Haven’t done nothing yet. Let’s get 3 more. Go Mavs!
Yes but as fans we're allowed to celebrate wins.
I hope the mavs win bc it will be easier for the Celtics to win in the finals lol
Refs cheated the Wolves so Mavs win doesn’t count
@@bachtunablaming the refs are such a cop out
@@itsarnoldbruh its just a fact of what happened. mavs have been disqualified for the rest of the playoffs and no real nba fan will respect anything they do the rest of the way. sucks to be you virgin
Me predicting the Mavs to lose in 6 to the Clippers looks dumber and dumber
It does...
The clippers were/are a better team than people ever wanna give them credit for. Kawhi was unavailable (like always but still)
@@astashasta1they were better without Kawhi
Potentially 😂
Imagine still picking the Clippers to win anything in 2024
Lets hear how it was Rudy's fault and how towns has to be better. But lets not talk about how ant man came up short😂
Rudy only fault is he did not attempt a fadeaway shot today
Ty for this ❤️ people taking like he's so great. 🙄 Over it.
Ant wasn't terrible, he was tired out by Kyrie. Never underestimate that locker room material...
It's also to his credit that he went for 11 boards and 8 or 9 assists while his shot was off. I still am all-in on Dallas, but great players find other ways to be useful if their shots are off, the way Ant did.
kyrie ran him around the court into oblivion.. dude could'nt catch his breath in the 4th
Ant tried to cover ended up gassing in 4q😂🤦♂️
Ant said they didn't what to expect from the Mavs. A lot of people and teams are still sleeping on Dallas, better wake up before it's too late.
Refs cheated the Wolves so Mavs win doesn’t count
@@bachtuna how?????
They have played post trade mavs yet, it’s pretty valid
@@J4YMAN1the refs made ant tired obviously 😂
And the refs influenced gobert to get outrebounded by a rookie by 4.
Mavs fan here. This is 1 game and both coaches are going to adjust moving forward. I'm thrilled the Mavs won but Wolves are a good team and the job isn't finished.
Not a Mavs fan you are correct but I'm rooting for them. SOOOO hard. And sadly I'm a damn suns fan
@@brookeholman8761same but I’m just a bulls fan so mavs have been my pick😭😭
@brookeholman8761 Well if it helps the Suns are my backup team. I've got family in Phoenix so I root for them if the Mavs don't make it.
@@dk6173 awwe that's good to know ty! It's hard to dislike Luka he's so damn good! And back in the day Nash was a Maverick and I was obsessed with him. Couldn't dislike Dirk either.
Who would have thought that when the Big 3 got broken up that Kyrie would be the one flourishing. But he is. Him and Luka are flourishing well together. After everyone said it wouldn’t work.
And the thing is the Mavs shot badly from 3 point range.
Mmmm Yaa that’s true. PJ shot pretty poorly
@MakimasGoodBoy honestly he just hasn't been asked to take 3s out of the corner like in this game
Hope it won't happen again...😅
The Wolves are a fraud
@@nadinepapazian Let respect Mavs opponents! Let say Mavs is just a little better. It was only 1 game, chill and prepare for 3 more wins this series!...
If I'm a T-Wolves player or coach, my biggest fear isn't Luka or Kyrie, it's that Lively just keeps getting more mature and capable with every game. The way Luka avails himself of him for screens is pure savage.
Starting to remind me of a beta Nash and Amare. Only beta because Lively is a pup. He’s got the tools to be that devastating in the pnr though.
You said we would miss the playoffs
they switch up so quickly. this season has been glorious vindication for us real mavs fans
@@steviechampagne these guys watch basketball as a profession and still think the Mavs were an underdog
@@Luke-ul3xf they hate Kyrie and likely hate Luka's defense.
@@Luke-ul3xf Clever remark!! 🎉
@@Luke-ul3xf mavs should be the underdogs in this series. They are going against a higher seed that beat the reigning champs and mvp. Mavs could definitely win, but I wouldnt have said they were the favorites coming into this series
Luca time killer 😂
Kyrie time saver 😂
2 in 1 offense style
Never understood why they “wouldn’t work”🤦🏾♂️
They work where one has to take a backseat. Kyrie had to step up when Luka was hurting early in the Clippers series. They're not complimentary in the sense that they play well side by side it's more of a I'll take over then you kinda pace
The wolves made 12 more threes but still lost by 3.
It’s because of the 3s they lost. They just kept launching instead of going to the basket for easier shots
@@TheFrostyMan21easier said than done...Mavs took away the paint and Ant was too tired from defending Kyrie to drive often. Either than Ant no other Wolves player can drive anywhere as well
@@karabomafa5609 it’s game 1 they will bounce back. They weren’t sure how to game plan for this one since this is really their first time truly seeing this squad this year. Finch will come up with something for them to get more paint touches and if not experience from the mavs will win out
Isn’t it interesting that Dallas can keep a huge team like Minnesota from attacking the basket? I find that fascinating given how poorly Dallas defended at the start of the season..
@@TheFrostyMan21 I don't doubt that Ant will bounce back... But I also don't think the Mavs shot the ball at all well from 3.. So the Mavs are also going to improve in that respect. The real question is, will the Wolves starting switching and sending doubles at Luka and Kyrie? Because those two could average 30 against this drop coverage
Yes my Mavs need 3 more but we not calling a sweep 😂 Mavs in 6
MAVS IN 4
it will be a sweep, but a gentleman s
Can we just start calling the Mavs the new Lob City?
Nah they’re already more successful lol
No that's cursed name
All i can say is, whoever wins this series is winning the NBA Finals. Simple as that.
I'm not so sure. I think Celtics matchup well with Mavs. Lot of bodies to throw at Luka and Ky.
@@denizg2653 In a close game I’m taking Luka and Kyrie over Tatum and Brown. So as good as they matchup on paper when it gets down to clutch time and you need a bucket I trust the Mavs offense over the Celtics
Mavericks not beating Boston breh lol
@denizg2653 They need Porzingus back. Kornet and an old al horford don't match up well with young and active Gafford and Lively, they'll be getting lobs and offensive rebounds all day.
@@beanieknowledge9019 you need to go revisit the season series lol
1:22 I don't know, man... tbh, Dallas didn't necessarily play as great as they could have. They couldn't buy a 3 ball until they hit a few in the 4th. If they had been shooting well, like they tend to do, this could've looked more like a blowout. Mavs were better defensively, looked like they were far more prepared, and better able to close out a tight game.
Fastest, weirdest tank-rebuild cycle.
we have the best player, duo and rookie left in the playoffs. We goin all the way!!
When you have the best player in the world these things happen
They added 3 players in 7 months and that's all they needed.
@@theemotionalremix Well there's also DJJ and Exum
DJJ a good defensive wing, lob threat, and decent shooter
Exum great in regular season. Playmaking and shooting Won us at least 7 games. 50% from the 3.
@@toob_noob4381Facts. This Mavs team is pretty much entirely new. Literally 4 of their 5 best players not named Luka or Kyrie just joined this season, and even Kyrie only played 20 games with the Mavs before this season.
Mavs had the #1 defense in the NBA in the last 20 games of the season. That’s a large sample size.
Ye. Ppl still overlook this fact. The wolves might be still #1 but the mavs are right up there and they are faaaaar better offensively even with an injured Luka.
There’s one thing to remember, Wolves scored 54 points from the 3pt line alone and it still wasn’t enough
7 more wins! Lets go Mavs!!!
I expect this series to be more competitive going forward, Mavs have a 2 holes in the rotations with Maxi out and Hardaway playing for the opposing team. Unless Exum shows up or Green makes his open shots, I got Mavs in 6.
Wolves aren’t gonna peel over
I expect them to be desperate game 2 tbh.
Hopefully Mavs close them out in 6.
Mavs will be closed in 5
Mavs have been contenders since the trades, this isn’t some switch that was thrown
Nuggets fan here. Before Nuggets getting bounce from the play-off, I was looking at the teams in the West, and I felt both the Wolves and the Mavs were the most dangerous teams in the West, but I felt Dallas was both dangerous and a dark horse. I felt the Ky and Luka were the perfect pairing to Ky; as in the past Ky was most successful when paired with an uber facilitator like Lebron and now Luka. I always felt Ky was a better player than Steph if you evaluate them without their rings, and just compare their talent and capabilities objectively.
Kyrie isn’t better than Steph. Steph can lead and can be the #1 option. Kyrie can’t do those things. Kyrie works best as a #2 option. It worked in Cleveland like you mentioned, and it seems to be working here. He had his own team in Boston and he was just holding JT & JB back tbh. Kyrie is my favorite player but to say he’s better than steph is false. Steph’s playing style as the leader and #1 option are much more effective for wins. Kyrie may have a smoother game and a deeper bag, even a better defender than Steph. But he’s not all in all better than steph. Steph is considered top 10 all time by everyone and top 5 about half of people. Ky ain’t even make top 75 list.. (it was definitely a snub but that just goes to show) I will say however, season for season…Kyrie could’ve had Steph’s all star spot and it would’ve been deserved. And Kyrie being left off Olympic team is criminal
Steph's strengths outweigh Kyrie's imo.
Crazy take
Kyrie better than curry individually but in a team setting it’s curry & it’s not even close
@@brixaabrixaa3390 I'm not refuting that. It is a team game after all. Lets talk hypothetical. Say Ky's quirkiness is toned down, and switch places with Steph in those GSW glory days, do you think GSW would achieve the same or more levels of accomplishments? Say, Ky didn't his quirkiness and was mature never left Lebron, would you think they would have won more rings together?
"Ant is the next MJ" 😂
The cringiest statement on the internet in the last 30 days 😂
MJ didn't make the Finals until his 7th season. People seem to forget that part.
@dentonyoung4314 yeah, you also can't predict someone will win 6 rings based on them having a few good playoff series against mediocre to bad defenses. The Phoenix Suns aren't exactly the Bad Boy Pistons lmao.
@@dentonyoung4314did mj have 2 all star teammate and two all defensive teammate back then ???
@@dentonyoung4314 oh my god we know that, that doesn’t justify this bafoonery
Mavs are gonna win in 6 but I gotta say I expected Minnesota to take game 1… Luka sniffing the finals is a very dangerous player 😂. If they keep leaving mcdaniels on an island Luka’s dropping 35 a night, if they double and trap PJ is just gonna go off. The Kyluka gravity is insane
An offense run by Luka and Kyrie is simply unstoppable. You have to hope they have a bad game or the role players miss wide open shots.
the media will still say ANT and KAT looked "off"... no... they just met Mavs D
As a Mavs fan We shouldn't get too comfortable we still need 3 more wins.. that aside, Mavs in 6
It’s just 1 game it’s not over.
3 games now... lol
Mavs are a better team because their stars are better!
Nah this series might be over lol. Minnesota got a nearly perfect game from McDaniels, Dallas couldn’t hit a single 3, and Luka didn’t even have a good game.
Luka definitely had a GREAT game but I agree with the rest of your comment. He’s still hurting and not playing 100% (more like 90%) and pulled out an awesome game with not too many turnovers
Lmao mcdaniels is not the star.... Ant and Kat played bad so game still up for grabs if they play well
@@cdeleon3494 that's the point. Can't waste a great game from one of your role players bc your stars are playing poorly.
@@GamerHero11 im just saying the series is not over lmao... Mavs Fan above implying that the wolves winning relies on mcdaniels lmao
@@cdeleon3494 No he didn't, you misunderstood his point. He was saying they got a near perfect game from a role guy and didn't win the game. That's it.
Ant wanted Kai, and in the end game he's gassed 😅 No one on the Wolves can defend Luka and Kai.
If these games are gonna be in the mud and close in the 4th quarter Dallas will win the series in 5. Everyone sleeps on the mavs defense when they’ve been the best defense for 3 months
Hey Tucker, please don’t take this the wrong way, but I am so happy with how you changed your video format the last few months. I have been subscribed for like 5 years now, and there was a year or 2 period where I really wasn’t happy with the content, but I think you really found your groove and a strong uploading schedule! Good job!
My guy is still convinced the Timberwolves lost rather than the Mavericks won.
Still a more biased take than the youtuber who's name is literally "Slightly Biased"
I love how the fans over react to it but listen to the players they know the job ain’t done
Maxi has been shooting in practice and is getting reevaluated today… could have him back this series. That would be be big!
Doncic really finna win a ring this year
I’m shocked they’ve made it this far with the supporting cast, I’d be even more shocked if they pull this one off
Jayson Tatum's a choker meanwhile Ant has that dawg in him apparently. Never forget that at just a year older than Ant's current age, Tatum already led his team to 2 wins away from a ring.
Crazy that 3 of the 4 teams in the conference finals were projected to be play in teams 9 months ago.
It was a close game. Could go both ways really.
Wolves might need to bring Conley off the bench and start NAW just so he can guard Ky and Ant can focus more on offense. He can still guard Kyrie when they switch
If Anthony Edwards started working out with Stephen Curry, there is nothing that man couldn’t do
Missed the game so I appreciate summary videos! 👌
That’s usually the position you put yourself in when you win a game in the conference finals.
Better beware when we start hitting those wiiiide open 3s been saying it every damn series I'm a MFFL and am still unaware of how good we actually are after that trade I'm nothing but thankful and greatful and hopeful for this group they deserve the absolute most
How to vomit out an unbroken stream of verbal excrement for 10 minutes without making a single discernable point.
Mr Logically has a kind face!
Last night shows how Ant still has a ways to go. He’s great, and hampered by needing to play elite defense every possession but…. Kyrie and Luka’s ability to create is FAR more developed than Ants. It was glaringly obvious in a side by side comparison last night. And it should be. They’ve been in the league longer.
Gonna be a great series. But the wolves will struggle if they’re leaning heavily offensively on Jaden and… *checks notes * … Kyle Anderson?
I've started to dislike Luka after watching OKC-DAL series for his constant crying and arguing.. He is so good and fun to watch when he just plays the game. 4q was a masterpice.
Soft of agree but it’s just part of sports. Players sell/complain for foul calls across all of them. Hard not to when so much of the game teeters on it. Even playing pickup at your local gym there’s the same problem. Can’t imagine having a national title thrown in the mix.
The most unbelievable thing for me is that luka missed like 5 wide open 3s but drops 2 extremely contested 3s 😂😂 I did not see the 3rd
sorry man, unsubbing....i like your takea, but i hate that you do that yt sports content creator thing wherw you only have 3 minutes worth of stuff to say, so you just repeat yourself over and over to get the video to that 9 min mark.....ill come back one day.and give you another try, but i hope you won't continue doing it the way you have been
Mavs are lucky that Timberwolves beat the Nuggets, They would've have a harder time with the Nuggets or probably loss to them.
If Ant doesnt pick it up, Dallas is going to make this a short series.
Mind you this guy didnt even put dallas in the contender tier video
Still yet to see luka go nuclear like we know he can do lol
Wolves in 5. ANT isn't always going to have a bad game. Same with KAT
lol clown
Luka, Kyrie and Josh green. That’s effectively all that’s left from the team that went 5-11 last year when Kyrie arrived to “help” Doncic get over the hump. Nico Harrison, who I’ve trashed off and on this year, has done the fastest and most impressive rebuild I’ve ever seen. Any team could have acquired PJ, Gafford, Lively and Jones over the last 11 months but here they are in Dallas playing their best basketball of their careers. Maybe it’s partially luck since we thought Kuzma was a better fit but clearly could not have been. To win a playoff game shooting 6-25 from 3 is a testament to how good the defense is.
WE WERE AWFUL DEFENSIVELY LAST YEAR!!!!!! Now we might be the best defense in the NBA and the best Mavs defense since the championship team.
We shall see. To beat the Wolves and then Boston would be a remarkable accomplishment, on par with the wins in 2011-12.
We shall not forget that Dallas had a horrible terrible shooting night.. like they only shot about 4/5 threes for the whole game.??? They sucked at three and the game was really close even when Wolves were hot on the threes..
6/25 24% terrible
Ok and?
Kat scored 60+ this year and the team lost, that is the kind of player KAT is and it will come to burn the Wolves in this series. Luka doesn't feel pressure, he has been playing in championship opportunities against pros since he was 13.
Watch how different it be when WE hit 18 threes on them.
The Mavs played better in the second games of the previous series ..I see the Mavs win game two ... They have had the best defense in the playoffs and can play amazing defense .. This could be a sweep.
The Wolves shot 37% from 3 on 49 shots
The Mavs shot 50% from 3
The mavs shot 70% in the paint on the DPOY
The wolves missed their chance and they folded in the last 2 minutes of the game
Mavs in 6!
Cough 2 wins
Correct, very good math. 1 + 3 = 4
Minnesota is really really similar to the 2022 Celtics, they also have trouble with late game offence all year long if you watched the wolves you’ll understand
That’s actually a really good comparison I’ve seen their offense get stagnant late in the game that’s why I didn’t know whether they would beat the Suns but they did.
Wonder how are you gonna hate the Mavs in this video, or downplay their accomplishments, lets see
I genuinely had no idea why anyone though dallas wasn't the better team. it baffled me. this is pretty much the jazz of round one last wcf run. okc I had anxiety. this t-wolves team doesn't stand much of a chance. doncic has proven he knows how to play against gobert In a way that makes him almost a nothing on defence, and he's simply doing it again.
Now 2 wins from the Finals...😮
49 3s is just stupid - they won’t do that again. Next game is going to be extra tough
Mavs coach actually thought they should've shoot more threes
Logically speaking if the Mavs score more points than the Wolves, they will win. If they do this at least 3 times, they will move on to the finals. Logic.
The issue is Ant cannot get to the rim more
7 MORE WINS!!!
Refs were playing for the timberwolves in game 1. Hopefully the calls are more fair in game 2 but the mavs always get screwed by the refs.
If the Wolves don't figure out how to stop the pick and roll, they have no chance. They have lost with the Mavs shooting terrible, what are they gonna do when the Mavs shoot well from 3? Rudy has to be much higher in the pick and roll and wings watch out for open 3s and cuts. To stop the Mavs offense they need focus and intensity.
If they, somehow are able to stop Mavs offense, will have to figure out his own offense...
Mavis in 5 and then, the championship in 6.
Yes, thats how it works. If you win 1 game in the conf finals, you are 3 wins away from the final
If we get a Mavs vs Celtics finals, then that'll be genuinely disappointing! I don't want another boring NBA finals series.
Being tired down the stretch could be the post Denver re sea level blues.
Where all the casuals who said kyrie and luka wouldn’t work together at ? Anyone with a brain knew this team would make the conference finals after the gafford and Washington signing…mavs were only bad last year cause they had no rim protection or wing defenders now they do
I always said Kyrie was argueably the best player to put next to Luka. He can run the offense when Luka rests, can play off the ball when next to Luka. My biggest concern was on the defensive side. Kyrie is a smaller guard, and Luka is never going to be an elite one on one defender because he doesn't have that type of athleticism.
Dallas, to their credit, has put the perfect complimentary pieces next to them, which allows Luka and Kyrie to play to their strengths on defense, and because they compliment each each other so well on offense, they arent having to be the primary ball handler on every possession.
mavs are 4 wins away from losing in the playoffs
YES
everyone needs to stop saying the series is over. yall saw the nuggets series we never know whags gonna happen
The Nuggets were not an elite defense, they relied on their fire power and when it comes from an inconsistent player like Murray and inconsistent roleplayers you have what happened in that series, blow out after blow out.
Mavs, especially after tonight, can be argued to be the best defense in the league and they just beat the Wolves with rebounding and scoring in the paint while they bricked countless WIDE OPEN three point shots.
Ofc nothing is set in stone, theres too many variables like Luka and Kyrie could both play badly one game for example.
But when you're playing against 1 of the best defenses in the League the results wont be all over the place like they were with Jokić.
I dont think people realise the Nuggets have 0 allstars, 1st team all defense or all NBA players aside from Jokić.
He is the only superstar to win a chip in his first 9 years with 0 of those.
Media overhyped the Nuggets into some monstrous stacked team when it was a Jokić carry job.
@@DebasedAnon very true. the mavs do seem like a more balanced team so its such a tougher match up. that paint got tore up tonight idk how the wolves will rebound but we def will see!
I think the coach not coaching normally for the timberwolves since he was coming back from surgery played a part in this too
Okc might’ve been the only team with a chance. If we had bigger players with Chet we would’ve won in 4. Luka and Kyrie were getting cooked
anthony edwards is hurt. breaking news, herniated lumbar disc.
Celtics championship incoming!
Not so easy when you have to worry about more than one guy haha
That was just one game that was very close. Let's just wait and see. It's far too early to make any predictions.
Also 4 losses away from being sent home
Who’s gonna win the West? Wolves, Mavs or Lakers?
Mavs had a terrible 3 night and really didn’t play that great and they still stayed close all game. I mean come on 36 pts from 3 difference between the team and you lose. They don’t have an answer for Luka. And whatever they try kyrie going to answer. Dallas ceiling is way higher right now. Long series though
Where this hatred of Dallas comes from I have no idea. You are aware they won the game right? But somehow I’m watching YOUR HIGHLIGHTS and it’s just one Wolves highlight after another.
Not really what’s normally done hoss.
Townes goes 6-20 but you make a point of showing every basket he made LOL…..Maybe a little love for the defense PJ and friends played against him? Weird video. You are saying one thing BUT SHOWING ANOTHER. Do you edit this stuff or do you have a friend from Duluth who does it for you?
You can see most of the casuals in the comments. Once the wolves stop running drop coverage and start icing screens (which they will do to adjust), Luka won’t be able to get in the lane with Jaden on his back and Gafford won’t be open for a wide open alley oop. The fact that the Mavs only won by 3 against drop coverage should tell everybody what is about to happen. Wolves in 6
lol. clown, adjust in your face
Am I the only one who notice at 1:24 one of the nastiest layups
Mavs played good but it's not the best they can, wolves totally played stupid today, and it's on Finch, his strats are way off. In order to cut Mavs' corner threes, not only they play drop the whole game, they barely double Luka or Kyrie, single coverage against the two best ISO player not just now but all time? And yes PJ and Jones Jr didn't get a lot of shots, but they are not the primacy scoring options anyway they don't need to, Lively and Gafford not only they will sure get a lot of inside shots against a drop coverage, they both are experts at dunking the ball, and they did, keep dunking on people.
I'm a little bit worried the wolves might not know how to react, this is not the nuggets, nuggets are great but they only have one Murray, double him without fouling will work wonders, Mavs have two.
That’s what I was telling everybody . Mavs gonna kill that double big line up with the pick & roll. They can’t play Rudy & towns at the same time bc they too slow.
I think the issue is that I'm really not sure how you beat Luka and Kyrie on d. I think the best you can do is legit just shut down the role players and hope you can outscore them
If jmac and slo mo are hitting 3s and you still lose that is so tuff
People need to stop sleeping on mavs just because he mj son doesn’t mean they want win against him
I’m not gonna let you live down saying PJ wasn’t a good defender
