The playoffs reached a pivotal moment, and last night superstars turned into superheroes in a bunch of wild games.
We gotta start off in Dallas where the Clippers and especially Paul George came out like a hurricane.
PG was unstoppable, with 26 points in the first half, and he hit the PJ Washington pose from last game, to let him know who’s who.
Thing is, we got vintage Harden as well as he dissected the Mavericks defense, got the matchups he wanted, and from there he started cooking.
And on the other end Terrance Mann hounded Luka all over the court. This suffocating defense limited Doncic to 12 points on 4 for 12 shooting in the first half.
Everything was going the Clippers way. 14 threes on a blistering 67% shooting in a half is unreal. So their lead skyrocketed to 31 points and the arena was stunned.
You could see however that they believed their team could come back, as the crowd erupted during a mini run by the Mavs to cut the lead down to 22.
I’ve never seen this type of atmosphere during a 20 point deficit.
So, led by this, Dallas clawed their way back to a 17 point game at the half.
And things got wild in the third quarter as this run got them all the way back in the game.
This set us up for an insane back and forth battle where Dallas really put the pressure on the Clippers, and they actually took the lead.
All they had to do now, is stop the Clippers on defense, but Harden was unstoppable…
And with the game on the line, PG who was quiet in the second half, did the impossible…
What a hero shot from behind the backboard, to give the Clippers the lead, allowing the beard, to seal the deal in the subsequent possessions as the Mavs did not have any answer for him and his 15 points in the 4th quarter for a total of 33 in the game.
The Clippers won an absolute shootout of a game which I rated an 8.8 on rategame, the app that I’m a part of. I’m on there every gameday and we’re growing rapidly so you can join me by downloading from the link in the description.
Moving on to Philly where I hate to say this, but Joel Embiid showed us that he’s a dirty player, and all those accidents from the previous games were not inadvertent.
But the cheap shots would not scare the Knicks away as Brunson exploded for 47 points, a Knicks franchise high in the playoffs
and Hart had the best 4 point game that you’ll ever see. 0 for 7 from the field but he did this…
He had 5 offensive rebounds and 17 total in this game.
But when it mattered the most, with the game on the line, you know who the Knicks would turn to.
This was a tight game but an ugly one, with sort of an anticlimactic ending with both teams missing a whole lot of shots in the 4th.
The Knicks went 6 for 21 in the final period and the Sixers shot 6 for 24.
And Embiid was 0 for 5 in the last 12 minutes as Philadelphia loses a crucial game at home.
For all the drama that happened in this game I gave it an 8.7 and it seems that I was too generous, but hey, my Knicks won so I felt good about it.
I do agree with Nico however that the rebounding won them the game.
Minnesota went for the sweep against Phoenix, so Edwards and Towns knew that they’d need to come out with their A-game in order to close out this series.
And that’s exactly what they did.
But unlike the previous 3 games, there wasn’t a blowout third quarter run for the Timberwolves and we finally got a thriller in the 4th.
Edwards went crazy in the 4th with 16 points in the 4th quarter and 40 overall.
And then in the clutch, just look at this championship level defense here by the Timberwolves.
Minnesota absolutely clamped down on the Suns and allowed them just 1 field goal in the final 3 minutes of the game.
And meanwhile, Edwards wanted to drop the hammer and put an end to this series.
Wooow, what a player, Ant had a combined 31 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 51% from the field and 43% from downtown in 4 games, absolutely dominating this series and completely outplaying the Suns big 3.
Despite the sweep however it wasn’t all fun and games for Minnesota, as he suffered some friendly fire and went down with an injury. The reports are that he may have ruptured his patella tendon, and I don’t know if he’d be able to be on the sidelines for game 1 of the second round.
I totally agree with Chickenmans that even tho it was a close game, I thought that the Wolves always had control.
Speaking of that, I kinda had a feeling that Indiana would have control of the game just by looking at the starting lineups. With Giannis and Dame injured, the Pacers were the favorites at home, but Milwaukee were ready to fight, and I mean literally.
Portis throws a punch and is immediately ejected, making the Bucks roster even weaker for this game.
And the Pacers saw the opportunity and immediately jumped on it. - Sport
Beal being paid almost as much as Jokic is terrible
True pros don't get caught up in that. Otherwise they end up like Shawn Kemp.
Yeah. Overly paid for player who does well on a bad team.
They get the bag for achieving nothing these days...
he is the best paid 3rd option in the league by far
Not going to speak on whether or not he's worth his contract since I don't pay attention to the money side of things but Beal is a really good player it just makes no sense for him to be in Phoenix him KD and Booker are highly redundant and give diminishing returns together
those switches on defense by the Timberwolves were a masterclass
PG back to the OKC days and Harden to the Houston days.
PG OKC? what are u smoking
@@wstewPG got the best season of his career with OKC, 3rd in MVP race. So I return the question, what are you on lil bro? Suns fans need that zaza fr
I see where your coming from, but he carried these guys to the wcf and averaged almost 30-10-5 in that series loss so we ain’t gotta go that far back 😂
And Kyrie cavs days
💪 🔥
Kidd not having gafford and/or lively in the final minutes was criminal
The dumbest move in the entire playoffs is to not have Gafford or Lively in. Then, use the excuse of needing Maxie as a stretch 5. They should of blitzed the ball out of Harden's hands. Make PG the decision maker. PG takes tough shots and makes bad decisions with the ball.
Baffled sucked in game 4. Kleber was the best big
@@DubCmusicTV yea but we were getting killed by hardens drives to the rim. They would’ve helped that.
That Sixers Knicks game was intense - pivotal game 4, both crowds upping the environment going back and forth in a tight game to be the loudest and Brunson being electric
If you would’ve told me 5 years ago that
PG,Harden,Russ,and kawhi all one 1 team man 🔥
Still getting packed up in 6
@@JuicemanGravy clippers in 6 without kawhi
@@mashions6623 we do this every year...
@@JuicemanGravy Clippers two, Mavs zero ...And about to become 3 to zero.
Would probably be over now if Kawhi had sat out to heal all series. Clippers experience and depth and coaching advantage is just too much for the Mavs to compete w/o the refs helping them along - Always putting PG in foul trouble in H1 of every game , then in G2 Luka has to go out for hurt knee... aaaand "like magic" the Mavs suddenly gain a huge sustained momentum boost. smh & LOL it wont work... except to make the jokes sting a bit more :)
Probably the most allstar 5 ever
These daily playoff videos are making my days! They’re always worth the wait! Great recaps and breakdowns! Keep this up, love your work!
Yes especially coz I work double shifts
Turner's dunk at 09:53 was so good that commentator almost died from a heart attack.
Commentator sounded like he had a stroke lol
The logo at the bottom right though, lol
7:40 That defensive sequence by the Wolves was mesmerizing 💯
Watching the other teams compared to them I must say they are very uniform and militant in their defensive positions. I want to see how they'll hold up against a team that really has them under pressure, it would be interesting to see.
Thank god u showed 7:37. ANT is my favorite player but that was my happiest moment from this series yet all everyone wants to do is talk about ANT being the next MJ.
Ant Edwards' became a man after playing in the Fiba world cup last year. he saw and experienced proper Basketball in that tournament and he came back to the NBA a totally different player.
I never bought Harden, even in his Houston days. He was foul bating like crazy and getting away, but always chocking on the playoffs. I mean, I always thought he was good, but never that great.
But game 4 against the Maverics, when the team needed, he responded like crazy. It was pretty great to watch.
Yeah Luka is the one now only going for foul bating an complaining on every play... Really annoying.
@@tl-hfit3408 All of them foul bait, butHarden - and, this season, Embiid - was being crowned as one of the best hoopers ever due to how many regular season points he scored. But almost every damn year, he choked, many times due to his grifting not working.
Sure, his style can be an eyesore and I used to hate watching him too - but to call him a choker is awfully close to taking casual bait.
1st - Look up his playoff winning % some time and compare it to at least 5-10 other MVPs last decade.
And you guys DO realize that Harden managed to go 7 games in the WCF vs a healthy 70-win team, no? That was with CP3 OUT and Capella as his best mate
and D'Antoni on the sideline doing f*ck-all but yelling _"LET THAAM THRAAAYYYYS FLAAAAHHHHH, BOYS!! CHUCK-UP SU' MAWWWW !!!"_ on repeat.
Last post-season Harden dropped in a pair of 40-pieces holding the ship together in Philly while "MVP" Embiid sits out and comes back to avg 10 under his reg season PPG.
So... who choked there? _Must have been Jimbo, right. It couldn't possibly be more about Embiid, or the coach with the most playoff chokejobs in league history...right?!_
If you think Harden was never that great:
Swap Harden career in Houston for Curry in Golden State...you think Curry would ever won a ring?
Now swap Harden to the Warriors, give prime Harden Klay, Dray, KD, Iggy and others...
That dLo for conley, Alexander-walker and 3 2nd round picks was such a good trade for the wolves!
As a Clipper
It was nice to see them come back
But that rotation on Defense from the Timberwolves was perfect
Someone gotta make a compilation of all of Ant’s dunk attempts from that series
I used to watch NBA top 10 everyday... But this is on another level... Keep it up, expand your team, dont get burnout
Pj Washington got the Clippers mad😂
Edwards is the guy they wanted Ja Morant to be
What you mean??? Ja morant is injured.
@@Nawfmem901he the new face of the league
Turner's dunk at 9:53 made the commentator go AAAEEEUUGHHH!! *AAÆÆÆÆUUGGHH!!*
miles turner with the superman dunk in a playoff game is insane🤯
Nice vid, keep the format going!
Unreal kyrie layup against 3
Ant is taking over the league
He's proved he is immune to pressure. He's got the DNA.
Ant vs Wemby 🐌🐌
@@David-iv6je yes I love his attitude. When Ja comes back, I can't wait for those two to battle it out
@@MrE_ Maybe. Ant's a freakin murderer. What I keep being struck by is what a physical monster he is on defense. He like Lu Dort on D but also an all-NBA player offense. It's a horror show for opponents. Will Beal's ego ever recover from this? It was so brutal.
I love Ant but all this talk might be a little premature. I mean, a couple of games ago he scored like 15 shooting under 30%. Just saying
Pause
8:06 That dunk by Antman 💪 🔥
What a first round so far! Loving it
almost a bronless playoffs is refreshing to witness. those series mavs vs clips, wolves vs suns is amazing to see.
No Steph and basically no Bron
Lebron lives rent free in your head
Love your videos! Thanks for it! For those of us in Europe that would love to watch 4th quarters when we wake up do you know if there is a spoiler free way to see the results as at the end of the 3rd quarter?
Love to see the Mavs crowd supporting them even when down 30.
Unlike some other teams where you would hear boos or leaving the game. They actually helped with the energy for the comeback, which almost succeeded.
Thanks for the shoutout Stefan!! GOO KNICKSSS
8:03 That sound man...
how is Embid still not ejected lol it is beyond baffling
Josh Hart grabbing 17 rebounds is crazy good
Luka should really need to work on his def
He was in foul trouble
@LonzoBullthen u didn't watch the games 🤷
They really going at each other’s throats no Diddy 👀😂
PG shot one hell of a shot
Who was the commentator in the Mavs game? Beside the crowd and the game itself, he made it so great with his energy
Embiid is such a tool he's making me forget that Ben Simmons was the biggest tool first.
Thanks
The refs were overheating their whistles on the Mavs when they were playing the same type of defense against the Clippers that they allowed Mann to play on Luka. It was ridiculous.
Portis throws punches to a little guy and once Turner closes in he starts walking backwards 🤦♂
Luka is going to have one of those killer nights in game 5
I don't know? I don't know a lot about basketball, but they are starting to look like the Cowboys!
41/7/11
Kyrie cut that 31 point lead u shoulda said some about him
they were playing like Basketball Gods out there (the future Hall of Famers)
so much for trusting the process.
I personally was put into watching basketball in my early years because of lebron and chris paul. When chris paul (my favorite player) retires i think anthony edwards might be my favorite guy to watch
Embid is a Dirty Player who always got away because of lookin innocent looking. Shame.
Knicks gonna win in 5
Embid getting booed at every fouch in the garden
He does have that innocent face doesn’t he. Like Ant
Clips in 7. Kawhi just needs new software update.
lmao
Pause @ the Title bro 😂
Loud cheers for Knicks in Phily's homecourt, poor 76ers.
No one gives kyrie credit he carried mavs with 40 point and almost saved mavs but the defence could not hold down the clips but this means that this series is the best in round 1 so far I hope mavs comeback and make it 3-2 them in lead
Deseando ver a Embiid fuera pronto.
Go Wolves!!
Minnesota is pretty clear a top 3 team in this league, excited to see them play Denver!
Brunson is amazing
3:33 Wayoff P woulda said that's a bad shot 🤫
Dbook pushing conley into their coach injurying him and then not checking on him is exactly the type of behavior that makes him so hateable.
Damn shame Mav lose that game , hope luka turn up next game and win the series
At least they learned their lesson from game 1 by making comeback
Even the refs could not help them
They are not winning shit 😅😅😅 fortunate to win 2 games as one star player was playing on one leg 🤦🤦🤦 - clippers will send them home for the 3rd time
@@kk37979 yeahhh bout that
@12euforia34 I am done with basketball 😅🤦. Congrats for the win though🤍
Embid what a clutch player lol
I was ready to pull my hair out with some of the calls that were happening in that Mavs Clippers game. That 3rd quarter especially was just awful, Zubac hasn't been able to get a break all series.
why don't you ever show the magic-cavs games?
Why didnt you post one on saturday nights resolts?
If KD didnt have such a big ego, and stayed with the warriors. Damn, wouldve been an additional 2-3 championships under his name.
Ant’s shoes were pink then blue towards the end of the game, i dont know why i noticed this, does that happen a lot, changing shoes?
30 seconds ago is will 😮
The only star with worse defense than Harden is Doncic. Each one of these teams will have a challenge winning it all due to that, Clippers may have a better chance but defense wins the championship and each of these guys are targets.
Refs and ESPN broadcast didn’t seem to happy that the clippers won. Especially when you can’t breathe on the Mavs but zubac is getting mauled down low
That Portis did he not know that the Bucks need him?
Will Rate game be released on android?
HEAVY PAUSE ON THAT TITLE MY GUY
Finally the 10 min mark
Bro has a problem with giving kyrie his credit
I also noticed that😂
The Knicks-Pacers playoff rsivalry is returning soon
I cannot believe that frank Vogel did not put Beal in the bench way early , he was just horrific, unplayable he was not doing anything….
You're just now ifhuring out Embiid is dirty? 😂😂😂
What does Embiid team mates says??
Mavs are in trouble
BUENAS TARDES. VAMOS CLIPPERS DUROS CON LOS NOVATOS PREPOTENTES LA BARBA VAMOS POR EL ANILLO. COLOMBIA ENTERA CLIPPERS CARAJOOOO💎
Im glad Brunson left for Knicks where he can unleash his potential
PG was good only the first half without harden it was 3 1
Where are you from in Europe ?
Under 5 mins gang
I commented this somewhere, but here's what i say:
I can't believe someone can be so big, soft, whiny, and dirty at the same time.
Still no App for Android 😢
EMBIID been dirty player for a long time .. SIXERS dont deserve this series... KNICKS SHOULD FINISH THEM UP 😈
Kyrie my GOAT but clippers came clutch last min.
if only you've waited a few hours. jamal murray's another game winner would have been included on this video as well hihihih.
1:09 that's horrible defense by Luka
Boston's path to the finals is so easy, Injured Heat, Cavs? Magic?, No Giannis/Dame, Braced Embiid
Embid defence foul on Brunson
What is the point of this rating app?
I see MJ in Edwards.
The basketball Gods are watching emflop , flopping, dirty plays, i will not be shocked if his career wont last that long
Can you add it on android
Why dont they play thanlosis? I mean they always win double digit leads when he plays 10+ minutes. 🤣🤣🤣
I opened the dictionary and there was a picture of DBook next to the word "bitсh"
Embiidirty
I kno you ain’t from the US but that title is a pause 😂
It's really not.
@@JC-tu6hchaha we all know what he means to say but lowkey kinda gay😂
@@wordtomymuvva5063 Nope. Doesn't even make sense. I think you just think about cock a lot.
@@JC-tu6hcpause is anything with sus words with no context learn how it works
Nah, yall just weirdos , that's a common phrase
Tell me one thing. When did that much contact become basketball? That thumbnail is a foul. How do they not call that now? When basketball was created that was always a foul.
Knicks are the most physical and dirtiest team in the league you can't complain if ur opponent starts playing like that too.
Minnesota is legit, Mavs losing in 6, Knicks might just make the ECF, it’s becoming a legendary playoffs
Clippers can’t win the serie without kawhi luka and kyrie are just monsters
They are up against it but I wouldn’t say can’t. Prolly shouldn’t have brought Kawhi back tho and certainly not for G3
