A week before the playoffs started, the Twolves had the 9th best odds to win the finals...9th! I'm so happy people are starting to respect us! We've been one of the best teams all year.
That's an important observation. The first explanation would be that the Wolves are expected to have a letdown (which I think is possible, but not significant enough).
I love that they just assume that the finals is going to be the Celtics and Timberwolves. The NBA is just a story now. They act like it's not even a possibility for the pacers to win after they both said the Pacers couldn't beat the knicks in the last series. Come on man.
That's the beauty of sports. Any team can pull off the upset. One of my favorite sayings is 'any given sunday'. That applies to football mostly but the principal is the same. Any team can beat any other team on any given day. There are so many variables that go in to deciding a winner. Sure the probability might be lower for certain teams, but in the playoffs you never count anyone out. Good luck to the Pacers man.
@@Mike-pd6np agree 100%. The odds are definitely not in their favor according to most people in the know but those same people picked the Knicks last series (with the injuries). Anything can happen. However, it’s highly unlikely the NBA wants to see an Indianapolis vs Minnesota finals. They would much rather see Boston against one of those teams so they have at least one major market in there.
Bro 10 assist don’t always mean something you can have 10 assist and your treating your entire team like they Miami Heat Ray Allen not saying Luka doing that but still
That's why you have to win 4, and each game can make you feel like either team is better. We learned that from the previous series. Wolves can drop the 1st 2 games and still come back to win.
I dont want ro hear the injured part i get it but nah we gotta hold these superstars wit accountability jus like we do with lebron,kd,harden,pg,even heard something say some bout butler he wasnt even playin this playoffs not his fault but he there they a whole diffrent team
2020-2021 Lakers are for me one of the biggest what if in the history of The NBA. Lakers were up 2-1 against Phoenix when AD goes down. If AD doesn't go down they beat Phoenix , they face a Denver team without Murray, they face a Clippers team without Kawhi. Lakers with a healthy AD against The Bucks would have been epic.
I'm rolling with The Wolves (6 games) but i won't disrespect Luka and the Mavs. Luka has played solid defense and Kyrie is experienced but the Wolves are too tough.
“Luka has played solid defense” is top ten one of the most hilarious nba comments I’ve heard in my life. The guy is literally a fat dude and never made a sniff at the all defense team… stop the 🧢
Right Anthony Edwards is the best player in this upcoming series and all the series he's been in 100 why is it disrespectful to anyone because you choose someone else is disrespectful to ask anyone to be disrespectful when they favor another player
He better than Luka how bro how this his first run they got put out twice already in the play in and against Ja and the grizzlies y’all putting him over Luka is crazy
@@Ronski1900 I put him over Luka cause he isn't a crying bitch and plays like a killer. Luka is a different type of player. He is goof but ain't no killer.
Please, ESPN get rid of Doris... my gosh, aint nothing worse than an over talking chick calling your games. It's always, "look ma no hands," commentary. It's like listening to my wife calling the game and she's the one I'm trying to get away from when I watch sports.
I've met Jefferson many times in person; he is an A-Hole! No way the Mavs beat the Wolves with an injured Luka. Keep in mind the Wolves beat the Mavs 3 to 1 in the regular series. Celtics also has there injuries on their team. Wolves will win their first championship.
Perk has never liked Luka.... Even if Mavs beats Wolves this coming up series, Perk will still say Ant is better. he just didn't have the supporting casts. I bet you if Luka is black and Ant is white, Perk would be 180⁰!!!
Let's say Luka is a little bit better on offense than Anthony Edwards. Let's also say Edwards is a lot better on defense than Luka. Doesn't that make Edwards a better overall player? They're talking a fait amount of defense in this segment, then it stops once they start discussing who's better overall. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Bro I understand y’all want an American 🇺🇸 to be the face of the League we get it loud and clear But bro Anthony Edwards 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I REPEAT ANTHONY EDWARDS IS NOT BETTER THAN LUKA BRO LUKA IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THIS SERIES TF IS YALL SMOKING STOP THE DISRESPECT
My dude they both are nice it's not about being an American it's about who can ball it's just AE can play better Defense let's just enjoy what we are about to witness

Luca is the best player in the series
@@evensdesir4057 we shall see. KD, Jokic, Murray, were supposed to be the best too ha
Wolves in 6
I don't understand how you watched the Wolves eliminate the champion favorite Nuggets and then pick against them in the following series
That's an important observation.
The first explanation would be that the Wolves are expected to have a letdown (which I think is possible, but not significant enough).
Because Denver stink
dallas in 6
Thank you Hani tv for hooking it up for the folks who don't have ESPN.
Kyrie and Luka is a big difference I think OKC was more of a challenge. Dallas are just tall and athletic
The fact that Richard jefferson has a ring and T mac doesn't is tragic
Excellent point. RJ is trash compared to T-mac
Dats what happen when u the star and others are the role players Jefferson played in more finals than tmac playoff wins smh tragic
@@SwimGod-qu2lo😂😂😂😂 sadly true Some of that is T Mac fault though but T Mac was one of the toughest players to guard-Kobe
He’s way better than Andrew Wiggins
Lebron got that ring for him
🧢 Luka is by far the best player yall getting carried away with this ant sht
Any averages 29 and he plays defense
Luka is a different breed. Ant Is coming up, but Luka is just on a different level at this point.
@@mambamentality9226 I disagre. Ant is all around better but that’s just my opinion.
Luka cries the whole game and plays NO DEFENSE. Ant does it all and his game isn’t determined by refs.
Luka the best offensive player,Ant good both sides of the ball
I love that they just assume that the finals is going to be the Celtics and Timberwolves. The NBA is just a story now. They act like it's not even a possibility for the pacers to win after they both said the Pacers couldn't beat the knicks in the last series. Come on man.

The pacers CANNOT BEAT THE CELTICS. trying make some tragedy story out of them winning against a depleted NY team is beyond delusional on your part.
@@VillainArch22 yeah we heard a lot of that last series. It’s an uphill climb for sure but to say it can’t happen is the delusional argument.
@VillainArch22 no need to be a dick. I know you're from the winningest sports city in the country but a little sportsmanship goes a long way.

Dallas has been the underdog for both series now, and they come out on top.. I’m going with Dallas 🙏👍
Ant man cuss to much when doing interviews
When people say he reminds them of Jordan n kobe I think it got to his head
Not his fault he keeps hearing it
He'll be better, give him time. U gotta know his backstory to see why he needs a lil grace... plus he only 22yrs old
AMEN
Who gives a fuck!!
Where tf has RJ been
HOME
I love perk man
So Luka not a leader he doesn’t bring up his teammates bro avg 10 ast a game Perk chill I understand that for defense the Mavs have defense too
Bro 10 assist don’t always mean something you can have 10 assist and your treating your entire team like they Miami Heat Ray Allen not saying Luka doing that but still
Watch how fast he changes his tune after game 1. Ant man is gonna be given 1000 different excuses
That's why you have to win 4, and each game can make you feel like either team is better. We learned that from the previous series. Wolves can drop the 1st 2 games and still come back to win.
@@duwyennperry1381 this isn't Denver. And they have a bench that's pretty deep. I don't see it making it past 5 games
I dont want ro hear the injured part i get it but nah we gotta hold these superstars wit accountability jus like we do with lebron,kd,harden,pg,even heard something say some bout butler he wasnt even playin this playoffs not his fault but he there they a whole diffrent team
Anthony Edwards is what Andrew Wiggins SHOULDVE been
Nope
Very true
Wiggins was a huge disappointment
💯📠 .. he just doesnt take it seriously
2020-2021 Lakers are for me one of the biggest what if in the history of The NBA. Lakers were up 2-1 against Phoenix when AD goes down. If AD doesn't go down they beat Phoenix , they face a Denver team without Murray, they face a Clippers team without Kawhi. Lakers with a healthy AD against The Bucks would have been epic.
Huh? They won the bubble ring... nothing more to talk about
Richard shut up Middleton did not play against Boston so the Bucks never got a chance to run it back.
Remember Rob Pelijka blew up the 2020 Laker team.
I'm rolling with The Wolves (6 games) but i won't disrespect Luka and the Mavs. Luka has played solid defense and Kyrie is experienced but the Wolves are too tough.
“Luka has played solid defense” is top ten one of the most hilarious nba comments I’ve heard in my life. The guy is literally a fat dude and never made a sniff at the all defense team… stop the 🧢
Big Perk just schooled old Richardson. Damn..... Lol
Big Perk made Luka to small I hope that he will regret that
luka is going to get this, top favorite player for the past years
Right Anthony Edwards is the best player in this upcoming series and all the series he's been in 100 why is it disrespectful to anyone because you choose someone else is disrespectful to ask anyone to be disrespectful when they favor another player
What in the world are the people talking about after the video?
The sun is a star big Perk. 🤨
Music to my hears lol What ears lol?? me?? checking JRich has none lol 😂
Bruh💀
I can't stand Malika attitude but dats my Oaktown Sista n she is sooo fine!! Jus try not ta b a Busta Sista
Oaktown sticks together
I don't trust Dallas defense even im a big fan of Dallas i have wolves in 5
Dallas Big Mans Athletic Asl Though Bruh
There's difference between the best player and who?
Edwards is the best player period!
ANT IS THE VEST PERSON IN THE SERIES. AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE.
He better than Luka how bro how this his first run they got put out twice already in the play in and against Ja and the grizzlies y’all putting him over Luka is crazy
😂😂😂
@@Ronski1900 I put him over Luka cause he isn't a crying bitch and plays like a killer. Luka is a different type of player. He is goof but ain't no killer.
I like Ant game but he is not better than Luka yet he doesn't get the play making part of the game yet.
They really needa get rid of Malika. She brings NOTHING to the show.
Just There 😂
Perkles
The wolves faced teams with no d or a bench give me dallas
Dallas in 6
Please, ESPN get rid of Doris... my gosh, aint nothing worse than an over talking chick calling your games. It's always, "look ma no hands," commentary. It's like listening to my wife calling the game and she's the one I'm trying to get away from when I watch sports.
She’s a gilf though

Don't tell that fool that the "sun" is a "star"...college education @ work
First things first is just simply a better show
Big Perkins can you please tell Skip Bayless to shut up please. And why he such a hater to Ant man and timberwolves?
Watch Mavs win in 6 TWolves won they chip when they beat the Nuggets.
Celtics -10 gm1 piece of 🍰 cake enjoy
Perk has never liked Luka.... Even if Mavs beats Wolves this coming up series, Perk will still say Ant is better. he just didn't have the supporting casts. I bet you if Luka is black and Ant is white, Perk would be 180⁰!!!
Wolves are fantastic!!! That said, Mavs beats Boston in 6!

They're talking a fait amount of defense in this segment, then it stops once they start discussing who's better overall. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
stop it. ant isnt close to luka on offense
CLICK BAIT.... BUT I ROK WIT BIG PERK
RJ and JJ Red. Are the worst analysts in the game 😂 they espn kids
Boston will win
Luka don't play defense like ANT
Ant fouled Murray, bent right arm. Aedin
Beat it
Bro I understand y’all want an American 🇺🇸 to be the face of the League we get it loud and clear But bro Anthony Edwards 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I REPEAT ANTHONY EDWARDS IS NOT BETTER THAN LUKA BRO LUKA IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THIS SERIES TF IS YALL SMOKING STOP THE DISRESPECT
Stop making it so obvious you are a mavs fan.
Underestimating defense bro. Time will tell though.
I believe Luca is better
My dude they both are nice it's not about being an American it's about who can ball it's just AE can play better Defense let's just enjoy what we are about to witness
Ant only been in the league 3yrs,and he a dawg on off & def Luka a great offensive player but thats it
