Tatum said he was gassed in the nba finals. I think we underestimate how tiring this 2 month stretch can be. It’s hitting Edwards now. It’s a marathon not a sprint

The wolves shot that many 3s because shooting a 3 uses less energy than driving to the basket. Them folks tied boss

30pts each! Joker and Jamal had similar numbers like Kyrie and Luka but, contrary to Nuggets, Mavs had others showing up big time. Very, very well built team, to Mavs!

I understand what Kenny is saying. It can be a mental breakdown after a tough Game 7, Long series and being the Defending Champs. You can’t say that doesn’t take a toll.

Dallas had 62 points in the paint and only missed one free throw. Minnesota missed 7 free throws. That's game right there.

I wish ppl stop saying Kat has an advantage every night. He has never been a physical player or consistent rebounder during his entire career. And Gafford and Lively are athletic, high energy big men. They don’t have a size advantage.

These guys acting like Luka and Ky are not all-time greats, they better study and step up

They never mention that Dallas has two 7 foot players as well

Im really getting tired of these media people, Ant did not call Kyrie out, he literally said..i cant wait to go up against Kyrie, nothing more, nothing less..smh

Can we talk about Jason Kidd? He didn’t need to acquire some”hack-a-Gobert” (or whoever) strategy like one Coach of the Year in previous series against Lively…

Edwards needs to stay humble. They love you & then hate you. Stay focused

Nobody commenting on rebounds: Dallas 48 (11 offensive 37 defensive) vs Minnesota 40 (10-30). For days we were listening how Timberwolves’ “big” will have success against Dallas…

Too many hyped up fans picking favourites. First denver, now wolves? I picked mavs since September. No one believes in luka and kyrie.

kinda funny how they shift just after one game, they were all at wolves bandwagon before but again still love to watch this show haha

Lesson: shut up about the game and just play…Antman mouth wrote a check he couldn’t cash…plain simple.

Can we talk about numbers? 62-38 points in the paint for Dallas. For Days we were listening how Timberwolves size and premium defense will close downhill lines for Dallas’ attacks…

Tired? We didn't here a complain from Jordan, Kobe or Wade being tired

I actually think Edwards gets more energetic and aggressive when he’s amped up. But tonight he couldn’t pop off meanwhile LuKai are busting their asses. At the same time if Edwards mouths off, LuKai WILL respond in kind

Mavs looked more disciplined and poised the entire game, even when they were down. Very impressive work as a team.

Nba desperately searching for their next superstar.. can we just enjoy the sport of basketball!

I said this last series; saying it again. Wolves coaching staff are clueless on momentum control. They can literally watch a lead go away before calling timeout. Makes 0 sense - 4th Quarter Antman and Kat on bench; Mavs make run and a run and a run than a timeout is called after lead goes away. SMH LOL!! They did this with Denver as well.

Anthony "out of gas" Edwards

Damn, I called Mavs in 6 but 6-29 from 3 and still a W that’s crazy.

Them Bars right there “ THAT MAN WON CHAMPIONSHIPS, when you talk to them like that” … let’s go

I'm not sure what's worse in the world of NBA media personalities - Stephan A Smith yelling or Draymond talking at all.

Shaq is great but was also famous for being fat and lazy. His unwillingness to allow for “excuses” is always hilarious

HE WAS GASSED 😂😂😂

If TNT is keeping Draymond as regular....I'm not as sad about them leaving then!

So the NBA and TNT think putting a violent man with poor verbal skills on a media pedestal is a good way to represent the sport?? Seriously?

He called on Kyrie and Kyrie got shit out of him😂

Chuck spitting facts Kat settles for too many threes and Jump shots, use your size to your advantage in the post

kenny simply don't wanna give credit to the mavs. making excuses for the wolves. pushing hard ant to be the face of the nba. this kind of sports analyst should not be shown on tv.

The wolves partied hard after beating the Nuggets you can tell it showed in this game.

The biggest issue is Minnesota has a crappy offense. They have only one play... Give it to Edwards or Towns and hope they can produce a scoring play, or have them pass to waiting three point shootwers in the wings. That is it. They cannot generate consistent offense in endgame situations. They'll be in trouble until they rectify that.

Bruh Minnesota pissed me off with all them stupid turnovers bruh like fkkkkkkkkkkki

The Celtics stole game one with the help of the refs. The Mavs earned it

I know it’s the first game but I’m looking for the kyrie reunion against the Celtics ant talking about he didn’t know what to expect Jamal Murray ain’t kyrie some ppl you just don’t call out !

Ant seems VERY dismissive. One thing about the NBA, you gotta show RESPECT to the Elders man. This will be an interesting series. Go uncle Drew!

"want me to show you ?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Luka gets no love….even Ant ignored him. Hope he drops 40 on em.

Tatum said he was gassed too, playoffs be different! I would too if I had to guard Booker, Beal, KD, Murray, and now Kyrie Luka

Kyrie🐐 gassed that young boy Edwards 😂

love macdaniels thinking outloud " should I leave?" LMAO...

Ay quick question that paper they looking at is that like they stat paper or something?

Draymond killing an already dieing show

They did Kenny dirty with this, can't wait for these guys to move on and collaborate again, same cast new energy ⚡ new format

Truth is Edward’s got humbled by Kyrie. He knows what’s up now

But wait, I thought he was dubbed Jordans son. SMH 🤫

Sarcasm is the best sarcasm..destroyed all narratives of the so called espn NBA experts..🎉😂😂😂😂😂

Young Jordan they say, with 19 pts lmao 🤣🤣

"I want Kiryeeeeeee" Ant Man arrogant Jordan baby 2024

Do you think this crew will ever talk about how good Dallas is as opposed to their opponent having some sort of problems happening? Everyone of them picks Minn to win series and then says "Minn has a lot of problems right now"??? Dallas beat LAC in 6, which they all said was a Finals contender, then they beat the number 1 seed in hyper competitive Western Conference in 6. Dallas is the legit contender.

About tiredness as a convenient excuse after overconfidence and bragging. Mavs played 7 games 1st series, OKC had large rest advantage in 2nd one. In finals is just 2 days difference…

Draymond shut the hell up the is tired from game seven playing in the conference finals before chasing Kyrie and defending on Luka give him a break bro, a man needs his rest. At least he’s being honest.

“You want me to show you?” Chuck is a menace 😂😂

So if they come back and do what they gotta do then ??? The switch ups be so mind boggling

Kenny Smith seems to like playing devils advocate.

Why does it seem like dreymond is always hating?

The young brother, Anthony, showed his inexperience and immaturity to an extent inasmuch as I believe he and thus the team were simply not mentally ready for this next level (conference final) challenge. He and the team were suffering from a “game seven victory” hangover. The “Antman” and crew will be ready on Friday. Sometimes we all need an abrupt “pimp” slap in the face to return to reality. The “Antman’s” continual mental growth and maturity says he will learn from this and be ready, moving forward.

Yeah its Mavericks 6 I would not be surprised if it's 5 the body language on Anthony Edwards does not look the same as it was with Phoenix and Denver.

Ant just gave a bunch of excuses. He called out Kyrie but now he didn't know what to expect from the Mavs.

The Wolves cannot shot 40% from the FT line and expect to win. No one can.

The last 3 is dagger another corner 3 they are good at that

If he didn’t have lime green shoes on you wouldn’t have known Ant was on the court.

It's cool to have confidence but Ant Edward's needs to stop challenging players to the media. Talk your crap on the court when you face your opponent, not to the media. That's like talking shi* about someone, and when you see them you have nothing to say. Whatever you have to say, tell it to the persons face.

Everyone on this panel picked Minnesota.

pleasant voice, nice to listen to

He was up late on the PS5, lol.

You would think the wolves got blown out....lol

Uncle Drew already been there so many times👈 that's why he's got the advantage over ANT

Luka and Kyrie can go for 40 or 50 any given night. Sometimes hearing the media and fans talk you would think one team was professional the other was a recreational team. Kyrie and Kids have won they know what it takes. As far as Ant Man stop it with the MJ comparison it's not the same game.

He's gassed because he's guarding kyrie lol

Edwards being tired is a bad sign for the Twolves. The Mavs and Celtics both have so much more experience and know to make him run and chase all day. I just dont see Edwards as the superstar yet. He has too many up and down gsmes and now seems dead on his feet with so much more baskeball to play. He has plenty of time to rise, just dont see it happening this year.

Mavs gone crush these boys

And just like that…all of sudden the ridiculous Edwards is the next Jordan statements are nowhere to be found. These media personalities out there are such clowns just looking to hype up their next superstar that they can blather and do TV segments about. 🤡🤡

Ant trying to be kob or mj shooting hard contest shots... but people dont know why jordan never likes shooting 3s coz it takes away his game and that is slashing to the basket... when you fall in love with 3 your slashing will be weak and you tends to just shoot bricks... ant should start attacking and pressing mavs guard to react to his attack to open up his teammates... right now with ant the way he playing it would be hard for his team to win... they need someone who can break the defense... ja morant is way unstoppable than ant... this kid needs more years to learn...

The second game is a must win for the Timberwolves.

Ant man didn’t show up at all tonite WTH happened?

Ant ain’t ready for kyrie that’s a different monster

MJ can play 2 18 holes with no sleep and still have the energy for two games sevens

If you’re gassed in game 1, you do t get more wind the longer the series. Your hope is to get done quic for some rest. If he was that tired in game 1 it’s gone be a long series. Especially when he has to guard kyrie all game and then drop 30 on the other end to win. Luka had to learn that hard way, this is why diet matters.

Mouse Mouse is Real old school

Ant man did better than these analysts are saying. The Mavs defense was completely focused on him. The problem is that the other guys didn’t step up and make open shots. The roll players did good early but what about Minnesota’s bigs? Those guys gotta step up of Minnesota has no chance.

Ant n em looked gassed, jokic gassed. Imagine em trying to go to 8 finals runs in a row . Crazy to look back n think.

I think he did put unnecessary pressure on himself with tha Kyrie comments specifically - Uncle Drew is tha best player in basketball (imo) But what do you expect, he’s young, rambunctious & competitive.. which is why people like him

Why does it seem like Dallas has their number. Am I crazy to think the odds are creeping up on a Dallas sweep.

Fearless , Skilled , Kyrie came out making a statement saying " ive been there before""

Bludgeon noun A short heavy club, usually of wood, that is thicker or loaded at one end. A short stick, with one end loaded, or thicker and heavier that the other, used as an offensive weapon. A short, heavy club, often of wood, which is thicker or loaded at one end.

someone at tnt really ruined this show by adding on draymond

Ant got cooked my the most skilled player to ever lace em up, Facts

I remember Chiney said something similar to what Ant man said, this first game is going to be a feel out game and not knowing what to expect.

Where was Mr. DPOY to stop all these dunks?? 😂 I never heard MJ talk about being “tired”

Anthony Edward smile tell you a lot about how this man glowing toward prosperity.....yeah I get it....he learning about himself daily....gotta love how he take accountability of his error

The game should be decided by the players, and here's why it wasn't. There were 4 or 5 phantom calls in the 1st half that helped the Mavs. No contact calls, repeatedly. And on the other end, there 3 or 4 no-calls on blatant fouls when the Wolves were trying to score. They didn't show replays on those plays for the most part, so many didn't notice. But then all the challenges went Mavs way, too. Even the Conley call where Conley lightly tapped someone on the back with the tip of his finger and got called for an over the back foul? I couldn't believe it when the refs watched the replay of that and still called it a foul on Conley. The crowd objected so strongly that they cut the audio for a good 10 seconds on live TV. That ridiculous decision by the refs, even after a challenge, is what set up a huge run for the Mavs, too. Anyway I know people don't like complaining about refs but the reality is that if this game was called fairly the Timberwolves won.

You know its ending when they got LaDraymond on set. He need to go practice for that triple single action.

2:26 Jaden jolted like he been telling Ant he was shooting too many threes in the locker room and Ant wasn’t trying to hear it lol

Why on earth would they want to keep this Kung Fu Master Green here, now I understand why this show going to disappear

Hobert and KAT are the 2 softest big man in the league

Draymond Green at the end on Kd!!! That man won championships when you talk to him like that 😂😂 it wouldn't Draymomd not to say that

He did not in fact “make em next time”
