JJ Redick, Kendrick Perkins on Mavs vs. Celtics Finals Match-Up 

This Mavs lineup is 27-6. Just beat a 57 win 1 seed, a 56 win 3 seed, and a 51 win 4 seed all on the road in less than 7 games.

JJ is exposing everyone's agendas

JJ talks to Perk like if Perks watched the games 🤣

Perk is just such a 🤡 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Every time JJ talks, it should start with Tom Hanks in Sully saying “can we all get serious now?”

Celtics getting the ESPN hate. All except JJ. Facts. If Boston wins, lets hear what they say.

Now I realize Perk wasn’t actually injured in Game 6 & 7 of the 2010 Finals, “HE WAS SCARED!”

Bean town disowns you, Perk

JT went from overrated to extremely underrated 😭 This man averaged 30 10 and 6!!! One of like 5 players to ever do that. And their saying a second option is playing better than Tatum

Luka-Kyrie vs Tatum- Brown!! Gonna be epic! Boston pretty deep doe

LOVE when JJ & RJ get together. Always roasting & laughs 😂🤙🏻💯

Perk is cappin , we in Boston aren't scared of this match up lmao . We wanted this over Timberwolves because of our Front court issues

Let’s put it this way. In these playoffs, Dallas hasn’t faced a team as good as Boston and Boston hasn’t faced a team as good as Dallas. This series is a complete mystery until game 3 ends. Anyone who claims to know how this is going to go is delusional. There’s going to be plenty of people feeling pretty smug after guessing right but this is the first finals in a long time where either team could pull ahead quick. It’s going to be wild.

I don’t understand how Perk went from being a Celtics analyst to a Celtics hater that quick. Crazy

What makes Luka different is his killer instinct in big games against really good players. You don't get any bigger games than in the NBA finals and Tatum and Brown are really good players. I'm hoping everyone stays healthy and we get a very entertaining finals series.

Perk needs to stop trying to talk for Boston. We’re not scared but we do respect the mavs. But the city feels ready. I don’t know what perk talking about. He is the least fav commentator who played for Boston.

No way Kyrie is on the same level as Tatum. Tatum runs the entire offense, Kyrie runs in Luka's shadow.

All ima say is this Mavericks faced the Hardest path to the Finals they rank 1st in NBA History, they’re the first team since the Lakers in 2011 to beat three top seeds and have three of them have 50+ wins to the finals. They Won that year! Mavericks in 5!

Hey Perky, Boston are not nervous. Bring on the game already.

I just can’t wait for Jaylen and Jayson to show everyone the truth. This is going to be therapeutic when they destroy the Mavericks and Boston wins their 18th title. This is the start of a dynasty and the duo of JB and JT will finally get the respect they deserve.

In playoffs 14 games Jayson Tatum averaging 26 points 10 rebounds and 5.9 assists. 44% from the field and 29% from 3 points, and 84% from freethrows. Jaylen Brown is averaging 25 pts, 6 rebs, and 3 assists. 54% from the field 36.7% from 3. Id say they are playing evenly in the playoffs.

Perk not allowed to claim Boston anymore

So glad you all started doing lives and not videos from 2-3 days ago lol. Well done.

Why is J.J. cooking them with facts?😂

JJ is on point.

Perk is Celtics hater!

J Kidd is in the zone of coaching with this group of men...he was in the same zone in 2011 when he led the Mavs with Dirk and Company as well. What a great series for both Boston and Dallas that I hope goes to game 7...Mavs win on the road in game 7. I hope all players are healthy, stay healthy, and create one of the most memorable finals for the ages.

This is it: 1. Doncic 2. Tatum 3. Brown 4. Irving 5. Holiday 6. Porzingis 7. White 8 and onwards - The rest

Boston is going to overwhelm Mavs. You going to see the difference between two stars and a team.

It's gonna be a great series!! Let's have some good clean basketball, with everyone staying healthy! Best against the best, and only one team can stand at the top! Props to both teams for getting to this point! Best wishes to all involved! Fans and players alike!

I’m surprised JJ and Perk are in the same conversation with how Perk was speaking about the Lakers coaching search

Luka can be worn down in a 48 min game. It’s the best plan of attack.

It's bad when everyone likes JJ's takes more on your own show. Perk just says the craziest crap to get noticed

Rj asking why Perk yelling when he was calm lol

Everyone has that same look on their face when Perk stops talking

Boston are gonna target Kyrie and Luka on switches all series

Celtics is too versatile and balance for the Mavs to handle. Celtics will defeat Dallas in possibly 6 games. I don't see this series going 7 games.

Honestly can’t wait to watch this series.

Am I the only one skipping through every time Perk starts opening that mouth of his? Jfc.

If you swap kyrie and Tatum, mavs go 16-0 and celtics are no longer in this competition

Luka is averaging 29pts, 10rebs, and 9 assists for the playoffs. And thats playing injured and off...

JJ saying Kyrie only Made jump shots ? Did he not watch he was playing good defense most the playoffs

JJ: I want to validate your opinion 😊. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What is Perk on? Kyrie is more impactful on defensive end than JT in the playoffs? Kyrie is an offensive machine no question but... Getting in love with offense that he can no longer tell the difference between offense and defense.

Celtics have the deeper team when it comes to depth and two way players. Mavs vs Timberwolves was Anthony Edwards vs Luka-Kyrie who don’t even play good defense; Celtics in 6 🍀☘️🔥🙌🏾

Kyrie being the second best player in this finals is the wildest take I’ve ever heard

Kyrie didn't want to be second to LeBron James but he's okay with being second to Luka

Perk isn’t loyal to the Celtics and has become a typical ESPN bandwagon fan commentator of who ever wins. He looks to create false narratives and is envious of anyone who has success on the Celtics because in all reality he was a role player at best for the Celtics.

I don't care how Mavs won over Minnesota Boston is a different team

Everyone’s face when Kendrick started talking about Lukas mindsets😂😂

I want JJ to get that lakers job so bad! Passive aggressive JJ and Lebron would be amazing to watch dance around

Just say y'all hate Tatum already and don't want to see him win. Just say it. Y'all literally have to LIE about what's actually happening in games in order to stick your narrative. Y'all said Ant was better than JT...now your golden child is out so now Kyrie is better than JT??? Since when??? I'd like to think if Boston won that it would change, but it wouldn't. Y'all would continue to discredit. 🤡 Show.

Boggles the mind that Perk is actually paid to give sports opinions 😂

Love JJ, tell them boys...

Boston hasn’t played a superstar duo none this post season so they really are the underdogs in this finals they’ve had a smooth run to where they didn’t even need KP to o get to the finals frfr so Richard isn’t wrong when he says Luka and Kyrie are the best players out of the 5 superstars between the 2 teams

Kyrie had multiple games scoring 9 points and averaged 15 against The Thunder

Tatum is the third best player in this series?!? 30 10 and 6 and bro is the third best player after kyrie lmaoo the hate for tatum has to be studied bro, this is insane

Lively matches up with KP very well. Although Lively can’t shoot 3’s he also didn’t miss a single shot in the last series. I’m more excited about this finals matchup than I’ve been in a while. Mavs in 6

As a die hard Mavs fan, I look so forward to this finals. The two best teams are left, good luck and its gonna be the best finals in years!

These people saying Kyrie is better than Tatum atm are INSANE.

RJ hit the nail on the head when he said that Dallas has continued to evolve and get better throughout these playoffs largely through facing 3 tough opponents, whereas Boston has faced weaker, injury riddled opponents and not had nearly the same kind of challenge. I also wonder how the layoff will affect Boston, as well as how well Porzingis will fit back in. Early edge to Dallas in my opinion, but if Boston can rise to their best in time they may win it in 7. We'll find out if Tatum is a true superstar or not in this series.

Love JJ’s bookless shelves.

Kai is much more than his game on the floor. The debate on who’s better between the four is really stupid debate as each team is built pretty well around their own stars. I’ve watched every game of the Mavs and been to three games in person. The one thing that sticks out is Kai’s spirit and how he lifts his teammates. You could see it from the stands in between timeouts, it’s an infectious energy he has that his teammates feed off of. It makes everyone play harder hence why the mavs were one of the best defensive teams coming in to the playoffs. Don’t let the Mavs steal game one or it’s a wrap. I could see Boston going up by 15-20 at halftime and the mavs coming back second half to make it a game. I have Mavs in 6.

Kyrie wishes he can guard Tatum or Brown

JJ the only one with a brain lol

JJ reddik is on all podcasts

Celtics haven’t played this current Mavs team after Kidd figured out rotation

Who df was guarding JT?

Less Perk please

The bald eagle pod = best for analysis, with Perk and Dick sharing full capacity for analysis, not hype. KP & Al vs PJ, Gaff, and Lively.

JT is the the second best player in this finals. JB is the third best player. Kyrie is in the conversation with Jrue and Derrick, not fucking Jayson Tatum man please cut the shit out

Celtic fans flooding the comment section. Watch them get swept with by Mavs 😅

Uncle Drew and Nephew bringing the BARBECUE!

This is a great lineup.

JJ is insightful and has an acute understanding of the game, but stop being condescending and subtly disparaging.

RJ is just hating on Tatum because it was Fireman Jayson who brought his tiny little dog back safe

JJ is hilarious with these guys

4:08 perk you understand the assignment

the confused faces of everybody when perk talks hahah

I agree with JJ, but he did say it's not about stats. Then, his rebuttal to Perk was asking how many assist Luka was averaging. Coming into this, I don't think it's close to which team is playing better. That's Dallas for sure, but like they said, KP will boost that offense.

Ain’t nobody scared Perk. You stay hating on the Celtics. Ain’t no way boi😂

Perk hating on the Celtics while there is literally a Celtics jersey hanging behind him haha. Brings up defense for Kyrie and Mavs backcourt, holiday and Derek white ate the best defensive backcourt in the league.

Does perk have to be on every single show and podcast ever?

RJ :45 you made me proud with that story line question made mf think 🤔

When someone picks one team over another in a playoff series isn't necessarily hate, It's just their opinion. I don't understand why someone would hate an entire team. Both teams should be respected for what they've been able to achieve so far this season.

My favorite storyline is the next face of the league battle

Mavs in 5. Don’t @ me, Inceltics.

JT and kyrie can go point for point , but which one is going to play tougher defense, have more big boards, assists?

All this praise to Mavs and the Mavs are a big underdog in this series. And The Celtics two superstars are two way players the mavs best players aren’t. And the Celtics beat the mavs their last 9 games in a row.

I've seen comments on Mavs fan channels and they consistently diss KP to an EXTREME degree so I think there's more of a storyline in Porzingas coming up big against Dallas than ppl are realizing - a lot more even than the angle of Kyrie coming hard at Boston

Hating on the Cs! I love it!!!

Jj can stay on his own show he doesn’t even wanna have a conversation, he just wants to talk

"and Luka is averaging 9 asts per game" - where did that came from? 😂

Mavs in 6. Celtics will win 2 games by 10+. Mavs will win 3 nip-and-tuck games, 4 points or less. Luka & Kyrie will take turns in closing out those games. Jrue can only guard one of them so the Celtics will end up picking their poison in those 3 down-the-wire games. JT and JB will crumble under pressure. Mavs will win 1 game by 10+ points.

1) Kidd was the coach when KP was traded 2) KP is the third option on the Celtics not the second so there is no comparison to his time in Dallas

One thing that is really alarming in this series is Luka on the defensive end. I recall a game in the regular season, Mavs vs. Pacers, where they pushed the pace and Luka was exhausted. But Boston will have to make them 3s to exploit Luka.

JJ takes so many shots at First Take but benefited from it as well.

Can we stop disrespecting teams? Saying that Boston had an easy path is not reasonable. The Mavericks found both the Pacers and the Cavaliers to be worthy opponents this year. Now we should all understand and acknowledge that the Mavericks have evolved a great deal over this year. But they did go 0 for 4 against these two teams, and I don't think they would agree that either team is a cakewalk. That's disrespectful, and it's not based in reality.

JJ was not having it LMAP😂💀

Tatum and celtics have the mission.... And thier the best defense
