if they're facts it's what he's paid for as a tv personality.

That’s the coach. This core has lost several tough ecf in 6/7 game series’s and lost a finals to the dynasty warriors. This team has definitely been through the ringer and battle tested. Maybe not this post season but we have the same core that has endured pain for years + adding holiday wuth championship experience
Jrue has a chip too so that = Kyrie’s experience. Who else in the Mavs has finals experience? The rest of the Celtics have finals experience. Doesn’t matter if it’s losing experience.

Love how they talk experience and “being there” like Luka hasn’t been a pro since 13 and already won a euro title while leading the team. Not an nba title, but guy knows how to win and isn’t gonna fear the moment.
@@ezekielspates5677 okay.... in simple terms It means that Luka and Kyrie have already crossed home base, and other than Jrue the Celtics are still blue-balled.
@@shaft9000 hey ok if you're talking about experience than Celtics have the edge in that department. I really don't understand some of y'all why do y'all think just because the Celtics made it to the finals and lost that they're not capable of going back two years later and winning like it hasn't happened before?
The wolves beat the mavs in the regular season.. 3 times I think? And it’s amazing how they fought a different breed of animals in the playoffs. I get it, the Mavs lost to the Celtics a couple times in the regular season, but this Mavs team are mavericks.. that’s why they’re the Mavs. 😂 they’re very unpredictable. Logic says it’s Celtics at 6 but heart says it’s Mavs at 5.
Im neither Celtics or Mavs fan but i got Mavs in 6. I feel like as a collective Mavs play way more consistent defensively than the Celtics. Whos gonna stop Doncic&Kyrie in a 7 games series right now? Dallas has shown they dont care about home court advantage, especially Doncic seems to thrive in those games. Against this Celtics defence i can see Kyrie&Luka having maybe 2 bad games out of 7 but more than that seems like a reach. What ever they say Celtics HAVE NOT faced a duo like Kyrie&Luka in the eastern conference so far. Im not trying to downplay Celtics , they are a great team obv, but Kyrie&Luka are fire rn.
@@0fwRs another really big factor is Lively ll and Gafford. Minnesota was a “big man team” yet they couldnt stop all those lobs and points in the paint to save their lives. Compared to Celtics team that is much smaller, idk if a 37 year old horford can keep up with 2 young centers in a 7 game serious. And KP well I’m not worried about him he’ll probably play 3 games this whole serious.
Celtics core team have been tested since 2018. Any team and any fan base would prefer the free ride to the Finals. If the Mavericks had a free ride to the Finals, you'd be joyful, fondling your balls, and wetting the bed right now.
@@mangesh9034305you have to understand what that means though. Celtics haven't had to play at their best to get to the finals, Mavs have... so it's gonna be a serious wake up call for the Celtics when they come into the finals after their cake walk there and suddenly have to go toe to toe with a team who's been fighting tooth and nail all the way there.
Key is fine for what the show it. It’s fun to go against his takes sometimes, but people seem to have a picture of this man in their room while they sharpen their knife’s and axe.
Paul says some dumb things too like white could be the best player for the Celtics for the series if he is your best player this series your losing the finals
People change, n Luka has been performing consistently. Perk n SAS also said the same n now they are saying Luka is one of the best player in the league now.
Washington, Jones, Gafford and Lively always get and average 65 points on 80 percent shooting. While kp tatum horford houser only average 45 ppg on 43 percet shooting
Man this Boston team had the easiest path of all time, and now that’s going to really hurt them. They needed a battle before seeing a team like Dallas.
It's Friday, you can only assume how your comment has aged. Psst...Hit the edit button or delete lol... With these hot takes they're gonna book you for all these shows, ESPN here you come! Am I right!?!
Mavs literally have the same comeback/close game situations but against better teams. Dallas has also been able to win against those teams with a hobbled Luka.
@@Master-Debator by cancel they mean impact. Say Tatum puts up 30/10/6 in the Finals, and Luka does 35/12/9. Subtract Tatum's stats from Luka's you get Luka's impact. Tatum cancels out Luka. It's about winning your match ups. Mavs have the edge @ the 1&2. Boston, (if healthy and dialed in) has the edge everywhere else. If Boston is smart, they'll stop everyone else and make Kyrie and Luka have to average 50 AND play defense to win. If they're dumb, they shoot a million 3s and give up lobs.
Did they not see Luka guard PG13, Harden, and SGA effectively and sometimes lock them down during this run? Not saying he'll lock down Tatum & Brown, but he's shown he can keep up
What?! So why Skip and half of yall keyboard thugs picked Dallas?! Besides the 2011 Mavs were a threat! They caught fire on the right time, had Finals experience (Dirk and Kidd) and good role players. It wasn´t like folks counting them out.
@@nicholashowerton8555 and mavs were best last 20 and in playoffs boston hasnt played anyone and should of lost to pacers they just cant hold on to a game cus they are nobody
@@slowmotionradio73you're not taking matchups into account. Wolves defense is built for a team like the nuggets. Mavs exposed the big men who have to guard on the wing. Celtics defense is #2 which is built to guard on the wing mainly but also have decent interior presence
@@slowmotionradio73first three games vs the Wolves had a total margin that was like under 20 points. That is with Ant playing average and KAT laying eggs. One of those games, the Wolves were up double digits. Celtics will be fine vs the Mavs.
Mavs beat a baby thunder team that couldn't rebound, and a wolves team that no one takes seriously because Ant is young and KAT chokes in the playoffs... Nuggets would have steamrolled the Mavs... So will the Celtics
Keyshawn been sounding like a fool this entire playoffs when talking about the MAVS. Has picked the opposing team everytime. He’s our good luck charm. lol MAVS in 6
paul pierce saying the mavs superstars need to play great but celtics superstars dont is outlandish. we've seen kyrie and luka be mediocre for majority of a series and the role players stepped up to win.
Yeah but Minnesota is a great team. Pacers shouldn't have been there in the first place and then take away their best player after that lol@@ren.nshrimpy
Actually use your brain. Those guys on the clippers are almost all the same type of player. The ones on Celtics all do different stuff and different in size.
Alright i got to the point in video where pauls bias came in 😂😂😂😂 ong it was way worse than i expected 😂😂😂 laughing at the mavs bench like they're clowns 😂😂
he isn't, because even Las Vegas says Boston is the favorite LOL If you actually watch ball and have a thinking head instead of an emotional heart, you would know this will be an eas series for Boston. They already beat this team multiple times without problems. Only Denver had a chance against Boston
Last year it was clear Keyshawn really wanted the Nuggets to fail. And this year it's clear he wants the Mavs to lose. What do you think are the similarities between the two teams?
Goofy tiki torch owning fans? It seems that when certain players win, certain other ppl will speak as if said player won by themselves. Seems like two sides of the same bias.
Not really. Luka us like Jokic. He's too good to try to make him give the ball up. He'll just get a triple double on you. The way to beat them is to stop everyone else. If Boston is smart they'll play him straight up. Make Luka and Kyrie work to score, and force them to carry the load. Then make them play defense.
@@sidjones16 Problem is Boston plays small, and if Dallas counters with Hardy thats another serious issue for Boston. The guy plays like Kyrie, but with hops. He and Kyrie have the quickest first move to the hoop of anyone remaining in the playoffs.
Dallas is gonna own that paint in my opinion.... And thats the X factor rather than the 3rd 4th 5th options... Minnesota got flustered from all that movement in the paint... Dont let Boston get on their heels or Dallas will pour it on
Playing porzingis after not playing a playoff game is risly for boston too. Mavs are the best defensive team in the league. Celtics almost lost 3 games to the pacers😂
Bring him off the bench to get his rhythm and cardio up. Minutes restriction. Him standing at the 3pt line is enough to pull their shot blockers out is fine enough. Have him just run down court and seal his man under the rim. Do some switches so he being guarded by Luka or Kyrie. At that point its give up an easy basket, take a foul, or help and leave someone better open. Dude could barely score and have an immense impact on the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being Finals MVP with all the attention Luka will have. What most Celtic supporters forget is that offense>defense. Ky and Luka are a madness when it comes to lighting up the scoreboard
MAVS IN 4!! Tatum & Brown boutta be locked up by Pj & DJJ, Porzingis boutta be bullied down low by Gafford & Lively, and Kyrie & Luka gon’ lit up Holiday & White’s bald aah🤣🤣🫵
See that's exactly why teams fail against the Mavs, cause they think 1 v 1 defense is enough for Kyrie and Luka. Their system is based on forcing teams to play 4 v 3 basketball or pay the price. There's no such thing as canceling out Luka and Kyrie with any other duo in the league, that's absurd.

That’s the coach. This core has lost several tough ecf in 6/7 game series’s and lost a finals to the dynasty warriors. This team has definitely been through the ringer and battle tested. Maybe not this post season but we have the same core that has endured pain for years + adding holiday wuth championship experience
all they have is experience choking 😂
Jrue has a chip too so that = Kyrie’s experience. Who else in the Mavs has finals experience? The rest of the Celtics have finals experience. Doesn’t matter if it’s losing experience.
@funkydevil8293 😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡, do yall Celtics fans here yall selfs, yall have "TaTuM", how much more help does he need. Yall sum cliwns fr, lmao, Kyrie an Luka dont have near as much "Talent", lmao. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
Skip And Pierce Dripped out 💧
Key didn’t get the memo.
Key dress like my grandpa

Paul Pierce even got a suit to match the backdrop? Dude's got style for miles.
😂 that explains why I feel dizzy whenever the camera turns to that man melting into the backdrop
U should meet up with him at diddys party
Is anyone ever going to tell PP how to pronounce doncic? Don-kich 😂😂
I love how easily annoyed Skip gets these dudes.

He’s a lot smarter than them
i would be annoyed too when someone is telling me that we gotta worry about exum and green lmao
@@whitemamba0312😂😂😂😂 and Tim hardaway😂
@@snakeinthegrass20 shannon would challenge skip a lot.

Good betting tip, always pick the opposite of Keyshawn
😂
Just like Barkley
Analysts are going to be blaming shallow bench and competitive rust when Dallas take the lead.
Love how they talk experience and “being there” like Luka hasn’t been a pro since 13 and already won a euro title while leading the team. Not an nba title, but guy knows how to win and isn’t gonna fear the moment.
Bro euro league ain't the nba there's levels to this
@@ezekielspates5677 Luka and Kyrie both have proven to rise to the occasion over Brown and Tatum at this point.
@@dustinbarlow1623 wtf does that have to do with what I just said?
@@ezekielspates5677 okay.... in simple terms It means that Luka and Kyrie have already crossed home base, and other than Jrue the Celtics are still blue-balled.
@@shaft9000 hey ok if you're talking about experience than Celtics have the edge in that department. I really don't understand some of y'all why do y'all think just because the Celtics made it to the finals and lost that they're not capable of going back two years later and winning like it hasn't happened before?
The wolves beat the mavs in the regular season.. 3 times I think? And it’s amazing how they fought a different breed of animals in the playoffs.
I get it, the Mavs lost to the Celtics a couple times in the regular season, but this Mavs team are mavericks.. that’s why they’re the Mavs. 😂 they’re very unpredictable. Logic says it’s Celtics at 6 but heart says it’s Mavs at 5.
Mavs might sweep these boys that’s what’s funny to me
That’s fine everyone keep picking the Celtics! Us mavs fan love being the underdogs
What are you talking almost every single big influencer and media analysts are picking the mavs and a lot of fans are too.
Im neither Celtics or Mavs fan but i got Mavs in 6. I feel like as a collective Mavs play way more consistent defensively than the Celtics. Whos gonna stop Doncic&Kyrie in a 7 games series right now? Dallas has shown they dont care about home court advantage, especially Doncic seems to thrive in those games. Against this Celtics defence i can see Kyrie&Luka having maybe 2 bad games out of 7 but more than that seems like a reach. What ever they say Celtics HAVE NOT faced a duo like Kyrie&Luka in the eastern conference so far. Im not trying to downplay Celtics , they are a great team obv, but Kyrie&Luka are fire rn.
Telling ya
lmao no one online is picking the Celtics
@@0fwRs another really big factor is Lively ll and Gafford. Minnesota was a “big man team” yet they couldnt stop all those lobs and points in the paint to save their lives. Compared to Celtics team that is much smaller, idk if a 37 year old horford can keep up with 2 young centers in a 7 game serious. And KP well I’m not worried about him he’ll probably play 3 games this whole serious.
Nothing like watching Pierce put Keyshawn in his place. The Duck Boat
Celtics got a free ride to the Finals. Mavs have been tested in the playoffs and shown they are ready to beat any team in the West or the East.
Celtics core team have been tested since 2018. Any team and any fan base would prefer the free ride to the Finals. If the Mavericks had a free ride to the Finals, you'd be joyful, fondling your balls, and wetting the bed right now.
You’d have a point if this was the C’s first run lol
They haven’t beat the Celtics past 4 games
@@mangesh9034305you have to understand what that means though.
Celtics haven't had to play at their best to get to the finals, Mavs have... so it's gonna be a serious wake up call for the Celtics when they come into the finals after their cake walk there and suddenly have to go toe to toe with a team who's been fighting tooth and nail all the way there.
@@devinleisinger4855Mavs didn't have the squad or chemistry they have now lol regular season don't matter at this point

I'm proud of key tho. Being from La California he made it far . Both man did
Key is fine for what the show it. It’s fun to go against his takes sometimes, but people seem to have a picture of this man in their room while they sharpen their knife’s and axe.
Paul says some dumb things too like white could be the best player for the Celtics for the series if he is your best player this series your losing the finals
@@Drewswaggy He's a degenerate
Nembhard went 24-10-6 without Haliburton in gm 4. Respectfully, he ain't Kyrie or Luka.
Lol a year ago Skip didn't think Luka was all that now he's Jordanesque lol. This guy is such a troll
Least he doesn’t compare to Stephen a smith 😂
People change, n Luka has been performing consistently. Perk n SAS also said the same n now they are saying Luka is one of the best player in the league now.
Skip is all about playoff succes. Until you get to the Finals your not proven to him.
Who's going to keep Gafford and Lively off the glass?
Mr. Glass himself, KP ☠️
That’s what I been saying, the Mavs bigs are gona eat
absolutely no one lol. mavs gonna eat in the paint and out rebound the celtics.
Al Horford. …. ………. 😖😂🤣😂🤣
@@peterrahn1606 ask the wolves how their two towers did against us.........😅🤣😂😂😂
Washington, Jones, Gafford and Lively always get and average 65 points on 80 percent shooting. While kp tatum horford houser only average 45 ppg on 43 percet shooting
Man this Boston team had the easiest path of all time, and now that’s going to really hurt them. They needed a battle before seeing a team like Dallas.
It's Friday, you can only assume how your comment has aged. Psst...Hit the edit button or delete lol... With these hot takes they're gonna book you for all these shows, ESPN here you come! Am I right!?!
Mavs literally have the same comeback/close game situations but against better teams. Dallas has also been able to win against those teams with a hobbled Luka.
Celtics could easily win but to act like you can cancel out Luka with Brown or Tatum is insanity
easily? if any teams is gonna win easily its the mavs
@@Stopthecap24 I have no dog in the fight, my point is whether you think Celtics or mavericks winning, acting like Luka is cancelable is crazyyyyy
@@Master-Debator by cancel they mean impact. Say Tatum puts up 30/10/6 in the Finals, and Luka does 35/12/9.
Subtract Tatum's stats from Luka's you get Luka's impact. Tatum cancels out Luka.
It's about winning your match ups.
Mavs have the edge @ the 1&2. Boston, (if healthy and dialed in) has the edge everywhere else.
If Boston is smart, they'll stop everyone else and make Kyrie and Luka have to average 50 AND play defense to win. If they're dumb, they shoot a million 3s and give up lobs.
Did they not see Luka guard PG13, Harden, and SGA effectively and sometimes lock them down during this run? Not saying he'll lock down Tatum & Brown, but he's shown he can keep up
Sounds like 2011 repeating itself! Count Dallas out if you want to.
Stop the cap every single channel podcast is picking Dallas stop lying to yourself.
Except this Mavs team is better and Celts don't have an all-time talent like LeBron.
What?! So why Skip and half of yall keyboard thugs picked Dallas?! Besides the 2011 Mavs were a threat! They caught fire on the right time, had Finals experience (Dirk and Kidd) and good role players. It wasn´t like folks counting them out.
@@stevequantie8064lebron was everything but a all time talent in that series😂

On what star player?
@@whh3946 he plays the passing lanes well. Good for him
Yeah but lets not talk about Luka having better defensive numbers than Tatum.

Timberwolves didn't have the #1 defense in the regular season. The Celtics did. And still they're the #1 defense.
@@nicholashowerton8555 and mavs were best last 20 and in playoffs boston hasnt played anyone and should of lost to pacers they just cant hold on to a game cus they are nobody
@@slowmotionradio73you're not taking matchups into account. Wolves defense is built for a team like the nuggets. Mavs exposed the big men who have to guard on the wing. Celtics defense is #2 which is built to guard on the wing mainly but also have decent interior presence

@@slowmotionradio73first three games vs the Wolves had a total margin that was like under 20 points. That is with Ant playing average and KAT laying eggs. One of those games, the Wolves were up double digits.

Mavs beat a baby thunder team that couldn't rebound, and a wolves team that no one takes seriously because Ant is young and KAT chokes in the playoffs... Nuggets would have steamrolled the Mavs... So will the Celtics
Celtics in 6
Keyshawn been sounding like a fool this entire playoffs when talking about the MAVS. Has picked the opposing team everytime. He’s our good luck charm. lol MAVS in 6
Oh Paul Pierce is nervous 😂 lol he’s usually the most levelheaded when it doesn’t involve teams he prefers . Mavs in 5
You're smart
Yeah Boston did it in5 without hardly breaking a sweat lol
Lmaooooo he said key we gon get you on that duckboat and get you some clam chowder 😂😂😂😂
The Celts are DEFINITELY not deeper. They got a great 6-7, but not deeper.
in a playoff situation you only go about 7-8 deep anyways...
Clown
quality over quantity
Celtics have probably 6 of the best 8 players, depending on what you think of Al vs. Lively.
They’re much much much deeper. This is going to be light work for the Celtics
Luka has been playing great defense this postseason, paul is wrong
Dallas and Fort Worth is the best two cities in the world.
paul pierce saying the mavs superstars need to play great but celtics superstars dont is outlandish. we've seen kyrie and luka be mediocre for majority of a series and the role players stepped up to win.
Lolwut
Mediocre for Luka is like 26/8/9😂
That means the competition was trash AND were excessively doubling instead of making the stars beat them. Basically bad teams overall.
@@sidjones16 so the clippers thunder and wolves were bad comp? 😂 you have no idea what you’re talking about

No Porzingis though, ur the insane one.
Kleber is shooting 50% from 3 in these playoffs. He is the key to unlocking all of Dallas’ lineups, big and small. All of those lineups defend well.
On how many attempts?
@@sidjones16 He only played the Clippers series, he was 11-22 and was injured in game 6.
Key how does JT + JB automatically cancel Luka + Kyrie?
Luka Better then Tatum and Kyrie with an untucked jersey is smoking Brown
My thoughts exactly. That makes no sense.
Throw the whole Celtics on Luka or Kyrie thats bbq 🍗 baby! Even Jrue Holiday good defender too small on Luka.
Tatum and Brown can give you 60 just like Luka and Kyrie can. That’s not so far fetched especially if they choose to attack them both m
Points
Never forget skip used to hate on Luka 😂
People are underestimating the mavs defense.. and I also think they’re wrong about both Luka and Kai needing to be great.. only one needs to be !!
Lively will average 16 points on 80% with 15 rebounds per game and 5 blocks per game with 3 steals.
tatum, brown, jrue and porzingis sounds a lot like kawhi, george, harden and westbrook
Actually use your brain. Those guys on the clippers are almost all the same type of player. The ones on Celtics all do different stuff and different in size.
Not to mention they're all younger too@@chrislong8559
Mavs In 6!! 💙🤞🏾
Crazy how skip had none of this energy for Luka when Shannon was on the show😂

You're smart
Last year it was clear Keyshawn really wanted the Nuggets to fail. And this year it's clear he wants the Mavs to lose. What do you think are the similarities between the two teams?
Nah it seems like a reach, these two teams are not the most popular teams in the league so it no surprise they don’t have a lot of band wagonist.
@@spannyaad4862 So Clips, OKC, Wolves and Celtics are all more popular than the Mavs? From a Laker's standpoint?
Goofy tiki torch owning fans?
It seems that when certain players win, certain other ppl will speak as if said player won by themselves.
Seems like two sides of the same bias.
Paul The Truth Hurts! The Mavs went through the fire in the WEST.
Luka’s gonna have to guard X, Y, and Z! Whats’s worse for Boston: X, Y, and Z are gonna have to guard him! 😂
Not really. Luka us like Jokic. He's too good to try to make him give the ball up. He'll just get a triple double on you.
The way to beat them is to stop everyone else. If Boston is smart they'll play him straight up. Make Luka and Kyrie work to score, and force them to carry the load.
Then make them play defense.
@@sidjones16 or maybe they just bank on Luka getting injured in the first or second game and sweep every game after that 😂
@@sidjones16 Problem is Boston plays small, and if Dallas counters with Hardy thats another serious issue for Boston. The guy plays like Kyrie, but with hops. He and Kyrie have the quickest first move to the hoop of anyone remaining in the playoffs.
Let’s see if Paul has a same energy after the 1st game
Dallas is gonna own that paint in my opinion.... And thats the X factor rather than the 3rd 4th 5th options... Minnesota got flustered from all that movement in the paint... Dont let Boston get on their heels or Dallas will pour it on
Playing porzingis after not playing a playoff game is risly for boston too. Mavs are the best defensive team in the league. Celtics almost lost 3 games to the pacers😂
He's fragile
Bring him off the bench to get his rhythm and cardio up. Minutes restriction.
Him standing at the 3pt line is enough to pull their shot blockers out is fine enough. Have him just run down court and seal his man under the rim. Do some switches so he being guarded by Luka or Kyrie. At that point its give up an easy basket, take a foul, or help and leave someone better open.
Dude could barely score and have an immense impact on the game.
@@sidjones16 Luka is a better rebounder than anyone on the Boston team, moving out Lively is no advantage to you.
If my name was Skip Bayless,i wouldnt invite any comentator who cant pronounce all the players names.This is basics!Don-cheech!
I personally think the coaching is the X factor.. J Kidd adjust better on the fly
Tatum wouldn't sign my nephews jersey. Mavs in 5😂
Update🤡🤡?☘️☘️☘️
He doesn't owe you anything fool
Luka and kyrie are the 2 best players in this series. Mavs in 6
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being Finals MVP with all the attention Luka will have. What most Celtic supporters forget is that offense>defense. Ky and Luka are a madness when it comes to lighting up the scoreboard
MAVS IN 4!! Tatum & Brown boutta be locked up by Pj & DJJ, Porzingis boutta be bullied down low by Gafford & Lively, and Kyrie & Luka gon’ lit up Holiday & White’s bald aah🤣🤣🫵
See that's exactly why teams fail against the Mavs, cause they think 1 v 1 defense is enough for Kyrie and Luka. Their system is based on forcing teams to play 4 v 3 basketball or pay the price. There's no such thing as canceling out Luka and Kyrie with any other duo in the league, that's absurd.
Paul hit the blunt before the show 💀
He knew the scripts easy money 💵 won like 3 k off FanDuel taken Boston
