The NBA Got What They Wanted. 

HELLO! Wanted to correct the hilarious mistake in the video where I'm saying AD had 55 BLOCKS in 6 games I ain't been sleeping and I'm not sure what I heard on broadcast that got my wires crossed He had 26 BLOCKS in 6 games ☠️ Watch the playoffs with us! www.playback.tv/dom2k Twitch: Twitch.tv/dom_2k Music: chernebeats.com Business email: Theweightliftingcentral@Gmail.com Twitter: twitter.com/dom_2k Instagram: instagram.com/dom_2k Snapchat: Dom_2k

a 6 seed hosting homecourt in the playoffs is ridiculous 😂

the NBA scriptwriters deserve a raise for these playoffs

I mean AD had crazy block numbers but 55 in 6 games is kinda wild Dom that’s 9.16 blocks per game 😭

This is the first time in NBA history with one of each seed number in the second round

Ain't no way Adam Silver and the league of shadows were gonna let a LeBron vs. Steph series slip out of their hands.

If you exclude the 2021 playoffs(AD injured) for Lebron, the last time Lebron was eliminated from the playoffs that wasn't from a finals loss was 2010(2nd round exit). The last time time Curry was eliminated from the playoffs that wasn't in the finals was in 2014(first round exit). Someone is being eliminated in the 2nd round. It will feel weird because when we think of the teams of Lebron and Curry, they usually go to the finals and win or lose. It's been a long time since either one lost before the finals.

And it didn't look like a setup either! Cause you know, Kings and Lakers would've brought back a certain historical reference 😆

Steph was running the court like the Roadrunner😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Adam Silver was so relieved when the warriors won game 7😅

The toxicity of the bron and curry stans will be at its peak. This will be cinema

You missed ONE but VERY important issue with Sabonis, his inability or rather his unwillingness to go right in any way, shape or form. Nobody but to blame but himself for his woes, he clogged and limited himself to only one half of the key because of this which made defending him easier than it should have been

Boy I can't wait for Dom to do a sequel to that Bulls-Celtics series with this Kings-Warriors series

So happy for Kevon. When Curry haters make the "He has a superteam" argument, Loony's name will pop-up now.

Been following you for a few years now, i gotta say it's really hard to find better nba commentary and analysis content than yours dom, u great!! keepin us well updated all these years

The play at 2:59 from Curry is crazy! The dude’s incredible

we still have the next few years to watch Ja vs Fox.

Oh yeah!! Glad to see your predictions again!!

As a Lakers fan I really wanted you to pick the warriors so we would avoid the Dom Curse….thanks a lot Dom.

Update: the eastern conference got interesting with harden popping off for 45 beating the Celtics in the racism dome

Wow you got all your predictions right, well done

I've always gone with if two teams match up in talent levels, then I pick who has the coaching advantage and Kerr blows that match out of the water

12:46 AD really took that to heart

No matter who wins it all this year is exciting. Even if warriors/ celtics win its huge for player rankings and all time rankings.

hey man i’ve been watching for over 5 years and it’s good to still see your content. thank you brotha

The NBA is about to get all of the money they lost during the pandemic back with the GSW vs Lakers series.

yo just wanna say thanks for these consistent playoff videos, I always look forward to them

Great video thanks for sharing!

I'm glad we finally get to see a Warriors-Lakers series where both teams are at a comparable level. Agree with your thoughts - I think a couple things will be key - 1 - How will LA and Golden State target each other? We know Anthony Davis is much, much more mobile than Sabonis. The Grizzles felt that. I'm expecting to see more switching from AD, less paint presence for the Warriors, just as I'm expecting Draymond's defense on LeBron (or whatever other big wing he guards) to be critical, but given that AD is mostly a non-shooter, will the Warriors be playing off of him, what form does that take, and how will that compare to how LA will try to exploit Draymond? Will we see some screens inside the 3-point line to get Davis open as a lob threat, like earlier in LA's season? 2 - How does LA hold up against the Warriors' movement? They have great defensive personnel and size, and can shrink the floor while hustling and cutting off lanes to the rim, however, as good as Jarred Vanderbilt & Dennis Schroeder were at staying connected to guys off of screens, can they adjust when they have to go over and track Steph & Klay for a whole game? Do Vando's offensive shortcomings limit his minutes here, and if so, how do the Lakers respond? 3 - What version of LeBron do we see in this series? At times he had some solid games, but at other times, fatigue and his recent foot injury seemed to catch up with him. In a series where some of the bench pieces might struggle a bit, will LeBron be able to ramp it up? How much does having an off shooting year like this impact his ability to manipulate the defense and create open looks? Also agree with your feelings about PHX. As a Suns fan (nominally, at least), I feel that (1) given that Chris Paul isn't what he was even last season, let alone two years ago, this is not a superteam; (2) they're clearly still integrating KD into the offense, and while Monty Williams is great at putting in structure and discipline on both ends, he's not an Erik Spolestra. He's not going to go out there and just do crazy shit nobody else would've thought of, and that structure is still being developed; (3) PHX lacks depth. And I mean they seriously lack depth. Outside of those four guys there's a big drop-off - no disrespect to Ish Wainwright, TJ Warren, Terence Ross, or Torrey Craig - they're valuable, but two of those guys as starters, when two picks are limited offensively and two defensively? I just don't think it's enough, and that, along with the math problem and Chris Paul's understandable lack of willingness to take a bunch of pull-up threes (and age limiting his ability to get to the cup) means I'm fairly confident Denver is winning this series. They still have defensive issues, and Jokic has had some weird stuff going on (his touch isn't what it normally is - I heard he might have a wrist injury), but I think their depth relative to the Suns and their ability to mix up their coverages a little bit will get them this series in 6. I got the outcomes of the Lakers-Grizzles, Warriors-Kings, Celtics-Hawks, Clippers-Suns, & Nuggets-T-Wolves series correct, with the Warriors, Suns, Nuggets, & Lakers right on the money. My predictions for these series were: Celtics in five (will probably be wrong on the number since Philly won game one) Nuggets in six Lakers in 7 (just decided on this one) Heat in 7 Honestly, I hope I'm right with these predictions, because then we get to see a Nuggets-Lakers and Celtics-Heat rematches that could lead to a repeat of the 2020 Finals or a classic Celtics-Lakers showdown, which is something we haven't had since...2010?

No injuries, no superteams, no bullshit. I pray this goes to 7.

This rivalry is when I became a Knicks fan. And to be able to watch them currently in the playoffs vs the Heat is great series tied game 3 today. Go KNICKS!

Dom the 🐐

After Game 2 your Statement on the Nuggets/suns Stands true!!

Following Kevin from team to team is crazy😭 p.s. Aaron Gordan is grossly underrated, it’s the orlando years

Warriors or Lakers? I got Warriors winning in 6/7, most likely 6.

WCF happening on the 2nd round already? Sheesh 🔥

I want the Lakers to win, but I feel like the Warriors are well made to counter all of LAs strong suits. Probably Warriors in 5

You sound more relaxed in this vid. Good takes, my dude.

You know a video-idea that would be interesting? Man rotations and championships, facilitating a discussion about depth. Looking at the 8-man Denver and Philadelphia rotations last night got me thinking

I like your take on the Warriors. Logical

Please do make a video about a playoff for the ages, the 2022-2023 quarterfinals faceoff between GSW & the Kings. Quite a nail-biter of a series but quite breathtaking.

Dang bro predicted the west perfectly

No team with Chris Paul on it is a super-team, because we all know he's one mosquito bite away being inactivated.

Warriors fan here. Kuminga 100% plays. For a couple of reasons. 1. He guarded Lebron well in the regular season and a few ball dominant super stars really(Kahwi and PG come to mind) Guarding in Iso is hos stronges skill. 2. Hes fresh and with a 1 day of rest set up we are gonna need him. 3. How much he plays will depend on his volume of mistakes. I can almost promose u he plays at least 10-15 mins game 1 and if those go well he could play as many as 25 in the series. The reason he didnt see the floor in the kings series is the ball movement. Hes a A- on ball defender but once the ball starts shooting all around he has a tendancy to foul and get flustered. Personally i think u also see alot more of Moody in this series. Hes also one of the most fresh and can guard like sized guys. Whitch is basically everybody besides lebron and AD. JMG could also see more minutes in this series because he basically DNPd the kings series. Hes more hit or miss though. Some games hes ass on defense and gets like 1 board and 4 pts. And some games he hits 3-5 3s has 5 boards and a block and isnt a traffic cone. But its alot more often that hes just meh. Jordan Poole has to fix his season in this series to keep pace with the lakers others. Thats the real X factor here. That and the lakers health....could easily see the lakers get thanosed into dust if AD breaks anything and with a 1 day rest speed run i dont think its likely he plays every game. Another factor in a complete shift of the warriors roll players is how small they all are. Trying to play Devenchenso and GP2 or lamb is asking for trouble vs this big ass team

LET'S GO DUBS

The NBA, like American politics, is forevermore the realm of the geriatric. Same names duking it out until it all comes crashing down. Young teams should manage their expectations

LEGACY DEFINING MATCH 🔥🔥

Dillon Brooks is that sorry ass side character in a anime who's thinks he's the main character and then he gets bodied 😂😂😂😂😂

7:25 I’m not going to lie, if Steven Adams alone wasn’t injured and was in play alongside Jackson, this series would have been seven games and a total toss up.

You spittin dom. Everytime gsw hit one of those Gsw shots I was like ok it’s time for a run, then the kings answer😭😭 I also wasn’t worried about the road record. They are way to seasoned for that to matter

Nuggets Warriors rematch!!

besides bron vs curry warriors vs lakers will be a incredible series and will go 7 games interested to see how the lakers plan to guard steph and the warriors constant off ball screens and what team wins the series will be determined by which team has the better halfcourt offense

Bro everyone forgetting Jordan Poole greatest strength. The baddies. Bro gonna go crazy in LA

That 2011 Miami and PHX comparison is excellent.. 2011 Miami were so razor thin…

Great video, Nuggets in 5

Good calls cept for the warriors series

Harrison Barnes man...one jumper away from going 3-1 with 2 of 3 at Sacramento. Bricking in playoff games since 2016.

Bold pick going Lakers! It'd be great to see AD play like he did in that series vs the blazers where they were the 6 seed and swept them. If the Lakers win it will be because of AD but I just can't count out Steph and Klay. This series is going 7 for sure

Hey @dom2k has anyone ever pointed out that you use ratchet and clank 3 music for your videos? One of my favourite games so I thought it was cool.

Hatchamora was playing like mj in game 1 vs grizzlies 😂

I got warriors in six looking forward too it

I was so hype when Barnes took the 3. I knew he was gonna miss after selling us in Game 6, and 7 of the 2016 finals

Aside from Giannis and Embiid being injured that sucks but heres hoping no more injuries

I was waiting for him to talk about the Sixers and Celtics game lol.

AD is the key to the Lakers beating the warriors if he goes crazy like 27+ ppg they can win it but idk what we are gonna get from him he needs to be him for this team

Been watching u a few years.. yeen got naan prediction right

I thinks lakers warriors goes in the warriors favor, the kings served as a wake up call, Wiggins has some games now, and the perimeter d is way worse in the lakers, Poole will be better, it depends on AD to be dominant for them to steal the series. Warriors in 5

Warriors are a team who only trying when it matters like if post season qualification was on the line or in the actual play offs. Hence the road record regular season.

Dom got the scripts Fr bro😂 he got lakers in 6 on the dot lmao

Can you PLEASE do a video on getting around not being able to play with your custom roster on play now, when not connected to the internet? I get this message that says “this feature is restricted. You do not have the required account privileges “ When not connected to Wifi

The Kings put up more of a fight than my poor Blazers ever could. Seriously, the the past decade we’ve played them in the playoffs, I think we’ve won one game. Jesus.

Yessir laker in the wcf

i just want the Heat to make the Finals. I’m not even a Heat fan

I feel barns would be good on a second unit. But I doubt he'd be willing to take that kind of role. He's a solid non drama vet with a chip.

Amazing to see the seedings 1 to 8 in the second round 🤣😂🤣😂

@Dam2k Lakers as a team had 55 Blocks AD only has 26 Blocks himself.

Dom2k: *drops video convinced Celtics will waltz into the finals* Malcolm Brogdon: "How about no"

Completely off topic but how did that ref call Klay’s shot in the corner a 3 standing when he was standing right next to him right there at 2:57 🤣🤣

Adam Silver to Kings and Grizzlies : im sorry little one

The Last Dance 😢

Praying the dom curse does it job for the lakers🙏🏾

Hmmmm...i think it's gonna end in 7, because who is gonna gard GS? I think it's gonna be up and down good and bad days for either teams for 6 games, 7th game is just gonna be a masterpiece on both sides. I have GSW winning it, but really close like double OT kind off close

The Warriors will struggle with defense, they'll probably incorporate a box and 1 strat to clog up the paint to slow down AD. Offensively they can spam High PnR and AD will either be stuck in the paint or be put on an island with the faster Warriors team. I predict Lebrons passing will be what tips the scale in the Lakers favour and if the Warriors can stop that then D'lo will have a fantastic series as the Warriors will have to depend on him missing.

Which is more fixed NFL or NBA

10:30 ironic that your team just lost to Philly without embiid as you say that 😅

Lebron vs Curry Heat vs Knicks Celtics vs 76s The script is going crazy

Nuggets won with Jamal Murray shooting 3-15…. And now Cp3 is going through his annual playoff injury. Suns are in big trouble

Not factoring in championship experience for the lakers and warriors series and confidently picking lakers to win is ASININE

Warriors in 7. You make great points, but I can’t bet against Steph right now.

Taking a 3 on a 1 point game with plenty of time, is crazy

Pretty good accusations, but you forgot some main points and that’s play off experience and finals appearances. Warriors have that team chemistry with the main three winning 4 championships. They have that experience to help there team to win. You forgot about coaching experience too, Steve Kerr is a better coach then the lakers. Steve knows how to win a game and make adjustments quick

Warriors vs Celtics is most likely for NBA finals... The only surprise would be warriors not making finals or heat/Knicks making finals

This the first time LeBron has the better team over Steph in all their matchups together. Warriors have zero answer if AD plays his game and the Lakers will live at the line as they should since they basically can't guard them. Game slows down which favors the Lakers. This should be Lakers in 5 but since LeBron loves to be dramatic most likely Lakers in 6

18:26 Don’t blame that 2011 Heat loss on depth put the blame on the 6th Mavs player that was on the court Lebron James

Here after the Suns fell down 0-2 and CP3 got injured (again). Nuggets in 5 or a sweep.

Yesssir

Warriors in 5, Nuggets in 5

The arguments presented are always why Warriors cant do this. We know Dom, the Dubs whacked your Celts last year.

Lakers just gonna have to do their best on slowing down curry but where they can win is shutting down Wiggins and klay. Force curry to give you 50 to make up for his teammates. You just can’t expect to keep curry below 30 points consistently.
