Trying to take a charge, another one of browns key moments cause he knew the situation and baited Luka to get his last foul. And brown was picking up Luka full court at points and by the end of the 3rd quarter he was gassed, literally walking up and down the floor and not touching the ball for multiple possessions.

Everyone came here to kill Luka and doesn’t mention that the rest of the team really didn’t do anything. Luka was the only player that came to play every game. I would love to see a guy like Mikal Bridges or PG added to this mavs roster. DJJ is decent but is really a non factor on offense

When Tatum got to the finals and lost, everyone killed him. Luka does the same thing when he’s older than Tatum was and we say look how awesome it is that he even got that far. Why do we keep making exceptions for Luka and other guys in order to slander Tatum. It’s crazy

Fair criticism, positive in a sense for Luka to think and get better. Thank you for being positive, polite and try to be objective! Just contrary to Perk and SAS and Wind ... haters selling junk and BS. I only dissagree with usage rate being blamed Luka - I think this depends on other players: if they play well and score, Luka gives the ball. So, this is consistent and in agreement with his high usage rate. Against Boston, they were not on the level of Boston defence, thus Luka was doing more on himself. And yes (as someone stated in comments) --> nobody talks about Kyrie! If he would give 30 per game, everything would be different. But now all pretend that it is Luka ALONE who should beat Boston. This part is not fair.

So Luka is supposed to be better than Tatum but isn’t being held to the same standards? Tatum got crucified for losing against golden state and Miami the last 2 years.

In my opinion, Luka just had one poor showing and that was game 3 when he fouls out after he and Kyrie (and co.) came back from 20+ down to within 3 with 6 minutes left in the game. That was the most pivotal game in the series (no team has ever come back down 3-0). If the Mavs win that game, I think Boston still has that "what the hell was that" game in game 4 and the series is tied 2-2 going back to Boston. What happens after that? We'll never know, but I still like Boston in 7. But the series would have been tied 2-2. Bottom line, you can't foul out of game 3 with your team down 2-0. That was the series.

usage rate argument is BS. Jordan usage was 37-38% in 92-93

No. Even if Luka had had monster games throughout the Finals, Boston simply outmatched the Mavs. The Mavs might have won another game or two behind Luka if he had monster games but the rest of the team just wasn't good enough. This has more to do with how formidable the Celtics are as a team than how bad Luka or the Mavs were.

@Max-ys3xg omg how stupid are you TEAM BUILDING KEY WORDS all those teams had 2 star players and a compliment of players around them that made them better and got over the hump Wilt and and West lost multiple times and won when they had Gail goodrich another elite player Lakers had James Worthy as well and KEY role players MJ and Pippen had Harper Kukoc elite role players let alone another hall of fame Dennis Rodman. I can easily keep going do some research 🤡.

@Max-ys3xg KEY WORDS TEAM BUILDING all those teams you mentioned had multiple all stars or elite role players around them that helped them win. Gail Goodrich, James Worthy,Harper, Kucoc, Rodman, Horry, Fox, Fisher, Love etc. Great other players alongside the stars do some research 🤡

Nick should be happy people think he knows something about basketball.. dude can't even dribble and people take him seriously

True, I mean the Celtics lost against Golden State that one time. As well as the ECF finals.

Luka led the playoffs in all stats. Please tell me how he failed?

One thing no one on any channel is mentioned is that this could be Lukas peak he’s been a pro since 15 his game hasn’t changed and might not and he had a great year so who’s to say this isnt his highest level to reach ppl acting like his gon get in the lab really? Y he never did before and made it here I just think we need to use common sense he’s a great player but this might be it as far as how good he gets

I had boston in 6 whoever picked dallas was severly overrating the mavs for beating the wolves and severly underrating the celtics. They are surprised at the outcome not actual fans of ball that knew boston was a freight train all year to everybody except denver.

Has a bad knee and he’s guarding Tatum

These commentators say the stupidest things. How did Luka fail? The man made to the finals and avg 29ppg, 5.6 ast, & 8.9rebs and the title of this video is Luka fail. Had this been Lebron, they would of talked about him not having no help. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Boston was just the better all around TEAM! Outside of Luka & Kyrie, who can score on Dallas? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Jaylen Brown locked Luka up

Nick can say whatever he likes but we all know that any team that wasnt the Mavs or the Lakers loses this finals, he would have absolutely crucified that team and whoever was the best player on said team

Nick strawman all of his favorites....hes a bum

Pot/Kettle! Nick picking Mavs in 5 is failing at the highest level.

do they realize the better the other team is the worse youll do?

This why that whole luka better then lebron at this age is hilarious lebron would’ve done the Celtics so bad if he had been this age against this same team just put 25 lebron on the Mavs n take away Luka n honestly tell me they losing 😂😂😂😂😂

LeBron is 4 - 6 in the finals playing that style of basketball stop the cap Luka need to play within the offense and not be the offense all the time

Luka does too much. Game 4 Luka was still playing up 40 points. Nobody on his team can get going or find rhythm when he’s taking 30 shots a game.

Beat the Loaded clippers, the number one seed, and the team that beat the champs, they are fine. Jrue holiday was just a monster.

Name one person who can create their own shot and “get going” without Luka besides Kyrie. I can tell you clowns never played no damn ball thinking Derrick Jones Jr is being stifled from his full potential 😂

I dont think this was hero ball to be honest. I said at the beginning of the year in a comment, hero ball cant win chips. Luka is just that guy when everyone else is struggling, he tries even harder to carry. It didnt work for multiple reasons, but hell learn. Hes a Killer.

He attempted 23 shots per game in the playoffs, halfwit. And he came out of the game FIRST when Boston surrendered.

@@Kaiza5150how can his team get going if he is taking 10 shots in the first quarter. He doesn’t get his team going, he holds the ball too long and basically only passes for assists. It’s never enough time on the clock for a third pass.

Nick literally gas lighting people on there oppinion. Luka “ Legend” lost in 5 to a team he compares to the 05 pistons. But also says he could of been great and it wouldnt of been enough.

You mean 04 Pistons. But these Celtics are way more talented than than those Pistons.

Nick brought up 16’ Bron also played defense like a mf, blocking shots and literally overwhelming GS with highlight after highlight

He had like 3 iconic blocks on Steph in 2 games

You can say what you want about luka Credits to celtics this been brewing for a minute but lukas team has been together since march the only move that i can see helping mavs is a pick and roll threat that can play back to basket Lively is a good kid to hold onto but gafford powell kleber all need to be sent out for a better piece and not just sitting on the bench celtics got thier money on the floor in 3nD 36%+ 3pt shooters just needs better spacing then you bring in the defense when you can

LeBron knew he had to get others involved other players first and got criticism for that when he knew they needed do it. Luka needed to do the same thing by just passing it around let others just feel like they are part of the game other than defense, that is the main reason I think they lost he held the ball to long and just passed it when he has nothing else hoping they will just knock it down when they haven't been apart of the games offense

“Lebron deciple” cursed with losing finals record . nasty work

Luka was not good at all, he had 9 points at the half and 3 missed free throws leading to a basically game ending half court buzzer beater to end the half. He had a D+ game.

Nick is a Celtics hater

Luka's numbers was great.. eye test, he wasn't good.. bad defense and bad shot selection.. plus the free throws..
