This dude has been playing against grown men since he was a kid. There's no defense in this league that's capable of stopping him 💪
That's what most Americans keep forgetting lol, he was 2x MVP in EU by the age of 16, has been playing against older, bigger, stronger players his whole life, little Ant can't do shit, Luka is bigger, stronger with much more skill and waaay bigger IQ.
@@nenadpopov3601I like Luka but he wasn’t 2x MVP by the age of 16. he won the euroleague and the mvp by the age of 18/19. He also won the eurobasket at the age of 17.
@@aewisjericho8848 He won 1 under 16 mvp and one when he was 18, still amazing since nobody else did it
Luka proved tonight why he should be the MVP
They said the same thing about Jokic after a win
@@XWDanieljokic played his game out. His team didn’t
Luka still playin tho... @XWDaniel
Championship would make a nice consolation prize
Luka is better than Jokic.
It helps that Jaden McDaniels is officiated like a basketball player. Lu Dort was allowed to assault Luka for six straight games.
Even if not... McDaniels cant compete with Luka physically in the first place. Dort can. This matchup is way better for Luka, cause he can push McDaniels wherever he wants to without needing 100% strenth.
I'm Mavs fan but I do respect Jaden for not playing dirty
@@kokibalboa9527me too. He's playing great defense. Ppl forget he guards one of the best scorers in NBA history, if not the best scorer. He used his length a lot, but people forget too that Luka can post up centers
@@prestoCreamsyeah i remmember he post up all his 5 sons before, paul (favorite son)booker cam johnson bridges ayton 😂
@@clarissacaptures quality time between father and sons☠
It wasn’t just Dort being a big guy, it was also that he was hacking, tripping and kicking Luka…and don’t get me started on the shameless flopping
10000000%%%%%% FACTUAL
Yep. Dort playing dirty and think that it would stop Luka. Not really. He was hurt but not broken mentally. That's not enough
Dort played dirty and tried to injure Luca
One thing we saw all night is how a playmaking genius like Luka defuses double-teams vs. a less gifted passer like Edwards. Edwards looked for obvious escape valves and could sometimes hit the open-three one pass away. Luka just calmly carved the defense up without issue.
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people about Ant. His passing skills are not close to Luka’s level at all
@@dpend he doesn't have any passing skills . ppl nowadays think who can jump highest must be the best player . Passes that Luka does not even Jordan or Kobe could think off , Ant is way out of their league
U mean the new face of the league ain't got no highlight passes?
Well it'll be difficult fo the twolves this round. If they lose thats okay I just think that the future looks very bright for them.
@@aceloco817in a just world, Luka is ALREADY the face of the league. He will win at least 3 championships.
D Lively basketball IQ is lebron dream to have for his own team
Too bad LeBron is so far up his own ass that the moment his team would draft Lively, LeBron would trade him for some "name" like Dressbrick or some other "star" only to make them sacrifice for LeBron's stats.
@@VVVY777 lol lol lol lol no he wouldn't y'all need to give bro his props man the only player picking Hebron brain in the nba is LUKA him self. Kyrie studied all he needed from him in Cavs.
@@VVVY777what the fuck😂😂 this shit so funny
Dallas has been the best defense for months now and no one seems to notice. Combine elite defense with two smart, experienced closers who don’t rely on shooting a high percentage from deep in order to be effective, and you’ve got all the pieces in place to win a ring. I mean, what is Dallas’s weakness? The only thing that’s held them back is injuries so far.
LuKy may not "rely" on shooting a high % from deep, but they do. Especially Ky who is both one of the greatest and most underrated shooters of all time.
Thank you. Everyone talks about Mavs offense, but their defense have been winning many games aswell.
@@MistaWordz This game is proof that the Mavs don’t rise and fall based on threes. Mavs shot 25% from three with only 6 makes and still won the game. Why? Because of the reasons stated. They played elite defense and Luka systematically walked them down in the fourth with lobs and midrange jumpers. If the team relied on threes then this game would’ve been a blowout.
The scariest part is that their elite defense and Luka’s ability to get good looks every possession down the stretch are all repeatable over the course of the playoffs. There’s no gimmick to their success.
@@frederickfairlieesq5316 I don't disagree with that, but it still doesn't change the fact that Luka shot the second most 3s in the league on a good % and Kyrie averaged damn near a 50-40-90 during the season.
Lively plays like a seasoned pro. Dallas really lucked out on him
Lively sooo impressive, he plays beyond his years in my opinion. Injecting the enthusiasm of youth as well.. Mavs are riding an awesome wave these playoffs
people not aware that luka is a fast movIng jokic. more skills than jokic., can dribble, crossover, step back, drive.. mavs in 6
MAVS IN 4 BE RESPECTFUL OF YOUR TEAM
If we take the next game from the wolfs then I promise Kyrie and Luka will do what it takes to not go back to Minnesota. If they could do that and the Boston series goes to 7 games then that will give the Mavs a few more days of rest while they wait for their opponent.
@@andrebuckley9382 i take that
@@leonash6883 sounds good to me! lets effin go!!!
He's smaller and actually runs less than Jokic. He dunks less too. Jokic has really improved his fitness. Luka is still kinda chubby.
im just hoping Mavs Shooter will hit their 3's after this game.
They've had 2 good shooting nights in each of their past 2 series and they always win those. Then they get 2 grind it out rock fight wins. They can win with any style of play. Its wild!
Ah Mr. Douglas, when the Mavs have a bad shooting game, it sucks..
But it's sexy
They won't keep shooting that bad
Absorbing contact- no
Refs actually calling fouls ✅
Luka is a superstar same with Kyrie❤❤❤❤ both can score and passed to the open team mates
MVP !!!! Man got robbed, those 3 shots in a row to take the lead, cold blooded. Luka is him.
Lead the NBA in Offensive Performance… improved his overall defense… makes everyone around him better… takes his team to the conference finals… and third… THIRD! in MVP voting. What the hell am I missing?!
Luka out there playing 4D Chess :D
Horses stomp Kat's and Ant's!
Dallas can play as physical as Minnesota, but is also more mobile and athletic.
This will be a completely different series for the Wolves. Ant might be able to defend Murray on one leg, but a healthy Kyrie is a completely different animal. Not to mention that McDaniels is just not able to bang with Luka. This matchup is way better for Luka then Dort, who is build like a Linebacker, not like a marathon runner.
Or Luka just made some shots that he prob would miss next game
@@edgardoMurniaYpu dont watch much.... A healthy Luka at 22 demolished a prime Kawhi and PG13, he average 32 points in 2022 playoff series, Ant is lucky, he has better teammates.
Gobert gonna have flashbacks from 2022 series
Luka is lightyears better than any player on Minnesota-or any remaining team-and so is Kyrie for that matter. LuKai are the 2 best players left in the playoffs and they're on the same team. Go Mavs!
Luka for sure but not Kyrie
@@HSTLMLWLagree with you Kyrie isn’t necessarily better or worse than tatum just different. Kyrie for sure better than ant tho.
@@aewisjericho8848 Tatum is better than Luka🤣😂
Luka is like "single coverage against me? Who do you think I am, Kevin Durant?"
Jaden & AnT cant cover Doncic,hell nobody can cover him,he is just a cold blooded killa
That's what I always say. Luke is THE Killa in the NBA. He will dominate for the next ten years.
@@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289 I agree 100% .I'm an old dude and watched a lot of Basketball from the 80's,and Luka reminds me of a combination of Magic & Bird,he is a unique player,he will learn to keep his emotions in check and lay off the officials, but he's not the only one that complains to refs, LeBron is the worst
I know people WANT to believe in ant. He's got heart, some skill, and his body is playoff ready. But luka and kyrie got something he does NOT or at least not to the same degree. They both have an incredibly high basketball IQ. Luka honing his since he was 14. Kyrie studying the game and working with kobe, developed his in the league so he doesn't rely entirely on instinct and creativity. This is the biggest reason I like the mavs in this series. Who knows who actually wins, but that's my unbiased take.
And another thing... ky and luka are proven closers at this point. Most media heads said "its gonna be close but i got wolves in 6 or 7". If people think the series is "going to be close" then the one with the better closers should win correct? That's what I was thinking anyway. So which team scares you more in close game situations? Cause that might be who you should be picking in this series if your not picking with your heart. And if you think its the T wolves cool.
Kyrie's ability to beat Minnesota's pressure was also really important. He had 11 points in transition in the 1st half. That backcourt pressure has been a strength of Minnesota's, but Kyrie made it into a weakness.
Exactly, that full court press won’t work and will be disadvantageous to the Wolves due to Kyrie. Best option for them is to just slow the game down, but then again, this is where Luka thrives.
@@maco5152this is why it’s a bad matchup for the T-Wolves
Kyrie reminds me of why guys would never full court press Drose .. not only because he was lightning quick
But also because he had great handles
Same w/ Kyrie
You just can’t full court press those guys otherwise they’ll kill you
Wolves No. 1 Defense?
Mavs are No. 1 in defense
that Luka Lively machine is deadly!
That Luka D play was nuclear offense
finnaly somebody that understands basketball , good job Romp
He understands giving all the credit to one man for winning as if Kyrie doesn’t exist.
i love this mavs team man, i really hope they win it all this year.
Having the 2 best passing guards in the league under Kidd,.. some beautiful ball.
MVP! His rivals have fallen by the wayside.
Luka IQ is off the NBA charts
Edwards was scared to guard Luka. The time he did he Luka got an and 1. Crazy
And after that directly in the next possession he wanted to hit a contested 3 in lukas face. That’s the difference ant is playing so that people can say oh Luka I am better than Luka, Luka doesn’t need that as everyone knows he is a few levels above him.
Austin Rivers -“Jaden McDaniels the best Luka defender in the league” okay bro 😂😂
Lukai duo already one of the best now they are getting unstoppable. Folks, the Mavs might get a ring this year
Also that drop coverage of the wolves got picked apart. They're lucky P.J wasn't shooting great that game
Mavs have the number one defense the last 30 games of the season and so far in the playoffs looks basically the same.
Length doesn’t bother Luka. He knows how to play through length. But if you put a bull like Dort on Luka, the physicality makes Luka value getting fouled over hitting shots. And if the refs don’t call fouls, Luka gets distracted and ends up playing against the refs rather than his actual opponent. In my opinion, this is why Luka didn’t play like Luka in the okc series. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Naz Reid used as Luka’s primary defender moving forward.
Wrong. Luka was worst in the Clippers series with 40%FG and 22% 3PT. He was injured and getting better in his last 3 games. You can tell last few games of the regular season that he wasn't himself with those bleeding knees.
@@vn_loc7316 I don’t understand how you could watch the OkC series and not notice how distracted Luka was by constantly chasing fouls and not getting calls.
Luka even admitted after the game 5 win that he realized his foul chasing and complaining was hurting the team. Game 5 was his best game in the series precisely because he focused on playing the Thunder rather than the refs. So if you say I’m wrong, you’re saying Luka was wrong.
You also have no evidence to support your assertion that it was the injuries that caused his bad play. You’re saying that he was hurting in the beginning of the series but is now no longer in pain. My critique is based on empirical facts and yours is based on speculation.
You might be right. I’m not saying you’re definitely wrong because I cannot justify that assertion despite the strength of my argument. Your assertion is based on pure speculation, so I don’t know why anyone would feel obligated to argue against you.
Would you like to explain the blood on his knees that keeps popping up? If you’re basing your assertion on the blood being indicative of pain, then you have to explain why the blood indicates pain in the beginning of the playoffs yet wasn’t indicative of pain in games five and six and last night.
@@frederickfairlieesq5316 You telling me Mann from Clippers shut down Luka too? Terrance Mann 6'5 and 215 lbs. Luka 6'7 230lbs. Mann has no strength. Only reason he was bad vs Mann because he was hurt. Go look at Luka stats vs Clippers in previous playoffs, he was killing them. Luka was playing bad last few games of regular season. He was not playing like his normal self after getting hurt.
Luka is the real MVP
Ant must be eating his words for breakfast this morning.
Kyrie gave humbled pie to Edwards.
Edwards needed a breather afterwards 😂
Mavs have the best defense in the NBA if you’ve been paying attention and watching games, you would know this. It’s been that way for a while now.
I wonder if they will put Naz on Luka this next game..... If Jokic was more vocal and had his teammates stepped up we would have been seeing one of the greatest series ever since MJ. This is still an amazing game as the Wolves could have won as well. Let's go Mavs!
they will
Mc Daniel’s on a blender today 😂
Luka ONLY had “subpar” games 1 THIS SEASON because he can barely run, don’t get it twisted
Luka is a beast, you can't contain a beast. Even of you try, it will come back to haunt you
The solution to beat the nuggets was let Jokic score as much as he wanted to and focus on the rest of the team. That same plan doesn’t work when Kyrie and Luka can score at will, and Luka can play make at an all time level. I’m not saying the wolves can’t win or anything, but this team is a much worse matchup for them than Denver was
In LUKA we Believe
beautiful analysis, beautiful easy voice:)
IQ Basketball skills = Luka Doncic
Dont be shocked this team is special
Why does it feel like Dallas had more difficulty vs okc's defense? Minnesota looked really slow today. Did phoenix and denver's slow play style make the wolves defense look much better than it is?
lu dort...... they can shoot in the rainbow line.... sga is so consistent
Cause thunder is hacking them, while Minnesota playing clean defense
People seem to forget that Luka was giving PRIME Kawhi and PRIME PG the business. This Timberwolves defense isn’t as athletic or versatile as that clippers team with Morris, PG, Pat Bev, Jackson and Kawhi.
Luka is a master playmaker. He deserves the mvp.
Luka never cares about defensive ratings. He just shows up and be luka
Dallas was +3500 a few months ago and I wanted to bet then but I chickened out
Another banger
yeaahh!! that's my favorite player right there 😁😁
I saw this type of dribble drive / play from Jeremy Lin.
it looked that dort’s defense is more physical and effective against luka, he make the best defensive team looked amateur
Luka is that guy
Wouldn’t say he made them look foolish that’s an overstatement
No one is going to bother him after Lu Dort Lol
Not to mention Kyrie's brilliant first half. Love it!
lively is so good
People forgets a healthy luka usually POST UP CENTERS. If this luka os healthy and 100% qe can see him post up Kat and Rudy for 40 mins like it's nothing
Wolves should probably put KAT or Naz Reid on Luka just for that size advantage. I think they have the footwork to keep up with him. Then pray that Luka doesn't cook them with step-back 3's all game.
Luka will outrun KAT, but Naz Reid is a good possible matchup
Lively is the x-factor
T wolves defense is inconsistent they was playing like they were in north KOREA
But game 2 they might play better defense just depends
Look, I'm going to pump the brakes a bit on the title coronation just yet. But NGL, i kind of want this really bad, for both Luka AND Kyrie. They both get shat upon by the basketball press, for different reasons: Kyrie bc he thinks for himself & wont be guilted into doing something he strongly believes against (you know what imtalking abt,); Luka gets it bc he's Euro, white, & relatively unathletic.
I think they have this shared chip on their shoulders, & they appear to have finally really clicked with one another this yr. I think in part bc Kyrie knows that Luke REALLY wants the MOST success for Kyrie, even if it means Luka steps back. In return, Kyrie, feeling the unconditional love & good vibes he never fully got anywhere else, he is able to relax & let the game come to whichever one if them has an advantage or whichever of them is hot. The 3peat Lakers and Shaq & Kobe had that formula for the first 2 of those, & it made them nearly impossible to deal with. Kobe did his best work vs. Western Conference teams, who were better equipped to at least throw a speed bump in front of Shaq, then Shaq just destroyed the weak Eastern Conf. centers in the Finals.
I feel like LD & KI are even less predictable about who will go off in a given game, or quarter. Luka was off all game, Kyrie kept them in it, then Luka destroyed the 4th Q, 5-7 FGs, 3-4 FTs, i think 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 2 steals, plus that deflection on the late lob to Gobert... and Kyrie did his job first 3 Qs, scoring 28 & wearing down Ant.
But Minn will make adjustments, so we'll see how Dallas handles it. Luke & Jokic are probably, along with LBJ, the best in the game at majing adjustments on the fly, so...
Real Mvp others Cancun
He was -9 ... Mavericks offense is stagnant wen he is on the court and the defense suffers. If wolves shot just a tad bit better from the field and they win by 5+ points. Kyrie is the reason this game was even in reach. In comes luka to shoot every ball in the 4th.
Soon as the wolves play lock down defense then everybody gone come with another narrative
That's not gonna happen. Who is locking up luka and kyrie? Be honest with yourself.
the problem pj and djj can attack the basket... if they double luka and kai....
Honestly the Mavs would have lost this game 1 but wolves keep barking as if they already win and calling out Kyrie before the game series start so they had to send a message
Another refusal give Kyrie Irving credit as. Y’all love to hate Kyrie man.
This will not be a popular opinion but putting Kyle Anderson will disrupt Luka's rhythm
kyle anderson would be the perfect defender for Luka
Luka doesnt play good defense(minus like 5 plays) but Kyrie is playing insane defense, Ky's defense is whats moving the needle in the playoffs for them
Luka play good defense but it's just not at outstanding level like Kyrie did.
actually i think lively and pj play the best defense, but in this game atleast to me was clear that doncic and kyrie switched loads, kyrie carried first half and doncic carried 2nd
I hope kyrie always plays his 2 qtrs in the first half so luka can kik ass and close. Luka was on a mission and couldn't be stopped
No. they didn't. They DID win the first game, though.
These Minnesota bandwagon fanboys real quiet 🤫
This is the Trash Taste Podcast bg music 🤣
Edwards most overrated player ever
First
Thank you 🙏🏼
Luka really the puppetmaster controlling his own team and the opposition. Still twolves in 6 luka and kyrie played their best game these playoffs and it was still a close win
Yeah...let`s ignore the fact that the Mavs made only 6 3`s being 24% 3p. How often do you think that will happen?
Best part of the game is watching luka control clueless defenses.
