'WITH OR WITHOUT GIANNIS, INDIANA IS WINNING THIS SERIES' 🗣️ - Stephen A. | NBA Countdown 

Doc has to get into his bag? What bag? 😂😂

Doc Rivers "Keep doubting us." 😂

Milwaukee should've never got rid of jrue holiday. That was stupid

The last time Giannis was out for the majority of the first round, they were eliminated

I smell a Doc special brewing😂😂😂

By any means, DO NOT PLAY MALIK BEASLEY. Tyrese’s favourite guard to go against because he’s the easiest guard to score on in the NBA…

Stephen A is shocked at Middleton's middle name lmao

Perk talking about Patrick Beverly being the "heart and soul of this team" is hilarious. He got traded there this year. He's played 25 games. Doc Rivers has been part of the Buck's organization for longer than that. I get that he's a passionate guy, but if Pat Bev is their heart and soul, that's a problem.

As a Celtics fan I thank the bucks for what they did. Stopped Miami from getting dame while making themselves worse & helping the Celtics get better. Holiday literally fell into our laps when we had no idea what direction we were going in at PG😌🙌🏾

When you’re hiring Doc Rivers, you know you fumbled the bag.

Stephen A Smith on "Money Making Middleton"?😭🤔🤣. This is BLASPHEMOUS 🤣🤣🤣

April May June is here

Dang.. what happened to all the folks who said they were title contenders when they got Dame. I thought he was still in his prime. I never thought it was a good trade anyway. But trade him after 1 year? These folks say trade everybody when the season comes to an end.

They didn’t want no parts of Philly.

Doc is coach of the year for 29 teams

3:09 "Money Making Middleton" had me rolling 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

Im rooting for the Pacers.

I agree with Stephen A Smith. Indiana's younger, faster and their team is healthy. The Bucks have too many players over 30 years old. So although that means they're more experienced/smarter, at the same time that means it'll be a struggle for them to keep up with how quick this Pacers team is.

Oh yes, a playoff series where BOTH teams have smoke for each other. Hope its at least 6 games because this is gonna be theater 🔥

Trade him to the heat where he actually wanted to be

I am predicting playoff scoring records during this series.

Stephen A. Smith nailed it Indiana going to beat them Bucks

Milwaukee might be looking at another First round exit....I still don't understand why they blew up the team for Dame Lilliard..🤷🏾‍♀️

I like Giannis, definitely one of the best players, the supporting cast makes me nervous, not going to lie

as a blazers fan, the thing about dame is he always been a 'make a mediocre team good' player, but not a 'make a good team great' type of player. When you don't play defense and you need the ball in your hands all the time to make an impact on offense you either limit your teammates by trying to do it all your self (dame in POR), or you out there not doing much and not knowing how to fit in (dame in MIL).

This series is difficult to predict. I need to see the first two games to decide who will win this series.

*Milwaukee Bucks Exist* ESPN: THEY SHOULD TRADE THEIR STAR PLAYERS!

Bag of blowing 3-1 leads.😂

If the bucks lose in the first round does doc rivers get fired again ? and does he get another coaching opportunity?

Perk is crazy if he thinks it's guaranteed that the Bucks can beat the Pacers without Giannis, especially with Doc Rivers as the coach. For a Bucks team without Giannis Antetokounmpo and on and off chemistry, going against Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakim, and Miles Turner is a terrible first round matchup. The Pacers have one of the best offenses in the league, with multiple 150+ scoring games.

The Pacers have had 3 games of 150+ points this season against the Hawks. The Hawks are a joke.

Doc Rivers is about to cook up his annual Disasterclass in this one 🔥 🔥 🔥

Doc getting into his own bag out of town, now that is the trick I want to see.

Lets go Pacers!!

Thank God we get the recognition now, we have a chance on making it to the ECF lowk

We really need more post from you, we are bored without you

The Bucks will definitely blow it up next season.. Their window been over! Time to rebuild

Just the look on Stephen A. face says it all 😵

Scary Terry x Dame Dolla swap would be fye fye🔥

LET’S GO BUCKS

Keep hating on giannis and the bucks like you guys have done his whole career... he'll prove yall wrong

As the Celtics fan I said before the season started you media people are nuts for calling this Lillard trade amazing. They got rid of so much gave up their whole future pretty much for one player who scores what six more points than holiday? He is not A better defender. They already were proven with holiday. so they gave up their future draft picks for one player rather than building around what they already had. It was not smart at all. I said that from day one of that. Then we got holiday and I was even more happy lol.

This will be an interesting series. Once Perk mentioned the Bucks were relying on Pat Beverly, I knew it would be Pacers in 5.

Haliburton be pretending to be this humble guy but I can see through it lol

Bucks in 6 with Giannis

Pacers clapping these bums

Pat Bev is gon be crucial in this series

Let’s not forget that there are steps to success, and being a first round playoff exit is just one of them. There is no failure in sports.

I wanted someone to laugh at him when he said the pacers got playoff experience from the in season tournament 😭

i agree... i don't care if Giannis will play or not, i can sense an upset here... with coach Doc leading that team... its a possibility 😂😂😂😂

Looks like a great series!

Lol SAS just hates Giannis and Milwaukee and wants to see Dame elsewhere. Sure it hasn't worked as well as we all thought but this is their first season together and the combo of Dame+Middleton+Giannis+Brook has barely been on the court together, add that in with the coaching chaos and really it's not that surprising they're struggling. To suggest they should blow it up and trade Dame after one season is ridiculous. And if Giannis is healthy Bucks def beating Pacers

I think the Bucks has a chance to win the series if Dame returns to form but they been so inconsistent idk if I believe in them 100 percent without Giannis. They have enough of with Middleton Lopez and the others

Honestly Bucks championship window is basically over already in my opinion. Middleton isn’t the player he once was, they lost Jrue, Dame wants out, they have an aging roster, and they have Doc for a head coach. Giannis should try and get traded to Warriors, I think him and Steph would have better chemistry and have higher chances of winning compared to Dame.

It depends on if Tyrese and Pascal can be great at the same time because since his injury and since Pascal has gotten there he has been Good but to win this series he has to be great like he was in the beginning of the season to have a shot of winning this series

I think he needs to sit out the year, KD got a calf injury right before the playoffs and it turned into an Achilles tear, same with olidipo, he rushed back from his quad and ended up tearing his patellar... He can be a contender for a few more years

Tyrese gave such a great answer. I think that’s what the people at espn wanted to hear and what the fans like to hear. If he keeps up this play averaging 20 and 10 and the pacers get a a little better I think we can start looking at him as one of the faces of the league.

Yea i agree Dame gotta go 😂😂😮‍💨🤝🏾

pacers gonna sweep them, giannis is gonna demand a trade, dame is gonna finally get his wish and go to miami, and doc rivers is gonna be exiled from the nba. the smartest thing they can do is rest giannis, and somehow convince him to run it back next year. this isn’t the year. go all in for next year, and let him rest for the offseason. you’re getting cooked anyway, might as well get giannis back to form.

Funny how Kyrie went for one first five years from now, Dinwiddie and DFS and people acted like the Mavs sold their entire team. Meanwhile Dame went for Jrue, a 1st, and two pick swaps and he's been far worse than Kyrie

last year everyone was saying that Luka/Kyrie Duo was not going to work well. and now we see how it is going in Dallas. give them some time and continuity.

Giannis better not get mad at reporters if they get knocked out in the first round again 😂

Can you smell what Doc is cooking 😂

Wow thats wild thing to say

KEEP THAT SAME ENGERY STEPHEN A!!!

Pacers definitely going to win this series. Bucks are too old and slow to keep up with the barrage of offense the Pacers will drop on them

Thats the difference between a real point guard and most of the new point guards in the NBA today they don't think the game and make other people better which is the true job of a point guard not just scoring....

the answer on not considering MIL a rivalry was a team leader response

SAS just mad the bucks lost and now the Knicks gotta play the heat/sixers. If SAS had his way every super star would play for the heat, Knicks and lakers

Tyrese Halliburton = R&B Drake 😂😂😂 Do sum first

Pat Bev instead of Beas in that PnR will be interesting. Indy loves that high pnr with haliburten

Thanks Stephen A!!!! About time somebody put a stop to the "Money Making Middleton" BS.

Isn’t Giannis the one who had a 64 point game against the defenseless pacers?? 😂😂

Giannis Antetokounmpo want FIRED Doc Rivers ASAP 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😂😅😂😅

Steph A: "They will figure that out next year, not this year." this man has no brakes in his mouth

Nah we don’t wanna hear this now, I literally said when they traded Jrue away for dame that they were a first round exit , Everyone at this desk was glazing the bucks talking about “title contenders” before the year started , now this 😂😂😂

This is one of the rare times perk actually has a good take/prediction. SAS smoking that zaza thinking even with giannis pacers are winning 😂💀

Barely.500? They was 30-15 ☠️ that's not barely

The person to blame is whoever denied Lillard going to Miami and let Holiday leave the Bucks. Poole shouldve stayed at the warriors and Draymond fired. Morant must dropkick Lebron while we at it.

Youth vs Experience during playoffs....Its gonna be an interesting series.

I’ve been said this, Dame didn’t want to be in Milwaukee from the jump and you can tell.

We're going to crush the Pacers and get Giannis his ball back.

They won't get enough value for Lillard so trade Giannis who will want out for Wiggins, Kuminga, CP3 and 2 #1 pics.

Me and Stephen A finally had the same reaction same time we was like MONEY MAKING MIDDLETON? 😳🤔😭😭😭😭😭

Don’t trade dame

the thumbnail crazy

Let’s go Stephen A

Officiating is different since last they met right? Interesting to see how the playoffs shake out

BAHAHAHAHA trade lillard they just got him, i remember when it 1st happened stephen A was like the bucks are the team to beat lollllllllll now trade him lollllllllll.

Everybody keep that same energy BUCKS IN SIX🦌

It's a moment of truth for Lillard, his legacy is on the line. I really want him to do well but it's 50/50 at best that he would. Winning a series without Giannis will be huge

The same ppl who was sayin kyrie wasnt a fit with luka after a season or 2 is sayin the same about dame now. It takes time to gel, plus injuries, then u insert a new coach u have to learn all over. Give it another season of a healthy team atleast before talk about trading dame.

Giannis needs to give the keys to Dame Lillard. It may sound crazy but Giannis needs to play 1B and Dame 1A

dame just chillen to playoffs yall will learn but doc is a terrible coach 😂

Milwaukee needs to crush Indy via experience. Make them realize how young they really are. Let ‘em run around till they fall over just don’t let them score.

Smartest thing you said all year Stephen A but Indiana will win the whole championship Mark My Words

No way pacers are beating the bucks AT ALL. STEPHEN A STAY OOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF THE WEEEEEEEEDDD

Trade lillard after the season. And try to bring in some elite defenders.

They are better off keeping Giannis out of the series. At least they can say "We didn't have Giannis" when they lose.

every time pascal scores on bobby portis, he yells "AND 1" and portis gets so mad
