Kyrie deserves so much credit. He glued the mavs together
Very true all player rave about his leadership
Pj Washington Gafford and Lively helped out alot too
I agree. This is what Kyrie thought he was going to do back in Boston when he was traded there years ago. He’s matured and is now ready to lead.
@domsensei6069 as great as Ky has been we're not here without that trade 💯
Imagine if PJ stayed with the worst franchise (Charlotte) in the history of sports in the entire world..
Luka and the Mavs are gonna prove a lot of people wrong this year.
They’re winning it all this year!
By coming in second to the Celtics? 😎
@@TheZgraenI mean even if that did happen, yeah lol. They’ve been picked against pretty consistently every round. And so many people said that Luka and Kyrie would never be successful together before this season. I’d say they’ve already proved a lot of people wrong.
@@MaFiaMediaHD It was 50/50 against the Clips, they were favored against OKC... so what is this "every round?"
@@TheZgraen imagine if the Pacers pull off the upset
Wildes was on 🔥🔥 yes the media slobbers over Ant after a 6-24 game but JT gets killed for 36 points and 12rebounds in a win.
People are at the point for the Celtics and tatum to just win or stop wasting everyone’s time. Maybe Not fair but that’s where many people are. Ant is the new exciting kid and just beat the last champs. Ofcourse people are going to be bias towards him lol
If you watched some basketball in recent years you'd know how many times Tatum choked, he gets no pass
Unbelievably massive facts.
Lol I mean the criticism is justified if jaylen brown doesn't hit that three to save them Tatum would've been the reason they lost in clutch time bro missed 2 to 3 shots in a row to give the Celtics the lead/tie. He saved it in the second half of overtime but to act like he had a perfectly good game with no alarming actions in the game is a bit wild to think. For example that offensive rebound they got with 15 secs left all for Tatum to instantly run backwards and shoot a contested fading shot 2 to miss pretty bad when they didn't need to shoot instantly was a bad call on Tatum. Jaylen was the one who caused the turnover and also hit the clutch three right after. Just bc Tatum had 36 and 12 doesn't mean he had a perfect game with no problems therefore people have every right to criticize him.
@@panda8788Brown three tied the game didn’t win it 🙄
I’m beyond the Tatum disrespect now. He’s had 4 games in a row or 30 and 10. Ant has had back to back under 20 point games but somehow Tatum has got more criticism.
It's because of therevawful playoff hone record. You can't always trust Boston when it matters most. If Tatum is a superstar he needs to close better in the 4th. Get some defensive stops as well. If the Celtics don't get it done this year there window starts closing with the current team how it's constructed. You win 64 games no excuses now. Also pacers gagged the game away and Tatum let the game slip away invthec4th. He's not clutch sometimes when he needs to be.
Tatum playing against heat and cavs. He should score 30
Tatum needs to win the chip this year to get respect back, nobody forgets the horrible finals he had against the warriors. That earned him the choker label.
Ant is young, this whole run is unexpected. He'll get some constructive critism once it's all said and done but the real criticism will come one the 2nd or even 3rd turnaround. Tatum is in his 5th ot 6th ECF and still dissappears in 4th quarter.
@@nevermindthe90s he played great in the 4th last night
The new Michael Jordan got tired 😂😂😂 and become a defensive liability for 3 quarters 😂😂😂 what a performance 😂😂😂
Overated Nor even close to kid MJ
Were you really laughing that hard? Haha
Mike never had bad games? He wasn’t even in this position at 22. Nobody ever said he’ll be as good as Mike it’s just a play style thing
Minn has no answer for Luka. They can bully Jamal but they can't bully Luka. Main diff
Both look injured. They should try to exploit Luka's defense.
Lmao imagine Luka scoring all that only to keep pace and win by 3. Mavs fans be acting like they blew the Wolves out. 😂🤡
@@saraxiongLuka scored 33, that's his average, it was an average night for him, so wtf are you talking about acting like Luka needed to go nuclear to win?😅 And Wolves even had 12 more 3s than Mavs, that's not gonna happen again.
@@saraxiong lemme see...yall was at home...made 12 more 3s....and still lost with the mavs making 6 3s😂 🤡
@@coreyhiggins6890 lmao you act like y’all haven’t lost at home. 😂 Your two top players had to score over 60 points just to win by 3. But yeah yall cooked us. 🤣🤣🤡🤡
I'm confused about the tired theory… so is Ant just gonna be tired the whole series since they're playing every other day? Wtf is that excuse? The Mavs had one extra day of rest and Luka has injuries... Why even mention being tired? Pretty lame and discrediting
ain’t no telling what that 22 kid did after Sunday until Wed…. js
Ant should be ashamed of himself
Yeah I find that weird too. How tf does he want to get more rest than he already had? He's not playing less mins compared to the nuggets series.
They always try to find excuses for Ant when he doesn't play well.
very disrespectful to the Mavs. The media narrative around the Mavs will end when they win it all.
This is recency bias
To say Ant is better than Tatum is wild 😂
Ant just choked in game 7, so it's not recency bias.
@@penkima4923 media choked on him by slurping up after he was carried
Jep. It's crazy. People are losing their minds over him. He's great, don't get me wrong. But acting like he's already a Top 4-5 Player is nuts.
Dude was also already anointed the 'face of the league' without any notable personal or team accolades to speak of. The Gil's Arena crew may be the worst of these shows in this regard.
Dont put this on Wildes...he didnt say it hahahah
Chris doesn't need Mahomes coffee...
He should just make his own and call it Brews Hard Coffee...
Or just Brou's Brews
Brews hard is not good 😂
Thanks I'm gonna trademark and copyright it😂😂
@swelly84 Brews Hard is basically how me pronounce his name in England...
Hard also works for UK slang.
He's definitely twisted 🥴🤣😂😂
Ant is overhyped based on a few playoffs games, saying he is a better player than Tatum is like saying SGA is better than Luka, just delusional.
Well...both Jokic and SAG are, indeed, better than Luka, so...idk
@@Usagiiii12 Not this season, they weren't, but I can at least understand that people voted for Jokic.
@@philipthavenius9801 SGA is better than Luka and he literally just outplayed him in a playoff series head to head after being better than him this regular season lmao
@@DoUEvenLift He got more points than an injured player and was worse on defense, passing and rebounding...
Thank you Wildes, the Tatum disrespect is crazy and Ant gassing needs to end
No disrespect, the man choked year after year
Kyrie looked like Uncle Drew last night.
Lmao
Dallas has 2 guards that are un guardable..Nobody in the league can stop Luka or Kyrie..I like Mavs chances in any series..Also Mavs already took out #1 seed in West..lol...Not rocket science...
We just saw okc give both of them fits all series. PJ Washington is ent nuclear to win them game 2 and 3 and that was the difference
lmao Kyrie is not unguardable, maybe watch more basketball if you think that. Like the last playoff series you mentioned when both got outplayed by Shai
The Celtics beat them twice in regular season.
My God Ant is now Jordan Kobe Lebron 😂
Ant has quickly become one of my favorite players this season, but the way the media treats him vs Tatum is just nasty. Tatum is expected to go 16-0 in route to FMVP
He is flop racist media hyoe
Nah Wildes is right, the Ant glaze is crazy right now. Let dude put in some work.
Celtics are 9-2 in the playoffs and the way the media talks about them you’d think they’ve been in 2 7 game series
It's madness. They speak about Boston as if they were swept by Miami in the first round....
I mean they haven’t played anyone as well they kinda should be
Its the eastern conference
The tatum disrespect is getting wild. He's been an elite 2 way player for years and they talk like he's barely top 10
Shows how stupid most nba fans are
Tatum would have got killed for ants game..
The media sucks
Said the same thing as soon as the stats came up at the end of the game, it’s wild 🤦🏽♂️
Tatum has a lengthy 5 year sample size of being a bad clutch player and turnover machine.. he has all the skills in the world but always come up short when it matters most
@@codystrom8708you know ball
@@codystrom8708Tatum has the record for most points dropped in game 7. This narrative is so braindead. You act like he can’t be clutch then you ignore every clutch performance he has
Tatums been in the league 7 years
Now Nick is very loud about his pick, but in the denver series, he was quiet 😂
He's a luka fan what did you expect lol
It's easier to be smart about games that you watch.
because it didn’t matter. he was picking the mavs to beat either team
Its ok you always have the broncos
Well, yeah, who do you know gets louder when they're wrong? It's like criticism for breathing, lol.
And over Tatum is wild, thank you Wildes.
How is wildes the only one on here with common sense is WILD.
Es
@@JuliusSpin you right
Not wild…it’s Wildes…lol
@@pauly1124 love Wildes he has come to his senses regarding Mavs
Tatum criticism is hilarious at this point
nick can't wait to pick against the celtics without KP, but then KP will return
@@curtislinden9297 really like Nick but it seems he’s had a bit of a vendetta against the Celtics for a grip now
@@danielgarde7981he hates all Boston area teams. He hated the patriots also
Crazy thing is Luka was -9 while shooting the same splits as Tatum while Tatum +20 😂😂😂 they just hating at this point.
Tell him not to choke year after year lmfao
There is zero evidence Ant is better than Tatum
The hate on Tatum is historical
One is lightskin and the other pure black American😂😂
@@NoooTheWall32 He needs to win a title to silence critics. Celtics have been to a million ECF and the one time they broke through and made the finals Tatum wet the bed
who cares... they both fight for nr. 5
@@persistentlypathetic6820 doesn’t matter. You can’t call Ant better than Tatum because of 10 games in the playoffs when their performances have been very close to each other. Every other player who has had past success gets to use that as proof on why they are a top player. Tatum is the only one that isn’t allowed to use it
I was at that Game 5 vs Heat in the Finals!!! One of the BEST times I've EVER had in my life!
Cap 🧢 🤣🤣🤣
They are arguing about Ant and Tatum now? Delusional. What's with the disrespect and ignoring accolades.
Accolades? You mean choking and no championship while being on a top 3 team for years?
@@pavlegrebenarevic382
If that's how you're judging Tatum, it better be the same for Luka....
@@StuTheDon17when has Luka ever had nearly as good of a roster as Tatum?
@@StuTheDon17Luka has never been favored in the playoffs. He knocks off 1 seeds. Tatum loses to 8 seeds. They ain’t in the same stratosphere
The tatum disrespect is wild
Tatum stunk it up in the finals. People still hood that against him
as it should be, he chokes a lot in crunch time
Jayson Tatum is better than Anthony Edwards, how do these casuals get jobs?????? Tatum been doing this, Edwards is glazed 6/24 game 7 and still glazed.
How come a knowledgeable smart guy like you don't have a show? You can even have your own podcast or UA-cam show! How come you're not running a show??
Jayson Tatum is counterfeit.
Both B Tier
Edwards>Tatum
Doncic better than both
I think the hating on Jayson Tatum during these playoffs and the obvious double standards when compared to other stars ala Luka and Ant has made me a big fan of Tatum
There's a double standard for Ant. Not for Luka
@@connor_phillipz5689 No, Luka has the same double standard.
Maybe ant.But not Luka tho
Tatum has been to 6 ECF 6 in 8 years yes he is going to get overly criticized compared to ant and Luka.
@@rickeyjones729 which is dumb because apparently being a first/second round exit is better. Make it make sense bro
Yeah I don’t think Ant was tired from the series before I think he was tired because Kyrie drove on him like 30 effing times in the first half 😂
Wildes is always the voice of reason and logic! He’s right on Ant v Tatum
Thank you wildes .
It feels like yesterday, Al Horford was in the playoffs with Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver, and Jeff Teague. He deserves a ring and I hope he gets one, he has been so close so many times.
Nick with the “C’mon, guys, this is bad television.” 😂😂😂
Nick "The Wrong" Wright
Tatum got murdered for 36/12, imagine if he put up ant stats 😂😂
Tatum just has to play well in the Finals. Just play way better than he did in ‘22 against the Warriors. Then the hate will go down a tiny bit.
Kyrie came out blazing hot last night. Luka's second half was masterful. They really are the best duo.
I'm with Wildes. Ant has not proven that he's better than Tatum.
He’s played better this postseason for sure
@nolimit_tdot So far this playoffs, Tatum is 25 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block. Ant is 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block. That's pretty even. You can say Ant has had harder competition or you can say Tatum has not had to be at his best. Ant is getting so overhyped this playoffs. Tatum is far from a perfect player, but he's better than Ant to this point.
@@chrisclark2747 look at shooting percentage tatum shooting 44% and 26% from 3 while ant is at 50% and 40% from 3
@nolimit_tdot Yeah, that's fine. Even if you want to say Ant has been better/more efficient in these playoffs, I think it's still too soon to say that he's better than Tatum. Tatum is fully proven at the level he's at. Ant is still proving it. Edwards has more potential, a higher ceiling, and maybe he proves it the rest of the way in these playoffs, but we're getting ahead of ourselves anointing him already.
He’s no Jordan. I was tired, please.
Ant is overrated
Fact
I'm a mavs fan but nah he's legit
@@Charles-3900nobody said he wasn't legit. You can be legit and overrated at the same time
"Denver's back in let's gooo" LMFAO Wildes i love you 😭🤣
Twitter has made is so popular to find a way to hate on Tatum. It’s blinding ppl on how good he actually is
The national media should be ashamed how the covered Boston and Tatum this playoffs. Very toxic
ANT having too many off games and his team keeps winning or keeping it close. Let’s maybe slow down on the expectations on a 22 year old year in his first long playoff run
The media have to build them up so that they have someone to tear down later
Many come here to get mad and vent one way or another. Balanced people are a minority here.
These guys said with a straight face that Ant is better than Tatum lmaoooo Broussard is definitely a victim of recency bias. Also Nick saying he cant wait to pick the 50 win mavs over the Celtics is kinda wild
Why don't they say anything bad for "the face of the NBA"
Nick you wrong about that being bad television - whenever Wildes drops the tiger on you, that is great television.
Antman over Tatum is so unfair lmao
JB over Tatum and Ant
Brou sayin' "Don't go down that road." to Wildes against Nick 🤣
15:08 Denver’s back in?! let’s gooooooo.
So tired of Nick Wright’s agenda. Kyrie has more spectacular seasons than Steph? Okay bud
Ant has had a very good playoff run so far but i can't put him over Tatum individually. Its close though
I would say it’s not close right now, but Tatum more or less peaked and Ant still has a lot of upside.
@@urikamoment Not sure i would say Tatum has peaked. He has higher levels he can reach. Become more efficient, become a better defender, more moves, etc...
Wildes is the only one with sense they are disrespecting Tatum
Ant looks gassed. The 7 game series took something out of him. Hope I'm wrong.
All the teams remaining built their star players through the draft except Pacers who still drafted Turner. Bucks drafting Giannis Even Nuggets and Warriors stars through the draft and OKC of the past. Small market or big market you can build a championship team. Those unsuccessful organizations don't know what they're doing
Ant is not better than tatum
yes he is
Luka, Ant and Tatum all had struggles this post season.
Boston had a .767 winning percentage against the West this year, which is almost 40% of the schedule. They still would have had the best record.
No they wouldn't have had
@@JoelGarcia-lu3tw - Prove it.
@@JoelGarcia-lu3tw .700+ better then .695 believe it or not
true. I still doubt they have enough to win in playoffs though.
Lmao Boston was 2-4 against the top west teams. Quit acting like all yall played in the west was the top teams. 😂 when you play the scrubs of the west, your percentage looks nice. Let’s keep it real. They were 2-4 against the top west teams. 😂 Selective stats 😂😂
I loved the music from 4:55 to 5:15, I thought that was a very professional touch
This is Celtics hater central
the whole media is anti Celitcs
Whole of Media. Tatums been to 6 con finals ant has won 2 series😂😂😂😂
And yet no title he choke last year in the ECF and 2022@@ultimategamer8330
It's world wide. Crazy
It’s more that no one respects the East. I mean you gotta admit it, also Tatum having a stacked team his whole career, it’s crazy how easy people have been on him.
“I wasn’t even basing this on stats” - Nick Wright on why he hates Tatum. We know buddy, we know.
On today's episode of Everbody hates Celtics.. Nick wants to use stats to prove Ant vs. Tatum n then dismisses them cause their in Tatums favor. Sponsored by Klutch sports
Nick called Ant shooting 6/24 in game 7 a masterpiece win for Ant, so he kinda has to have Ant above Tatum.
The stats aren't in Tatum favor what are you talking about?
Not even a Boston fan but the way I’ve seen some media members try to invalidate their entire year makes me root for them. Boston is deeper than Minnesota and Dallas which has been considered their strengths throughout these playoffs. Jaylen B has been just as if not more consistent these playoffs than Kyrie and Kat. Tatum I admit may be a question mark but have we forgotten Tatum’s playoff moments over the past few years. He lost his last to playoff series due to injury by doing too much on offense. Maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt till Tatum fails to get them a Win they need.
WILDES GET OUT THAT ENVELOPE AND PICK DALLAS ALREADY!
The media is making Ant Man unlikable by how they praise him and then gives him a pass smh
Brou just tried to steal another Nick Wright take 😂 Nick said Kyrie might be saving himself for later rounds a week or 2 ago and brou disregarded it!!!
Kyrie has been playing like a wise sage out there lately. Watching him and Luka right now is like basketball artistry.
dont let nicks praise of luka distract you from the fact that he had more criticism for tatum who had 36/12/4/3 in a win than anthony edwards who had 19/11/8/2 in a loss
I think the wolves lost the game on that terrible turnover where I think McDaniels went under the basket and threw it away led to a fast break 3 and that cost them the game
I lost it when he did that. Completely wiped away the good will he built up by playing amazing the entire game up until that point
Love all three of these guys!
Ant cannot chase kyhree around all night. Ant weigh 230 lbs. no no no.
Nick beating the table every time before the show starts🔥🥁
Luka’s knee has been bleeding every game for a month. Was this the first game they watched?
He probably needs an operation after he wins the finals. Injuries can be weird, to where you can still play but not healthy.
I think this is Luka last season...maybe he can't play anymore
I’m with wildes on the ant thing
Ant is not better than Tatum. Luka is in a class of his own among the remaining players but to say Ant is also a level above Tatum is crazy. To see who’s at what level I think you just gotta look at how they’re criticized. Ant isn’t talked about when he has a bad game and we talk about him in this great level when he plays a very good game. Tatum on the other hand gets butchered every mediocre game he has and even when he has a great game, we try to pick flaws from his performance. That says it all.
Watching the media favor shift game by game is ridiculous. No one picked the Mavs 3 days ago. Come on man.
Nick picked them to reach the finals during 2nd round to make the finals.I guess maybe you don't watch the show all the time or you missed it.
Man it’s almost like peoples opinions change when they gain new evidence
17:10 “Is it only seven?” LMAO
lol, nick acting like dallas won by 30
Nick and luka better hope that kyrie turns up every night to win this series and I hate to say it but he won’t kyrie is super hot or super cold that as always been a problem that’s why he bounces round the league 🙏🏽😁
If the 3pt shooting was even close to equivalent they would have. Minnesota outscored them by 36 points from 3 and still lost.
@@nikkyblammon6814Kyrie can do it averaged 30 in the finals
@@connor_phillipz5689well look at the lack of adjustments by the wolves
Doesn't matter a win is a win
Every time i heard him say your nuggets, I couldn't not laugh
Gosh, Nick is so annoying that I'm starting to root for the Wolves in this series 😂😂😂😂
You don’t know the half of it. Imagine being an Eagles fan. This man was single-handedly the reason I was rooting for the 9ers in the Super Bowl.
Imagine having talking heads influence your pick THAT much.
Nobody asked
@@AUA-camUser1how'd that work out???🤣🤣🤣
Nick is spot on, the most impressive part of Irvings recent perfomances is his timing offensively, he playing great defense and when he notices his team struggling/when Luka is out, he goes to work and gets buckets, either to stop a run, or to galvanize his teammates. He has been great.
Note to myself: Don't watch this show after a Mavs W or you'll find yourself starting to root against them. I'm actually pulling for them, but the farther they go the more unbearable Nick will get.
Honestly this is one of the very few unbiased shows in sports media
Nick knew EXACTLY what he was doing naming denver🤣
I love when they get real!!! Great clip! This is great sports conversation!!!
My boy Josh deserves a raise lol. Wilds snapped his fingers and J man said "kachow" lmaooo
Anthony Edwards is not better than Jayson Tatum. Before this postseason, he never even gotten past the 1st round of the playoffs.
Tatum led the Celtics to the conference finals as a rookie and already played in the Finals beating KD, Giannis, and Jimmy Butler along the way.
Lmao yet he has the same amount of rings as Ant. 😂
Brou: "Okay, see..." -- Me hears: "OKC..."
Dallas would match up horribly with Denver. Dallas may or may not win this series, but they got the better matchup for them.
You’re smoking if you think this Dallas team would beat the nuggets. Wolves matched up perfect w nuggets
Boston in 4 then Boston in 5🫡
Cap ..Pacers in 7 the mavs in 6
@@Charles-3900 👀
They're seriously even considering the possibility that Ant is better than JT?
Just because he's had the better playoff run doesn't mean he's the better player. If that were true then Jalen Brunson would be the best player in the league right now
Nick wright is not a closeted Boston sports hater. He openly hates our teams and city. Shoutout wildes for pointing out this nonsense and I can’t wait for Boston to obviously win the championship and see Nick squeak 🐁 more.

thanks wildes for calling them out on this tatum hate
Truth be told as a casual I like both teams and would love to see either Ant or Luka get their first ring. Just as long as it’s against the Celtics in the finals so that the delusional Tatum hype can die
Drinking game: Take a sip when Broussard says "Obviously", enjoy the end segments with a massive buzz.
I dont know one person that thinks Boston is a juggernaut
They very good team borderline great and if you thing otherwise, you are hating
they are trash, always chokes in crunch time
