Lively playing out of his mind in the playoffs mark my words, we gotta do it for his Late mom who passed away yesterday
While I do agree, it's fine if his mind isn't on it. That's the mom. I would nosedive into depression if that happens
@@jjcometa9333factssssss
Would be a big honour for him!
He sure is living up to it so far sir
@@huntersims1205 hell yeah
The best thing about the Mavs is that their two best players aren’t playoff chokers. Kyrie and Luka statistically can hold their own and then some.
Do you think the Clippers will be able to Lock them up ?
@@HoopsFinityGreat question, and and I think there's a second part to it: while they're burning all that mental and physical energy trying to lock down the most unstoppable duo in the league, plus the lob/dunk fest of the Mavs, how much energy are the Clips going to have to get much done on offense for a 7 game series?
@@Mark-db1okgood call. Clips are playing great defense and have held Luka to bad shooting and they’re gassed on offense.
Been watching the mavs since 2007 and this is the scariest team ive seen
Old as shit
I’m from Florida. And I fucking love the Dallas Maverick’s
And now we get playoff Luka and that's an entirely different beast I think it's going to be either Mavs or Nuggets
If the NBA had better leadership, they wouldn't allow the media to maintain such an objectively bad take on one of its biggest stars. They should be promoting him.
@adamsilver @nba @espn @wnba lol gotta spread the word…
Watching this after Dallas advanced to the second round, and seeing every team on Perking’s list eliminated! Feels good to be a Mavs fan 💙
SGA for MVP is basically racism at this point… SGA is great… having a great season. But Luka better and more valuable meaning MVP.
Luka can't defend as a result his plus minus sucks compared to him.
@@rep227 well you clearly don’t watch Luka and are just repeating asinine things that Stephanie A. Smith says… The best play of the year is Luka playing defense… Take your trash takes and I hope SGA last long enough in these playoffs to let Luka drop 50 directly on SGA’s “defense”…
@@jmaxwell5314 Luka has the lowest plus minus change when he is off the court among the stars, like James Harden.
@@rep227 “+/-“… hmmm you picking MVP off plus/minus… i knew you were a GD 🤡… So the guy playing with different dudes every night vs the guy playing with dudes for years… Is penalized for dragging his subpar team into the 5th spot? Get tha F outa here with your St F’in nonsense clown boi…
@@rep227 🤡
I placed a bet or two on the Mavs winning it all
May the horse be with you
I'm a mavs fan this year, but winning it all is bold... I respect it
Go place a third!
i will pray for the mavs and your parlay
i respect that, lets pray on the mavs cuz i bet 100
Man that Exum shot hit different that “GOT IT!!!” You can hear the raw emotion
Top 10 buzzer beater this season ?
Imagine how different the ratings would look if Brother Irving hadnt been injured. May the Lord protect the Mavs. Show the league/haters your Number 1.
Imagine if we're as healthy as the thunder. The thunder who has high draft picks albeit young. Glorified grizzlies when Ja and them were winning all these games. FOh. Sick of that narrative
The lord will provide them with success 🙏🏿
Been a Dallas fan a long time haven't been this exciting for them since dirk ,nash ,Finley and vanaxle
I’m here for the Grant Williams shade 😂😂😂
Right now Luka Doncic is the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER in Basketball on earth!!! Mavs the team to beat.
Nuggets vs Mavs western conference Finals
And who do you have winning that series ? 🤔

I've been saying this for a while. In team building, the absolute hardest thing to accomplish is to get a pair of superstars. You usually have to draft them or have a slew of first round picks & some young talent to trade. Signing one in free agency, especially if you aren't in a big market city, is extremely hard. The Mavs drafted Luka, and they "bought low" on a troubled superstar in Kyrie. If it wasn't a gamble, they wouldn't have gotten him for ONE first round pick, Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney Smith, and a pair of seconds. Just look what Utah got for Gobert & Mitchell. When you have your two stars, you then have to ask yourself what are their weaknesses? I would say Kyrie's weaknesses are lack of size and weaker defense. I would say Luka's main weakness is his lackluster defense, not being "athletic," and has to be ball dominant. What is the overall team's weak point after that? Rebounding & Rim Defense. Now go out & get players to compliment those weaknesses. They drafted Lively & traded for Gafford. Both players have size, atletism,and defense and thrive catching lobs from your two stars. They can grab boards & defend the rim. Biggest team need is fixed. What kind of players compliment Luka & Kyrie best? 3&D athletic forwards. They went out & signed Derrick Jones Jr & traded for PJ Washington. Both are athletic forwards, versatile enough to gaurd multiple positions, and good enough 3pt shooting to demand attention when they stretch the floor. They also signed Exum is another 3 & D guard with ball-handling abilities. When all these guys start clicking, with solid role players like Tim Hardaway Jr, Josh Green, Maxi Kleber, & Jaden Hardy, the Mavs are going to be tough for a lot of teams to beat. In my opinion they are one piece away from being feared title contenders. They need a wing player like OG Anunoby, Herb Jones, Mikal Bridges, Keegan Murray, etc who excel at defense would fit perfectly as the team's third scoring option.
They’re a Deni avdijah away from going on a run
Great analysis. 👍🏼 Yep Nico has quietly done some awesome GM'ing
Maybe Doncic is not MVP, but for sure is the best player in NBA.
no ways this channel is this underrated
Appreciate it my man!
Man, Lively is a rookie? Damn
Even I forgot at one point
Yeah he's basically a kid! Not even 21 yet.
Its pretty obvious think abt it, they were a conference finals team that CHOOSE to miss the better to add depth. Since that conference finals they added kyrie, lively, gafford, etc
3:33 😂RIP Brook’s ankles
Let’s be real, the Luka/Kyrie experiment was not really working up until the Mavs acquired Gafford and Washington. Anyone who tells you differently hasn’t been watching mavs games. Mavs fans are excited because finally, after two years, this team has finally figured it out over the past twenty or so games.
U do know kylie missed 20 games b4 that trade right
@@brookemonroe618 literally what i was thinking
Kyrie was just the first piece. How can any team run without a solid front of big men? It was a plan and a process orchestrated by Nico Harrison. You can’t just go pick up 4 good players randomly. Good things take time especially when you’re putting a well rounded nba team together. The plan worked and is working even with so many injuries
I can tell you don’t watch the games
@@brookemonroe618 Are you saying Kyrie and Luka were fitting together well prior to Kyrie’s injury? I would like to hear you try to justify that argument given that we were in the lower half of the western conference prior to the trades and Kyrie’s return. If you can’t justify it then my initial comment stands. We didn’t even make the playoffs with Kyrie last year!
nico is soo underated.. moving mountains with his bare hands
I never thought Luka and Kyrie would work out. I was WRONG.
This is exactly why I say the mavericks have the most well rounded complete team
Luka Kyrie Exum PJ and Gafford is a very dangerous 5 to face in a forth quarter.
and swap exum for lively. 🤯
@@mybeautifuldarktwistedfagotree No that would be 2 center they need to play 24 mins each Gafford and Lively, Klever is optional he could shoot 3 too
I thought Irving was an odd choice. Wasnt sure it was gonna work. Clearly, i was wrong. Objectively, they're the best duo in the NBA right now.
It was Luka that didn't want it to work at the beginning.
@@alokobaju8288 according to who?
@@ouicertes9764according to the flat earth anti-vaxxers.
The problem is when you have two weak defensive players you need to surround them by 2-way players that are very strong on the defensive end. The Mavs have address these problem plus other role players are more developed at this point in their career than prior
As this is the first video I’ve seen from you i must say, This was a very well put together video! Very easy to follow and understand and informative. It flows well and i even learned a lot about some players i didn’t even know were such a factor! This was great! Definitely subbing for more!
I appreciate you, looking forward to creating more amazing content for you!
I’d let OKC win tonight if I’m the Mavs. Of the three teams jockeying for first place in the West, I feel like OKC is the least threatening of them all and right now they’re the #1 seed. Keep them there! 👍
Avoid Nuggets plus you get to put SGA and Thunder in their place ..... im sold Assuming Lebron doesnt spank OKC in first round :D
They’re most likely to test Kyrie and Luka anyway, so it may happen
The Mavs roster right now is the Perfect Storm! Mark my words, they'll go deep in the play-offs!
Comeback player of the year with the same stats as last year?
the main thing I notice ,Is they actually look likely they're having a blast out there as a whole team
Most definitely, they look like they’re having real fun out there!
Being the most feared team in the nba makes it more fun😂😂😂
I would actually watch a Denver/Dallas final.
It's what I hope .. And Luka MVP too..
All right now as a Dallas Mavericks fan who got see two games this season youre getting me hyped as hell about my Dallas Mavericks making it to the championship!! MFFL
Im rooting for the mavs for sure. Going to be so awesome watching PG and Ky going at it. Cant wait for the breakdowns.
Dirk would be proud fr.
I mean, they almost made it to the Play in Tournament. Thanks to Gafford and Washington for the opportunity to make it to the Playoffs!
if they beat the clips, I have them winning the chip.
What about the Nuggets ?
Nuggets aren’t that great. Mavs will expose them and MPJ and Murray are defensive liabilities.. especially Murray. Trust me, Mavs will expose this issue. 💯
@@HenryCorya-nq7jxthe team that Dallas beat a few weeks ago even though they shot 9-35 from 3?
Kyrie and Luka. Nice.
Love watching the Mavs play
BIggest comeback of the season ... kyrie irving Biggest contribution to a team...Gafford and PJ Washington
Please don't show clips of ESPN basketball "analyst". I come here specifically to get away from that garbage and I don't like to be reminded that they actually exist.
STAY HEALTHY AND THEY CAN SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN. GAFF AND PJ WASH BOTH FEARLESS. THJ AND EXUM ADJUSTING TO ROLES AND DJJ IS AN UNDERRATED DEFENDER AND PASSER. LONG WAY TO GO BUT THIS IS A SCARY TEAM IN THE MAKING
Dude great job , you should have way more subs
I appreciate that!
A healthy clippers team and a motivated confident Russ scare the bejesus out of me. Not have Kwahi will be a problem and I wanted to get revenge from the clippers anyways. Should be a damn good series.
Dallas looking great
Of course they can be good together… Luka is similar to LeBron, less athletic but more skilled at passing
Notice the mavs Rested their team in game 81 as well as 82. Everyone else in the western conference fighting aimlessly for the #1 seed
Because it was set 2 days ago that they were playing the clippers regardless.
@@smokesNedibles which makes the biggest difference for round 1
3 teams fighting for number 1 seed, will hopefully tired them out in the long run
They will get their rest. The playoffs starts in a weeks time. don't know what you are on about? Mavs should beat the Clippers first before the fans start thinking about WCF.
the thing about the mavs is, you got a really skilled team who all have a strong bond and chemistry with each other, they listen and respect their coach, and they’re humble and focused. they encourage their role players through thick and thin. that will take them very far
Absolutely, people forget about Jason Kidd and his accomplishments
@@HoopsFinity trash coach and you know it. Luka been carrying him. Literally one good year. That's it
The small forward position is still thin for the Mavs. Somehow, Rui Hachimura can filll that spot.
Interesting suggestion. Who else do you think is a good option for that 3/4 position ?
@@HoopsFinity Paskal Siakam or Lauri Markkanen.
@@jaysonvelasquez726 Paskal loves being in Indy... try Lauri H, Utah is falling off the edge right now.
Mavs & Knicks in the finals
Two heads are better than one...
This is Kyrie x Lebron 2.0 with a deep ball. And people doubted them
Stop it luka better than leflop.
if they beat my Clips, I'll root for them to win the chip.
luka showed what he can do against the clippers with alot less, gonna be a crazy series i think
Imagine Dallas get a consistent 3rd scorer next year. They gonna be contenders next 4-5 years
Deni avdija is that guy imo
@@Ballhawk99 dont need one that got hardaway and pj. they combine for like 30 a game
has soon as he said shy , i couldnt take him seriously 😅
This whole video is a joke
YOU SHOULD HAVE ALOT MORE SUBSCRIBERS
I want them to win the chip so bad
Subbed
1:09 “Kyrie who’s been the main man most of his career”…what career? Which Kyrie? When has Kyrie been the main man? 3 seasons under Lebron, 3 years under KD, 2 years under Luka. Kyrie has been the main man once in Cleveland and once in Boston. He’s been the 2nd option MOST of his career and damn near every team he’s been on.
okay? I can tell you've never done anything competetive in your life. this isn't a dc comic book where its one man versus the world (american mindset : superman, batman, aquaman, Man etc) its a team game.... have you ever done a job and one person is brilliant and the other teammates are average? you don't go far and the brilliant person gets exhausted. Get a couple of brilliant people together and the skys the limit.... Get off your keyboard and go live life lmaooo
@@RafaelangeloDeNazareth Kyrie was a total f***ing loser in Boston. 1st year the young stars went all the way to ECF without him (injured). 2nd year he was a massive egotistical a$$hole, ball hogged and hindered more than helped. "led" the Celtics to a 2nd round FAIL. facts: Cs were better without him! thought he was the only man (avg. 21.4 pts & +/- of -14) ... was never the main man ... then he f***ed off to Brooklyn for another disaster.
Let’s Go Mavs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Mavs❤❤❤❤
Mavs Nuggets great west final!
I would love to see that
That's the Lakers problem, they wont get a big man. Same with the warriors. You need a defensive big man. You guys have tons of players that can score. But no big man
with harden and Klay who would you choose? if Harden played athletic defense then i feel like he would have a chance.
It doesn't matter. They don't care about anything less than winning.
That's my team 🎉 ahahaha
5:47 west semis anybody
Pronouncing Shai as "shy" is crazy
Top 4 for mvp are international players
Is the rest of the world taking over the NBA ? 👀
There hasn't been an American MVP since Hardin in 2018
Imagine Joke having a Partner of Kyrie Caliber it would be Game Over next 5 Years, in the End of the Day Balkans Region gooing to have 5 out 6 Possible last MVP no matter what The Balkans winnning :)
MVP award is a joke!! we all know that Finals mvp is all that matters. they give the mvp to wo they want or make up for prior years .. its sad
Some of the greats are cursed with a team with bad management or bad luck. They shouldn’t be held accountable for that which they cannot control.
@@leonyses2887 exactly.. luka is this years mvp
forever a long time dawg.......nothing stay the same.......get real
Way back 2009 championship 🔥 Same motivate how to get a championship and ring 🩶
I'm rooting to Mavs this year. If they don't win a ring in 2 years. Luka going to Spurs in 2026.
Not Spurs but Nuggets.. Imagine Jocker and Luka together ❤❤
@@MimieThalie Nuggets don’t have cap space. Not sure if they are willing to trade Jamal Lakers killer
Hardy is not a backup 😂😂😂😂
Luka will only win MVP when the Mavs end up Top 3
3:33 😂
If Luka is healthy, they will be hard to beat!!!
The only thing i dont understand why in the hell are they spiking the ball into the 3rd row on a block? Just tap it gently to your teamate and keep the ball......
Cause that shit is fun af, frustrates the other team and crowd and/or gets yours going dont be such a weenie.
🤣🤣 if only the players were so thoughtful!
@astashasta1 or hell, snatch it from the air, that's even more fun, AND gives you a free possession
Sends the team a message. We have big defense and We bad😮😮😮. Try me again
@@Davidstone568 and what message would that be? Here's another chance to score on us? Because thats what you're doing spiking the ball out of bounce. You give your opponent a second chance :D
fix the audio dude those clips are too loud and your is too quite
Wolves and Dallas for the conference finals
I have the Mavs winning the title.. they will be at the clippers and the thunder in 5 games each then Denver in 6 then Boston in 7
I’m coming back to this if this happens 😭
Do people really believe the mavs can win a chip ? Lol, be real
I do not lol they are not@@chrisprova2558
@chrisprova2558 if they make it out of the west, they're definitely getting that championship.
11 days later: clippers vs mavs is already a minimum 6-game series & looking like 7. the mavs probably ain't winning against OKC, but let's say they figure out a way, it will take 7 games. the mavs ceiling in 2024 is the WCF, they won't get passed the nuggets or the wolves (the other western semis).
Shoot, we dont even have Kawhi. Mav looks scary.
PG will not show up
Recruit Tatum
If you've never played ball and won championships, you have to have roll players!!! Plain and simple....I owned a semi-pro team in my 20's and 30's....we ran off 28 championships in a row!!!! I would give the 7 foot trophies to my uncle and when we had a couple hours until our next game.....his wife would make us lunch ...and we would sit and I would say......look that's what we did!!! His entire living room was filled with trophies!!!
What if they just did a 50/50 coin toss for the two closest people that are going for MVP 😂
Or if it really is that close they could do like a three-point shootout and skills competition to win the MVP
That would be pure comedy 😭😂
I think we all know who would win that
Would say gafford is a v inpt piece on the inside too. Problem with this team is it cannot go into injury.
Do you think they’ll have them on load management during the playoffs ?
No .
It's pronounced Yokic. Stop disrespecting people's name.
It's Yokich
It's Djokitsh
If we getting technical in English the correct pronunciation is Yow-kuhch or Yo-Kutch. To not announce the ch at this end is disrespectful
Same with Doncic. Its Don-chich
Nope it's "Yow-kutch" so get your achckually 🤓 lookin ahh out of here
Mavericks just look to good but I lol remain humble. But we’re like that believe that. We have two players who avg over 25 and 30 best duo in the league best clutch team in the league. Top 10 defense top 10 offense and top 10 3 point team It’s really insane. We’re number one in defense since then also. And top 1-4 in offense shit us crazy and Pj can go for 30 and gaffers can for for 25-30 and thj can go for 15-30 lol any given night you can get blown tf out.
CLICKBAIT
The NBA hates the fact white euros are taking over. Luka and jokic the sabonis is also up there (he's American)
You pronounced Jokič as Joekich! :))))
i done with the mvp for luka ill face it jokic will get the mvp ,but not even NBA first team shit nba... oh and duh jokic is a center center has most % to grab more rebounds than point guard/guard but maybe because he's is been most disrespected all this time luka will shut em up by winning the chip this year
luka is my mvp and if we win it all it’ll be a huge finger to the talking heads
SAG team is 1st in the west stop it!!!!
Too small
it’s different now kyrie accepted the Robin role unlike the time when he was with Bron, but if he accepted the Robin role with Bron they can get 3-4 Rings 2 of the rings maybe he can be the Fmvp😢
Kyrie was disrespected and underappreciated being brons sidekick. Kyrie is just balling, that's it. None of the bs narrative and a supportive team environment.
