He said Dallas is a non defending team😂 yeah get him off the panel

Shaq "is Anthony Edwards close to MJ?" Chuck "they both black"

Bro Dallas is going to surprise all of them.. non-defensive team is crazy

This didn't age well. These folks have no clue what they are talking about.

Dude really said Dallas doesn’t defend

Austin rivers keeps saying jaden mcdaniels can guard luka. Luka last 3 games against him, 34,39,& 33 😂😂

Every single thing, Austin River said, the opposite happened in game one.

Austin Rivers is always hating on Luka. I just happened to catch a clip the other day where Luka made him look bad, so I guess he's in his feelings still about that.

You would think even a former player would know what he’s talking about. Dallas’s offense hasn’t been great in either series. Their defense is what’s gotten them this far. They held the clippers & Okc 2 of the higher scoring teams in the league under 100 multiple times.

I just came here for the Jaden McDaniels funeral Luka making him look like Royce O’Neal 😂

Man they need to get rid of these people... One can't pronounce Luka's name, the other one said the mavs aren't a defensive team and SAS keeps talking about Kyrie and not even mentioning Luka at all.

2022 Mavs vs Suns - Everybody picked the Suns and labeled DBook as the next Kobe. Luka gave them the business. 2024 - Everybody picking the Wolves against the Mavs and labeled Ant as the next MJ. Let's see what happens. I like the Mavs being the underdogs.

“Jaden McDaniels guards Luka the best in the NBA” bruh Luka avgs 36 10 6 against the wolves this years what’s this man talking about 😂

i feel like if dallas wins there has to be a movie made about this title run 😭 so much adversity and doubt

Calling Dallas a non-defensive team after what we've seen since all star break is an insane take.

Stephen A. And Austin Rivers pick the Timberwolves...I immediately put my money on Dallas.

They keep on saying 3-1 in the regular season! But they’re forgetting the wolves never played THIS TEAM!

Whoever wins the Mavs / wolves series will be the nba champions

Can you please bring back Austin Rivers to First Take to hear what he has to say now.

Yo Steve where’s your historic defense? 3-0 LETA GO MAVS

I dont think Mad Dog ever picked up a basketball. He played stick ball outside 😂

Austin Rivers obviously hasn’t been keeping up with the Mavericks. They have been playing high level defense since the trade deadline. The Mavericks have been playing high level defense throughout the playoffs.

People seem to forget that minnesota has not played this version of the dallas mavericks with this roster, During the regular season minnesota won three out of four games But Kyrie missed two of And they have not played Dallas since the trade deadline. And with the addition of p j washington, Dallas has been a different team...this will be a great series...

Mavs killed wolves in a gentleman's sweep and one neck injury for full sweep. Great take Nepo Baby!

Maybe one of these analysts will learn how to say Luka’s last name one of these days 😒

this dude SAS hates that Luka is this good but he AIN’T a brother. didn’t even mention Luka even tho he’s the star of the team and has been the main reason they’ve been doing so good is because of him. then you got Mad Dog talking about “Donkic” just say Luka.. then the very last idiot saying Dallas a non defending team…its amazing they’re allowed to talk sports sometimes.

Austin Rivers should be fired for this analysis after game 1

Anyone seen Austin Rivers? I can’t find him anywhere!!!

Non defending team lol... Dallas been number one in defense since the trade and putting them in starting line up smh... mfs just be talking 😊

A lot of comments here didn't age well

I’m convinced nobody actually watched the mavs playoffs series lol

Won one game by injuring a rookie bench player then got stumped at home. Stephen A was wrong and Rivers tried to NBA acumen his delusional take into reality.

“DaLLaS iS a Non-DeFEnSiVe TeAm”

Watching this after Mavs just went up 2-0….makes this laughable.

Wolves held the nuggets to 70 points in a game but you right doggy. That happens all the time 🙄

Austin Rivers saying that Dallas « has been playing better defense recently » but not acknowledging Dallas is a top 3 Defense (some argue the best) since the trade deadline, is just wild. As an expert, please don’t rely on past fame but prepare your takes.

Austin Rivers talking fast to sound smarter 🥱

Anyone pretending that this will be an easy series for either team is clearly just being biased. Both are awesome. I personally think Ant man and that defense is currently unstoppable but I could easily see a Kyrie and Luka just going super nova and pulling off something crazy. Either way I'll take both of them over Boston🤣

Stephen A Smith picked the Clippers over the Mavericks. He was wrong. Then he picked OKC over Dallas and he was wrong again. Now he’s picking Minnesota to beat Dallas and almost everything he said about the matchup was proven wrong in game 1. How many times must this clown be wrong about Dallas before they stop asking for his opinion?

Dallas is up 2-0 lets go!!! Can't wait for this team to keep exposing these clowns.

Is it me or is ESPN constantly overlooking Luka ? Probably the best player in the league between him and Jokic.

Ant Man got ROASTED by Kyrie. 😎

What happend to their defense 😂😂😂 LETS GO MAVS!!!!

great prediction again

Didn't Luka eliminated a stacked clippers team full of experienced hall of famers while averaging almost a 40pt triple double for the whole series and being only 20 or 21 years old? Didn't he come with the most iconic line "Everybody acting tough when they up" when they were down 3-2 in the sun's series and then cooked that entire frenchise and handed them with the most humiliating game 7 of all time, where he scored as many points as the ENTIRE Sun's team in the 1st half? Putting the Mavs in the WCF. How come after Ant going 6 for 24 in a game 7 we are saying he's the best player in these series? Ant is in a superteam man, that's it. However, like any other mavs series, it all depends on Luka. If Luka is healthy, I have dallas in 6. If Luka is not healthy I have a sweep for dallas.

Those things that Austin River is saying its not happening right now in the series they are totally being destroyed by the Mavs.. you are a clown and you dont know what you are talking about 😂😂

Daaaang, so the Mavs ended up not shooting well Rivers, but they won. Minnesota is in trouble

I’m glad Mad Dog called out Stephen A flip flopping over and over again it’s pathetic

Mavs in 6 All the way

Laughing at these Takes After Game 1🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does Austin Rivers actually watch basketball?

Where's all the MVP candidate's?

For the rest of these playoffs, I'm telling you now, the best player in each series is gonna win the series. And Luka is the best player remaining...

Calling out Kyrie a bad move for ant

Mad Dog is being proven right by game 1 Mav win. Austin Rivers does not know a lot about Mavs and it shows. Expect SAS to change his pick 3 times before the series is over.

The stuff they were saying against Dallas on this video really aged well after game 1 lol if the dallas aint making shots the game is lost they are not winning the game - Austin Rivers

Who are here after the 1st match ? Dallas 1 win and wolves 0. Haha 👍 like !

“If Dallas isn’t making their shots, they will lose” … terrible take

Austin sounds silly. The mavs had the best defense over the last 2 months if the season. It wasn’t like they just turned it on, THEY CHANGED THEIR ROSTER. Luka was giving the wolves work by himself BEFORE the trade. The one game they both played, they beat the wolves and both Luka and Kai had 30+. The mavs didn’t have maxi then, and they don’t have maxi now, AND LUKA IS PLAYING ON ONE KNEE

I'm glad the Mavs are considered the underdogs in this series. Luka and Kyrie will surprise the world

Has Austin Rivers not watched basketball the last few months? Dallas plays amazing defense smh

I think Luka and kyrie are just gonna be to much for the wolves to handle… so I’m gonna go Mavs 4-2

This is amazing now!!!!😂😂😂

Contrary to popular belief SHAI WAS MORE SCARY OFFENSIVELY THAN ANT IS. that mf was automatic from mid range and getting to the line lol Ant while great has no high percentage shot u fear him making all the time. Shai would NEVER go 6-24 from the field because he’s to great of a scorer. Ant is a greater athlete but he’s a step below offensively than what Dallas faced last rd against Shai.

Austin rivers, bad at basketball even worst at this 😂

"Forcing Luka off the 3" Yeah keep hating Mavs in 6

Wow. It amazes me how former players sometimes know nothing about personal. McDaniel doesn’t guard Luka “better than anyone in the NBA” lmao not even close, he’s an elite defender but too skinny for Luka. Also “Mavs don’t play defense” is hilariously wrong. Mavs have been the best defense in the NBA since they got healthy after the trade deadline and that’s poured over into the playoffs. Mavs are the 2nd best defense left. Even over Boston due to being a better rebounding and rim protection team. Austin has no clue what he’s talking about. I don’t say this to say the Mavs will cook the wolves by any means, but I’m saying the Mavs definitely have a chance. I personally have the Mavs in 6, but I’m a biased Mavs fan. Wolves are great and wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they won and they probably deserve to be the favorites after beating Denver the way they did, but put some respect on Dallas. We’re not some fluke team who lucked into the WCF. I think whoever wins this wins the finals depending on how KP comes back for Boston. Either way we’re in for a phenomenal series. Let’s all enjoy it and good luck wolves fans. Let’s go Mavs💯

I trust Naz Reid coming off the bench and putting up 10-15pts. As a warriors fan I’ve seen him kill us in the regular season and I been saying this since last year that man plays winning ball.

No one player in todays league is stopping or slowing down Luka Luka only stops himself

The name "Gobert" reminds me a refreshing summer treat, like a Ralph's italian ice

Mavs got yall out here looking unprofessional 😂

The same people who picked the Clippers, then picked the Thunder and have now chosen Minnesota. Dallas is three wins away from the finals but the denial will continue. These same guys will pick against Dallas in the finals. 😅

"Anthony Edwards was on Murray's heels like a pair of fresh church socks" 😂

Jayden McDaniels has been cooked by luka each time luka played them check the numbers ! In two games luka played them this year luka had 35+ points lol

If this mavs team started the season, fully healthy they would be a 60+ win team

Mad Dog talking about Naz Reid like he's not the most consistent player off the bench this year.

Mike Conley was huge in the playoffs during the Griz success with ZBO and Gasol. Never turned the ball over, played solid defense and hit big 3s.

So much wrong predictions

Every time Stephen A goes against the mavs he states at the same time why he’s an idiot for going against them.

I m believing that Dallas wins in 6 games. They deserve to win the west. Who's with me??✔️✔️✔️

McDaniels guards Luka better than anyone in the league and Dallas is a non defending team. Who is this guy 😂?

Ant aint no Jordan. Not EVEN close BUD!

Mad Dog's basketball analysis was more spot on than Austin Rivers and SAS. What does that tell you about those two?

Bro… does Austin rivers watch basketball? Dallas has easily been a top 3 defensive team since the all star break. Man. Some of these “experts” just be getting spots on air because of their dads.

It’s interesting how we are always told about this guy or that guy that can shut down Luka yet it just doesn’t seem to actually happen. Same story, different day.

SAS is the biggest bandwagon rider on TV because he's the same dude that said Kyrie Irving needs to Retire...

I'm pleased to see that SA has maintained a calm tone this time. It would be beneficial for him to study basketball in addition to other subjects. In my opinion, former basketball players are intellectually at the level of football players, with a few exceptions.

wolves can play their defense, luka and kyrie are still gonna cook them. doesn’t help that if you double they have a bunch of high flyers to go catch a lob. mavs in 6.

I think this is first time I’ve seen a KZfaq video that said no views

Mad Dog is literally the best at what he does. He peddles crusty, stale, old takes and gets people mad to call in and have engagement. In the new age, it’s comments on KZfaq and X.

SAS calling the Mavs Kyrie's team and barely mentioning Luka is really funny. Not in a good way, but still, funny.

There's an extra factor that i think we forget or overlook - the coaching. J Kidd is very cunning he can make adjustments that win the game as former star guard he can read the game well. Mavs have not lost back to back this playoffs. These teams seem just about even though in different ways, thats when these other variables come into play.

why is austin rivers on the panel? i think more people remember him as doc’s son more than for his actual career

Update As of today: Mavs up 3-0 Hold my Beer🍻

Never seen someone speak with so much confidence while saying something so off. “Dallas is a non defensive team”.

This is hilarious after the 0-3 lol

How many times is Stephen A gonna say that Wolves are like piranhas on defense? 😂😂

Kyrie been good but why’s Stephen a give him the credit above luka, luka carried last series

I love the fact the Austin has no idea what he’s saying lmao. When you have an elite defense for 20 regular season games and 13 playoff games I think……….. YOU HAVE AN ELITE DEFENSE

As a Celtics fan im glad that Kyrie has matured into a leader thats willing to make teammates better it was just wrong time for us he was still young and trying to find his way
