lol shaq don’t watch the games, keep saying kyrie and Luka don’t play defense
yeah fr lmao kyrie literally locked up clippers in the first half of the game 6 and then did his job at the second half
Haters gonna hate
luka soemtimes doesnt play that much cuz of his knee but he played good defense on game 3 vs clippers so idk why shaq mann idkk but frr
they needa give dirk his spot and trade kenny for someone else. keep barkley and ernie
BYE BYE NUGGETS
and this is why only Ernie has an nba vote for nba awards lol
I mean.. facts. 😂
Hilarious. U gotta be smoking to give Chuck & Shaq a vote. They to closed minded & stuck in the past lol But they are their for entertainment purposes & they do a great job @ that.
How bout Kendrik Perkins? LOL
@@Shmitty2023 personally i value chucks opinion a lot. whether he's right or wrong in his predictions i think he does know what hes talking about 100%
@@cloudunderweather9554Yeah Chuck sounds like he watches games Shaq doesn’t 🤷🏾♂️
Listen, I love this crew right here. But I can't take the disrespect to Luka every single time they talk about the Mavs. When they lose, they criticize his play. When they win, they still criticize him. And then goes to talk about comparing him with Brandon Ingram and how its easy it is to guard a 5x First Team All NBA. And how better Anthony Edwards is to Luka. This is so hard to watch.
why not!!! he is hugging the ball like hell...if ur a baller u would understnd the frustration that one guy holding the ball for more than 13 sec(sometimes even more!!) ...even if ur a great player u have to share the ball more...especially when your a guard....and to them they in the nba and they probably know more than we did...so its great to watch luka and no doubt he is in fact a hell of a player...but to win a championship..he got to learn to share the ball more...thats it....BTW the way he plays is fun to watch for the fans and people all round but it wouldnt be that fun if ur playin with him
AE better
😮same dumb mess luka fans think hes so called better than trae young
yeah crazy one sided here for OKC ... and totally disrespecting Luka here
if you watch the games you would know that Luka played bad the last 3 games. dont just look at the stats.
i will come back to this when dallas wins lmao
Me too
And make sure you apologize to okc when y’all do 5/7/2024 ✅
OKC is overrated. The wolves and Mavs are better
@@KiarRushingLet’s make a cash app bet? ?$1000?
I’ll be right back bro. Just offered a $1000 bet to a naysayer below
Kenny actually making sense. Chuck saying it’s gonna be easy to guard Luka.
Saying Dort rather guard Luka than Ingram is crazyyy 😂
Dorts one of the best defenders in the NBA
@@kyleclark4650 Sure but it wont be easy
@@kyleclark4650and Luka is arguably the best offensive player in the NBA 💀
@@kyleclark4650luka is the best scorer.
Chuck, I love you, but there is no guarding Luka. OKC better hope Luka is missing shots like against the Clippers. And Shaq says LuKai doesn't play defense. I can see now why Perk said you guys don't watch games.
Also Pj Washington and lively and. GAFFORD. WHICH OKC CANNOT MATCH MAVS IN 6
@@NickJaramillo-gi7gs hop off
It's not the Regular series anymore... Death of the overrated euro
@@kimtoncoleman8934 See that's just hating. Just say you don't like him hahahaha. And you're saying it's not the regular series like the European you talking about is not a playoff performer.
Luka is injured he might be ruled out. And even if he plays it is not 100% Luka. Dort is in the perfect spot right now. If he ditches crippled Luka it is over. Only if he was fully healthy. I got OKC over dallas then wolves in the finals beating celtics.
Same narrative all year long from shaq and chuck.. Luka nd Kyrie got to play defense... Did they even watch the clipper games?? ....Luka has to give up the ball, did they not watch the shots Kleber and pj got, and Kyrie taking over half of the games.
Ok but Luka hit the injury list. It is not 100% Luka, he might even miss the series. And his efficiency was poor ~40/24/83 against clippers without their primary defender.
Lmao Luka will not miss more than 1 game @@alek4001
Okc is different faster better all around yea they right good luck 🤣🤣🤣
Kleber is also out for the rest of the season.
Before the playoffs Chuck said OKC couldnt win a series and would lose to the Mavericks... So idk about all season lol
Did Charles barkley say lu dort locking luka down 😂
Easy he said 😂
Harden locked Luka down 😂
They dont know luka can pass
they should have asked those who guarded luka in clips series like T-Mann..even him says it is not easy
Dort always guarded Luka and still couldn’t stop him 🤣 he’s going to pass out trying his best all game
They stay hating on my boi kyrie n Luka... WATCH THEM ABT TA SWITCH UP WHEN MAVS WIN
how is it hating that they think okc wins. yall make it seem like its disrespectful to have okc over the mavs
@@mob8421it’s disrespectful what they’re saying
@@matthewmims2289 u know what, thats fair. i finished watching the video and they were slighting their defense.
@@mob8421 Shaq has been this way for years towards Luka, it's hatin at this point
@@mob8421 they act like anyone can guard luka or kyrie lol chuck really think small ass Lu Dort can guard luka lol
Do they even watch the games???
No, no they don't
No they don't
I’m amazed at how easy they think it will be for the Thunder.
The young thunder are worthy. They’re special and they deserve respect post KD RUSS HARDEN era
@@rickDArulagive them respect sure but it will not be an easy series for them
@wooowallllright agreed sir. This is their first test
Yeah. It’s kind of crazy, the Mavs with Luka have always been tough in the playoffs, now that Kyrie & his chemistry have clicked along with the role players that have elevated the whole team. They are really tough, especially for a team as young as OKC
I'm not, OKC is clearly the better team.
Chuck and shaq are for entertainment purposes only. Never take what they say seriously
Yeah they've lost all credibility. Funny enough, Perkins was right.
I wouldn't go that far,
They get slap when Dallas wins 😂😂😂
Shaq is useless. But Chuck makes good points most of the time.
They also establishment shills all these guys .. clowns as Malcolm X would say
Dort is 6’4. Luka is 6’8 Ingram is 6’8. wtf is chuck on about 😂😂😂
Dort is 6"6
@@kimtoncoleman8934 0dort is definitely not 6'6 breh HAHAHAHA hes 6'4 on a good day, probably closer to 6'3 lol
Comparing Ingram who just always do jumpshot and fadeaway vs Luka who can post up, stepback, and is a threat on a alley-oop. I don’t know with Chuck
Dort is literally 6'3.75 lol he rounds up to 6'4@@kimtoncoleman8934
@@fijianwonder & luka isn’t 6’8 he’s 6’7 and he’s a lot slower than Ingram Luka not bullying Dort and his shot already off Dort will definitely love guarding Luka
What about Chuck saying Ingram is harder to defend😂😂😂😂
I don’t know with Chuck at this point he says that it will be easy for Dort because Ingram has size advantage comparing to Luka but he also contradicts himself by saying Ingram doesn’t utilise his length. Luka is the matchup nightmare from any defender in the league because he uses his size very well specially in the post, Luka is literally taller than Chuck I don’t know why compare him with just jumpshot Ingram
@@chillax9184 lu is an excellent stopper and luka is playing on one knee. It will boil down to luka’s contested long 2 or 3pt most of the time. It is almost impossible to move the body like dort when you have only one healthy knee and luka most likely wont risk it.
@@chillax9184that’s not a contradiction… what’s with these terrible comprehension skills in the world recently… Size advantage and somebody NOT taking advantage of his size isn’t a contradiction. He’s saying that there’s a size advantage there.. but the individual has to be the one to make use of it. He literally explains that himself and still this comment is typed????
Lmao Luka is an offensive wizard with his passing and shooting, Thunder does not have a chance against Mavericks if Luka and Kyrie play like the first round.
It ain’t gonna be the same .
If Luka plays like the first round then OKC are heavy favorites.
@@KiarRushing pelicans would of won if they had Zion i believe that one whole heartedly
@@wafflepvp5493 Its nice to have dreams
@@dallastexas5653Luka is injured. If his knee heals before the next game this is going to be a great series.
this guys dont watch and like the mavs, they rly talking like Luka is just an ALL star , Put some fcking respect hes the best in the league.
its ok dude all this haters gonna hate no matter what,let Luka cook them 👏👏👏
Have You watched mavs? Luka is injured, his efficiency was underwhelming against LAC. MVP caliber guy for sure when he is healthy. But his knee situation is the reality. Vegas got OKC for a reason.
Luka nuthuggers are crazy though. He's not the best player in the league
Luka not the best player in the league. He Top 2-3,offensive player. Not the best overall though. Minnesota will kill either team
@@alek4001 yeah but he didn't make that as an excuse to be better..by the way he didn't said he is better he just want to win injured or not that's all he cares...
Dort is not stopping Luka 😂
Just hope Luka is able to play on that bum leg.
You don't "stop" superstars, but you can frustrate, infuriate, wear out, and other wise make them work for everything. That does take a toll. I don't know if Dort can do that, but that's what he does to almost everyone else he plays.
It's prison rules now
The Luka slander is CRAZYYYYY!!! The NBA media ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for the narrative they put on this boy!!! What else does this man have to do to earn respect?!?! They’re robbing this man of an MVP meanwhile he averaged 34-9-10 (with Kyrie and Lively playing less than 60 games each)… and they didn’t even get Gafford or PJ until February?!?!?! Westbrook won MVP when OKC was 6th in the West and 10th overall while the Mavs are 5th in the west and 6th overall in a super tight race in the west… LUKA HAS BEEN PUNISHED FOR MAKING THE GAME LOOK TOO DAMN EASY!!! IVE LOST MY RESPECT FOR THE NBA MEDIA THIS SEASON!!! Lookin like a bunch of sorry puppets up there talkin about digesting burgers… like they actually watch games or somethin 🤡🤡🤡
@@whh3946 I guess this ain’t about ball anymore it’s just a fraternity… n if they know anything about business they’ll give Luka the MVP he deserves cuz he actually moves the brand of basketball globally 🤷🏽♂️
Most media are picking the Mavs, relax lol. If anyone has been disrespected its the Thunder.
Let's be honest.. If Luka was black they would be comparing him to Bron..
@@mith2946no😂
"It's easy to guard Luka" lmao you guys are a joke. I never heard any Coach in the NBA saying it is easy to Coach Luka loool
Like the timberwolves the mavericks have the athletic centers and defenders to beat the thunder
Great matchups - should be a great series.
Minnesota will sweep both teams
Which is the hole for Thunder. Chet will have a handful from Gafford, and Lively
@@NickJaramillo-gi7gs Denver & refs will fight back with the Wallmart card. See how the whistle goes Friday - Nuggets have gotten an easy whistle all season with bully slowfeet defense and offense, AG, Joker, Murray uncalled pushoffs. Murray pushing AE on D in game 2, flopping with last second feet set - comedy gold with the no call. Lesson to West - outbully the bullies - length and quickfeet swarm on Murray, Porter, Joker - so great to see realD beat slow-bully D. Don't hear Mouth Malone whining about small market media and not enough foul calls... yet - But man was he screaming with no Tech on court - after Game 1 fake tech on AE... Lovin' this 1000 Lakes whoopin'... But I never thought this blowout would happen like this on champs with refs at home... So if Twolves sweep, still think OKC & Mavs 2.0 (Lively + Gafford) have quicker feet on O&D, and real D with length & quick hands..
@@artimp152 you make zero sense and tons of unbased false accusations
Charles and Shaq you go with okc to Cancun if Dallas wins this series
LUKA DONCIC DO YOU HEAR THIS DISRESPECT????? 😂😂😂 Wow!! I’ll be back when series is over MFFL🗣️🗣️🗣️

Man Shaq and Chuck gonna be in for a rude awakening
like keyshawn did didnt even show on the set after he's clippers got clip😅😅😅
It’s time for them to go. I’m sick of all the lazy takes and the hate that comes out of all three. They had their time. Give me a new line up.
Honestly, what are these takes.
these shouldn't even classify as takes.......
I like the hate luka and kyrie get from the folks who dont even watch their games, this will give an extra motivation for this fiery duo to answer their critics, remember how the "Dallas to Cancun" sign in game 5 went for the clippers. Cant wait to see kyrie and luka doing their stuff.
Ironically Shaq predicted Dallas to be the 2024 Champs, now he's saying that OKC will win this easily. Like bruuuh.
I really do hope Luka is listening really let’s go mavs
ikr,lets just wait on the game tomorrow
I sent it too all The mavericks twitter
I stopped watching when Chuck said Luka doesn't have a size advantage on Dort 😂 one is 6'7, the other 6'4...there is your first edged! Dort is a dog on defense, but Luka always had his numbers
Yeah i got confused on that as well chuck must be out of his mind. The Mavs will go for an upset!
Kenny Smith the only one with any sense this round! The thunder is about to be exposed and you can come back to this comment after the series too!
You Live in Vegas ? Go Betcha House!
@@soonerstompin679 you go bet your house
Luka & Kyrie are a dynamic duo & the role players are doing really well, I feel like the Mavs are going to take this one. OKC is very skilled, they are still young though & I know they didn’t show it against the Pelicans but Mavs are a different story.
Easy for OKC?? lmao😅 Mavs in 6
lmao these fools don't watch any games. Luka and Kyrie played awesome defense last series.
Aganist the clips bro lmao like you sound like a casual rn 😭

@@saiwaqa2573 tell em again bc okc went against New Orleans 😭😭
Thank God these geniuses are picking OKC. Let’s go Mavs!!
Shaq pick mavs to win chip this season and pick okc in this series shaq mind in everywhere 😂😂😂
The true deciding factor in this match up is going to be Luka's health and whether he can move and score the way he normally does. The Mavs won in spite of some terrible shooting nights from him and he can still contribute a lot even when he's compromised, but for the vast majority of his career play off games he's scored phenomenally well. If he and Kyrie are both clicking offensively at the same time and they bring the same physical defense against the Clippers, we'll have a real show down.
Shaq lost his damn mind
Mavs in 5 too much experience and unlike the Pelicans a better defense with more offensive consistency
It took six to beat the Clippers and you think they’re beating OKC in 5?
@@dallastexas5653 well clippers has many superstars and Hall of famer. OKC has None and a RISING star. So yeah
Yes@@dallastexas5653
As a Denver fan I agree Dallas in 6 but nobody is beating Minnesota the wolves will most likely sweep both seriously
@@dallastexas5653okc lacks size and length and physicality thry also lack rebounding and they're NOT. BATTLE TESTED AS THE MAVS ARE THOSE THINGS MATTER WAY MORE. THAN. YOU KNOW.
chuck you really said that luka has nonsize advantage on ludork? oh god noone on okc has the combination of lenght and size to match up on luka.
Love the cast but some of the takes they have like Luka and Kyrie not playing defense is absurd. Luka this playoff had one of his best defense we had ever seen from him and Kyrie impact and energy on defense is insane, in his post game interview scoring 2pts at half said that he played so much hard defense it wore him off at half
You can tell Shaq don’t like Kyrie and Luka. He be having flashback
“Easier for him to guard Luka”??? Huh??? Insane.
There is a narrative against Luka that needs to be stopped. Did they not watch the clippers series with Luka and Kyrie playing some amazing defence? What does Luka have to do to prove how good is he?
its ok that Mavericks is the underdog in this series because it only motivates Luca, Kyrie and the rest of their teammate to play better basketball.
Mavs are favored in this series they are not underdogs
Thunder fan here. I've watched us all season, and I'm very happy with what I've seen. Expectations totally exceeded; having said that, I do not have the same confidence as Shaq and Chuck. Luka and Kyrie are absolute forces of nature. Gonna be a great series(hopefully).
Lakers in 7
The Luka and Dallas disrespect is disgraceful
2 time defensive player of the year Kawhi said Luka is hard to guard…. Kawhi ain’t just being nice it’s facts Luka averaging 30 points in his career vs the clippers 🤣😂
Ingram and Luka comparison wtf man nah that's not right
Gafford + lively >>> chet. Luka >>> sga kyrie >>> whoever okc 2nd best player is
It is the playoff and its not regular season , Luka and Kyrie are known to have great series , stop down talking Luka like he is a scrub , He will kick their behinds.
THE DISRESPECT IS CRAZYYYYYY !!!!!!!!
“Some his outfits leave a little bit to be digested” 😂
Like "desired" isn't even that hard a word to remember. But I guess that's why we love Chuck. He's not there for his extensive vocabulary and speaking skills.
Gonna have to disagree with this one, As a thunder fan, this one won’t be easy, it’s going to be an intense and emotionally filled series, series will end in dramatic fashion all the way to game 7. Best of luck to Mavs this will be a fun one!!
Kenny smith is a fucking ball genius
They never give Dallas credits they deserve.
Okc is not only young but the most talented, skillful, chemistry build team in the league . Everyone plays as a unit . It’s not gonna be easy for the Mavs. Everybody including the bigs on okc can shoot and the bench over Dallas is a mismatch .
RIP OKC - Chuck picked you lol 😅😬😂
Guys disrespecting luka will eat their words.
They hate on Perkins for saying they don't watch games , when it's clearly a fact as you can see
Clearly did not watch the World Cup. Canada vs. Slovenia. Lu Dort and Shai could NOT guard Luka; Brooks guarded him better. It is just that Luka does not have a better supporting cast in Slovenia. So he struggled against double teams. Now, he has Kyrie!!!
Chuck said luka dribble-dribble-dribbles like a "baby james harden" 😂😂😂
I don't understand why Kenny would say "we have not seen him (Luka) out of the stratosphere like Ant Ed of which we've seen". Is he implying Ant is better than Luka? bro come on now.
I assume he just means this postseason. Which is fair, but Luka is injured.
I think he means we haven’t seen Luka go off yet like he can do sometimes. He’s been good/great but hasn’t had that God mode moment yet.
@@20texans02 Luka has shown more than Ant already has. I think it's recency bias since in this playoff, Ant was able to dominate in the last series and this vs Nuggets as well. Considering, Luka is playing through sickness and injury this playoffs. But to undermine Luka (which is arguably one of the greatest offensive player we've seen) just because of the recent series, if it's not hate then Idk what is.
@@hottakes2633 if it's this playoffs, I get it. But if it's entirety of career, it would be a different story.
Shaq saying Luka and Kyrie dont play defense... theres no way he watched the Clippers series.
All this is great for Luka...
Chuck and shaq is like keyshawn they dont know what their saying
Mavs in 6

SGA & J-Dub are number 1 in the clutch this season 🤷🏾♂️
So once Dallas wins, then they blame the other team for not showing up
It may take okc winning this series to get SGA the flowers that fans outside okc owe him
Too bad he'll never get it coz they won't win 😂
Usually I love this show but this right here was hard to watch.... Ernie I feel for you being the only one there with brain cells
Luka is 1 of 5 all time scorers in the playoffs and single handily dismantled the Suns franchise yet he has had an “out of stratosphere moment “ got it.
Hasnt*
They said the same thing about the clippers😂 thank you Kenny for saying some sense at least
Lmao can’t wait till dallas shock the world 😂
SALUTE TO J.KIDD HE DEFINITELY DESERVES HIS PROPERZ 💯
Saying Luka should be easier to guard than BI is crazy, I saw Lu Dort literally on BIs side forcing him to go right and he would not go right, Luka you force him left or right he will go and get a great shot, he got the counters. When Mavs lose "Luka is way too ball dominant", when Mavs win they still find a way to criticize him.
Underrated match up I'm excited to see is Lively VS Chet. Nobody talking about Lively. But he's got the same build as Chet with more athleticism and he's two years younger. When that kid gets real minutes he's a double-double guy already at 19. That dude gonna average 15 points, 10 boards and 3 posters per game one day.
Kyrie-Drama & LUKA MAGIC UNSTOPPABLE in OFFENSE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shaq the almighty hater.
"Leave a little bit to be digested." Say what Chuck? 🤣🤣
Yeay!!! It's 2022 vs the number 1 seed Phoenix Suns all over again!🥰🥰🥰🥰 They said Mikael Bridges would wear Luka out. And Ayton would dominate. How did that turn out?
OKC is nasty. Everyone keeps thinking about age but they're one of the best teams in my lifetime and age hasn't shown itself to be a problem as of yet. Look at their stats. If you look at OKC in a vacuum without their age in mind they easily have the ability to roll any team
In your lifetime? Are you 1 years old? You destroyed your argument by saying that. My guy called them one of the best teams at least of this era. That's a joke
Okc really is good. We're in a golden age of basketball right now, so for them to be this good offensively and defensively this young puts them ahead of schedule. They're a really good team no matter the era. That said, I still believe if Lukas healthy along with Kyrie, with experience and just overall star power with the right complimentary players will prove too much for Okc. A big reason will be Gafford, PJ and Lively overpowering Chet in the middle plus their defense. I got the Mavs in atleast 5 or 6.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Mavericks are winning the chip. Ever since the trade deadline we have been the best team in the league, and our front and back court combination has to be the best mix in the league even with the timberwolves and Celtics.
Idk man, Wolves looking scary good.

I hope Luka is healthy for the Timberwolves series because it's going to be physical.
I hope the win in this series slaps Shaq and Chuck hard and admit they were wrong
This is why it's a jokes show for casual fans. They clearly don't watch any of the games or have the deep knowledge of modern day ball required to make a sound analysis. No one who knows ball will ever take this crew seriously as "analysts", and it's ok, just people should be aware 🤷🏽♂️
I think they forgot what luka did to mikal bridges wayback 2022 playoffs. I think mikal was one of the best defender at that time but he can't stop luka . Im excited to see how luka perform against dort . Hope luka will eat him alive. To make this guys eat their words. But if dort will do well, hats off to him.
Wait! Didn’t Shaq say at the beginning of the season that the Mavs will win it all?!?! Why in the world is he switching now!?!?
Frfr
Mavs have been the underdogs all year. This will prove a lot…
Lively matchups will be turning point for space, shots, OR..
These comments are the best. I had no idea ppl take Shaq & Chuck serious 😂 Their entertainers. They entertain.
Luka needs to prove to the basketball world that he is the REAL MVP and not SGA nor Joker.
All Dallas needs is three games where Luka is hot. He's already productive asl in his off games. Imagine him and Kyrie performing at the highest level. Chuck and Shaq are wrong, I got Dallas winning a chip this year.
