Here after JJ got the Gob 🤤

here, but p*ssed that one of the best podcasts on NBA basketball is about to go silent. ain't no way coach JJ be letting slip all his strategies... 🤔🤫

Here

😂😂😂

Yup

Shows you how crazy the Herd Mentality is nowadays. 😂

The whiplash broke Mach3 from trashing the best team all season to "this is why they've been the best team all season"

People’s recency bias is so crazy 😂😂it felt like the whole world chose mavs

its dumb really.

Did the same thing with the lakers in 2020. It went from lakers won’t beat Houston and Portland being the greatest 8th seed ever to bubble chip and it doesn’t count

Pritchard is from the mean streets of West Linn, Oregon, of course he’s got street cred.

LBJ has a great eye for players that don't necessarily impact the stat sheet but impact the W/L ratio.

@@lylewalker5681chael sonnen reference?😂

@@Industrious420 Yeah Pritchard is one of those guys with excellent fundamentals. Despite being undersized he's scrappy and often finds himself in the right spot to make a play getting a lot of offensive rebounds for a 6'1 guy. He is really good with the ball in his hands too hardly ever turns it over and makes good decisions.

@@lylewalker5681 Oregon got mean streets ? 😂😂😂

it’s not luka or kyrie they need someone else to step up

​@@Deepsense1but that's the problem. Boston got 5 of the 7 best players in the series. Dallas supporting cast isn't close to what boston has.

Exactly that, if you were to put bostons top 3 options Tatum, JB, and Porzingis on a lesser team, they’d each be first option on offense. Then you have white and Jrue who can be a second offensive option on lesser teams. That’s 5 stars for a starting lineup who all agreed to a role.

5 guys who can score with easy and 5 guys who can defend is wild

If Kristaps is completely healthy and this isn't a flash in the pan, the celtics will probably take this pretty easily. Tatum, Jrue, White, Brown have all been in the finals too and they lost when they should have won. They are hungry. I'm not saying Luka or Kyrie isn't hungry, but I'm saying the celtics are hungrier.

The knowledge they give is priceless

Yes! I LOVE THIS STYLE!! Plus, I trust their opinion

I prefer this over ESPN, FOX SPORTS and TNT any day. I like to hear about sports not bias emotional opinions. This is basketball not a women's talk show

@@waltjones6927 FACTS!

Bodybag‼️

And not to mention they don't give up anything on the defensive end to achieve all that offense either. You can matchup hunt all you want, but everyone in that Celtics lineup can guard 1-5. Even if you try to get to Porzingis, he's so long he can long he can bother just about anybody. Especially someone like Luka, who's not very fast. That said, Luka is still gonna get his no matter what. But for Dallas style of offense, Boston is a very tough matchup.

It ain’t fair. But tbf how can I talk as a gsw fan lol. 5 all star level players. Mad.

D White and Jrue aren’t all stars. Great role players but c’mon

​@@Christian-eq6pq They're playing like all stars though

@@Christian-eq6pqNo White Buffalo slander allowed

ain't no way coach JJ be giving up all his strategies...

@@felipeb.9321 I agree there won’t be episodes during the season but before the new year starts I wonder if there will be any new content. I assume maybe one more episode to close it

@@Alex-yl4mr fingers crossed... failing that, i'll have to go watch them all again 😅

those two won't be friends in two seasons when lebron fires his ass

they got rid of smart cuz he was a regular ignit ninja, not a deep minded hooper

No team in the east was a contender to even challenge boston. They got to rest porzingus for 2 series and now he health for the finals

​@ProfessionalCommentor only the nuggets really has a chance on paper if we're being honest. Celtics have been the best team in the league the whole season this isn't new. They'd win the finals if KP was out just would play a couple more games

I knew True would've fitted tremendously, crazy good player to have in your team

Well actually they used to use Horford to stretch the bigs out in previous years. That's one thing they did in the Phlly series last year to take Embiid out of the lane and win games 6 and 7. One difference with porzingis though is that he's not just a catch and shoot big like al horford often is. They use him for mismatches in those mid range areas a lot and force the defence to collapse on him at times as well. Whereas they usually would just close out on al on behind the arc or just play him one on one on the rare occassions he would be in the post. The problem with Smart was he was a bad outside shooter. Porzingis and Holiday are a huge upgrade.

BIG FACTS! Both Skip & Steven A have ruined ESPN previous daily analysis and inside look of the game with their antics and trying to turn it into a drama hot take network. Stuart Scott and others like him (RIP) or actual “analyst” or former players… we were excited to hear their breakdown and views on the game the night before. This is why Inside the NBA w/Ernie, Shaq, Kenny, Chuck worked so well because they would still go to the board calling out plays and game breakdown. Someone like Skip nor SAS would never be able to be on the floor calling a game, breakdown plays they only have the antics

Skip & Steven A are absolute trash

Yeah, player podcasts is a big middle finger to the scripted bullshit we see on these other shows. What they do is more like marketing as opposed to game analysis, although you can argue player podcasts are also selling the game to audiences, but taking a more enriching approach

TA-RUE!

Skip bayless is trash

Yea all Chet and kat had to do was do what KP did go to the midrange against smaller defenders

I think that Mavs will respond well and make it a good series, but I agree that they are outgunned.

porzigis was quiet second half 😅😅😅😅

​@@jeffdbd96 up 29 Pts I'd be happy to 😂😂😂

⁠@@HenrySuggs-by5ndissue is…..Chet and KAT don’t have as good of a team around them. Plus Porzingus better than both.

I think the more we support podcasts like this the more we go from Stephen A, Mad dog , Nick Wright .. to former players talking basketball. I’d love to see Lebron retire and have his own show alongside the likes of Barkley

Pretty much every podcast analyzing the game is better than ESPN unless you want to hear stupid hot takes

Tim Legler goated tho

I mean they are playing it... if you find eloquent professional in any field they will always explain thingsbetter than someone who studies it but doesnt ultimately practise in that field hard part is to find said eloquent professionals never liked Bron, but ever since his 2nd coming to Cleveland, I remember interviews where I went "damn this guy observes and knows a lot and can present that knowledge in such a fluent manner", and generally one of his most underapreciated parts (from fans, hater and Bron himself) is his actual basketball IQ and not his physicality

Bro was a monstar😭

Even if they send more attention to Porzingis. It opens it up even for the Jays and the shooters around the 3 point line. That is the beauty of having the Unicorn.

It’s not even about porzingis. This series comes down to hitting open shots, 3s in particular. Dallas has moved thru the playoffs by being able to trap and contain other players in space, tough to do to Boston when they all shoot. J Kidd got some homework to do

Or Tatum, Brown, White and Holiday. Any one of them could go off. Collectively, they're the most dangerous team.

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Floored every time I listen to this dude. Makes you think that he must be going home and reading and watching film but you know he isn't which means he is just really goddamn smart.

Basic basketball lol y’all be overly impressed by some wild stuff

@@brandonpenn9887 Oh, thanks John Wooden.

@@brandonpenn9887 yeah Brandon penn, you surely know more ball than bron and JJ. Go ahead and start your podcast. Causal

@@user-fb2kb4wp7sactually lebron is known for doing his homework and watching film on every team and knowing tendencies and the whole 9 yards and he’s got photographic memory which is why when he hops on a podcast you get so much knowledge but he can’t spill all the beans your right though I’m amazed too

And he still got the bag twice lol

him as iso guy? lol he was never iso guy....iguodala was running pg, tf you are saying, also ai was still in philly 2009-2010...he plays same way in boston as he played in philly...reason he is a great fit.

Draymond said it the best one time something along the lines of, every NBA player was among the best on their HS/College team and most could do everything exceptionally well, but to be great NBA player, its about being specialist, and being the best in what is asked from you, not in every aspect of the game

Wrong. His best year there before they decided to tank Jrue had the keys and was known for his quickness and crossover he wasn’t posting up small guards like he does now. You don’t know what you’re talking about

Me too😄

@@Versac3eidk if your joking or not but still stfu 😂

You called it.

Pep was at the game last night I believe lol

@@cadenleland2713 Damn

@@cadenleland2713he was he and mazulla were talking before the game and stuff . Great minds think alike

Pep is a huge inspiration to Mazzulla and they've seemingly become friendly if not friends recently.

JJ said he wanted to show the game the right way, he's consistent in all his platforms with that message. I respect it

Agreed

Porzingis is kinda what OKC hopes Chet Holmgren will be.

Wemby already look like that, in fact he had even better stretch/games, not in the Playoffs sadly but you’ll soon see him, he’ll have serie averaging 6-7 Blocks, 15 rebounds, completely shutting down the opponent offense, all while being unguardable on offense … Wemby is already better than Porzingis lol, in his prime he won’t score 20pts, 6 rebounds and 3 Blocks like Porzingis, it’ll be 40pts, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 5 Blocks .. This will be the average Wemby game, insane stats and impact just like prime Bron, MJ, Shaq, Duncan or Jokic, we are talking about a futur GOAT not a star role player like Porzingis .. If Wemby had a super stacked team like Celtics, like let’s say he had Banchero (Who’s on Tatum level imo) at the 4, Ingram (J.Brown) at the 3, Caruso (D.White) at the 2 and Dejounte Murray (Jrue) at the 1 … That team would also be unstoppable 🤷🏾‍♂️

Now it makes more sense when people would joke that lebron acts like his teams GM!

This is why he’s hated … for being great

​@@ashez45ifysadly this is true. But it says more about the Internal misery and insecurities of people who hate him than anything else. Usually they hate themselves also.

​@Diesel-le5fx "Ain't no party like a diddy party"🎉🕺🏽

@@ashez45ifyNo that’s not it what a silly little man you are 😂

Does not end anything you cant grab and pull in this era so its not the same. You can't knock people out the air. If you can't hand check michael jordan hes avg 50 easy work 😂😂😂😂

@@blockbullyrecords54173 points is worth more than 2, and the new era would put loads more 3s in for sure.

@@byrondemaker No they wouldn't because grabbing someone wouldn't be a tech coming down on someone's leg wouldn't be a tech. People like raja bell Matt Barnes made their living off of going under shooters making it uncomfortable to land. Bro im telling you this era is too soft the rules then would never let you go off unless you a great.

100% correct. There is just so much more strategy and movement thanks to spacing.

@@blockbullyrecords5417 "Injuring people is what made the game great"

Every team is unstoppable when everyone is shooting well, but what happens when one or two guys aren't, the opposition knows that and let's then jack up shots and try and drive to the hoop? That's when we'll find out what they're made of.

Celtics have 4 starters that can drive and dish to the open 3 shooter. The Celtics have 5 3 point shooters on the court at all times. The only way they can lose is if they shoot horribly from 3.

@@kifley19 yeah and that happens to every team, shooting goes cold, runs are made. Everyone tries to sound smart with basketball analysis but it's a make or miss league, just about every game comes down to who made their 3s.

@@DavidLee-cw6ci or just say you can't keep up with the analysis. These are NBA players those nights are few and infrequent.

@@akshatmisra767 dude just look up a random sample of box scores, who took more 3s, and who made them at a higher clip. You can scheme to get better shots, everybody does and should, but a lot of times when teams lose it's just shots not dropping.

Literally a cheat code lol. Especially when he’s hitting 3s from 30 ft 😂. Impossible to stop

Loveee to see it!!

​@@cvgodd1432 7'3 pulling up from 30 is crazy, I'm pissed off.

I also feel like we're gonna win because Luka is t helsthy his knee was bothering him yesterday

they starve kyrie and cast, let luka cook, keep going at luka with that hurt knee too make him gas out as well. Gotta bully their opponents in the paint, celtics can't get comfortable on 3s when they are up by 10-20pts

​@@DevonMontaguehealthy enough to put up 30 points. I don't wanna hear that

@@DevonMontagueI knew it I knew it was coming the knee excuses. He wasn’t injured talking shit to the clippers and wolves

Kai just missed a bunch of open shots he wasn't really starved to be fair,just like Tatum he was nervous​@@grandecc2567

The main reason the Celtics are consistently a top defense is because they get players they know will communicate.

The players and the coaches probably do. The problem is the front office and ownership.

The problem is the shooting of the players. You can execute this one but how about the shooting?. Look at dlo vs Denver on and off nights even with no defender

I think Kobe would’ve had his own podcast with somebody else to be honest

@@Thrashippie 🤣 true, he was already headed in that direction, especially after winning an Oscar

he got destroyed on a couple screens too and popped up just fine, jrue is a tank

He knows more than alot of the coaches too😂😂

@@waltjones6927 He does and so did Jordan and Magic and Bird and maybe a few others. It must be a challenge to "coach" a player like that - more like "manage". Phil Jackson was the master of it.

@@user-fb2kb4wp7s Lebron didn't know much when Rondo was a real floor general in 08. He went to Miami and started to study the game. go back and watch LeBron vs the Celtics in 08 vs 09.

The Goat LMAO All Time Great Best Player of his Generation. Let’s leave it there .Extremely High Basketball IQ here

It helpd when you got 5 guys that can knock down 3s too

I been saying that how tf the salary cap allow that . NBA is fraud for that

Whose the 3rd for the Mavs?

8/10 and were you not aware of this? They have been good all year.

They never play fair, otherwise they wouldn't be the evil they are

6 out of the top 8 players

To be fair LeBron never faced the Kawhi Raptors or prime Giannis Bucks

except none of those east teams were on the level of the spurs or rockets either that's why the east was weak. toronto was the second most unlikely nba champion since 2004 and led by a player FROM THE WEST lol you're acting like it was a given that they were gonna win when lebron left

@@Jeremy-ot6pb That's how sports is though, maybe those teams were great, but still lost to Bron. This like how people discredit Mike Tyson because the people he beat weren't stars or champions. I mean yeah they weren't because he was there.

@@PayAttEx you completely missed my point and made this all about lebron. the east as a whole was weaker than the west it wasn't just the kd warriors the spurs and the rockets were also better than any of the east teams.

@@Jeremy-ot6pb Yeah bro the east was mega weak for a whole decade and then the moment Bron left it became good. The Bron hate be so refined it usurps logic but I honestly respect it.

I said the same thing.

Call me crazy but I think Lively can. Obviously not lock him down but the Mavs really didn’t throw him at KP because he was in foul trouble and they valued him in backside rim protection

@@Chrisd0ntmisslively can guard kristap but that means lively will have to be out on the perimeter and that means the paint is wide open for Tatum or brown to go to the rim! Booyah!

derrick jones jr can hold his own the way jason kidd operates is in the first game of every series he runs a crazy deep rotation just to see what he likes and what doesn't work. the mavs had 12 different guys get minutes they lost game 1 while they were away ppl are overreacting way too much lol

@@JuanDoe666yup, Dallas has to basically pick their poison. It also doesn’t help that Dallas tends to switch when Porzingis is the screener and he ends up being guarded by Luka or Green or another small body

No one. Lively tried but he was honestly fouling alot. If KP wants to, he can get lively in foul trouble easy. No experience.
