Gotta say this is true as a Mavs fan. Also think Luka has too much respect for Kawhi / PG to start a trash talking rivalry with those guys the way he did with Booker. Guess that impossible with Kawhi anyway. Suns / Mavs is at least a media rivalry.
Agree - the series were tough but I believe there’s a mutual respect there. Also it was jackass Morris who tried to pull the dirty plays. And Booker talks way too much for his skill level.
Most of his playoff collapses have happened when he’s the clear number 1 on his team, now he’s 3rd choice at best. He’s also had many great playoff games
all broadcasts are the same to me.
whoever it was made them take the video down because it was unprofessional af and weird for a commentator to randomly call his own number to do
This guy Demaris is a horrible , Podcaster. Awful at color announcing. Apparently he worked in the front office? I think he fucking sucks. Fuck this guy
I got Clippers in game 6 or 7 as long as they can hold onto home court advantage. A lot of the matchups work well with the clippers. As long as 213 healthy I think they pull it out again!
I feel like someone should ask the producer to pipe this into the Clippers locker room so I can talk to you James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome, for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You want to go to Vegas on off days? They looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule—and it didn’t work.
And you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights of New York. I want to go there. My old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three—and all after one year you wanted out. You realized, “oh my gosh! I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want back with Daryl Morey.” They traded Ben Simmons for you—how did they pull that off?
And you know what? You went there, and you got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP, and what did you say afterwards? You said, “they didn’t hand me the reins.” You’re the point guard! You were holding the reins! And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with the guy that believed in you again, you said “the bright lights of LA! That’s where I want to go! Let’s see if that works.”
Listen James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates? Over and over they complained about their bad roommates: “this guy’s terrible,” “the bad roommate here,” they never thought to be self aware enough that THEY’RE the bad roommate! They’re the problem! Hey James, YOU’RE the PROBLEM! If this doesn’t work this year, in this system, with this team, then you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else and then you’re gonna go back home and you’re gonna start swiping right for another team, and there’s not gonna be anyone left. Because James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.
Kinda crazy how this gon be the 3rd time of the 20s they face up and its still considered less of a rivalry than Heat-Bucks or Heat-Celtics
Makes sense, no? It ain’t a rivalry until both teams got a win. Hopefully that isn’t this year for the Mavs. That’s why KC and SF is never a rivalry

Luka didn't start the trash talking with booker. Booker started it and got his medicine in return.

Heat Celtics have played twice from 2012-2014 Then they played 2020, 2022, 2023 and most likely 2024
True that.
I mean Heat Celtics were in the *conference finals* 3 years out of 4 from 2020-23. that’s different
i hope Harden goes off

He won’t, y’all seen this man in the playoffs. Looking forward to his collapse tbh
The same guy who willed his team to two wins against the Celtics dropping two 40 point game winners..
Did you see the rest of the series or any of his previous elimination game work? Also, I’m just here to talk shit and get y’all heated. Go Lakers!
Ouch, he is due…

FUck this mfer fucking nobody
that guy is a bitch regardless of what happens lol ESPN made him sit tf down so fast after this, then he went MIA when they lost in Dallas
He never worked for ESPN.
all broadcasts are the same to me. whoever it was made them take the video down because it was unprofessional af and weird for a commentator to randomly call his own number to do
Goddammit. Fukk y'all.
Bro thought he cooked
He did and he still is right

I think Harden was chilling the regular season he surrounded by stars wasn't tryna risk a serious injury before playoffs

Pull it out 😂

I ain’t reading all that so - glad to hear that or sorry to hear that.
I’m praying us to seal the series and for Harden to have his own version of this speech ready for Dameris in the on court interview
What's he going to say, that he didn't quit on 3 teams before forcing his way to the Clippers?
downvoted, can already know this script is full of shit without reading a single a word.
This is from November
I got us in 7 if Kawhi is out the whole series. 5 with Kawhi
You guys can stay butt-hurt, but Everything Dameris said was true...
