Celtics

They are ahead... Again. This year's NBA is 3 and D. Warriors are a team and play the game the right way.

Ya Im a Mavs fan and when they went cold the Dubs went to the cup chipping away like a veteran team... Then the crowd was back and they were back.. Warriors are just a better team and its obvious. 👍✌️

@@tacotom3492 Respect! 🤝🏽

I agree with everything you said.

Warriors fan here. Mavs should’ve won last night. Hands down. The 3s stopped raining and they stopped making the easier shots. Only scored 13pts in Q3. GSW made easy shots in the paint and under the rim in the 2nd half. They scored 43 in Q4 alone! Yeah 3s helped, but they had the easy shots driving through the paint. This series is gonna go to at least 6 I think. But I believe that GSW is gonna win the west.

LoL very early

Nah he’s not clutch in finals lol Klay had a more efficient game with less shots. When it counts that’s when Curry disappears in finals it’s why Iguodala and kd got finals mvp and Draymound Green almost won it in 2016

@@osas5211 where is kd now? 🤣

@@luciniho1 the difference is that the Warriors continue to play even when getting beat the hell out of and don’t quit unlike the suns.

Let's see if golden state can afford to keep this team intact.

@Mdk lol 😆

​@Mdk Couple points: -Lacob and Myers have already shown they're willing to pay big money to remain competitive. They'll have to make some tough calls in 2-3 years, but they have more flexibility than you think. -Curry will be 38 when his contract ends. Yes he'll be making almost 60 million in the final year but in the 2-3 years until then, he'll be worth it to slightly overpaid depending on how he ages. -Looney may want more money, true. And he's earned that raise. I don't foresee another team throwing him much more than say 10-15 mill a year. The Warriors and him will likely come to an agreement. -Porter was never a long term prospect; he's in a mutually beneficial situation where he signs on for a year to a contender at the vet minimum and provides his services, while the team allows him to show he can stay healthy and contribute to winning, allowing him to secure a bag elsewhere the next year. -Kuminga's extension isn't mandatory until 2025/26, a year after Klay and Dray's contracts have expired, 2 years after Wiggin's has expired. The front office will have to make some tough calls then, yes. But by that point they will likely know who they prefer to invest in. Will the Warriors keep 100% of this team? No. But this team only has 4 players from that original nucleus in 2015 (1 being Iggy who isn't even playing rn), and they're still trucking along. They know how to retool. They'll be fine.

When Warriors win the championship this year, it will show more how weak KD move was even more.. An it will also show Durant can't win without Steph. Steph may also slowly pass Durant overall also as as player when they past primes an both retire which I hope is no time soon.

@Mdk LMFAOO MARK CUBAN DAT U?😭😭😭

I disagree. The Mavs got wide open 3s the first 6 mins of the 3rd. Brunson hit one but that's it, they missed all the rest.

@@frankl3518 law of averages. Like shaq said at halftime they couldn't keep shooting that well the whole game. Warriors just kept playing the right way and waited for those shots to start clanking

Which game were you watching? Mavs had open 3s in the 2nd half and just missed them

The warriors had open shots too in the first half but they realize if shots don't fall you start driving in for lay ups and dunks..I mean Klay had 2 dunks😂😂

@@frankl3518 nah there was a clear difference they may have missed some opens shots, but the number of contested shots was much more significant. Almost every 3 in the first half was wide open and nobody would rotate to help.

Minus Dinwiddie. Dallas played there best game and lost. You guys will understand warriors is a different monster

too much for them in general. warriors in 5

5+ 3-pointers…. From doncic,Brunson and bullock. They need help. They need someone to get rebounds like how looney is for GSW.

What do you mean "you feel for him"? Brunson had 30, Bull 21 and they scored 117 points. The issue was that Luka played ZERO defense. The Mavs were picking on him all night on defense.

Not just tonight playa

Yes he doesn't need to drop 40+ for the dubs to win, he trusts his teammates, by the way, not throwing shade at anybody

Looney by far, not even close, was the best player on the court today not Steph.

@@joeku2004 the mavs don’t have the bench or role players the warriors do. The mavs bench shows up every few games. Way to inconsistent 👍

@@Name-jw4sj Looney delivered tonight for sure but the original comment didn't suggest that Curry was MVP in this game.

@@Name-jw4sj steph is the reason they were kept in the game + he scored 10 points in last 6 minutes in the clutch... Got 32 points... Looney scored 21 because steph get all the attention

Warriors really are lightyears ahead.

W comment. Everyone thinks Dubs is nothing but 3's

@@saucyscone Super-team a warriors musical reference?

If you cut off the 3's, they will cut you in the paint......

@@timothyhilton3408 especially when you have no rim protecting and small forwards

🤣🤣🤣🤣 don’t count on it

Metta already achieved.. he has a ring with the Lakers

we dead

Kobe has 1 more than Shaq!

He ain’t work dat hard to not talk about them mfs all the time

They didn't let the Warriors score. They just got outplayed in the second half

Only Bulloco Brunson and Luka played, the whole rest of the team was pure garbage

The mavs live and die by the 3, it’s simple as that!

Luka had to score aomost all those points in the last six minutes for the fourth quarter.

Warriors Defense adjustments started in the 3rd. But also really really odd adjustment by Jason Kidd to keep switching Luka on Looney. That changed the game.

ikr Chuck is hypocrit. In prior years, Chuck hated Warriors' style of chucking 3s. But now Mavs are chucking even more 3s than Warriors, yet still bandwagon on the team opposing the Warriors. /smh

CHUCK DA HATER!!!!

Lol he’s just having fun, don’t think he legitimately hates like Skip over the years or Perk this season

@@javierleija523 I agree. Chuck is fine. If you wanna use the word hate, I think its synonymous to Skip or Perk.

He’s just trolling

Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis...?

Google me.

@@rajdhiman2945 yes, and the new kids on the BLOCK to night

Shaquille “google me chuck” O’Neal

It is impressive tho. 4 rings 3 finals MVPS 2 different teams. 3 peated.

That was hilarious 😂

The irony, shows how far ahead they are of everyone else as an organization. Everyone thinks they win because they shoot 3s, but it's their ability to find the opponent's weakness and adapt endlessly.

ergo... Kerr!

The difference is GSW gets their 3's from driving & getting touch fouls for and ones. Then knowing the opponent is frustrated they set moving picks (nevrholdong a set screen position) then they start busting 3's.

@@benjaminwilkinson9675 and to make sure they're a top defensive team. So many sleep on that cause they small.

Luka doesn't play defense.

If they tighten interior defense it would open up 3's. Pick your poison

Bro. Dallas gameplan was to run them off the 3 point line but unlike other 3 pointer teams they do on occasion destroy teams with mid range and layup. You have to pick the less of 2 evils. Are you giving up the 3 or the 2 be abuse the warriors offense is going to get a quality shot everytime

Klay sliced through Poole looked too fast Curry did his thing than they added looney into the mix when they picked them up the interior points won that game for sure

Luka is just too slow on the defense end and clogs the paint which gives GS a clear path to the basket. There is 0 fear with them in driving to the basket lol.

Warriors aren't serious until the 3rd anyways. Teams be counting the dub too early

Great analogy

the dallas rockets

Problem for the Mavs wasn't scoring, though that slowed in the 2nd half the problem was they didn't defend well enough and allowed countless offensive rebounds which lead to 2nd chance points

@@dwanadoni they scored 72 in the first half and 45 in the second so scoring was part of the problem. They made 15 3s in the first half, only 6 in the second. They regressed in the second half shooting wise. Golden State is a great shooting team but they will still score if the 3pt shot isnt falling. They had 62 points in the paint which means they were still getting to the basket. Dallas lives and dies by the 3. If it falls its a blowout (like it did in game 7 vs PHO) they win, if it doesnt they are in trouble.

Nah warriors winning 4-0

@@joshrod6911 I think it’s reasonable to expect GSW to split on the road

it’ll go 6

@@joshrod6911 warriors gonna lose game 3 probly but they gonna finish it in 5 or 6

Everyone expect warriors to lose game 3 in Dallas, even me and ima warriors fan but if we steal one in Dallas and come home, it’s over. If they steal game 3 it might be a 🧹

I feel like in order for mavs to beat GS in game 3, they have to be up by 20 to 30pts until the 4th because golden state is a 2nd half team, u can’t have a lead within arms reach or they’ll always find a way to come back

Like the WCF with the Rockets in 2018, the Rockets were up 3-2, and in game 6, the Rockets had an 18 point lead in the 1st qtr and the Warriors won in a blowout. In game 7, the Rockets had a 16 point lead in the 2nd qtr. You’re going to need a bigger cushion than that. This team is similar to the 2018 team. You need to blowout the Warriors. If it’s a close game, Steph and the Warriors will find a way to win.

You can’t outshoot the warriors..

We dem boiiiisssss!!!

@@alexanderjackson8389 as a Mavs fan I agree.. Chances are slim. I knew if Mavs dont win game 2 the series is over most likely.

@@alexanderjackson8389 when will teams learn!! Every team has tried it and had failed (rockets😂😂)

@@jeremymarino955 Dallas outshot/made more 3s.. It was the penetration. They had alot more buckets in the paint. Did you.not watch the game? .. 🙄🤡✌️

Yep. I don't think anyone's beating them either.

Sure blame it on Luka when they scored 63 points in the paint. Mavs need a rim protector like Gobert. Kleber and Powell are too small.

@@user-pb2ym6zw6t warriors doesn't even have a rim protector it's just a fair fight stop complaining

@@user-pb2ym6zw6t rim protectors? Same could be said for the Warriors, Looney isn't big enough.

@@user-pb2ym6zw6t kleber and Powell are bigger than looney lol

That’s all that roster can do. Good enough to outshoot some better teams occasionally but not well constructed. They still need work before they’re championship level

He deserves it

Lol

Nobody can jinx a game.

You mean Houston like harden?

Doncic is gassed by the 4th. Even on a good day.

Warriors is a different animal. What separates them from other teams is you can find a sample size version of other teams. You can't find a sample size of golden state. You can only try to figure golden state out by playing them

If only he played in those cake walk east conference bron used to play lol

@@aesir1ases64 he played better competition than the warriors in the playoffs the warriors played teams with way less all stars than them

@@aesir1ases64 if curry played in the east he would have no rings he would not get past jimmy butler, Jason Tatum or Giannis

@@nellydavis7645 stop why you say the "warriors” and not just Steph. If curry was in the east he would not have got to the finals you off the crack if you think he better than jimmy butler or Tatum

Lo creir!!

Ya Im a Mavs fan.. I told myself if they lose game 2 its over.. Its over.. 😪👍✌️

@Mdk lol 😆 😂 salty 2-0 baby!!!

@Mdk whoa Charles Barkley? Huge fan. And by fan I mean I love watching the live TV therapy session you do every night. Keep up the good work

Agreed. This game sealed the series in my opinion especially the way they lost

@Mdk Warriors ain't a superteam no more. KD gone

He's playing the "heel". I like it hahaha I think he does too

It was non stop. I was there. It was insanely loud. Shaq was loving every minute of it…

No. The warriors have the best offensive sets I've ever seen.

They do not have all stars at every position they just have a really good offense formulated by Steve Kerr with a lot of high iq players that know exactly how to run it

Their defense collapsed massively and missed too many shots they should’ve made A big reason why they lost

Yeah they can’t pull a game 5 again like in Memphis. But I don’t think they will. They are super close to another Finals, that should be all the motivation they need.

This series is going 5 max

@@eliaskouakou7051 yeah all it takes is one win in Dallas and the Warriors are undefeated in the playoffs at home so 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@eliaskouakou7051 looking like 4 max

Easier said than done. Especially when you legs are gone after 3 quarters

They did outshoot the Warriors.. The Warriors buckets in the paint were more than double. You watch the game? 🤔🤣✌️

They don’t have a big man or a solid defender who can lock some one down or make a key defensive play plus Looney is contributing big time

They can (and did) outshoot the Warriors, but their interior defense was garbage.

@@SmoothLion78 you've got boban, Powell or kliba whatever his name is and you still need a big man.. 🤣🤣🤣 warriors doesn't even have a legit big man so it's a fair play..

Vintage Warriors tbh

You also need 2 if the greatest to ever do it!

Right, like in the movies and they play that music then everything starts to turn around for them and they come out with the win, that’s exactly how golden state played lol

😂😂😂😂fr

How was the 2015 warriors a super team?

saying they are not super is plain incorrect.

They're already a super team

@@margad-erdeneamgalanbaatar5028 they look like a super team because they're maximizing the talent of absolutely every player on their roster. No one in the warriors rotation would look as good on another team

Warriors won a ring without kd…….

Pop's pupils face to face can be an exceptional wine cru for basketball savants

Celtics would destroy GSW

@@acruse5155 don't know about that. but GSW is destroying MAV, and put the young kids to sleep already.

@@acruse5155 i'll comeback to this comment section. let's see. i know the C's has the edge this year of winning the chip. but you never know. ball is round

@@alwayswannafly6338 GSW is just lucky to vs a team that cracks under pressure. I mean missing wide open threes are pathetic and that’s what Dallas has been doing all series, they play scared and nervous, Celtics do the best under pressure and they are a great road team, they will actually beat GSW at home, and GSW sucks on the road so yeah GSW us screwed in the finals

He was always out of position to get the rebound. They play 5 out lol

Agree Maxi and Dinwiddie were utter garbage. Idk how Kidd left them in for so long.

Powell is pretty bad too but at least he tries. Kleber only wants to shoot 3s

He gets minutes because the Mavs have no one else!! They have absolutely no depth! Y’all are acting like Kleber and Dinwiddie and the Mavs are some DUDES. Y’all have Luka and Brunson. Dinwiddie, Finney-Smith, Bullock, and Powell are WAY too inconsistent and just aren’t fucking good enough. Playoff averages for those players: Dinwiddie 13, Finney 11, Bullock 10 and Powell 9. That’s just not gonna get it done in a 7 game series against this warriors team.

you are right, warriors are not suns. so don't expect too much now.

Kobe played with Shaq and went to am already good team

What’s tough is that they actually shot the three as good as you could hope and there’s no way they’d be able to shoot this will for another 5 games.

That's just a matchup issue. Mavs don't have a center, nobody to guard the paint. Of course the Warriors are going to abuse that

21/45 is a great percentage. They just need to defend better.

Problem is they don’t have the personal for that. Love my mavs but they HAVE to get a center to balance out the three game.

No, they need to STOP them inside.

Lol no

@@mainecanoe Lol there will never be a more dangerous team.

They've owned the 3rd quarter since 2014

Coming back on a one dimensional team in Dallas is way easier than coming back on a spectacular team like the Celtics. If Celtics had a 19 point lead on GSW at half it would be over for GSw

That's why I call the the 2nd Half Comeback Kings

@@christianlloydaguila8427 yeah picking on young and inexperienced one dimensional teams makes them kings, it’s gonna be mad funny in the finals when they get swept by the Celtics LOL
