This is the first finals where I do not have a team I want to win. I like both sides. I hope the better team in this series wins which sounds obvious and weird but if you know you know.
@@skylanstephens4860we are getting some good storylines. Kyrie abandoned the Celtics and they were better without him. Dallas gave up on Porzingus. Who’s the best in the world Luka or Tatum, kyrie can’t win without bron.
@@denyosworldsport6130I know. Tatum has done nothing but win since he got in the lg. 4 conference finals appearances 2 finals appearances compared to Luka’s 2 and 1
so man great storylines in this finals: -former teammate playing against each other with luka and porzingis, daniel gafford and porzingis, kyrie and tatum plus jaylen brown -kyrie vs the celtics crowd -luka and tatum battling to see which young star gets their first championship -jason kidd going for a title as both a mavs player and coach This finals are going to be great and im excited to see it how it all unfolds.
Tbh it wouldn't be that great lol. Clippers were full of washed/unavailable dudes, Thunder still young and inexperienced, same with Wolves. And Tatum and Brown are known to be chokers under the brightest lights.
He would've faced: Jayson Tatum Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Anthony Edwards Kawhi Leonard Paul George Jaylen Brown Jrue Holiday Kristaps Porzingis Karl-Anthony Towns Rudy Gobert Mike Conley Derrick White Al Horford Jalen Williams James Harden Chet Holmgren In a single run
This Finals sux for Hawks fans. On one side you have the team that constantly beats you. On the other you have a team led by the guy you passed on for a noticeably inferior player (Trae is still amazing and I'm a fan)
Mavs Fun Fact: The Dallas Mavericks are the first team since the 2010 Lakers to beat three 50-win teams en route to the finals. MFF2: They will also be the lowest Western team in the finals since the 95 Rockets. MFF3: In the Luka era the team has yet to be knocked out of the Playoffs by a non-California team. MFF4: Luka leads the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists. The Mavs are also 2nd in OR in the playoffs despite being 23rd during the regular season.
I’m a Celtics fan but MFF5? If they win, they will become the first team since the 1994 Rockets to feature a rookie as one of its five best players (Cassell and Lively).
Kyrie back in the Garden will be a sight to see. Although I don’t think he’ll do something crazy like step on the Celtics logo or have burning sage, the boos will probably be very loud from the Celtics fans.
Most ppl didnt , lets stop actin like yall all knew dallas would go this far , the Nuggets were most ppl favorites heading into the season and playoffs , Thunder were getting more hype , now u wanna act like u knew 😂 foh
Someone explain how the Celtics are "chokers" yet will praise Luka for beating them? Next thing you know, when Cs win they'll be a "superteam". So what are they, a superteam or "chokers"?
Literally like against the Pacers, they won 3 close games that in years past they lose by 10 and instead of saying oh this team has matured it’s why aren’t they dominating. Apparently for them to get respect they have to sweep Dallas by 50 each game and Tatum has to go 45 15 and 10
@@LASAGNA_LARRYexactly the Celtics are just a hated franchise it’s just how it is.

Damn. Last time I watched a video from you was around my senior year of high school. Just graduated and about to work. Glad to see that you're still going! Keep killing it.
So. I’m not going to say you’re wrong. However, I feel as if you’re far to focused on the Wolves series (cuz it just happen) and slightly overlooking the fact that the Mavs also beat the Thunder, who much more closely resemble Boston.
Yeah except Boston has more playoff experience and they have two people who can actually hinder Kyrie, Luka is a beast and I think he'll go off but Kyrie is gonna be struggling again white and holiday 🤷🏽
As someone who goes to grad school in boston where i feel like the people are extremely toxic, i am rooting for kyrie to overcome them and win. This is a spiritual battle for me, i need the mavs to win fr bruh
Mavs won against a team with no center and flexible 5 out line ups with shooters in the OKC series...sure Boston has better perimeter defense with White and Holiday, but i think it's safe to say they aren't stopping both Luka and Kai. Porzingis is notorious, specifically in Dallas, of inconsistency in the brightest moments and especially after injury. I don't see Lively, Luka, Kai, or Gafford being scared of Porzingis and a talented but vertically challenged and old Horford, imo. To be fair, Kai has history with Boston, but I will trust a former champion and respected veteran like Kyrie over a recently injured but still amazing Porzingis. It comes down to "will tatum and brown be better in sum when compared to luka and kai" I won't count out either duo... It's closer than you make it seem respectfully
AND he totally didn’t even actually acknowledge how the real issue with trying to stop Luka & Kyrie is the NEW lob-threat; which is an issue that nobody saw coming since the trade-deadline team has been taking shape and evolving during the playoffs if the Mavs win, it’s not just Luka and/or Kyrie, but it’s a really healthy team culture that is happy with their dynamic roles, and ultimately it’s gonna be the bigs stepping up that will be the x-factor for taking home the title
Dom’s really happy because his team is going to win the championship. Congratulations Dom. After all these years, you can finally see your team raise a trophy again.
I wouldn't say this would be the most toxic NBA finals ever, but it does show how absolutely dumb NBA fans can be and why not a lot of major sports fans around the world respect them or even take them serious.
Celtics had a mickey mouse finals run and have the most toxic fanbase in the league, and the mavs have kyrie who has animosty towards boston fans.. it will be toxic
@@stephenwa7417that such a dumb thing to say Micky mouse not only can u point to Damn near evey playoffs in any sport and say injuries is why x team made it the Celtics with a worse roster made the final in a bloodbath of a east 2 years ago and shoulda went last year in a even bloodier east so yea this run sucks but also they already proved they can scale a better conference so that’s a dumb point to even bring up
Celtics are 3 - 5 against top 4 western conference teams this season. None of the teams Celtics faced in the playoffs had 50 wins or a healthy roster (every team had an injured star). Mavericks defeated 51 wins Clippers, 57 wins thunder, and 56 win Minnesota (best defense in the league). The Mavericks two best players are also better than the Celtics 2 best. Luka is also leading the postseason in steals, in addition to scoring, rebounding, and assists. It’s going to be an interesting matchup.
@@crazyluigi6664 ay man, it's all good to take sides too, and I'll be cheering for you if Boston takes the chip, or cheering for Dallas fans if they take the chip. That's part of the beauty of sports. I got no horse in the race; I'm just happy it's not one of the old guard and we get a new champion this year, so I'm almost watching the NBA like a TV show this playoffs where I get to see storylines unfold without needing to get overly emotionally attached to any one team.
Watching luka play is legit so fun. I enjoy a lot of the guys that are in the top of the league now, but something about him just saying “nope. We’re playing at this speed now” and forcing the whole game to slow down or speed up is sick. I’m also really excited to see how Tatum reacts and how he ends up guarding Luka (he’s going to have to once they see that Jrue and D White are just too small) I’ve been a fan of Tatum since he was at Chaminade in STL. Dude dropped like a 40 pt triple dub with no effort at all, absolutely insane
I'll take the deeper team that has a couple of bigs who can shoot and a starting backcourt that plays stellar defense. I don't think two big guns is quite enough in a 7 game series without home court advantage. But these things are notoriously hard to guess. We've seen some epic collapses in recent years.
Hingus Pingus coming back healthy could be a key factor in how this series goes. That two headed monster in Dallas is scary, but Lively has been the X factor. Kids playing so well for them, and with Bostons switching, those rolls might do some damage. Especially if Boston only has Horford out there.... I just don't understand the tendency to leave Horford on an island guarding guys like Donovan Mitchell, Haliburton/Matherin, and so on. I love Horford but I knew it would be a problem relying on him so much. Hes great, does the dirty work and can still guard in the paint, but dudes got roots attached to his legs, and Ive got more lateral mobility than him. Hopefully they didn't bring back KP on purpose cuz they knew they'd be able to beat Indiana without him and he's ready to go for June 6. I feel like I should be confident, Boston on paper is a much more deep and prepared roster......but we all know Boston likes to play with their food at times and Ive seen what Luka does to people who doubt him. Gunna be a hell of a series. Kyrie is a hard player to hate when he's on his meds. But I still wanna see Boston whop his butt.
On his meds? You only like people if they are with the go along gang you can’t handle people having different opinions? People who don’t like Kyrie because of his opinions on the shape of the Earth or not wanting to inject himself with something he doesn’t trust are the lowest form of people, I have no respect for people like that.
@@cowboyschad5x778 Opinions are absolutely a reason not to like someone. Kyrie was off his rocker. Youre absolutely allowed to have opinions, Im not arguing that. The fact that you have a problem with me disliking him because of his opinions is hypocritical in itself. When you are a public figure like Kyrie is, and you voice your opinions, you have to know you've got people who are influenced by those opinions. Fine, again, people are allowed to be influenced by their sources of choice for information. Thats part of respecting others ability to have their opinions. But when you voice them, you have to respect the fact that others may not like what you have to say..... You cant get upset at me saying Kyrie has some wild opinions, without implicating yourself as doing the exact same thing to me. Nothing wrong with someone relying on medication to get their head straight, it was a off-coloured joke for sure, ill admit that. But he does seem happier and like he's learned to keep his opinions to himself and his inner circles, and were all better for it..... (in my opinion). I like Kyrie as a player. Im allowed to not like him as a person. I separate the art from the artist, but again, Im allowed to dislike him for my personal reasons.
Celtics fans trying so hard to convince themselves they will win lmao 🤣 they know they are scared. This Mavs team is different and scary these playoffs. They’ve been the underdog every series and without home court advantage. They’ve beaten 3 of the top 4 teams in the west with 50+ reg season wins. Meanwhile all the teams the Celtics have played have less than 50 wins, let that sink in. Naw, this Mavs team is on a mission. They are the dark horse and will win it all this year, just like that run they had back in 2011.
@@JayyxanderrJust like you trying to convince yourself that the Mavs will win this series. You all just spout nonsense and could not even bet real money - all talk. Celtics in 6 trust me.
@@GoodyearSimp - aww. For 6 days you remembered my words. They burnt. They burnt hard. But you were did not forget, no sir. 🤣yeah bro, you should bet on the sweep! Kyrie is sure to have 3 more games playing like ass. DO IT. DO IT. 🤣Tell you what, if you're right, come back after they win 4-1 or better and I'll eat crow. I will say I was a bit shocked Kyrie let the boos get to him. First he hit the side of the backboard on a 3. Then he dribbled the ball off his foot. I didn't think he'd be that affected by it. He was a mental midget in game 1
Finally somebody with a brain analyzing this series it’s absolutely ridiculous how many people are picking Dallas it’s about who has the best starting 5 and not the best player !
Mavs in 4... if you take into account the last 10 games, the mavs have a better 3p% and Fg% on the road... vs celtics at home 3p% and Fg%... the mavs are better on the road than they are at home. The opposite can be said about the celtics... However, the mavs stats, although worse at home, are still better than the celtics on the road statistics... Dallas beats them both ways, at home and on the road... thats not taking into account that the mavs figures come from facing much harder opposition, in fact, they have had to face one of the toughest team lineup probably since 2011 mavs. You can throw in there that the celtics have a mid W/L against the western conference teams. I just see the mavs demoralizing the celtics much worse than they did to the timberwolves. Yes luka and kyrie aren't ESPNs choice for a championship team, but Luka is inevitable, and kyrie is better than he was back in 2016 when he ended the team with the highest wins of any other team before or since. Are the celtics better than the 16 warriors? Not in a million years. Is luka comparable to lebron? I argue he is better. Mavs in 4.
You are probably trolling, but if you are not saying this Celtics team is getting swept is beyond delusional. Picking the Mavs over Boston is questionable anyways, but you wrote a whole lotta nonsense there.
I always say and believe the team with the better defense along with good offense will always win the finals and that is clearly Celtics . I also consider depth and I feel mavs may have the edge on that, but also the stars and I honestly believe that Celtics would have to blow them out before the 4th quarter because they have two guys that I consider to be ‘closers’ in Luka and Kyrie compared to Celtics one in Jaylen Brown(I had this same belief in 2022). It’s so many factors to consider, but either way I will be enjoying every minute of it.
1 thing you didn't mention, which i think is important. JB7 and Tatum both studied under and guarded Kyrie for countless possessions, when he was in Boston.
None of you celtics fans has mentioned how tatum shrinks in big moments and luka and kyrie becpme giants. Keeping quiet on that front praying the narrative changes.
hes been adjusting. its not just about his scoring. he has a bad game and he focuses on rebounding, defense, facilitating. all things hes very talented with. bro literally had a "bad game" and got a triple double a few weeks ago lol
@@alecgleason game 6 w bucks down 3-2 2022 46 points..28ppg series, game 7 philly 50 piece, 10 point OT with go ahead 3 against pacers. Just averaged 30-10-6 in the ecf. It's a fake narrative.
I think the biggest thing not talked about was rebounding. Both Bostons bigs are not the best rebounders, while Lively and Gafford are willing offensive rebounders.
this will be a very entertaining finals, Kyrie has every reason to stick it to the C's and go MJ on steroids in these finals, Luka has just as much clutch in him and see him even raise it a couple notches. I think everyone else but Bostonians want to see the C's lose and that's what we might get if Luka and Kyrie prove that they are the best tandem in NBA history, even if they play one finals together and play like the unstoppable forces they've been to date.
Sorry, Dom. Mavs in 5. Luka is by far the best player. Kyrie could be argued for #2, especially given his experience on this stage. Boston has faced no great team or adversity in the playoffs until now. This to me is the 2017 Cavs all over again. Cakewalking past a garbage East, but getting destroyed in the Finals by the West winner. I just don't see who can guard Luka and Kyrie 1 on 1. No one can. Just too good. Tatum and Brown choke in big games. Mavs in 5
Boston is going to be shocked in game 1. The Mavs have been in several super intense series while the Celtics have been on an easy path due to injuries to their most talented opponents. The Mavs are going into game 1 with an intensity the Celtics aren't ready for.
@@nctified I didn’t you clown. Your comment implied Boston hasn’t had an intense series, while if you watch Boston was down in games 1,3 and 4 vs the pacers with under 5 mins to go and they came back in all 3 games.
Dallas in 6. I got a feeling if KP plays in the series they’re gonna test him out early and if they have success at the rim or dancing on him if they have to switch, that will give you the answer.

if the Mavs win, it’s not just Luka and/or Kyrie, but it’s a really healthy team culture that is happy with their dynamic roles, and ultimately it’s gonna be the bigs stepping up that will be the x-factor for taking home the title

Dom’s really happy because his team is going to win the championship. Congratulations Dom. After all these years, you can finally see your team raise a trophy again.
I wouldn't say this would be the most toxic NBA finals ever, but it does show how absolutely dumb NBA fans can be and why not a lot of major sports fans around the world respect them or even take them serious.
Celtics had a mickey mouse finals run and have the most toxic fanbase in the league, and the mavs have kyrie who has animosty towards boston fans.. it will be toxic
This is like RABBIT SEASON, DUCK SEASON!
@@stephenwa7417 Celtics was getting to the finals regardless.
I understood that reference
@@stephenwa7417that such a dumb thing to say Micky mouse not only can u point to Damn near evey playoffs in any sport and say injuries is why x team made it the Celtics with a worse roster made the final in a bloodbath of a east 2 years ago and shoulda went last year in a even bloodier east so yea this run sucks but also they already proved they can scale a better conference so that’s a dumb point to even bring up
Celtics are 3 - 5 against top 4 western conference teams this season. None of the teams Celtics faced in the playoffs had 50 wins or a healthy roster (every team had an injured star). Mavericks defeated 51 wins Clippers, 57 wins thunder, and 56 win Minnesota (best defense in the league). The Mavericks two best players are also better than the Celtics 2 best. Luka is also leading the postseason in steals, in addition to scoring, rebounding, and assists. It’s going to be an interesting matchup.
But they’re 2-0 vs the mavs

Watching luka play is legit so fun. I enjoy a lot of the guys that are in the top of the league now, but something about him just saying “nope. We’re playing at this speed now” and forcing the whole game to slow down or speed up is sick. I’m also really excited to see how Tatum reacts and how he ends up guarding Luka (he’s going to have to once they see that Jrue and D White are just too small) I’ve been a fan of Tatum since he was at Chaminade in STL. Dude dropped like a 40 pt triple dub with no effort at all, absolutely insane

@@KingK2205 Mavs in 6
Wild that so many people actually think the Mavs win more than 1 let alone win the whole thing
I'll take the deeper team that has a couple of bigs who can shoot and a starting backcourt that plays stellar defense. I don't think two big guns is quite enough in a 7 game series without home court advantage. But these things are notoriously hard to guess. We've seen some epic collapses in recent years.
I'll agree to disagree on the Cs being a deeper team
Home court advantage?? Nah luka got that away team advantage fym lmao
Hingus Pingus coming back healthy could be a key factor in how this series goes. That two headed monster in Dallas is scary, but Lively has been the X factor. Kids playing so well for them, and with Bostons switching, those rolls might do some damage. Especially if Boston only has Horford out there.... I just don't understand the tendency to leave Horford on an island guarding guys like Donovan Mitchell, Haliburton/Matherin, and so on. I love Horford but I knew it would be a problem relying on him so much. Hes great, does the dirty work and can still guard in the paint, but dudes got roots attached to his legs, and Ive got more lateral mobility than him. Hopefully they didn't bring back KP on purpose cuz they knew they'd be able to beat Indiana without him and he's ready to go for June 6. I feel like I should be confident, Boston on paper is a much more deep and prepared roster......but we all know Boston likes to play with their food at times and Ive seen what Luka does to people who doubt him. Gunna be a hell of a series. Kyrie is a hard player to hate when he's on his meds. But I still wanna see Boston whop his butt.
Not Pingus🤣 series is gonna be so toxic and turnt I can't wait
On his meds? You only like people if they are with the go along gang you can’t handle people having different opinions? People who don’t like Kyrie because of his opinions on the shape of the Earth or not wanting to inject himself with something he doesn’t trust are the lowest form of people, I have no respect for people like that.
@@cowboyschad5x778 Opinions are absolutely a reason not to like someone. Kyrie was off his rocker. Youre absolutely allowed to have opinions, Im not arguing that. The fact that you have a problem with me disliking him because of his opinions is hypocritical in itself. When you are a public figure like Kyrie is, and you voice your opinions, you have to know you've got people who are influenced by those opinions. Fine, again, people are allowed to be influenced by their sources of choice for information. Thats part of respecting others ability to have their opinions. But when you voice them, you have to respect the fact that others may not like what you have to say.....
You cant get upset at me saying Kyrie has some wild opinions, without implicating yourself as doing the exact same thing to me.
Nothing wrong with someone relying on medication to get their head straight, it was a off-coloured joke for sure, ill admit that. But he does seem happier and like he's learned to keep his opinions to himself and his inner circles, and were all better for it..... (in my opinion). I like Kyrie as a player. Im allowed to not like him as a person. I separate the art from the artist, but again, Im allowed to dislike him for my personal reasons.
@@cowboyschad5x778 kyrie will never read this bro

Mavs in 4... if you take into account the last 10 games, the mavs have a better 3p% and Fg% on the road... vs celtics at home 3p% and Fg%... the mavs are better on the road than they are at home. The opposite can be said about the celtics... However, the mavs stats, although worse at home, are still better than the celtics on the road statistics... Dallas beats them both ways, at home and on the road... thats not taking into account that the mavs figures come from facing much harder opposition, in fact, they have had to face one of the toughest team lineup probably since 2011 mavs. You can throw in there that the celtics have a mid W/L against the western conference teams. I just see the mavs demoralizing the celtics much worse than they did to the timberwolves. Yes luka and kyrie aren't ESPNs choice for a championship team, but Luka is inevitable, and kyrie is better than he was back in 2016 when he ended the team with the highest wins of any other team before or since. Are the celtics better than the 16 warriors? Not in a million years. Is luka comparable to lebron? I argue he is better. Mavs in 4.
You are probably trolling, but if you are not saying this Celtics team is getting swept is beyond delusional. Picking the Mavs over Boston is questionable anyways, but you wrote a whole lotta nonsense there.

@@kjjr3270 lmao swept my G, Luka gonna be a new father 😂😂😂
I always say and believe the team with the better defense along with good offense will always win the finals and that is clearly Celtics . I also consider depth and I feel mavs may have the edge on that, but also the stars and I honestly believe that Celtics would have to blow them out before the 4th quarter because they have two guys that I consider to be ‘closers’ in Luka and Kyrie compared to Celtics one in Jaylen Brown(I had this same belief in 2022). It’s so many factors to consider, but either way I will be enjoying every minute of it.
Exactly the way they fold at times, not gonna cut it with Mavs. They should be up by 20 going into 4th.
1 thing you didn't mention, which i think is important. JB7 and Tatum both studied under and guarded Kyrie for countless possessions, when he was in Boston.
I wonder if Brown will drop 77 again lol
I follow both channels so as long as the TN is 🔥 I’m in
I liked what you said about Tatum not having to prove himself. He would have the same stats as Luka if he didn’t play such great defense.

Tatum had 10 points in that OT with the pacers, 3 point go ahead bucket with like 40 seconds left. That shi was clutch
hes been adjusting. its not just about his scoring. he has a bad game and he focuses on rebounding, defense, facilitating. all things hes very talented with. bro literally had a "bad game" and got a triple double a few weeks ago lol

Remember what happened the last time Luka saw a 64 win team in the playoffs 🤔🤔 with a considerably worse team (ignoring all context to push my agenda)
Best case scenario for me is this goes to game 7 in Boston, where Luka & Kyrieboth score 40+ in a 45 point win.
