I think the Nets are better however CNF Finals & or Finals? Who are they beating?
Once again Nick wright proves that he is just trying to be Skip Bayless by saying the most outlandish things that he can come up with, there's not a 5% chance that Luka lol leaves Dallas in his career
Good for Wildes. He's 100 % right. Nick up there saying the Nets should make the Finals b/c they got Spencer Dinwiddie, but complaining how Lebron doesn't have enough help when he has AD. Wildes won the segment.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Is it just me or does Kevin wildes not get to talk anymore???
The way Wildes said “watch each other cook” had me in shambles
The meme that dominates sports twitter 😂
Omg I was hoping someone said it
This is wrong. Wtf do y'all think KD and KY were doing in Brooklyn?? They was watchomg each other cook too tf
@@mathewsb19951 You mad about something? 😆🤡
I’m so glad other people found that hilarious, had to rewind to make I heard right😂
I'm entirely with brou here, Nick flipped his script REAL QUICK when his son gets kyrie vs when he doesn't have him. No, mavs will still not go anywhere or do anything.
Nick has been saying that all NBA Season long that the Mavs are gonna win the title because of "his Son". He said it when they didn't had a number two on their team.
@@Spidervenom23they don’t want to admit Nick is right. They rather paint him as just a LeBron rider who thinks Kyrie can ONLY win with LeBron. Rather fight shadows then what a person actually says
That's because Nick identifies with those who say Jesus was not the Messiah
You've been a fan for a while. I am also. The real know Luka is Nicks Son. Lol
@@SirBackPack @Spidervenom23
Even if he’s been proclaiming championship all year it still doesn’t justify his immediate flip on Kyrie. He hated him for three years but the second his husband LeBum or his son Luka can have him suddenly Ky is a savior
"You just told me KD can make it to the finals with Spencer Dinwiddie. Maybe LeBron can make it to the playoffs with AD, idk." LMFAO good one WIldes.
Ad has missed 23 games
KD was swept in the first with Kyrie
It was a close sweep though
You don't watch NBA games coz obviously your logic is based only on papers. Put some context bruh.
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥
AD is like glass and misses many games. Lebron is near 40, while KD is 33. LBJ shouldn’t be playing 36-40 mins a game at his age but does. Yes, a 40 year old should have more help and consistent players. Common sense would tell you that
Nick flipping like a gymnast overnight he's a kyrie guy now
Nah, it’s been pretty consistent that Kyrie is reliable for a bit less than a full season with his new team before he gets bored and becomes toxic. Nick’s take makes sense here.
I didnt see someone flip. And i hate Nick. Mavs will be better just for this season. Beyond that? Thats not a guarantee as Kyrie is nuts
@@thrawncaedusl717 GAWK GAWK GAWK how does nicky wrongs meat taste? Get off your knees kid he's a terrible analyst
Nicks take is spot on. Mavs gambling on getting a lot better this season and winning it all.
He literally said kyrie will cause Luka to leave Dallas
BREAKING NEWS: KYRIE UNHAPPY IN DALLAS
THIS JUST IN: LUKA DEMANDS TRADE TO BROOKLYN OR HE'LL SIT OUT
@@johnnylove2073 REPORT: LEBRON REQUESTS TRADE TO DALLAS
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
Well he didn't wanna go there
Lol ikr. I see it now !
Broussard was sounding like rob Parker there for a second lol
Can’t wait to see Luka and Kyrie play together
how was it?
It’s pretty good actually
@@runningwithcat6195close to the best offense in basketball since you asked
Nick will suddenly become a Kyrie fan.
Give it two weeks and Nick will hate on him again. The Mavs will lose in the short term with the chemistry issues and limp into the playoffs.
mr inconsistency strikes again
He literally said he thinks Kyrie is a hired gun and can work in a short term. Long term he causes problems. He works well for a bit then things get outta hand. He didn't change his take on Kyrie or the Mavs.
New reports say that Mavs might be fine with Kyrie being a 1 year rental because by trading Spencer and DFS, they freed up a good amount of cap space. Even though it’s a good possibility Kyrie extends with Mavs. If Nets wanted to win now, Pheonix might have been the better trade. If they wanted to free up cap space and get two first round picks, Lakers were the better trade. They possibly could have gotten more good role players from a Jazz LA 3 team trade, but Russ would be going to the Nets and KD wouldn’t be very happy I assume. Imo though, Mavs lost the trade if they did it to win. They will climb the standings in the regular season, but their backcourt will get torched defensively in the playoffs. Unless they make another trade and somehow get some very good 3&D wing players.
A hidden benefit of playing for the Mavs is that Texas doesn’t have a state income tax. That adds up to a lot of money especially for what they are being paid. I recently moved to Florida which also doesn’t have state income tax and it makes a difference.
Problem is the free agent class at the end of the season is pretty ordinary.
Except for the fact that Free Agents have historically avoided DAL
@@cotati76you'll pay for that no income tax in other ways. It's not as big Ig deal as it's made out to be.
@@IllusiveMan343 I’ve been here two years and love it. I was born and raised in the Bay Area most of my life so it’s not close. It’s way cheaper to live here than where I was and I make more money.
Very curious to see how luka's game evolves now that he doesnt necessarily have to have the ball every second of every possession. He needs to prove that he can adjust so that he doesnt end up like harden in his prime years.
He wants the ball, all the time.
@@stuartperry8141 He plays off-ball with Slovenia and sometimes last year with Brunson, this years the Mavs without the ball in Luka's hands are clueless 0-7 and against mostly bad teams. Kyrie may not be a solution, but doing nothing wasn't good either, and in case Kyrie leaves or they decide not to sign him for next year they have cap space to try to get another star.
@@stuartperry8141 Giannis leads NBA in usage rate with 38.6 Luka is 2nd with 38.3 Embiid is 3rd with 37.7 Those 2 are just as ball dominant but you haters act like Luka is miles ahead in usage rate
Embiid had the same usage rate as Luka last season and Giannis leads NBA in usage rate this season but everyone is acting like Luka is by far the most ball dominant player in the NBA when in reality Giannis and Embiid are just as ball dominant
He about stats to me they should have kept Brunson then traded spencer for some another perimeter defender then they would have been better and still would have freed up cap space but idk this depends on luka play style off the ball
Great quote by Wildes:
"If you think KD can make it to the finals with Spencer Dinwiddie, maybe Lebron can make it to the PLAYOFFS with Anthony Davis." xD
Kd has a team full of great role players. If kd snd kyrie we’re swapped with lebron and AD on teams ( or pg and Kawhi ) I’d 200% expect Lebron in finals unless injuries. Claxton in running for dpoy and shooters everywhere plus other 3nD and defenders . Lakers don’t have a single 3nD wing ( or shooter, Lebron has to take most threes it’s that bad )
Gold😭😭😂
Didn't AD get hurt right when the Lakers were getting momentum? How is LeBron supposed to win with that?
@@khalxd1991 look at the nets record with kd out.
This was a dagger to the 🎯Wildes was the hired assassin lol loved it. This was perfect. Wildes makes my day
Nick talking about kd making the finals and we have people saying lebron needs more help to get to the playoffs 😭
FACTS
Does LeBron have a great shooting team that's also a great defensive team? give lebron scrap metal and he can make you a car. Give him paper mache you get first place at the science fair. Its nice but you couldn't spring the $10 to get him some rusted scrap?
Give Lebron the KDless nets team at any point so far (including right now) and they go to the finals
@@Patton001 he can’t even make the playoffs w AD AND RUSS 3 top 75 players
@@Patton001lmao somebody’s stuck in 2012
What a crew. I love this show
Has anyone in the media watched Luka play with Dragic in the Euro league? He wasn't this iso ball dominant player until he had to be bc they didn't have anyone else to pair him with. Even with Brunson he was less of an iso player, and Kyrie is on another level.
But is he as EFFECTIVE without the ball?
Nah, Dragic isn't ISO player at all and he is his countryman, that's why they worked together.
Did they win gold? No, there it doesn't matter.
@@coops1992 but he was the primary ball handler
@@hughhefner5348 he was playing alongside Dragic
Dallas is gonna regret this move BIG TIME.
If they don't sign him that might be their best decision.
Why? Either you win a chip and possibly resign or just free up a ton of cap space?
They’d have been better letting him go else where and trying for KD he’s a better fit with luka for sure
Nah, worst case scenario they just dont re-sign him. They can use the cap space they freed up to go get somebody else
@@verbaljohnwilkesboot there ain't no game changers in the upcoming free agency
I wonder why Nick doesn’t show their defensive rating when Luka is on the court and off the court…
Dallas defensive rating with Luka ON court - 115.3
Dallas defensive rating with Luka OFF court - 122.5
Luka's defensive rating is 111.6. For context, the best defensive rating is Giannis with 107.2.
How about win-loss record when luka doesn’t play?
I love this Luka Defense thing, they did this with Dirk, you wanna watch some other ratings of players you think can defend, lets go look, is gonna surprise you! you think Lebum or Steph has a good rating? look again
Exactly
@@KianFajardo idc what stats say Luka is trash on defense
Thank you Brou, for being the voice of reason across basketball. I’m baffled how many people think this is a good idea
It wasn't reasonable when he said A.D. was still a top 10 player at this point! Where is the evidence in the last three years?
@@neckbone7645 the argument could be made for the stretch’s he has had while healthy, I guess lol
@@boricua9071 it hasn't been a stretch in the last two years at minimum that he was even close to the top 10. Not even top 20 if you're honest. He's barely played and the team has been garbage! Just name the top 10 players in the league this year to yourself and how does anybody fix their mouth to include Anthony Davis in the discussion? I didn't understand him injecting that into the conversation.
@@neckbone7645 Honestly, AD is a top 3 player when healthy, unfortunately he's only healthy 33% of the time.
@@neckbone7645 Actually, he's had a bunch of nick-nack issues in those games. We've seen glimpses of his play while FULLY HEALTHY...he went a stretch this year and was immediately in the conversation for MVP before he got injured.
Nick set himself up nicely. If Dallas wins, he’s mr consistent. If they don’t win, he was still right and Dallas lost because of kyrie lol
Very true
Right 😂😂😂😂
That guy is just a paid talker
It is a reasonable position to have because Kyrie wants his money and he could behave himself for 3 months. Anyway, Dallas has a lot less Saturday People than NYC, so this will help.
You haven’t been paying attention regarding Kyrie. Keep up.
Chris not the bag jokes you funny af lol😂😂
The same guy that said with Kyrie they have a second round exit ceiling is now saying he can make the conference finals or finals.
How is Kyrie blamed for starting this drama when the majority of the “problems” this year were actually caused by management, including in my opinion the entire documentary situation
Kyrie had drama in Cleveland, Boston and New York . .
When ppl show you who they are , believe them
Been waiting for this, love the show!
Wildes and BROU SMOKED NICK LMFAOO
"Win some games"
Wildes was on a tear this whole segment🤣🤣
So according to nick, the mavs will win the chip this year and simultaneously this trade was a bad idea?
It's pretty impressive
he said they would win before getting kyrie.. is that too much for your small brain to comprehend?
You must not understand how NBA contracts work....
Yes?
Well, He’s right.
This move is giving me Westbrook to the Lakers vibes Dallas Gon regret this
Kyrie is 50/40/90 please shut up😂😂
@bossplaya6069 That means nothing when you come with as much baggage, drama and team destroying mentality as he does...
@@bossplaya6069 watch bball genius
@@thisnewnamesystemisdumb these talk shows and the media wouldn’t exist, they look to create narratives and y’all follow them… but ok😂
@@exclusiveman5 wth are you talking about? Kyrie literally averaged 36PPG his last 11 games while KD was out…
The „Prozingis Treatment“ love it
These 3 guys are Truly the Bread, Peanut Butter, and the Jelly of Sports Analysts... 🔥🔥💯
Dallas did make the conference finals last year I don’t understand why it’s hard to believe they could at least make the finals.
thank u!!!
Exactly!!!!! And the crazy thing is they weren’t even expected to make it that far last year, According to every analyst out there they were a 1st round exit team and they didn’t even gave them a chance against the suns in that series and well we know how that ended
@@juanvillarreal6892 the warriors and clippers pose a threat , but yeah I agree Dallas have a decent chance but we should revisit this 30 games from now , hopefully my lakers are looking better :(
Keep sleeping on Denver
Because 2 hall hogs usually don’t work
Nick is one Willy Wonka day away from ending his rants with “you lose! good day sir!”
😂😂😂😂
KD went from playing with Steph and Klay, Kyrie and James to Ben Simmons 😂
Brussard's hairpiece is on point
We all know that when the Mavs lose this postseason Nick is gonna put ALL the blame on Kyrie
This move is giving me the Westbrook to the Lakers-vibe!
Nah
Kyrie can actually shoot
Kyrie fits on any team
@@zainbouali6288 Irving becomes a free agent this summer and will jump ship looking for $$$
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone I meant on the floor he can play on any team I'm not saying he's staying
Does anyone doubt they’ll be the best offense??? Yeah. Most people do
Whenever one of Nick’s takes falls through or he gets called out on something, he just talks over Wildes or Brou instead of taking his loss.
Kyrie is what will make mavs win NBA championship or go out of playoffs in second round.
Unless they score 140 points a game they are in trouble. 3/5 of the starting/closing lineup doesn’t even attempt to play defense. Luka, Wood, Kyrie. And they got rid of their best defender in Finney-Smith. Kyrie has killed 3 teams in 7years. Is Dallas next?
can miss the playoffs because Kyrie takes a break because of family/personal issue
@@d3vp131 yes Dallas is next. A person Kyries age doesn’t suddenly change who they fundamentally are as a person. And he’s a locker room cancer and inevitable distraction.
@@d3vp131 DAL needs a scorer and a ball-handler to lead the team when Luka is not on the field or it's heavily guarded. Kyrie can exploit defenses if Luka is doubled all game long and is a far better scorer for games that Luka rests or misses due to injuries.
DAL needed a change or to give away the seasson for good, 0-7 without Luka, blowing huge leads when he rests... you either move to change that or Luka will be demanding a trade soon, he is carrying a team that lost 2 times against HOU without him to PO in the west.
@@eile4219 don’t forget he recently became a Muslim and was fasting in the playoffs last season. So no food or drink from sun up to sundown. I swear this guy does everything he can to sabotage himself. He was a “hermeticist” a couple years ago so he changes his religion like people change shoes.
I just love Nick lol! 😂 The point he made towards the end was gold! "Who's job is it to find quality role players? Oh right it's my job." lmao!
Wildes was spot on with "watch each other cook"
God it feels good to look back on video. Happy Easter Day!
Good for kyrie 😢
Nick Wright was on his job today he was spot on with his takes today.
Wildes what do I call myself? 🤣
FTF got the split screen cameras now 😂
I am not for sure if anyone can blame the Mavs for the KP deal. If KP and Luka could figure out how to play together they would have been unstoppable.
The Mavs loss to the clippers in the playoffs two years in a row. Both of those years KP missed games. When KP and Luka was in the game together in that series, they were cooking the clippers.
KP and Luka should have worked
KP played in all 7 games in 21. They blamed him for not playing in 20 why they lost, and then blamed him again in 21 when he did play.
Kristaps porzingis is not as good as people think ....he will probably never even make a all star game
He just couldn’t stay healthy
@@ZACKSTACK1204 he wasn’t healthy. He could barely move lol
Tingus Pingus not even good. Borderline all star.....role player.
i think they can win it all this year they just need one more defensive piece
Lol
Once again, I can't wait for dinner to watch this. This has to be addressed now. I love this show so much...
We've not heard Bob Parkers take on all this yet..... WWOAW!!
Kyrie worked well with LeBron. Clearly Luka isn’t LeBron athletically, but he does everything lebron did in Cleveland minus the defense, plus much better shooting. I need to see it on the floor, but I believe it’s a great fit.
Breaking news: NBA teams want Kevin Durant to play for them
The issue I’m having with this shows now is Nick has his own what’s right show and Chris does the odd couple. I literally have to hear Chris and nick say the exact same thing twice. I don’t mind the extra shows but they should try and tackle different topics on each show so it’s not repetitive.
He said “watch each other cook”💀
I agree with Nick Wright here. If KD can somehow carry these Nets to a championship, his legacy would be heightened exponentially and that's what I'm pulling for
I’m interested in Cam Thomas & Dinwiddie backcourt
I think together they can create the offense they just lost. KD should be happy with this, hopefully he plays out the season at least
KD, simmons, spencer, royce, claxton, finney-smith, tj warren, seth, joe harris, cam thomas, sharpe, patty. I think they’re deep
@@sasakikojiro5499 sorry that’s not deep
@@blkKilla 12 players isn’t deep?
@@sasakikojiro5499that’s definitely not deep lol. Boston, Philly, and Milwaukee, & Miami are all better teams.
lol idk why this popped up the day of game 4 but I’m happy
If the nets get some player for Toronto or somewhere with the picks they have, they can still be a great playoffs team.
When was Luka crowned a guy that can carry a team to a chip? They looked like a G-league team last year against the warriors. This wasn’t the Warriors with KD. It was Steph vs Luka, and Luka did what he always does. Dribble the air out of the ball and be wildly inefficient
😂😂😂he’s 23 and only Wilt had a better first 20 games in the playoffs or something like that! What are you even talking about
Probably last year carrying them to the wcf and having one of the best playoff performers in the the first 5 or so years…?
Luka will go down as just another Carmelo Anthony and T-Mac lol.
@@coops1992 I didn't know Melo and T-mac had Euroleague mvp's and championships as teenagers.
Warriors look like a JV team this entire season…
Bru stopping himself from saying keep his mouth shut is hilarious 😂
Chris Broussard doing his best Stephen A Smith impression.
Nick has always respected Kyrie’s talent.. just know he’s going to inevitably start some drama at some point. Not a Mavs fan but I hope it works out.
Why. You know it’s not… it involves Kyrie
Also, the lineup around Durant looks great as well. I think this makes Brooklyn a very hard out for both Celtics and Bucks.
Celtics and Bucks whooping them in 5 games.
😂
Irving becomes a free agent this summer and will jump ship looking for $$$
I’m not worried about them playing together. They were saying the same thing when harden went to nets. Luka is just as good a passer if not better. Only thing they need to address is the interior defense situation and they have a legit shot of winning west.
Luka be asking for a trade next 😆 🤣 lol
Nicks stats this segment
49 pts
22 Rebs
15 Asts
8 Steals
6 Blocks
If you added up the combined weight of every team I’m guessing the nets would rank dead last.
13:58 14:02 Gold 😂😂😂😭😭⚰
Sports fan can be very, let's say not smart sometimes. If the Mavs fail, it will not be because of their offense.
I agree this is a great opportunity for KD and his legacy building.
What legacy ?
@@victormuhammad2678 As one of the greatest basketball players of all time, wherever you want to rank him.
@@victormuhammad2678 exactly 🤣😁😆
Here's KD's legacy, KD left OKC went to the best team in the league,won two rings,left the best team in the league, NEVER won another ring 😆😁🤣🤣😂😀😀😄😄😅
@@thenoseknows9391 That's why I say this is a great opportunity for KD! His legacy would massively improve if he won with this Nets team.
Nick right on both.
I can't believe the Nets passed on Paul, Crowder, and a 1st. That would have made the Nets much better than they were with Kyrie. If I was KD I'd be upset about that.
You serious?
CP3 with KD that's a championship guarantee
Mavs offer was better lol
Nick is so freaking good man
Salute my brother
Best sports talk show
i keep thinking about the Rondo trade that the Mavs did. mmmh that didnt go well..
Why desperation instead of aggression? Why is not just a solid, aggressive move to go over the top?
Didn't we see something similar with Westbrook and Harden in Houston? "You go, then I go"... that was literally the game plan, it bombed
Facts!!!
🙌🏽Nick(mr. Consistency)Wright ,said "the mavs" first to trade for Kyrie.
Is this Sinbad little brother Binbad 🤣🤣🤣
Is there such a thing as “the long run” in professional sports nowadays? It’s pretty much this year and then we’ll see what happens.
Wilde's is so funny😂😂😂
Brou right. And Nick gives himself away with the unserious look on his face as he explains his point
Seems like Wildes has a take that actually makes a ton of sense. let’s see if he puts something together for us .
Great to see Tom Green doing good. Never knew he was into sports.
Nick Wright just chooses one player he likes and sticks with him their whole career. He has the most casual basketball takes in media. Lol
WHAT, WATCH EACH OTHER COOK.😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
Does anyone know why they aren’t in the studio together
How Nick Right still has a job is mind blowing.
This is why NICK is the Goat 🐐
Just an observation here. Most championship teams have two way players. Like the bulls. MJ AND PIPPIN. Hakeem with the rockets. And so on. What the mavs will be will be a fun team to watch scoring but still ends up in a sour note going home and a team that plays defense beat will them then the frustration will grow in the future.
“watch each other cook” 💀
Dallas was NOT a Kyrie away from a championship.
Okay but now that the Mavs traded what they did they no longer have the same offense
I love this show 😂😂😂
Where is this chemistry talk with Kevin Durant and kyrie coming from. They only played 74 games together in the max of 3+ years. Less than a full season 😂
Lol, still laugh every time Nick says Bron was a good defender
I like the Take from Professor Snape
Tell me a 2 ball dominant duo that ever worked?
I don't think that Wildes' comments on whose gonna iso more between Luka and Kyrie is not really being the Mayor of Fair.
Dude on the left, looks like Paulie Malignagg. *Is it a clone???
