Jaylen Brown will be Xmas Day MVP
Tabum will be the 11th man just like he was for Team USA!
lol
LeBron never gets to spend Christmas with his family, lol
Sixers has an easy win on Xmas day LFG 🔥🔥🔥
Some diversity on Christmas Day would be nice every once i a while
I hope Pop lets Wemby cook vs New York
The way they keep talking bout wemby, shows hes the next face of the league.
WARNING ALL, ALERTING ALL >
There will be no more professional sports after the dollar collapses in November 2024.
No thunder on Christmas?
OKC will dominate Christmas Day talk. How can those guys be left off the program?
Wemby is gonna cook the Knicks once again
I've never seen the Knicks play on the road during Christmas day. Not even once
Wemby
Should’ve had SGA
I still remember that Suns Christmas game in 2022, mostly for AG murdering Landry Shamet live on national television.
That 8 o''clock game gonna have major play-in implications.
Perk is right, Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. he is the Face of the League going into next Season💯💯
Doncic was ROBBED OF MVP this season: • 34/9/10 • 1st in points • 2nd in assists • 73 point game (4th highest ever) • First 33/9/9 season in NBA history • Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ • 1st in 25-point games • 1st in 35-point games • 1st in 40-point games • 1st in 45-point games • 2nd in 3’s made • Top 10 in steals • 61.7% TS • Highest scoring season in Mavs history • Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger. • Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever • Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever • Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed • Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams • Mavs 50+ wins • Mavs 1st in clutch win% • 6th best record in entire NBA
If you still believe the BS narrative that Luka has no defense, you’re completely wrong! Luka’s injuries got too much so he had to rely on team defense instead of 1v1 for two reasons: a. to conserve energy for facilitating offense and scoring b. that was their gameplan the whole playoffs is to lure the attacker to the help defender so naturally he’ll let em blowby and switch to the other player. I suggest you watch a yt channel called "Awful Coaching” where he had a couple videos praising and analyzing Lukas defense during the OKC/Clippers series and Mavs strategy into winning games. Luka is actually "GOOD” at defense now this season before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the playoffs, specifically Clippers/OKC series that guys were shooting 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka. He had a great all around defensive year before he got injured right before the playoffs and you can tell it just got too much in the Finals that he had to take painkiller injections before each game. He needed to conserve energy more than ever to make the injury bearable, also to facilitate and score cuz all of a sudden no one can. He had to rely on team defense but Boston was just too good and they lost. If Dallas had faced a team like the 2023 heat and not a superteam they would’ve won! But they lost so the narrative shifted again and just blame it all on Lukas defense cause thats easy right, when his literal teammates couldn’t make shots to save their lives and most of em choked! All I can say to all Ignorants out there is to expect a more focused and determined Healthy Luka at both defense & offense next season💯
Bol bol better than welmby
They left out the Thunder so this is a gimmick anyways
Can’t wait to see Lebron get cooked yet again this season
Kendrick you said a superstar was joining the Lakers this summer…
When I saw Perk I had to move on. Next!
Take the Lakers out, put the Bucks on Christmas day..if the Lakers are 0-20 going into Christmas Day, ESPN would show the Lakers.
Who got kicked out “the bucks” who got put in “the Spurs” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lets go LAKERS 💛💜💛💜
No bucks is wild
Wemby got exposed in the Olympics, go small and high pick and roll and his cooked
They just not trying to give My Thunder no TV time 🙄Haters 🥴
Lebron will be load managing by then, now that he doesn't have Avengers anymore
Nobody cares about the Yucks. Celtics in 5😂
Unfortunately we’re going to be watching football 🤷
Slovenian Santa coming through to give us the best Christmas game like every year
Spurs are dangerous in west too i promise
Also twolves, okc, nuggets still top 3
Embiid spending his Christmas with his daddies in Beantown, I see.
Would have been JA, but the nba hating on JA because of the media
Gonna be steph
Did the producers tell yall to each pick different teams 😂
No Gianni’s on Christmas is criminal
The bay area is corrupt as Marxist hyena Harris is
Poor Giannis Antetokounmpo! He has no Christmas Games.
As a mavs fan, Lakers Warriors Spurs are potential play in tourney matchups. One of them might be In the draft lottery as tough as the west is. OKC should be playing on christmas instead of one of those three.
Malika was all about the Bucks right after their championship. Now, they're the "ones who got left out". Can't believe dumb Perk picked Luka over his boy Ant! 😮
Luka gon Kill, nothing new, but always good to point it out.
Last Christmas
Luka 50/15/15
Joker 40/15/10
Oh Andrea be in the gym. Looking good too!
Lebron about to be the alltime leader is missed shot attempts to go along with his turnovers crown. Should be a fun year.
NBA is boring already with LeBron James on Christmas day
