Matured Kyrie is a menace!
Brotha Irving!
A leader Kyrie
uncle drew
get him vaccinated
After everything people say to Kyrie and now they on his side is kinda wild
Well he’s not acting like a lunatic and has been dependable. It was never about his basketball abilities.
@@RandomCitizen014 what's your definition of acting like a lunatic ? Just because a black man is not acting how u want them to act does not mean they are acting like a lunatic.
@@terrence8483Perfectly said once a black man has his own views and opinions and goes against these racist, slave master people they try to bring him down, but has Kyrie said he knows who he is and he's nobody puppet on a string. PERIOD !!!!!!
@@RandomCitizen014 blud yall injected poison in ur blood LMAO!! ur the ones who are acting lunatic for taking the jab voluntarily
Say it again for the people in the bac@@terrence8483...I wonder what race ole dude is...😭😭😭 because all i hear is 🦗s
Luka is showing the league that he’s the real MVP!!! The Mavs are beating OKC in 6 games. I know Kyrie scored 9 points in game 2 but he’s been playing out of his mind
Five games
@@southernflavamaker give OKC 2 wins in the series
And Kyrie has been the best player in the playoffs for the Mavs there’s that also
No lies detected
Kai was the mvp of round 1 he won that first series he clippers with his playing both sides of the ball .. he was locking up especially game 5 and 6 .. then his second half clutch scoring explosions
Lets talk about how OKC players are intentionally further injuring Luka and how they're getting away with it. First Dort tripping Luka 4 times already in these 2 games while going at his knee then that role player in forth quarter literally nowhere near ball diving on Luka's knee and literally injuring him because after that Luka was limping for like 5 straight minutes. If you cant beat him further injure him?
Luka is a warrior
@@randypage26 true that b with 22 jersey tried to take him out someone should say hey review this, dirty play flagrant get him out of here...
Luka is a clumpsy whiney complaining to ref player plain and simple
@@thunderkat035 you smoke that nasty stuff don’t you? Watch the games (if you can afford them) or ask your momma to pay for it. You don’t watch live games, your comment shows that. OKC is trying to take out Luka. Plain and simple
Is that you Russ?
Kyrie got the best character development since Vegeta
Seems legit.
I appreciate this comment 😂😂
Lmaooo facts
I think he more like Sasuke😂
People said Kyrie couldn't play winning team basketball, now that he is they're ALL quiet. Thankfully big Perk isn't afraid of fall back on old narratives and spoke up on how you can impact a game more than just scoring
Only haters .. Kai won that first round for them with his play on both sides and his 4th Q explosions scoring in the clutch .. .. his defense been crazy all playoffs especially game 5 and 6 bs clippers and game 2 vs thunder as well .. he’s been the best defender at guard in these playoffs..
@@xxsskyyxxAs long as Kyrie isn’t injured there’s a good chance the Mavs can make it to the WCF a healthy Kyrie is a scary Kyrie he finally gets to show people that after so many injured playoffs.
😂😂😂”No it’s not the sound you think”
😂😂😂😂
anybody know whats going on there ? was it a prank or what?
😂😂
"it's just like me on a piece of chicken" 😂
😂😂😂
Good thing he didn't say fried chicken. That'd be racist
😂😂😂
Kyrie impacting every game
They try and beat Luka down but that just makes him angrier. You won’t like him when he’s angry
"u gon stand on business or u gon fold like clean sheets?" 😂
Kyrie one of the GOAT's
And he’s a champion
FINALLY KY'S DEFENSE GETTING SOME RECOGNITION! HE BEEN BODYING EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE
Spot on! No more all capital letters though LOL.. carry on
People saying this isn’t sustainable… but it is. The Thunder pack the paint and force role players to take threes. They have to put so much pressure on Luka and Kai that the shots for the role players on the Mavs are literally wide open.
Nd Kyrie bout due for a good game
You act like adjustments don’t happen
@@jae3348 never said they can’t adjust, but they literally have played this exact defense all year.
@@sketchison4005 fax. Thunder got a bad matchup fr. They’ll be lucky to win this series
People don’t see it but I called it a while ago. It’s not guaranteed but the Mavs winning the chip. Like you could comparably compare Luka to LbJ on the championship Cavs team and then Kyrie isn’t a declining player at all…
Hopefully Luka is a little healthier
This year? NO way. They are not going to win against the Timberwolves with their current personnel and form.
@@tamratthegthe series is not over yet 😂 let’s see how hungry Denver is tonight for a W. I agree Wolves have looked like the better team.
@@tamrattheg I think there’s a slim chance fr but I wouldn’t be shocked. Minnesota is the favorite at the moment but that could change in like 4 days or so lol depending how Denver comes out looking. I think Denver’s cooked though
@@tamrattheg timberwolves ain't going to the finals either so stop it 😆
@@ybskdot23twolves did get cooked tonight
People act like luka is a ball hog and all scoring, but ignore that hes one of the best passers in the league and playing incredible defense this year
And the people are right his main thing is his scoring basketball is more than. Just being a great scorer cuz every time they show highlights of Luka it's always on the offensive end you never see him make any defensive plays and highlights can you blame them I feel like his offense is his defense does Definitely going to come back to hurt him in the end look at James harden prime example Luka not balanced
@@xdscgiefkeef8208 your analysis is as trash as your grammar
Luka led the league in blow bys in regular season and after round 1 he was leading the playoffs in blow bys too! Horrible on Defense
@@lovemycity420 spoken like someone who just read a number and made an assumption instead of watching him play. Luka has been great on defense in these playoffs
At this point we all might as well just call him Captain Kyrie. He is the embodiment of a leadership in this Mavs team.
And looking back in reflection, before Kyrie’s arrival, Luka has been carrying, and expected to carry, the team since 2019 when he was only 20 years old, and people had the audacity to criticize Luka as selfish, ball hogger, stat padder? Now we all can see when he got someone he really can trust and look up to, he’s more than willing to share the role
Kai been balling on d all playoffs ..He really won the first round for them with his play on both sides..
Not Kyrie becoming a lockdown defender
SO proud of big perk! 🤜🏿
Yeah Kyrie Irving's been playing excellent defense right now with 11 dimes let's Go Mavs 🙌
Perk is a playoff riser for game analysis
im glad perk recognized that, okc fans chirping he only got 9 pts but his defense was a game changer
They can chirp all the way to the land of the big L on home court
I love Kyrie and he had one of the more amazing 9 point games you’ll ever see but it’s disrespectful to Luka or even Shai to say he was the best player on the court last night. Not to mention 29 points from PJ
Yeah that’s a little bit much 😂 Kyrie has crazy impact with his low scoring games but that comment was unnecessary
perk mean in defense. cus he is. he disrupted OKC's offense. and OKC will adjust next game cus of kyrie.. he also played decoy to perfection.. OKC was trapping him all game and kyrie keeps making them pay by making the right play and swiningin it to an open teamate
Ain't NOTHING LIKE MATURE KAI ...He's murdering everybody.
Ksi defense now should be talked about .. he wants to win he’s more mature and instead of trying to get all the individual praises and attention with his skills and scoring abilities , he lets Luka be Luka and he does what he needs to win and compete
Crazy how Kyrie game growth over the years he can impact the game in multiple ways not only scoring
LUKA MAGIC UNSTOPPABLE in OFFENSE 🔥🔥🔥
Kyrie needs to tap into that inner Rondo and run the point of they are gonna beat OKC
Luka vs Jokic WCF
Yup i agree
Keep sleeping on the mavs they will continue to prove you wrong
Defence win games it is not just offense but how to stop the other team
Pj has been getting better and berger every game. I think he'll be a mav for a long time
The way these refs are missing the foul calls for Mavs are crazy.
Kyrie and Jokic are the only all stars left in the playoffs that already have a ring
Kyrie had 11 assists, but when you watch the game, it feels like he had 20 assists. He was involving everyone in the game, totally unselfish. He knows he can take over the game whenever he wants, but in order to win, he knows he needs his teammates to play their best, and that´s what he did, he made everyone around him better.
All the homies hate Malika Andrews
Kyrie is remarkable, but they only call him the best on the floor ao they don't have to give props to Luka who has problematic skin colour.
What is problematic is Luka ball hogging from start to finish every game. He's lucky Kyrie is is on this team because no other superstar would ever put up with that kind of selfishness. Kyrie was easily the best player on the court with his overall play (if you know anything about winning playoff basketball) in terms of his exceptional defense and putting the role players in a position to to score and be successful, instead of jacking up every shot and dominating the ball like Luka! You don't understand what is winning basketball in the playoffs. Luka has been horrible in these playoffs both offensively and defensively because all he does is hunt stats so he can get all the credit...even if he's bricking every shot! That's losing basketball - James Harden 2.0. Shoots a million shots inefficiently and selfishly hunt stats all game. If it weren't for Kyrie, Luka would be bounced from the playoffs by the Clippers AGAIN in the first round!!
@@briannoble1022😂
@@briannoble1022🤡
They are absolute clowns. When Luka has 19 points he has horrible game, when Kyrie has 9 points (and Luka has 29, plus 10 rebounds, plus 7 assist, plus blocks, steals, etc) Kyrie is the best player.
Actually Kyrie is a really great player. But Luka is by far the best player in the world who is not only carrying the Mavs season after season, but is playing injured in the playoffs and sacrificing his health for the team success making all of his teammates- including Kyrie - better.
And of course they brazenly stole the MVP award from Luka as they did it last year with Jokic.
Mavs are playing excellent defense as a team, role players are doing their thing scoring wise. Just wait until Kyrie & Luka score 30 a piece combined with what the role players are doing
Mavs needs to defend the ball handler in transition. OKC was going to coast to coast, and none of the Mavs players stepped up to stop the ball. On one play, 3/4 Mavs players got back on defense too late, and the 5th player never got past half court. Needless to say, OKC scored and was back on defense before the MAVS could bring the ball up the court. Did anyone else notice this? 💭🤔
rare perkin W takes
You know tnt is mad about the Mavs win, shaq such a hater a white european player cooking the "brothers"
That's CAP bro. I don't know what Shaq is on now, but before the season started he picked the Mavs to win the championship.
He's also bought a mansion in Dallas where Luka has visited. He and Luka actually kick it a lot. Onstage at night clubs and all.
Just Google Shaq and Luka. Luka set "Mr. Shaqovich" up with a mansion rental and a blue hookah. 😌
Sane mental state kyrie is a certified problem
When do you think Kyrie did not have sane mental ? Was it last year when he was an allstar starter and averaging 27 points a game ?
@@terrence8483 why you trying so hard to pick a fight 😭 go get some help who hurt you
@@thanos8914why you ain’t answer the mans question ? 😂😂
@@9chalantmusic227 cause dude named Terrence
@@thanos8914 keep deflecting gump.
Good to see Kyrie getting his credit...he has been working. Funny thing seeing Kyrie affect a game without scoring
Hes right about Kyrie doing what needs to be done... Kyrie is smart and a real good teammate...
How bout them Mavs is right!
Mavs will reach the Finals.
Laughing when showing luka falls hard in the floor, really espn cant hide the hate on luka anymore
Kyrie was the best player on the court? Come one Perk, stop with the cap
Mavs in 6 ✅✅✅
Lol these ppl are a joke, they change with the wind.
Kyrie last year was this cancer that was terrible for the Mavs if you listened to ESPN.
Kyrie is one of the better leaders in the game, he leads by example on the court
Mavs in five
Kyrie the best player on the Floor?? What is he smoking
Kyrie is the only one who already has a ring. Start with that fact...
@garyspence2128 well calm down. Bron has more rings than AD. Buy AD was arguably better than bron on that nuggets series. You cant be better than someone because he has a ring? Stop it
@@jjcometa9333He got a flawed logic but his point isn't wrong. Kyrie was better than Luka these playoffs so far. A fact that even Luka admitted himself, when he said he's letting Kyrie down at one point
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh😂
This Might Be A Random Question But Uh Is Devin Booker Better Than Dwyane Wade?
Maybe
@@basheerumar9615 Yes I Agree Devin Booker Is Better Than Dwyane Wade My Brother Period Bro
HELL NO!
Devin booker is not even better than Tim hardway jr 😂😂😂
No. That 03-11 Wade was real unlike DBook who always fold especially on *_eliminations_* games. Wade also played 2 sides of the court on a high level.
Before fans hit me with Book's great playoff average, kindly observe i emphasized (elimination) games which Book is currently 0-4 with 19pts, 11pts, 12pts, and 49pts respectively. And i bet most of his fans watched those games. We could see from their body language on how rattled he and the Suns were. On how they moved on offense, on how they got their TOs, and on how they took their shots.
OKC in 5
PERKINS be like...
Kyrie: 9 pts 11 asts 2 stl 2 blk - WOW AWESOME DEFENSE! LET'S PRAISE HIM!
Tatum: 18 pts 11 rebs 7 assists 3 blocks - Tatum is not a leader! Boston is in trouble! (After winning by 25+ pts)
Geez, the media love for other teams and players + the hate for Tatum and Boston is so funny
The standard is different cuz Tatum is talked about as a potential top 5 player but his offensive output is not matching his status. And it literally cost them the game against the cavs. He shot really bad in the first half and once the game was out of reach scored points
OMG don't whine about the media... As long as Tatum puts in the work and FINALLY gets it done who cares?
Boston versus everybody
Stats are for those who couldn’t watch the game.
@@jonnstewart2023 now that Tatum dellivered a 30+ double-double, you will not hear anything from the media but still hate
I don't know why perk be mentioning Kyrie as a championship player he would have never won that championship without LeBron will never even got there he will not win another championship without LeBron.
Why didn’t Bron win in 2015?
Dang! Your hate is deep. That's not a pleasant existence I wouldn't think. Spread love
LeBron has won a championship since separated from Irving let's just go back to 2020 Lakers yeah so LeBron don't need Kyrie if he would have stayed with Cleveland he could have two to three rings he's the one that chose to leave.
@@corymoon1445lol he hit the most iconic shot in finals history!!!
and CLEARLY they're still good with each other but friends should not always be teammates I guess? That doesn't sound like a far fetched phenomenon in some instances with alpha males in pro sports
it was rumors that he wanted him in Los Angeles but us fans don't know the inside REAL deal. Maybe it was determined that wasn't a good idea so he ended up in Dallas. I love him like a first cousin, but I don't feel sorry for him for not getting another ring YET!!
And not sure why the topic of King James was brought up in the first place in response to Perkins analysis. We can celebrate our favorite players and teams without belittling others legacy....Bron mt Rushmore KAI seems happy so im happy for them BOTH
I agree Irving helped but how come Irving never made it to the finals without LeBron before he got there if LeBron never went to the cavaliers that shot doesn't exist.
