Who thinks Kyrie's 16 performance was a fluke?

Lebron fanboys do smh

​@@dreadlove3931The LeGAWK GAWK gang can gag on a ........

Kyrie proved he is a Robin that has to be carried. His scoring is poor, he missed 2 FTs in the final minutes. Those couple of 3s is all he did entire game offensively.

13 points in the 4th quarter 😂

Exactly. Luka always sees victory in the ink dots.

That's me 😂

​@@rektz2457nah The next Westbrick 😂

People act like Ant is some young precocious boy, then Luka is literally only 2-3 years older and has been HIM for 4-5 years already.

I mean, this is undeniable.

Lebron already had 4 playoff game winners by his 6th season.

@@jaydot4956 luka has played much tougher competition to this day than LeBron in year 6.

Jordan Clarkson is probably fair comp in the last 4-5 games 😉

The Wolves aren’t “whimpering they lost by a combined 6 points in the last two games

It certainly seems as if he does, and they do.

Yeah, does he really? What about all those series lost being up 2-0. 3-2 and losing in 7. Or being mishandled by the Warriors

This is all he has ever done, just basketball🤡

​@@MarkLaw13he finally has help and defense now

@@genocidehero9687 Kawhi was injured. He ain't no bum. Also, OKC only had SGA with the Playoffs experience. Timberwolves is the first healthy team they've faced but also, they've just been through a tough 7 games.

He's 22. Been in the league for 4 years. No proper conditioning. That's on him. But Ant man won't see it. He's Jordan for sure. Temu Jordan. Face of Walmart

​@@prasetad8887There's no way he doesn't have proper conditioning atp.

Getting tired is not an excuse here, he looks tired in 1st quarter, how did that happen

@@noonmoom9615 Ant wanted all the smoke so Kyrie gave him a chimney

Sadly The european hating media will never except them as that but Nikola and Luka are the best in the league for sure

one word tatum

Sadly they hate them becoz they're europeans. NBA media talks shit about them and praise highly those team with American star players

@@togfanatic3781 well except tatum, idk why they hate the guy so much

@That-One-Spy-Main A game that was invented by a man of European heritage to teach teamwork and reward unselfishness has been inverted and turned on its head. It like the NFL and even Nascar are nothing more than propaganda machines that have been weaponized against the people who watch them.

And I don't say this to hate on Ant I am a fan of him and love his leader mentality I just hate this Jokic disrespect of people saying he is a choker or not the real MVP when the guy visibly carries his team to levels that these other guys can't despite him having one of the worst supporting cast in the playoffs

Ant is the next LeBron James. The media is just going to blame Ants teammates and not him when they lose even though he's supposed to be the next MJ according to the lemedia

⁠@@That-One-Spy-MainGobert does have a history of being hunted on defense. Ant’s been doing great the past two series but he’s getting humbled cause Luka and Kyrie aren’t Booker and Jamal Murray. Jokic did choke. But the disrespect and hate he gets from it is unreal since he carried the Nuggets for at least 7 years and already won a title.

​@@rektz2457the media might treat him like The Queen, but his attitude says otherwise. Hopefully, he doesn't go don't that route of being a baby on and off the court in the future.

Now Minnesota is in the same situation that Denver was, and Denver came back with 3 wins in a row. Jokic had similar stats that Luka had in his first game against Wolves, and Dallas won that game. Difference is that Luka have supporting cast that actually can play. Jokic averaged 55% fg in those playoffs, and he led in all points, rebounds and assists in the series against Wolves.

This doesn't make sense?

@@pandabeer3688 wdym?

@@pandabeer3688it does though

@@pandabeer3688 It does. They where down by one point. And if Ant is the best player on their team, he should've driven to the basket. This game, Reid looked like the best player.

That's exactly what lebron did for 20 years

The amount of jinxing that the media gives players needs to be studied

I AM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT WITH YOU ON ALLLLL OF THIS.

For me it's his mouth that's the problem. He talks a lot for someone who is playing like trash. Especially that game 7.

why let trash media influence your thoughts on a player even slightly

Best thing is just to ignore LeMedia.

Kinda sounds like you're saying it's the media's fault he's playing like trash which, of course, is insane.

Exactly 😂😂😂that shit is crazy , but don’t say nun cause them ant fans will Glaze him

LOL I'm certainly not bashing Rudy, though he did get cooked alive on that game winner. But I am squarely blaming Edwards. People wanted to talk shit me all last series last series for "not remaining consistent with criticism of Jokic 🤣🤣🤣. Jokic was delivering 29 points per game, 11 rebounds and 7 assists on 51%. HIS TRASH ASS TEAMMATES were all shooting sub 30s. IN THIS SERIES the TEAMMATES ARE SHOWING UP and its EDWARDS who is shooting sub 30s. If he was playing MEDIOCRE basketball, they'd be up 2-0.

Ant and Towns should be getting trashed right now. Gobert had more points than Towns. This should not be Naz Reid getting the majority of points. In this series, it should be Towns who leads the team in points.

Great point. Maybe that's how the NBA will protect an anointed?

@@skap_attackif the wolves won both games and Edwards scored a bronny James like 5 points he would get all the credit from Edwards glazers and the media 😂😂😂😂 omg that ending was a masterpiece 😂😂😂 Jessica

Shaq did dummy..

If Draymond had some self-accountability, his criticism of others would be better received. But we all know he's a child who admits no fault, so it's obnoxious to hear MR. TRIPLE SINGLE run his mouth

Stop comparing him to other players, he is not MJ and he is not Lebron. Let him build his own legacy.

MJ is a once in a million years player. No One will really fill those shoes. Ant needs to grow up.

and passing up a game deciding shot for a 3 pointer from their 6th man, not starter, 6th man. A very Lebron James move.

Quit the BS, ant is his own player, stop making stupid assumptions just because you don’t like him.

@@Amperall He needs to be his own man. LeBron is not a good example to follow. Ant needs to stay humble and refocus. He's a fine young talent and has his entire career ahead of him. He can choose to be a smack talking stat padder or a true team leader who delivers. It's up to him. Nothing stupid about urging him to do those things.

I mean, this is certainly unexpected...at least to me...

Hey cardboard is really hard to fold lol. Especially the thick ones 🤣

@@detectivemarksevenUnless it’s pre-creased cardboard can be a bitch to fold.

@@skap_attackProbably because they’re too tired after that grueling 7 game matchup against Nuggets

​@@thomasgrabkowski8283 How was it grueling exactly? They breezed past the Suns who are bums, got a bunch of rest then went up against the Nuggets and it was just blowout after blowout where they either played low effort offense and scored garbage points or were so far behind they gave up Game 7 was the only one you could argue was "grueling" but so what? Mavs had to go through the Clippers in 6 who had Westbrook trying to injure Luka and actually succeeded in part, the series was also very physical with refs calling very few fouls (except Harden he kept getting ridiculous calls). They then went up against a fresh OKC team who also came off a sweep and was well rested and they had Dort constantly flopping under Lukas feet mid run, Dort slamming Luka on the floor face first, shoulder tackling everybody etc. It also went to game 6 and there were multiple close tough matches. Mavs have had a FAR MORE "grueling" playoffs and Luka is playing on 1 knee yet we're supposed to excuse the Wolves for being "tired"?

The wolves has been built to destroy nuggets based on their GM, but i guess they forgot there are other teams in the NBA

It’s always been that way.

Luka being overweight doesn't look good, when he's having lower body injuries.

That was 5 years before Kobe's prime, so he wouldn't have destroyed anyone.

What's crazy is that might be in the back of their minds too. Luka was very close friends with Jokic, and Kyrie was very close friends with KD

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean to be fair, not being put in the game for the last 9 minutes didn’t give him a chance to prove himself. Shows a lot about how the coach feels about him though.

@@joshahlstrom2764 Reid was 7/9 from three.

@@penkima4923 what are you saying if they subbed out Luka Dončić and Tim Hardaway Junior hit two or three threes in row they would bench Luka Dončić for the rest of the game? You make zero sense

This.

Havent done anything yet. 2 more hard wins

KAT used to be the laziest player in the league. Gobert was able to force KAT to play decent defense this season. And KAT gives zero praise back to Gobert.

He got benched for the last 8:40 of the game lol. That's really tough for a supposed star player.

Idk if this is hot take, but Naz Reid is really earning my respect. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s as good or better than KAT by the end of next season. Another example of a guy who was bafflingly overlooked coming out of college. Like 30 teams seriously saw a 6’10 guy with some guard skills and a soft shooting touch and said “nah” twice.

@@mattdeluccia153 The issue is the NBA is full of those people on the bench the key is doing it consistently in real games. Which is hard when you get 5-10 minute's to prove yourself as the third option.

People were telling me my boy SGA was trash and a bum compared to Ant. They’re real quiet right about now.

@@joshahlstrom2764 As a Mavs Fan: SGA was awesome in the series. He was a guaranteed bucket from mid, and almost unstoppable to guard. Can't say the same for Ant. Just close the paint, and he'll have a hard time scoring. Luckily for the wolves, their role players are stepping up, but it wasn't enough.

@@maduit Because SGA has a bag and if you close the paint he’ll kill you in the midrange or if you think the paint is closed he’ll do some crazy moves and score anyways. Ant is way behind Shai in terms of counters and pull-up game. He’s 3 years younger so he could get better but right now? Nah. These people saying otherwise are crazy.

LOL did you see the video I dropped about him after game 7 that got me ABSOLUTELY SCORCHED? In the comments there I was dragged for being an Ant Man HATER. But literally last round I WAS the one comparing him to Jordan and Kobe LOL. It's ok to change your mind when new information becomes available, and I am seeing a lot damn new information right now...

Ant Man still like Kobe, going 5 for 17 is a vintage Kobe performance.

@@skap_attack 99 % of all media called Ant's 6/24 shooting in game 7 a masterpiece. You called it what it factually was: A choke. And you received a massive backlash, because you disagreed with the mainstream media hype. That just shows why ESPN and other garbage networks fabricate narratives out of thin air. It's because masses of people buy into them. It also shows the quality of journalism in this new internet media. None of these people have interest in journalists' ethics. They are sports entertainers. They come up with lies, to get clicks, and to hype carefully chosen athletes. You're not always on point with your rants. But you redeemed a whole lot by calling Ant's performance, what it actually was. Momentarily, you were the only real reporter in the basketball sphere.

@@booJayNah that’s a LeBum stat, choking in the clutch.

It's crazy to me to see everyone trashing Ant and Gobert. Yes, If the Wolves want to have a chance in this series, then AE has to be better for sure, but he's also barely old enough to drink. So let's calm down on both sides. Stop overhyping him just because he's a good American player who is charismatic and funny in videos. Everyone knows that in the playoffs, against the best players in the NBA, Gobert is almost unplayable in clutch moments. He can't move well enough to cover guards consistently and gets cooked out on the perimeter. Let's not forget that it was KAT that got benched for most of the 2nd half. He's an all-star caliber player, and the team couldn't trust him in the biggest moments of their season last night... that's where all the blame should be aimed. I say all this as a huge Mavs fan. Luka and KY > Ant and KAT!!!

I agree!

Without Kyrie there is no championship for LeBron in Cleveland. Kyrie has nothing to prove.

Even that is a bad analogy considering the numbers that MJ was putting up against them.

Jordan was cooking the Larry Bird Celtics with 30+ a game. Yes he lost but you can't deny that Jordan was hands down the best player on the court at all times. Anthony Edwards and Luka still haven't proven anything in the NBA compared to what Larry Bird and Jordan did at the ages of 22-25 years old. As a matter of fact, those two haven't even past what Dwayne Wade did at his young age either. These two are talented but they are not legendary.

@@IceColdKeizWhat? Luka and Jordan’s stats are essentially on par with each other. Jordan didn’t win his first ship till his 7th season at age 28.

​@BSHU07 you're pathetic

To be fair, those where to exciting games, that came down to the wire.
