Watching this at halftime of Game 1. This is aging quite nicely. Credit Big Perk.
Dame was playing out of his mind! Not only Dame but credit to Bucks defense plus Bobby and Middleton were great!
@@StewieStan2K😊
Game 2
Bucks winning this series dame n kris Middleton is a duo everybody sleeps on for some reason😴
Middleton a shell of the player he once was. He's not the same. Dame going through personal stuff. They do have playoff experience though.
@@xDaPrincex even kris bein a shell of himself nobody on pacers can guard em except maybe pascal but he got bigger problems to worry bout in the paint
cause their play is sub standard crap.
@@silvergold2140 83 to 64 3rd quarter dame got 35 kris got 16 prolly will end wit 25 maybe 30 … nuff said
@@trustnun_staylow but have they won the game? not yet, and with Doc?? Nuff Said
35 points first half … Dame. Someone done pissed off Lillard (SAS)
Did ya”all forgot dame time and Kris Middleton, good call perk
meanwhile the Heat are getting massacred on national television
Celtics aren’t even playing that good either Heat offense without Butler is just that bad. Shoutout bam tho he’s going everything he can
It hurts to watch
i want the heat to beat the celtics
Well the HEAT never showed up for this game. The Celtics Bench, 10-16 from 3 pointers. The entire Heat Team, 12-37. This is what happens when most team aren't caring about Fundamentals and only mostly about 3 pointers.
@@Love2MusgraveAs a Pacer fan I want heat to beat them also😅
God bless you Perk... ❤
BIG PERK WAS ON THE MONEY!
Coming from the man who got 6 NBA finals in a row wrong
I can't wait to see his face today on ESPN, let's see how he's talking today..
Byebye 😂
So I wonder what SAS will say about this lol
Exactly I’m hawking tf outta his twitter im ready to check his ahh
Big perk the only one that played & won in the NBA….And it shows
Pacers in 6 A star is about to be born this series at Point guard
Facts! TJ McConnell gonna get his respect finally
This isn't going to go how you think.
Bucks in 6 don’t be fooled
Pacers will fold.
@@jdxsr85 shi they folding right now wym 😭
Bucks in 6 playoff game on no fear
Who else here at half🤔🤔
Hysterical. His takes are at like an 80% failure rate these days. I'll always love Stephen A but cmon man 😆😆
@@user-np1hg5cp1o same, love the guy but wow, he must’ve forgot dame carried Portland for a decade with less help then this bucks team even without giannis, he’s used to this, the haters can stay on the other side
@@gringosaiyan6084 Then game 2 happened and they became the first home team to lose in these playoffs.
@@anthonychurch726 they literally won, he said they wouldn’t, that’s all there is to it simple as that
@@gringosaiyan6084 He said they wouldn't win the series so until they do he isn't wrong.
That’s why I stop watching ESPN cause they always think they right cause they are so called “basketball analysts”.
Perk the best analyst of this trio 😂😂😂
Dame in 5
This didn’t age well
Game 2 was crazy 😂
bucks up 20 in the 2nd quarter 🤣🤣
This aged well! There goes my parlay
I love all these takes blowing up in the faces of everyone by halftime of game 1.
That cut to SAS when perk say "Money makin middleton" 😂
SAS talked about the Bucks' inability to neutralize the Pacers defensively and already after game 1 they held them to their lowest points in a game this season
When everybody started picking against us I loved it I knew we were gonna win we have more experience dame out for revenge series 😈 tyrese Halliburton don't ever hit your wrist again bucks in 6
I just love everyone seemed to forget that this Pacers team has little post game exp and it showed. I also pointed out before that " we will see if The Pacers can play the way they do in the post season when things are different" . I am just glad they one a game and the bad thing was The Pacers shot so poorly from 3pt line that will not hold throughout the season.
Eat your words Stephen A. Eat you words 😂😂😂😂
Used to remember Giannis surviving a hyperextended knee in 2021 playoffs to also end up winning the championship
Sucks this is a different case of a strained calf 😔
True but they didn't have Doc
KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY BUCKS IN SIX🦌
The take aged bad
watching this rn, while the bucks are completely dominating the pacers w/o giannis 😮
Looking for Stephen A
You know something is wrong when Perk is the only one with a logical take.
Who keeps letting Steven a smith talk about basketball
2021 wasn't a good regular season either and won the championship
Geez wonder what is Stephen a Smith going to say today
I don't think they will any problem first game. I think with just one of there two stars they can take out anybody except the very top dogs convincingly. We have seen it all year, Individually GA and Damien have been excellent, particularly when the other is out. But the problem is together they have not equaled what they should be on paper. Given how good they each are and they dominate different areas of the court they should be a great duo. But when they are on the floor together they take a step back, and become more vulnerable to worse teams, but if they don't play together they won't have a chance of punching up to the best teams.
Shout out to the big man!
Stephen is the same guy that said "I don't want to go to Milwaukee for the finals, it's cold".... he said this in July.
Big Perk ❤❤
I CANT NO WAY NO WAY
NO WAY KENDRICK PERKINS IS AS OF RIGHT NOW IS RIGHT ABOUT HIS PREDICTION😂
A certain point guard is indeed blossoming right now at the half
Perfect opportunity for the Pacers to get some playoff experience and build some more team chemistry. Sucks they don't have Benedict Mathurin 😕
Go perk
Imma need an update on this video
Dame time! Dame in 6
My Clippers, who I’ve given up on, is up 24 against Dallas and without Kawhi? Interesting. Still early. This is their last dance. Now or never, Clippers.
Pat4Clippers your setting up the perfect Eddie Mush moment. After the game write a essay or 3 about how it’s the Flippers time 😏
LOL at these fools doubting Dame! 35pts in the 1st half!🔥🔥🔥
This aged well
Bucks win the series why yall act like dame aint never been in playoff mode?!?!
And Steven A don’t jump on the clippers jock now ! Keep sameeeee energy
My Bratha SAS
😂
Stephen a use to make sense but now he just talking out his behind like what’s your beef with Milwaukee boy?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Home court isn't going to matter much, Indiana is basically next to Milwaukee
Pacers ain't winning
@@Love2Musgrave they aren’t losing to a team they’ve destroyed all year even before getting siakim, you can be delusional like Lakers fans it won’t change the outcome 🤣
Home court is way more about crowd compared to travel. As a bucks fan though, I think we are cooked unless Dame plays like he is in his prime
@@ishyameru6232ok buddy 😂😂
@@ishyameru6232yeah ok 😂
I can't believe this game Willard is doing what ever he wants to do, Paces are known for their defense
Aaaaaaaaaaand Dame Time BLOWS THIS TAKE UP‼️
I feel so much better now about my bet now that SAS is taking the Pacers 😂
Perk knows somethin…
PERKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pacers winning game 1 wasn't exactly a controversial take as Vegas had them favoured on the road. That being said, it's not a series until the home team loses...I still think Indiana will win this series
As long as there is Thanasis the Bucks have nothing to fear.
the suit is crazy af stephen a
Old guys shouldn't wear pink.
Keepppp that same energy !! Yall all doubted the Bucks! Now watch yall ride their jock now! Steven and perk said the series is over without Giannis . Watch the flip flop
Who’s here after the game 1 domination by the bucks and dame who “doesn’t wanna be here”
They can but they won't huh. . . Okay. . . Let's see how it goes
Cant wait for Jokic to win again and be called playoff mvp and league mvp and have 2 of these guys cry themselves to sleep.
1:10 Never said never.. no matter how a game start, but how its finish.. regards
In 2019 OKC swept Portland in the regular season, then lost to Portland in the 1st round 4-1.
So don’t assume the pacers will beat the bucks this series based on the regular season.
Bad comparison. OKC didn't add a star between the season and the playoffs. Portland didn't change coaches to one who has a losing record since they came on. Portland also did not go into the series with an injured star. You didn't think your copium laced comment through
@@Peacekeepa317 you’re completely missing the point, you clearly didn’t think your comment through. I guarantee i can use other examples when a regular season match up didn’t translate to the playoffs. But go ahead and try to make yourself sound smart.
@@Peacekeepa317 I think you missed the point lol, just because something happened in the regular season, doesn't mean it'll happen in the playoffs. Also sidenote, on paper that OKC team should've won that series or at least done better, they had 2 superstars & PG was 3rd in the MVP race that year.
Hold um to 18% from three. Thats what we'll do defensively
I smell a sweep coming courtesy of the Pacers
Sweep would be insane. Pacers don’t have momentum and don’t have a lot of expiernce I just don’t see them being able to dominate like that
@@mattmmixesdon’t have momentum??? Coming off a 42 point win
@@byt865 vs the “hawks”. I’m not saying they’ve been horrible but they haven’t gone on any big streaks recently just a 2-3 wins in a row then a lose which is fine but to go from that to sweep is unlikely.
you need to get your nose checked buddy
Bookmarking this for future comments lol….
Middleton going to go off
Exact same thing happen to KD, he came back in the finals after weeks of trying to recover then he tore his achilles in the first quarter. Giannis, please shut it down.
As a Pacer fan, all this hype about them taking this series is just amping up the bucks. They can't take this lightly even if it's without Giannis.
No guarantee Bucks can beat Indiana. Not a given.
😂
Well, they just did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bucks stacked thru good
i agree with perk for once
Pat bev 🤞🏾🤫
Just another SAS hot take. It's all he's got nowadays
The problem with this team has never been the roster, it's the coaching.
Espn perk is my favorite sport analysts even more than stephen a smith who i also like
Perk is right . Bucks in 6
Letsss gooooo PACERS TYRESE HALIBRUTON was coo Miles & Pascal Siakam went off.
KP lost me when he said he believes in Middleton. Idek if Middleton dropped 1 30pt game this season
SAS Spoke…. And Milwaukee dominate… a classic
Yes, the Bucks can beat Pacers without Giannis... in 7!
In 4
@@charlesweidner232 relax it's a series! Wait and see how Indiana plays at home.
Sometimes you know when to take somebody out.. he seems like he had people put money on the game across the pond
I can see the bucks upsetting the pacers without giannis. The pacers only have the hamburger dude along with some consistent casuals
Bucks beating Pacers is not an upset.

@@NixonsParanoia That numbers mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is the postseason. Bucks are the 3 seed. Pacers are the 6. Bucks win is not an upset. Period.
Bucks in 6
OKC 🎊
Halli is from Milwaukee
He’s from Oshkosh. Like an hour and a half away.
Jesusssss!!! I need Stephen A to support the Clippers so that way the Mavs can win!!!
I say rest giannis til the next series after bucks clean up the pacers. They dont need him for it.
That’s CAP he was at practice on Wednesday doing walk throughs
If Miami won without their Butler and so has the Pelicans without Zion then lets see what the Bucks do
always listen to the "experts" 🤣
Stephen A hates Milwaukee so I don't take that clown seriously.
Who they got besides Dame CONSISTENTLY? & you call him the clown lmao. Their best bet is to hope Pacers players choke due to lack of playoff experience otherwise this series is over quick. We'll see.
@@xDaPrincex Blew them out game 1 without Giannis. Bucks showsed how good they are when they play their A game. OInly an idiot think the Packers have to choke for the Bucks to win.
if the bucks lose this year, they don't have much hope for the near future
FR tho I don’t see any path to them being able to win a chip unless dame turns back the clock. Might actually need to trade dame just to have a chance.
This series is over - SWEEP
I never liked Kendrick Perkins, but dude is the only one that was correct with his take.
Pacers missing a starter and they have like 60 minutes of playoff experience. They’ll be alright.
Damian Lillard can’t seem to get a break you leave Portland to go to Milwaukee and you end up still playing by yourself😂
Hot Take: The Indiana Pacers will make to the Eastern Conference Finals
no they won't
It’s the Pacers time to shock the world let’s get it 💪
@@Love2Musgravewho beating them outside of boston?
@@3x739so far the pacers are 0-1 in the playoffs 😂
@@MeBihhhh easy to come back and say that after the game is over, talk in the moment not when it’s already over.
