Omg I loved seeing Tatum drive and drive and not settle for bad shots

Tatum put on a masterclass on how to get off the ball and find your teammates. When he was in his passing mode it was quick decisions and unselfishness and I know it surprised Dallas.

Congrats the Celtics on clinching their 18 titles. Their consistency and tenacity were the linchpin to the success while the Mavs were not good enough.

This was boring to some people just because they hate the Celtics. They say it’s a cakewalk? 80-21 is no joke. They bulldozed their way on top.

That half court shot was insane

Watching these reviews really show what i don't see and it really helps, thank you for doing them.

This WASN’T a boring finals

Gotta give credit on Boston's gameplan especially on Luka. They really figured him out in both ends of the floor. This is why people really need to look at how Boston played and how they won instead of making narratives.

I watch Hoop Venue like old people watch Fox News. I watch a lot of NBA analytic videos but I look forward to watching Hoop Venue.

All in all a really impressive stasticial season. Let’s go C’s ❤️☘️

I was completely baffled by Dallas' gameplan last night. In game 4 they were sitting their bigs in the paint, and just bombing away bc they were so confident they had the rebounding advantage - and they were right. Last night, a hobbled KP got in the game and Dallas seemed completely fixated on running at him, abandoning everything they had been doing well. And the drop off in defensive intensity when they werent getting that sweet whistle they'd enjoyed the entire series was wild. Kudos to Luka, he really looked like he was working out there, but mostly alone. Kid desperately needs to work on his fitness. How does he expect to go a whole series against the Boston Celtics, a team that does nothing but change diapers, work on basketball, and get to bed early?

This was my first NBA season watching your videos, and I really enjoyed them. I played a lot of basketball growing up, but watching the modern NBA is so fast-paced that I am usually just enjoying the game without a lot of critical thinking. It's been great to come watch your recaps and explanations to contextualize what I saw and add layers of meaning. Thanks for your content! Just wanted to drop a comment to boost your engagement!

What a way to watch and enjoy the playoffs thanks to you. Thank you for all of your hard work in pumping so much detail into your videos and turning them out so quickly

I just found this channel and I'm very happy I did, I can see what happened anywhere but you do a great job of explaining why it happened. Thank you for the detailed analysis.

This wasn’t a boring finals fkr Celtics fans haha I absolutely loved every second of it! I wish it can to longer!! I’m Gunna miss basketball. Can’t wait for next year!!

Brother, you did a phenomenal job this season! Your analysis have a depth I've seen on very few other channels. Much appreciated! Kind regards from the Netherlands!

🎉🎉❤❤🍀🍀🍀 well deserved. Let’s go back to back baby

Excellent breakdown. Thanks.

thanks for your analysis, see you next season

It went according to script. They won at home with their family and fans. They literally were just playing with the Mavs, Celtics in complete control of series under the guidance of their brilliant young coach. Now they are favorites to repeat.

Tatum at his best when let’s the game comes to him instead of shooting bad 3s💯☘️

Great breakdown as always. I wondering if you make another top 25 player series for this season? The one one last year was great

goated videos

The reason they put Irving/Doncic on the weak side corner (something they often do and that was emphasized since Game 2) was to avoid low help coming from the corner like Jrue did at min 6:50. The Cs wanted to close the lob threat by sealing Lively/Gafford and sending help from the weak side corner (Horford was the most reluctant to do it since he is too slow to recover on the corner, even though they could switch with the defender on the center). Of course Cs responded to this tactic by helping more from the nail, but helping from the nail is something Luka/irving can easily read and they can respond by going on the empty side (away from the nail) or by picking up the dribble early and have access to the lane (remember the low help never came from the center defender). I think the MAVS space was following this process: 1) if the pick&roll was on the right side, then you empty that side (even though since Game 3 they were putting someone on that side too so to have less defenders on the other side) and targeting Horford/Proz (Cs wanted Doncic to go right, so they emptied that side) and Irving had to be on the opposite corner (in this case the nail help is useless i Doncic is going towards the sideline); 2) if the pick&roll was on the left side then MAVS needed Irving on the wing (2 gap 90 degrees to stretch the floor) to create a driving lane. This of course was one of the many tactics during this Finals (of course this is my personal perspective).

They certainly made it look it easy! Unbelievable, historic title run! Now lebron will try to sign with boston but they wont

Can you do a video going over the team since Brad stevens first became coach. It has been an amazing journey lol

Absolute dominance that’s what this finals was

HV, I would like to see a breakdown on how the cavs made a 3-1 comeback

Video/audio production is slick.

What most people don't understand is that it was obvious to all the analysts at ESPN that Boston was going to dominate the playoffs. So they came on TV telling viewers that Boston was suspect, their competition was weak, Dallas was unstoppable and had the best backcourt in history. Thats how 89% of all bets placed on ESPNbet prior to the Finals were for Dallas to win, even though Boston was a heavy favorite according to Vegas. ESPN made a fortune trolling y'all and most of America fell for it, hook line and sinker. And most of that 89% are the "I do my own research" crowd. 😂

Love your content man. With that defense C's can Win at least 2 more. White, Jrue and 53 yo Horford are exceptionnal and too precious to these 2 stars. Jrue had so many off. Rebond and big shot in this series. Big lost for the Bucks Fr. But the real problem in this series is Jason Kidd. He had no solution whatsoever. I don't understand the switch everything strategy and these rotation and timeout where terrible in my opinion. As a Celtics Hater, I think it's going to be really tough for me in the next years to come. Happy for Horford though and I bet on Them to Win at the begining of the season because it was to obvious. I hope I lose that bet next year!😂

Al fin.

As a celtics fan this is the great finals in nba history

Tatum was spectacular

The Celtics adjusted their defense against Luka. Kyrie still has the Leprechaun curse.😳

Tatum and brown are gonna take huge leap next year. Now that they tasted if they add some more decent mostly defensive Bench players . And a back up big for tingus they can get 70 wins easy!

Mavs in 9!

I love when he said " I just don't get it " lol.. Go Celtics!

Holiday was great. Really punished the lazy switching with his off-ball movement, especially in the beginning.

how about a video why Dallas didn't defend the 3pt in losses against Celtics? or why is Brown MVP?

Greatest team in nba history, LFG!!!

It’s tough to beat a team where EVERYONE is a shooter. This team has the potential for a dynasty

I don't know why Kidd didn't stick to the game plan from Game 4. Also Mavs need a wing capable of cutting off ball and knocking down 3s at at least 37% to increase the potency of their offense for next season.

🎉

Wish tatum plays like this going forward! less step back threes more attack the paint not alot of guys can guard him. 🎉to the champ

❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Tatum shouldn't settle so much. His best game was when he was driving. This finals wasn't boring to me.

He looked great up 3-1

Hopefully next finals will be a rematch

LETS GO CELTICS. FUCK THE HATERS

after being a contender to win the chip for 6 years, they finally didnt choked out

💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚

So before the finals started it was " Celtics haven't played anybody, they haven't been tested, Kyrie and Luka are the best backcourt ever ( after being a 5 seed and winning nothing) " majority of media picked Dallas and after Celtics handled them now they're a "superteam" have 5 all stars , blah blah blah. Tatum and brown are all stars but horford hasn't made an all star game in like 14 years and was literally sitting at home before Celtics traded kemba and got horford back. Holiday has made 2 all star games TEN years apart and made his 2nd a few years ago because Middletown was hurt and bucks were still a top 2 seed. Porzingas has been traded away 4 times? And white was on the spurs with arguably the best coach in the NBA in Greg popovich and he didn't see the potential I guess cause they traded him away. The Celtics won because everyone put team and winning first and once brown got snubbed for all NBA and all defensive teams man was on a mission and literally had Luka gassed and walking up and down the court in the 3rd quarter of game 5. Tatum played good all around but not exactly up to his standards. Monkeys off their back everyone's back next year and should only get better.

Greetings...the future looks bright folks.with MVP-GM....Stevens, ready-steady coach Joe,a talented, battle tested squad....proof positive that...you guessed it.....TEAM BALL IS WINNING BALL!!!!!!..ENJOY BANNER#18!!!.. ☝️😎🤙☘️💚🏆

its almost like the Celtics purposefully played a bad game in game 4....

19th

BoOkeR wiLL hAve a NeW BrotHer 🤪

Boston had a all around dominant season even with their easy run statistically they stack up with some of the greatest teams in the NBA history (not saying that they are better than these teams) this was such a great season as a Celtics fan 🍀🏆

Boston Celtics back-to-back champion 🏆 ?

Dallas was cocked all series long...😂

I hate when a team plays like a team

Knicks in 6

I don't need to kill myself now that the celts won

im happy they didnt give tatum mvp... they'll be back next year for it.

mavs in 8🤣🤣

You gotta make a video about Luka and the positives of his finals and playoffs cuz it shouldn’t go unnoticed. He still is the best player in the world. His team choked.

It’s crazy how many people were picking the mavs 😂 even after going up 3-0 and Dallas picked up a game people thought they were gonna win somehow 😂 yall drunk

This ending is kinda sad, i mean the Celtics have won 18 times... so the mavs are the underdogs, it would have been cool to see them win.

First

Greatest finals ever! Suck it, Dallas 😹

Are you still a Gobert worshipper?

It must be nice getting 16 of your rings when the nba had like 8 teams and was full of plumbers.

J kidd is a horrible coach

Boring Finals because West is too weak

It’s “AN historic”

ESPN has failed the audience with their terrible and embarrassing finals coverage

Yep look at all these people calling the finals boring, y’all know why? Cause when LeBron retires, the league is gonna be boring

Love your non nonsense narrative Analysis. No "Best Offensive backcourt ever!", No "Finals are boring", No "Tatum is this and that!" here. 👍🫡

Congrats the Celtics on clinching their 18 titles. Their consistency and tenacity were the linchpin to the success while the Mavs were not good enough.
