Things got completely out of control in the playoffs. From pure chaos of a game, to a superstar altercation in Dallas, and a debacle in Phoenix.
But we gotta start with the most chaotic game of the playoffs. And it was like that from the start.
The crowd was absolutely rocking in Indiana, as the Pacers blitzed Milwaukee with a double digit lead early on.
The Bucks only scored 6 field goals for the entire first quarter as it seemed like Indi would blow them out in game 3.
After that initial avalanche, and with Lillard having a horrific half of 2 for 10, Milwaukee felt okay with being down just 12 points at the break.
And they continued to chip away at the deficit, setting up a wild 4th quarter.
With the Pacers clinging to a 1 point lead in the final minute, it was crucial for them to score on this possession so…
What a clutch rebound for Siakam the bucket and the foul for a chance to put the Bucks away, buut he misses, leaving the door open for Milwaukee to extend the game and play the foul game.
So with the weight of the world on his shoulders, Nesmith stays ice cold at the line and knocks down 2 huge free throws. So now, whatever you do, don’t allow the three…
Oh my goodness what a shot by Middleton to bring back Milwaukee from the dead, and we go to overtime.
The entire arena is deflated, and in OT, Indi is playing catch up, trying to hang with the Bucks.
And what follows is an epic display of the fight and will to win of a young team, mixed in with the fear and inexperience with the game on the line.
Unbelievable…This was a combined possession of more than a minute and a half.
Amazing effort by the Pacers, but they didn’t know how to capitalize on that, so we got Middleton at the line and he calmly sinks both, so now all of a sudden the Pacers need to save themselves…
And on the other end, phenomenal contest by Nesmith to force this miss, and then things escalate because….
A colossal shot by Nesmith to once again give the Pacers a 3 point lead, so now again, don’t allow the three.
This is pure madness! Middleton goes hero mode again with another crazy shot to tie the game, shocking the entire arena.
But this would set up the final scene of this thriller…
Tyrese send the entire arena into a frenzy! Are you kidding me?! What a wild ride of a game.
He makes the free throw as well, and we all know who’s gonna take this shot right?!
Wooow what a game, without a doubt the wildest of the playoffs, as I gave it a 9.5 on rategame.

Moving on to Dallas where Luka started to really pull the Clippers defense apart in the second quarter.
Yeah that’s Kawhi Leonard who Luka is saying is too small.
Doncic was rolling, the role players were benefiting off of his assists, and the Clippers couldn’t follow this pace. So the Mavs went on a run and by half time this was a 13 point lead.
LA fought in the third quarter, and just when they thought they would have some kind of momentum at the end, leading into the 4th, Kyrie said not a chance.
The Mavs sensed that they could put an end to this game early, so right in the first minute, Luka and Kyrie went to work.
And the entire arena exploded on this fast break…
Seeing that this game is slipping away, the frustration was building for the Clippers, and things got heated at the end…
Westbrook with a disrespectful move towards Doncic, but Luka stays calm and of course his enforces will step in and do the dirty work here as PJ WASHINGTON takes over and handles things.
As it turns out, this would be the most interesting thing in the 4th quarter with the Mavs easily won this game for a 2-1 series lead, and I rated it with a 6.2 on rategame.
And in Phoenix, this was essentially a must win game for the Suns, so I was curious to see if there was going to be a big run at the start similar to how it was in Indiana.
However not only did Minnesota had answer for every bucket, but they went on the break with a 6 point advantage provided by their suffocating defense once again.
And then, the familiar script from every game in this series. The Timberwolves go on a huge run in the third quarter.
And just like that it’s a 20 point lead on the road. Once again the Suns don’t have an answer for Minnesota in the third quarter.
There would be frustration for Phoenix as well and some back and forth chirping but nothing really notable, as Anthony Edwards and the Wolves were able to go in there and completely quiet the crowd taking a commanding 3-0 lead and everything points out to an exciting second round matchup against the reigning champions the Denver Nuggets.
This was only a 5.8 on rategame but we got a 4 game slate for tonight so I’ll see you guys on there. - Спорт
Westbrook yanked Luka and then pushed Luke without restrain... but then get angry because PJ Washington pushed him very slightly. lol
Draymond adjacent
That's exactly how a ninja turtle would react
@@policemofo good comment lol
I think it's because he knew pj had a technical already but aint sure
Bro he isn't mad about the push he is mad about his career ending like trash 😂
I cancelled plans with friends, asked off work, and decided to go to the Pacers game at the last minute, I have no regrets.
great decision
I just texted your boss what you did
I happen to stop by my fav pizza spot for a bite and the game was playing ,so glad I ordered beer and stayed to watch
I told your boss on what you did. He said he will have to speak to you, that you have made a good a decision.
@@dumdumclipanimation and will get a raise and promotion.
These playoffs are really exclaiming that this is a new era for the NBA. The big names we are so accustomed to are fading away for the new, young talent.
Exactly the problem with the Clippers. They sold almost every scrap of potential for 3 HOF'ers (Russ is #4 but on a good contract) who are past their prime. I get giving Kawhi & PG 5 years to do something, but now there are many players just as good and who are way younger. Zu, Mann and Powell are great role players, but they all have their hard limits. They have No talent to replace their big 3 and barely any draft picks to if they hit lottery. Their only hope is that a young blossoming talent will sign at their first free agency. The Clip ship has sailed. They only will win a chip if other teams lose focus and discipline. Mavs did in game 1. Thunder and Twolves don't seem to be as immature as ppl expected. Very sad...maybe the curse is real and maybe with the Clipped TV show and the move to their own arena will break that. I hope so.
LeOldman 😂
This is very refreshing to see
Middleton really out here making people sweat at the end of games😅
Poor guy saved 2 but third one is the charm 😢
with a bad knee 🤑
Too bad his teammates cant guard for one final possession before haliburton cooked them to end the game lmaoo
@@alphinmesa-ks7st haliburton shot 1-12 from three.
@@jaysontatum1132O...kay? Cool user name, super original!
For the 1st time in a long time, I’m ok with the playoffs not being about Bron, Steph, or KD. The new school is officially here and the matchups only get better from here on out. 💪🏾
Yeah, fr. Way more exciting than usual.
ABSOLUTLY!! and Im happy to see things getting passionate and competitive....The King is Dead...Long Live The King (Joker)
Not really rather have curry & bron & KD
it never was about KD since he left the warriors 😂
@@MrDiMES123 trust me I feel very similar given the last 15-20 years but Luka, Ant, Joker, Brunson, Embid, etc have been giving us great basketball. That wasn’t the case when the older guys were at their peak.
Random thoughts:
1. Man, I really want that MIL-IND to go to 7.
2. A healthy and dramaless Kyrie is such a joy to watch and support.
3. Luka is one of the very, very, VERY few who can pull the 'too small' on Kawhi and actually back it up. He's been doing so since he was 21y/o.
4. What if the Wolves actually knock off Denver? I mean, I don't think the media is even ready to tackle that series postmortem aside from 'Ant has arrived.' and 'The Wolves are too big' stuff.
It’s so funny that without kawhi the clippers were killing them with harden and Westbrook, second he’s back they start failing. The epitome of team disfunction.
@@3DOM_ I mean Mavs just played bad the first game. They had worst offense since 2019 that game and played poor defense compared to their current standard. Clippers will need to seriously step up as a whole team to beat them imo. Mavs defense ironically got crem de la crem in the last month or so with Luka and Kai included.. The only two guys they still haven't figured out how to slow down are Powell and Harden.
youth movement in the nba is real
I was thinking the same thing. Nba vets just got their asses kicked last night haha.
Too bad the league ain't marketing their newer stars well.
Yet the NBA keeps marketing Lebron, KD, etc when they should be marketing the guys that will be carrying the league for the next 10 years. They’ll be talking about the Lakers winning 1 game instead of all the amazing young teams. It’s ridiculous
@@Romanus-They gotta appeal to the big public
Time to get the old heads outta here lol
0:16 Ant-Man hit em’ wid the “XXX” 🤣👍
Ant literally said screw the big 3 era lmao
He's having too much fun. 😂
2 words for ya

@@mikeblaze7424 “Suck It!” 🤟😝🤚
Booker: If you can't beat them, chirp and fight them 😂
Westbrick an Ejection and a point😂😂😂😂
2 tech, 1 flagrant, and 1 point.
Westbrick no ring for a reason 😂😂😂
T-Wolves are taking the Suns like Pac-man on blue ghosts
Look at Luka man
It was a crazy game, but Siakam straight up just pushed BP out of the way for that board lol
The officiating in this game was horrible for both sides. It is a bit more biased towards Indiana, but it is a badly officiated game.
Lopez is too soft 😢
Clippers always make dirty plays to Luka in the playoffs.. Marcus Morris did it before this is not new.. This is on Clippers playbook against Luka..
Because they fear luka and know he owns their wimpy dirty azzez😢😢😢
Westbrook has always been a dirty player. He's reckless. It's karma when he got injured when Pat Bev did it to him.
This new era of superstars is really making their presence known immediately. Definitely reminds me of the Byrd/Magic era or the 96 draft class era where they just took the game to new heights purely on skill and determination.
Bro just wanna get ejected to end his misery 😂 I'd do it too if I had only 1 point on a playoff game and it was from a 1/2 free throw 😂
Fr. He was smiling on some camera angles😂 same.thing when he fouled green on the head😂 this dude funny
also he knows that Luka is already better than he ever was. Westbrick got jealous and found a way out of the game. 🤣
How else would you get 1 point?
kd to the timberwolves is a lock lmao
Facts
I like your channel, man. Excellent content, concise, and good presentation. Keep it 💯
The script writers are not in their bags. From blowouts in the same fashion to going blow to blow. Still better than last year.
i think the scipt got lost mid game last night
The only script I wanna see is a Lebron 3-0 comeback 🤴
@@kawhi-theking_of_the_north3536 Blah hah haha
Stefan I really appreciate your videos man! I legit watch almost all of them to make sure I don't miss out on any NBA action🔥
Pj was standing on business
PJ got that dawg in him...
That Bucks ending was wild. I was watching live and couldn't believe middleton sunk such a weird shot to go into OT. Then to end OT halliburton used his skillset perfectly to close it out, I thought bucks had him but he did everything perfect.
Why is Lopez always uninvolved in defensive rebounding? He either boxes a player out or does nothing. Somebody please tell him he is 7.2 foot tall and should get at least 10 defensive rebounds if he plays 40 minutes. Pacers got loads of offensive rebounds almost uncontested
Conserve stamina. He has been number one option on offense for much of his career.
Like people say rebounding ain’t always how tall you are…I think to be a good rebounder you need to have a eye for it and gotta want it more then the other players. I think it’s pretty obvious Lopez doesn’t want it as bad as others do.
He is worthless on rebounds his whole career 😓
He is lazy Guys that’s why he just want to shoot threes he is soft
Playing 30+ min averaging under 5 rebounds tells ya everything u need to know
Ant be giving it to them 😂
Thanks
Love these videos keeping us up with all the action! Thank you so much Stefan!!keep it up!

Nurkic seeing westbrook replay somewhere saying "that brother need help man" 😂
This has been the most entertaining post season by far in the 2020s
Mavs vs wolves is gonna be insane.
Mavs beating Okc and Twolves beating Denver?
@DubCmusicTV I think Mavs has a chance against OKC since they're super young and inexperienced, but no one is beating the Nuggets, including TWolves.
🤣🤣🤣🤔🇸🇮🇸🇮
my be nice to be a Dreamer
Wolves Denver will be for the Chip. The rest is just details
People need to realize the players are different environment and everybody knows that consequences of being limited the playoffs so everybody’s gonna be on edge
You sir just broke my brain
Brain malfunctioning since reading that
5:48 It’s crazy the amount of times Luka gets hit then the players pretending they never touched him
Bro its default that u deny a foul. Every point/foul counts
That bev d 😂😂😂
Pat Beverley is a liability on offense and his defense is suspect. Why do teams continue to pay this man, for morale? Bucks need Giannis back and eventually a new coach.
bro we need another video❤
hey man you should make RateGame available for Android devices too
agree
One thing that got mavs moving was the big role players. So many dunks set the stage.
6:40 Harden's defence = JOKE
at least he puts one hand little bit above sholder
Ant man had the same 100k fine moves by Joel Imbid 😂
NEW ERA written with a heavy font screaming in front of our face and we're on denial. Yup, we all are.
Damn time? 😂
Dat Siakam travel …
Westbrick wanted to bring luka with him to have a chance of winning lol
Westbrick has and always been, a SORELOSER. He is so arrogant when he wins but three times BITTER of a SORELOSER when he loses.
Westbrook, Green, and Beverly have CTE.
2 things you cannot beat is Bucks lack of focus on rebounds & Lakers lack of intensity in defence😂😂
Middleton was awesome in that game.
why am I feeling like KD and Harden already thinking about Spurs?
Why would they be thinking about the Spurs?
Luka didnt say "to small." He actually said, "to fucking small."
westbrick mad cuz bad
Luka hit the ball out of norman powels hand. Kind of reminiscent of D Booker knocking it out of lukas hand with the mavs eventually knocking them out. I hope the same thing doesnt happen to the mavs. Dont get to cocky Luka
When Westbrook got ejected I was like this is going to be everywhere on the internet 😂
Middleton made the same shot against the Celtics a few years back. The first one.
Back court, did he carry the ball?
Mavs defense has been the best in the playoffs this far.
middleton was nuts
Whatever happened to taken high percentage shots?
Phoenix playing iso every possesion. Nothing surprising that they lost by that much.
getting beal was their biggest mistake and as everyone predicated it turned out horible
The Nets and Wizards will be eating good off those picks from 2026-2030.
@@BlackPointt Beal is a good player in a bad team. Not exceptional, just good. An average player with really bad defense that happened to have the opportunity to shine in D.C with a horrible team. Empty stats
Doncic needs to get tatted: Clippers Daddy by next season
FR34K better get well quick!
russel on the down slope donick on the up. Russel is so bitter.
The Pacers v Bucks game is what an NBA game should be.
GM: I have an idea… bring the best losers to the same team. Russ and Harden
nah man in OT when indiana passed to under their goal. that needs to be back court. you are already in the front court. you should not be able to pass behind back court inbound or not.
It seems like Booker look after additional BB-fathers ?
so is Gobbert to Timberwolves not one of the worst trades of all time anymore? The guy's defensive presence literally made them a top team.
Why is the app only for IPhone users?😢
Idc what anybody say Khris Middleton an all star caliber player still
For real. It's just that injuries fvcked him up
Westbrook was ungry. But my friend LD77 walk avay. Smart. 1 point 0/7 shoot. And he was frustreted because soon Luka will be 1 in 3 doubles. Go Luka, go Mavs. We got this. 💪🔥🇸🇮
Middleton was always the Batman
Durant to the NBA champs next year! He needs more superstar teammates...just not enough iso-ball and poor defense/heart.
Is toppin OBI 1 (obi-wan) ? I realize that now
He should get more minutes.
As much as i like PG. I'm not mad that Russ and Harden's legacies are being tainted even further.
I don't understand the rating thing at all. Are you only rating for the excitement of the last 5mins of a game? Surely there are a lot more to a game than the last 5mins.
Luka sold the foul to get Westbrook mad
Knicks 6ers is shaping up to be a chippy series too. Luka is TOO BIG to have been spun around by Westbrook in such a dramatic fashion....Luka smart....he put something extra on that and then baits w/ the mouth.....I like Luka...A LOT....wish he would talk and dance less and CRUSH his opposition in silence....Not quite 80's NBA physicality but I'll take it...many games this year playoff have been filled w/ hustle, extra effort and toughness...its been great!
Hey, love the content! Are there any plans to bring rategame to the google play store?

the grass is not growing for the teams that hire KD :-) he is a great player but lot a leader and not to be lead, and that is problematic
NBA playoffs isn't drawing any viewers, it's bad. Hopefully this helps.
Both LA teams are in the brink of first round elimination..
it's Indy tho, not Indi :)
Peroooo
offensive taunt that slips
Westbrook just made sure they lose the first round. Apparently he don’t know who Luka is…
I miss the old heat check with game analysis instead of this recap. Almost every basketball fans already know what happened to this games.
I think you are better than GOAT at these videos
ITS OBVIOUS..russ rand luka respect its other
As reckless as Russ was yesterday he’s the only clippers that can guard Luka & Kyrie and not get torched
siakam travel?? homie took four steps and didnt even pretend to gave the ball smh.
WTF is patbev doing guarding tyrese from halfcourt? good defender my ass lmao
Chris "Decided To Be A Superstar" Middleton - I miss Chris Smoove :(
Luka doing the too small on kawhi when he's clearly hobbled. Going to regret that if kawhi gets back to full strength in this series. Kawhi has always destroyed luka in playoffs why would he do that before even winning 1 series 😂
