@@RafaelSang-tq8ur so turns out they’re not even the best offensive backcourt in today’s nba. Cause good offense always beats good defense. But that’s just me
Honestly I’m a Celtics fan and when J Kidd called that timeout I was so confused for a split second I thought it was Joe who called that timeout. Made no sense to call a timeout at that point.
Jayson Tatum was hit on his arms for both of his dunks and the refs did nothing 😂 Derrick White intentionally fouled someone right in front of the ref and he didn't call it 😂😂😂😂
@@YouCanCallMeReTro it wasn’t even the last foul that was the bad call. It was the 3 fouls on Luka before that, that were awful. Mavs didn’t help themselves in game 3, but when they came back the refs had to get involved and take complete control of that game so Boston could get it done. Lots of things the Mavs did wrong, but the refs single handedly sold that game. The only way you could say different is if you didn’t watch or if you’re a Boston fan. Refs sold that one.
I haven’t watched Luka much. Ive been impressed overall. But, wow, he can be an unlikeable whiner, and there’s an issue w fitness. I also think he’s done that Lebron thing in which he realizes after two games his team isn’t as good, and he has somewhat given up in his heart.
Lukas foul on Pritchard was also just in retaliation for Pritchard coming into the game fresh and defended Luka (either poking the ball away or getting Luka to cry foul) that passed him off so he gets up in Pritchards grill just to foul him 💀
Nah if you believed Dallas had a chance this game your definitely not paying attention. It was clear to see they were outmatched after game 2. Their defense as a team is atrocious and on the offensive end they are being forced into there worst shots. Luka cost them this game when they had a chance
I need somebody to do an entire montage on all the media critics and casuals who not only said Mavs would win, but doubted that they would even be here throughout the regular season and playoffs. They were finding every reason under the sun to discredit Boston.
Professional athletes deserve professional analysts. This isn't the Harlem Globe trotters. People depend on numbers and stats for money lines. These people lose money on their bets. They get upset over money and attack players personally. If it's just entertainment. Why talk about who's the "biggest bust" "who needs to lose weight" etc.
@@MeBihhhh If it was the Knicks that made it to the Finals to face Dallas, the media would’ve picked them no matter how gimpy they were and no matter what narrative they were pushing.
@@SpikeShooter92 they were literally sayin the west was better all yr including the playoffs when Knicks were still in it I get it, you’re weirdly obsessed with the Knicks but the media has your weird obsession with the western conference
I think what you are actually trying to say is Luka is going to have to learn to actually play defense. He's an amazing scorer but his defense is atrocious. Defense always wins championships.
I don’t understand how Gafford can have the shortest person on the court guarding him, and he just runs from the ball… Brother, just post up and at least TRY!
Not that kind of player and not that kind of league. They should post the mismatch 9 times out of ten but sometimes in this league they’d rather kick it out and jack up contested threes and then flop around.
Proud of my Mavs. Boston just a better team someone has to lose. The only thing that bother me is how nobody mentioned how Jason Kidd is getting out coached by Joe.
Time to give credit where credit is due. This has been one of the most competitive seasons in NBA history and BOS has been the best team ALL year long. Because of their history and seemingly inconsistency, media has put many teams over them and looked past them. But if you’re 100 objective, they’re the best team. This as a Lakers fan.
I'M GLAD LUKA'S ON THIS STAGE SO THE WORLD CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF PLAYER HE REALLY IS.. HE'S A JOCK THAT GETS TO SHOOT UNTIL HE FINDS HIS SHOT AND IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON DEFENSE.. LUKA SHOT 27 TIMES AND SCORED ONLY 27 POINTS IS WILD.. LUKA'S ALSO IS ON THE NBA TOP 75 BEST AND NOT KYRIE IRVING 5 YRS. INTO HIS CAREER IS WILD.. LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? WHAT WE DOING? EVERYBODY IS SAYING NOW ABOUT LUKA WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS WHEN THE MAVS. HAD BRUSON AND POZINGIS.. LUKA'S PLAY IS THE PROBLEM.. THIS IS NOT THE EURO LEAGUE MY FRIEND.. HE'S NOT LARRY BIRD EITHER STOP IT.. HE THE WHITE JAMES HARDEN..
Buy stock in Luka Doncic? Does he get skinnier over time? Luka is not winning jack in 2 years. OKC and Minnesota will have matured by then perhaps even New Orleans. Dallas will take a massive step backwards next season similar to LA after reaching the WCF. They got a bunch of role players other teams threw away and it fit for a minute but it won’t be sustainable because those role players are one dimensional. They are not that different than Phoenix if Phoenix played better defense. If Kyrie even takes a tiny step backwards, they will be in the lottery out West.
After tomorrow night that will be 6 straight games including the regular season that the Celtics pissed on the Mavs. And that's with the socalled best duo in basketball Luka and Kyrie playing in all 6 😂
@@AlexWin22 you're right, most definitely. I get it, people got their opinions, but the media is a bunch of people that don't know what they talking about when it comes to basketball or any sport for that matter, and they really disrespect these athletes 💯
If the Celtics sweep this will go down as the mostly dominant playoff team and great team in general since the 2017 warriors no if and or buts about it
I don’t believe that most of these commentators actually believed Dallas would win this series. Trying to get more eyes on the finals. Boston is too good!
Dude Boston did not look that impressive during their two rounds prior to this. But Bston fooled everyone because they made it seem like it was luck and they weren't being tested. I think they were playing down to competition. Plus the analysts were worried about Porzingas being out. Those were reasonable concerns. And although Boston has managed to hang on they have given up a lot of big leads
@@matthewgabbard6415 They only lost 2 games and did it almost all without KP. If you didn’t think they looked impressive then you’re letting media bias influence you
What’s crazy is Hardaway Jr. avg 14ppg this season. I think he should’ve gotten more playing time throughout but he was cold coming in. You can’t not play someone for weeks and just throw them in there
I completely agree with you guys on this. As you said, " This is a learning experience for the Mavs". Something to win, it`s not only about skills, it`s also about leadership. Good leader makes good choices at the right time.

Jason Kidd called a timeout to stop his own team's 20-2 run in the 4th quarter of a NBA Finals game.
Let’s start there!
i was looking for this comment!
Honestly I’m a Celtics fan and when J Kidd called that timeout I was so confused for a split second I thought it was Joe who called that timeout. Made no sense to call a timeout at that point.
Terrible call
@@corydora7796 I was yelling at Joe to call a t/o and I was hella confused when Jason Kidd did it for us 🤣
I luv the backpedaling by all these "experts"!!😂😂😂
Babygirl andrea wanted to laugh so bad when Stephen A was cooking Tim hardaway jr at 9:45 😭😭
1:08 As a Dallas resident, I felt it. That was an insult. AT HOME!
The amount of favorable fouls Luka gets for just bumping into somebody is absurd, but he always complains that he doesn't get enough 😂😂
Jayson Tatum was hit on his arms for both of his dunks and the refs did nothing 😂 Derrick White intentionally fouled someone right in front of the ref and he didn't call it 😂😂😂😂
They really tried not to foul him out but he forced their hand.
Celtics always fouls, its just refs dont want to call it💀💀
@@BostonBori92 big facts 💯
@@YouCanCallMeReTro it wasn’t even the last foul that was the bad call. It was the 3 fouls on Luka before that, that were awful. Mavs didn’t help themselves in game 3, but when they came back the refs had to get involved and take complete control of that game so Boston could get it done. Lots of things the Mavs did wrong, but the refs single handedly sold that game. The only way you could say different is if you didn’t watch or if you’re a Boston fan. Refs sold that one.
What happened to "Mavs in 5???" 😂
I know right hahaha
Mavs in 7😂
Celtics silenced their critics now they either accepted reality or denying reality. 😂
Stephen A Smith is one of the biggest casuals in the world and bros talking bout "when you know the game" bro YOU don't even know the game foh

Mavs has two of the best players, but celtics got the better team
I haven’t watched Luka much. Ive been impressed overall. But, wow, he can be an unlikeable whiner, and there’s an issue w fitness. I also think he’s done that Lebron thing in which he realizes after two games his team isn’t as good, and he has somewhat given up in his heart.
Lukas foul on Pritchard was also just in retaliation for Pritchard coming into the game fresh and defended Luka (either poking the ball away or getting Luka to cry foul) that passed him off so he gets up in Pritchards grill just to foul him 💀
The East wasn’t weak. Boston is just that good

Nah if you believed Dallas had a chance this game your definitely not paying attention. It was clear to see they were outmatched after game 2. Their defense as a team is atrocious and on the offensive end they are being forced into there worst shots. Luka cost them this game when they had a chance
I want Boston to sweep. 80-20

Stephen A on Tim Hardaway Jr.😂😂
I have. A feeling when everything is set & done Luka will be looked at like a KD or a Carmelo Anthony
I need somebody to do an entire montage on all the media critics and casuals who not only said Mavs would win, but doubted that they would even be here throughout the regular season and playoffs. They were finding every reason under the sun to discredit Boston.
Lol why you need someone to do that. What does it do for you

Professional athletes deserve professional analysts. This isn't the Harlem Globe trotters. People depend on numbers and stats for money lines. These people lose money on their bets. They get upset over money and attack players personally. If it's just entertainment. Why talk about who's the "biggest bust" "who needs to lose weight" etc.

I get it, you’re weirdly obsessed with the Knicks but the media has your weird obsession with the western conference
Only watching these ESPN clips became i cant wait until the First Things First clips come on
I think what you are actually trying to say is Luka is going to have to learn to actually play defense. He's an amazing scorer but his defense is atrocious. Defense always wins championships.
The wardrobe budget for First Take must be ridiculously high. 😁
I don’t understand how Gafford can have the shortest person on the court guarding him, and he just runs from the ball… Brother, just post up and at least TRY!
Not that kind of player and not that kind of league. They should post the mismatch 9 times out of ten but sometimes in this league they’d rather kick it out and jack up contested threes and then flop around.
I want to see a prediction count above the talkers. Show their stats too and hold them responsible.

Time to give credit where credit is due. This has been one of the most competitive seasons in NBA history and BOS has been the best team ALL year long. Because of their history and seemingly inconsistency, media has put many teams over them and looked past them. But if you’re 100 objective, they’re the best team. This as a Lakers fan.
Respect, from one elite franchise to another 🥂

I'M GLAD LUKA'S ON THIS STAGE SO THE WORLD CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF PLAYER HE REALLY IS.. HE'S A JOCK THAT GETS TO SHOOT UNTIL HE FINDS HIS SHOT AND IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON DEFENSE.. LUKA SHOT 27 TIMES AND SCORED ONLY 27 POINTS IS WILD.. LUKA'S ALSO IS ON THE NBA TOP 75 BEST AND NOT KYRIE IRVING 5 YRS. INTO HIS CAREER IS WILD.. LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? WHAT WE DOING? EVERYBODY IS SAYING NOW ABOUT LUKA WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS WHEN THE MAVS. HAD BRUSON AND POZINGIS.. LUKA'S PLAY IS THE PROBLEM.. THIS IS NOT THE EURO LEAGUE MY FRIEND.. HE'S NOT LARRY BIRD EITHER STOP IT.. HE THE WHITE JAMES HARDEN..
Buy stock in Luka Doncic? Does he get skinnier over time? Luka is not winning jack in 2 years. OKC and Minnesota will have matured by then perhaps even New Orleans. Dallas will take a massive step backwards next season similar to LA after reaching the WCF. They got a bunch of role players other teams threw away and it fit for a minute but it won’t be sustainable because those role players are one dimensional. They are not that different than Phoenix if Phoenix played better defense. If Kyrie even takes a tiny step backwards, they will be in the lottery out West.
After tomorrow night that will be 6 straight games including the regular season that the Celtics pissed on the Mavs. And that's with the socalled best duo in basketball Luka and Kyrie playing in all 6 😂
Shut up Stephen A

If the Celtics sweep this will go down as the mostly dominant playoff team and great team in general since the 2017 warriors no if and or buts about it
With as much he pushes off on defenders of the dribble he should’ve gotten six fouls earlier.

I don’t believe that most of these commentators actually believed Dallas would win this series. Trying to get more eyes on the finals. Boston is too good!
Of course, its what money says😂😂 you will be baited
I agree. You need something to argue about. Entertainment
The switch ups from ESPN is insane. They all underrated Boston for weeks with nonstop scrutiny. Feels good to be vindicated
Dude Boston did not look that impressive during their two rounds prior to this. But Bston fooled everyone because they made it seem like it was luck and they weren't being tested. I think they were playing down to competition. Plus the analysts were worried about Porzingas being out. Those were reasonable concerns. And although Boston has managed to hang on they have given up a lot of big leads
@@matthewgabbard6415 They only lost 2 games and did it almost all without KP. If you didn’t think they looked impressive then you’re letting media bias influence you

What’s crazy is Hardaway Jr. avg 14ppg this season. I think he should’ve gotten more playing time throughout but he was cold coming in. You can’t not play someone for weeks and just throw them in there
