Press Comment from J.Kidd after the game on his Birthday...Happy Birthday Chris...xDD

💀🤣

Great observation. He leads when playing well and elevates everyone's game, but he also leads when he's not playing well. And instead of other guys elevating their game to carry Chris they all just lie down and get kicked. Mikal Bridges exploded one game going for 30 points, I was like where has that been? Why don't we see other guys pick it up and play well when someone else is down? Very disappointed in my Suns in that Mavs series.

Hahaha the man must be cursed

Started in 2014 when he grandfathered in the clippers curse with those 2 turnovers in 2014 vs okc. Clippers were never the same after that.

😭😭

If someone had told me that was a Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan quote, I'd have believed it. Luka is built different. He has that killer in him that you need to win in the playoffs, but also to finish a team off and leave no doubt.

@@blueredlover1060 yes he has the aggression especially in Game 7 and he's only 23. He also got a ton of feats right now

@@blueredlover1060 i think there was a Michael Jordan interview where he said somewhat the same thing, not word for word but i think it went "everybody talks trash when they're up, now do that when it is 0-0"

@@rhylegonzaga it was something along the lines of "anyone can talk shit when they're winning, it takes a real man to talk while he's losing, or the score is tied." same sentiment basically

facts

He didn't do a good job with the Bucks. But when he left the Lakers, you can see his impact on the coaching and defence. He apparently is known to mentor players well hence Giannis didnt want him to leave before.

@@geoks.509 giannis has said himself Kidd is a huge part of his insane development. So what?

Kidd fell into the superstar trap. Just because your good at one thing should mean you get to skip steps on the next. With the combination of failures in his early coaching career and seeing the lakers magically develop a good coaching team while he was there showed how to properly curate a staff not only you like, but maximize your players best abilities.

@@theklr he also had that alcohol problem back then

Facts

Don’t forget New Orleans, they lookin REAL legit with Zion coming back

Full storm for the suns

I personally think the Clippers experiment is a bust

Booker and bridges still young. This team in this form might be done for, but a couple trades or a new team built around book still got hope for a title. Problem is we need booker to develop a different mindset

Ayton, Jaren Jackson, Brook Lopez. All 7 footers who refuse to get into the paint and dominate. Ayton is afraid to block shots, JJJ will block your shot but mans does nothing but shoot and can’t rebound to save his life. Beook lopez will defend too bug refuses to go into the post to score and can’t rebound. Makes no sense.

ayton has been amazing bro wym he just played wack af the last couple of games againts the mavs lmao

@@skillethead15 brook won't get into the paint because he's job is to space the floor for giannis

@@Brunoodles05 and he has been so damn effective in that role. Actually won a ring. Unlike Ayton.

@@skillethead15 Lopez is still the score leading of Nets scoring points on the paint! Just when started playing in the Bucks, he changed his of playing basketball to provide space for Giannis…

This coment is so wrong, Suns needed a big man and a safe pick, at the time anyone saw luka as a big risk man.

@@klajdikotorri9108 No, always choose talent over fit also the suns needed a pg back then

@@bernyrodriguez8687 suns have gone throw some bust in the draft kaminsky, bender etc, so they chose the safest prospect, anyway ayton is an elite player they are not evaluating him as they should!

@@klajdikotorri9108 I wouldn’t say Ayton is elite but he was still a solid pick. I almost always disagree with drafting “fit” over best available though. Especially when you’re that bad if you only win 25 games obviously there’s holes everywhere there’s no best fit

@@klajdikotorri9108 no, he's not, he's an above average center and that's why he doesn't deserve a max

Crazy how playoffs make teams sooo much more competitive not only did luka step but so did all the role players happy for em cant wait to see em im free agency I wonder what moves the mavs will make

@@jikazuku I think they going run it back with their squad they wasn't in this same spot tho with KP on the team I think resign dinwiddie to a contract extension because he helped them slot. Correct me if I'm wrong if he still under contract. Resign Jalen Brunson as well and figure out the rest from there. I agree with the playoffs being competitive the pace slows down alot of team adjustment to make on one team as well

@@TheAdidasKnifer i was thinking maybe they could go for ayton

It is rigged and scripted, people! CP3 is the go-to -guy in the league when they want a specific team or player ..to shine. They want Luka to be next up…so he HAD to win. It was obviously a rig job if you look at it without emotion.

@@ebzs1429 I was pulling hard for the Suns but I'll admit that I have always been skeptical of CP3. He just does not have what it takes to win a championship. It's really as simple as that. I know that Steve Nash and John Stockton never won a ring either but I would take both of them over CP3 in regards to all-time point guards. Some players have the heart of a champion and CP3 reverted to Cliff Paul those final five games apparently...

Both booker and CP3 looked like benchwarmers, the fact that the Sun's started the 3rd quarter with 27 points is beyond embarrassing.

@@ebzs1429 nobody calls him a top 2 PG unless you're saying people said he is currently. Also, as a man who could give less of a fuck about the guy, there aren't 20 legit (nor 10, really, but I'm open to see them) PGs better than Chris Paul.

He's old. If he's underachieving then lebron is already buried.

But he’s underachieved his whole career.

@@maosama3695 lebron is definitely buried averaging 30 last year and won a chip 2 years ago

But what about Lillard? Despite having no results whatsoever, he's universally hailed as the real overachieving point guard?

@@maosama3695 fuck your talking about lebron when we speaking on Chris you have to bring up another player to prove your point

@Joshua Munn Fraud team? They was in the Finals last year, and just got defeated in 7 just like the Bucks at the same time. Both Giannis and Book and CP didn't shjow up in GM 7. Just like the Heat went to the Finals one year and the next bowed out in the second round too. They all frauds too? There are fans that know and watch basketball, and there are people that just like to watch RU-vid. ehh🙄

And which one of those categories does Lillard fall in?

After that, I knew it was over for the Suns! DONT MOCK THE DON! Big... BIG mistake!

I agree

I agree and now there are reports coming out that he was injury really I feel like we heard this before 🤷

The Choke God. 😂

Somehow he gets this “injured” excuse every time. Game 7 they’re really saying there was an injury lol

CP3 gets all the excuses dude, his fans always be like “Yes I know he hasn’t done shit in the postseason, but look at his advanced stats!”

Exactly! He's always trying to manipulate the refs, & get cheap fouls, always flopping or getting in somebody's way, unless he drops the BS & focuses on just playing winning ball he win never win a ring, & I think it's too late now, this was his last & best chance

@Adam ok this shit got nothing to do with Luka, & Luka is young Chris Paul is not, his window is closing Lukas is open. Chris is a bigger flopper than Luka, neither of them play good defense

yeah I used to think he was clearly above that Stockton, Kidd, Nash tier but at this point in time even though he's statistically superior he's probably around that range

@@barsbarsbarz He's way better than them

@@sixersfan602 id argue stats wise yes, but eye test id say Kidd / STockton is way better than CP3

Lol. He is just overated. Point God?Top 75? HOF?Wtf rondo,parker,kidd,jrue holiday much better than him during playoffs. Even an average point guard show up during playoffs like mario Chalmers,george hill,Isaiah thomas(before hip injury)many more. Even in his prime he didn't really show up when his team need him the most. He is a leader (most of his team).He should awake his teammates,score when needed.not the cause of their downfall.

@@ALY-xc7flyou mean 29 other teams knew this. The NBA only has 30 total teams to begin with

@@L8_Mozez Nola had nothing to lose and they was extra motivation

It’s really crazy to think that if zion played, there is a real and solid chance NOLA would’ve won. They were missing their best player and pushed them to 6.. zion is worth at least 1 game and if it’s game 7, as we can see, anything is possible

Booker didn’t play half that series. Not really the same.

Overtalented/underachieving Pelicans vs. injured Suns, fantastic!

yeah they thought they were the best team in the league, booker was the most cocky of them and CP was very unlucky in clutch games

@@aymslt8743 he's just not consistent and they had a lot of pressure going into that game 7.

@@RiruKrypto_ that is why phx is only good in the regular season, they cant deal with the pressure of the playoffs

Ya shame on them for believing In themselves. This is what you deserve for expecting to win

cp3 was injured all playoffs too and booker had a hamstring injury from game 3 on til they lost the finals lol

I think the sun's is worst they finished with the best record in the NBA 64 wins and we're one of the favorite to win the chip.

Both teams shut down their reddit in response lol

Blowing a 2-0 lead in back to back postseasons while being maybe the best team in the NBA during that two year stretch is just a terrible look.

The Clippers literally got zero slander for blowing a 3-1 lead.

@@vividsid94 what are you talking about ? People on social media and RU-vid were literally clowning the clippers lmfao. The fact people don’t mention how the suns were literally the 2-0 in the NBA finals and had a chance to close out the series is ridiculous

There's plenty of reason to not list of player as not injured. Mainly being that your ENEMY will know and exploit that weakness. These teams are trying to win at all cost and giving them something to take is a guaranteed way to loose it. I'm not defending the suns I'm just saying there's reasons to not list a player as injured

@@johnmedina7083 exactly. It's the same reason Lebron didn't say shit in 2018 until the Finals was done.

Dude every single time CP3 gets bounced he uses the injury excuse immediately after. Nobody cares when you lie about playing injured of you keep losing in the playoffs and refuse to admit you were straight trash

Uh the team literally covered up cp3 and booker injuries in the finals. So what makes the round 2 different

Every time he fails to show up he magically has an injury. Dude is a fraud, people just feel sorry for him bc he’s short

And not next year

@@jom5343 not ever as long as the big 3 is on the court

screw luka .go warriors

booker os the culprit for that

Ur right CP3 is the biggest flopper in the league tbh

CP3, Booker, Crowder are all on Marcus Smart's level when it comes to flopping

In a sport where most everyone is at least 6'5 being 7' isnt the most important part. Especially not in current basketball, with all the outside shooting. That has been shown time and again. 7 inches in height (which dont always translate to wingspan) dont make up for less agility, less basketball IQ, less smart positioning, worse predicting where the ball falls in a rebound situation. All that being said, usually you dont want to be No1 Draft pick, because if you are great, nobody is surprised, and when you aint, everyone thinks you're a bust especially with a No3 pick like Luka / Trae. But we should all sit back and relax. Ayton is young, he still has potential to grow as a role player and it would probably be good for him to join another team where he gets coached and utilised differently.

Don't forget Luka's teammates were stepping up as well, you can't really say it was all him that beat the Suns otherwise the Mavs would have lost if Luka's teammates didn't preform as well as he did.

and Lillard doesn't?

Yeah its bad scheme to take away your best interior defender from the paint. Thats why hedging and extra help defense are so effective because it makes it harder for the offense to create big gaps or wide open shots.

Shitty coaching in my opinion

True! That's part of how they got out coached

Maybe he shouldn’t switch then . Ever heard of drop coverage?

Which one exactly? Harden was a terrible leader, won't ignore that fact, but in terms of individual play he was pretty solid. Harden took a bit too much of the blame that season. Mike D'Antoni is TERRIBLE coach and deserves more blame than he gets.
