He then makes an analogy stating that he has a better chance of having pancakes with Beyonce and Oprah Winfrey than the Mavs have of beating Boston in Game 5 on Monday.

  • Perk saying the mavs have zero chance means we’re going back to Dallas for game 6
  • Why does this guy get to speak on the NBA? He wasn’t relevant when he played and isn’t now.

    I can tell Big Perk a Texas boy just how he said “I’ll bring the syrup” 😂💯
  • @king-ofheartz
    If the Mavs keep playing like this., Celtics won't win another game
  • @l.d.t.6327
    Saying the Mavs have no chance winning a game just after smashing it in game 4 is just stupid, from whatever point of view.
  • @fxg1129
    Obviously it’s a must win for the Mavs but it’s funny cause it’s also a must win for the Celtics cause if they lose game 5 Mavs have all the momentum to force a game 7
  • Game has to be played. Every team has a chance to win in a given night. The hobbled Heat and Cavs won in Boston so the Mavs have a shot to win in Boston. I don't think they will. They have a chance. Injuries, bad calls, shots go in and out.

  • @BabylonGateLA
    If the Mavs win game 5, oh ohh, the Celtic are going to crumble in game 6 and 7!

    When this series started, I said the Celtics have the better team but could lose to the Mavs for these reasons. 1. Boston does not score a lot of points so if you can push the tempo, you can win. 2. Boston tandem of Brown and Tatum play more ISO ball or my turn/your turn 3. Boston has problems with teams who have star guards and the Mavs have 2 in Luka and Kyrie. It's the reason they lost to the Warriors the year with Curry putting them to sleep 4. The Celtic guards are good on defense but not offfense Viewing game 3, the Mavs learned something late in that game that carried over to game 4. 1. The Mavs pushed the tempo. Although they did not win game 3, they brought that 20 plus lead down to 3 and we know Luka fouled out. The game could have been a W. Viewing game 4, the Mavs pushed the tempo and took the ball out of Luka's hand when coming up the floor. Luka is slow bringing the ball up which allows the Celtics to setup their defense. In game 4, we saw more Dante Exum who sped the ball up the floor before the Celtics could setup their defense. 2. The Celtics also started the game returning to their old ways of a lot of ISO shots for Tatum. In the games they won, they were passing it to multiple players for the open shot. 3. Luka and Kyrie not only scored but they found their teammates for good open shots by making the right pass. 4. Jrue and Derrick were not scoring and they were not able to keep up defensively due to the Mavs on the move.

    THERE'S NO SECRET TO WINNING "Luka played decent defense" AND THEY WON
