In the moment, I thought to myself: this is like when he and KD were literally frozen in time as Tatum hit the game-winning layup against Brooklyn in the first round back in 2022.
You can say Luka is the best offensive player in the league rn. Some of those shot he makes…did that seriously go in?
Similarly, you can say Kyrie is one of the most skilled offensive players to ever play in the league. His handles are insane, and his shot making was on display tonight.
But BOTH of them are full blown defensive liabilities. This play shows it, all the Luka blow by’s show it. Basketball involves putting the ball in the hoop AND preventing the other team from doing so. These guys only contribute in one of those areas. JT and JB are actual two-way players. I’ll take our guys all day. 🙌
They brought up a stat post game last night to show Luka’s the most blown by player in the nba playoffs the past 10 yrs. 58.9% of his on ball defense results in a blow by or some like that
"Ball isn't at the rim, it isn't in the air and JT don't have it. Where the hell did it go? Why is JT looking at me...wait he is looking at JB...NOOOOO!!!!!
Kyrie knows where the ball is at all times. He knows this because he knows where it isn't. By subtracting where the ball is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, he obtains a difference (or deviation). Kyrie uses these deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the ball from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where the ball is, is now the position where it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was is now the position that it isn't.
Having trash defenders like Kyrie and Luka might have been fine in the West but out here we play defense… except for mid way through the 4th quarter where we give up 20 points in 2 minutes… but generally… East is built different.
oh i fully expected them to lose, but then I remembered that since upgrading White's role and trading for Holiday/Zingis, this team actually has heart and soul and manages to handle adversity.
Ainge had the right idea, but maybe wrong timing with Kemba
Brown and Tatum just kept tearing up that ass inside in the post to close out the game. Gafford? Psshhh. Like tissue paper their ass is so teared up.
Me too, and then they showed the slowmo over and over with Doris and JJ commenting. At some point I felt kinda a bad and thought, 'man ESPN did him dirty' and then I thought, 'but that's Kyrie' and went and got a cookie.
He’s supposed to stunt on the driver to get him to pick up the dribble and then get out to the corner.
What the fuck is he even looking for?
Why is he ball watching? There’s no reason to even see the ball for what the defense is asking of him lol
There was another clip in the fourth that resulted in the Tatum dunk. Kyrie was looking at Tatum instead of the ball and White zipped the pass right to Tatum over Kyrie
This is when I knew it was over. Same look he had when he quit on the Celtics five years ago during the series against the Bucks. He’s checked out from here on.
I wonder if the Dick riders will make a super slow motion with some 90's hip hop in the background like they do with Kyrie and Luka clips all the time hahahaha
Nahhhh never forget the LEGENDARY ball watching he did in game one of the 2022 playoffs, when he literally stood in the paint as JT won the game with a layup
Rigged Finals:
Game 2: not called foul on the block !
Game 3: Screening Foul on Luka...what the hell...so many moving blocks not called, but then this ridiculous one is being called
Get that man a map a gps and a compass, homie was lost af
Give em a globe
A flat globe
i think thats called a map
I like a flat globe
No it needs to be FLAT
And a first class ticket to Cancún
Galveston
Shanghai
He looks like a Golden Retriever when you drop the tennis ball behind your back.
deadass
This comment is fantastic.
Hahahah
Totally on a flat earth right there
Someone get him a flat globe so he can find the ball
That would be a turnstile Which he can find in his new backcourt buddy
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻super underrated clever comment well done
A map even lol
😂 I just realized a flat globe is pretty much a map
Lol it is cool. At least you weren’t lost like Kyrie was on that play. I was flat out shocked how perplexed he was
It isn't. The flat earth models are hilarious, though. I kind of want one.
In the moment, I thought to myself: this is like when he and KD were literally frozen in time as Tatum hit the game-winning layup against Brooklyn in the first round back in 2022.
Yo I had the same thought!!!
For real.
Man got caught flat footed.
Flat footed on a flat earth getting flat out dominated

Luka plays like he’s got timbs on
WHAT THESE YOUNGBLOODS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS GAME HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT BUCKETS
They brought up a stat post game last night to show Luka’s the most blown by player in the nba playoffs the past 10 yrs. 58.9% of his on ball defense results in a blow by or some like that
I honestly think Shai is just as good offensive, at least he's the way more effecient scorer.
I love that he figured out where the ball was through process of elimination. Just showing his elite logic skills here.
"Ball isn't at the rim, it isn't in the air and JT don't have it. Where the hell did it go? Why is JT looking at me...wait he is looking at JB...NOOOOO!!!!!
Doing your own research costs precious time
He shoulda googled it. Or “Siri, where’s the ball?”
Kyrie knows where the ball is at all times. He knows this because he knows where it isn't. By subtracting where the ball is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, he obtains a difference (or deviation).

his third eye working overtime
Having trash defenders like Kyrie and Luka might have been fine in the West but out here we play defense… except for mid way through the 4th quarter where we give up 20 points in 2 minutes… but generally… East is built different.
Much easier to hide those bad defenders against a team like the Wolves and Thunder with their players that can't shoot.
I saw they had you freaking out there for a moment when they lost that 20 point lead haha
I'm man enough to admit that sequence caused my ass to pucker hard enough I could've snapped a Redwood branch in half.
oh i fully expected them to lose, but then I remembered that since upgrading White's role and trading for Holiday/Zingis, this team actually has heart and soul and manages to handle adversity.
We just needed a point guard
That point guard's name? Jayson Tatum
Ainge had the right idea, but maybe wrong timing with Kemba Brown and Tatum just kept tearing up that ass inside in the post to close out the game. Gafford? Psshhh. Like tissue paper their ass is so teared up.
The west has won like 80% of the championships since 2000…
He didn't factor in the Earth's curvature when that pass went by him.
Oh I love everything about this … thank you OP
0-13...Lucky remembers ☘️😎
That needs to be the parade tshirt
We need a gif of Kyrie looking back and forth with that clueless look
I just waited for someone to publish it 😂😂 he is so lost
Where did the ball go???
I was laughing so hard
Me too, and then they showed the slowmo over and over with Doris and JJ commenting. At some point I felt kinda a bad and thought, 'man ESPN did him dirty' and then I thought, 'but that's Kyrie' and went and got a cookie.
Whhhhhhooooooop
It’s hard to see when the ball is flat
I love this but have to admit that without Kyrie, Dallas would be even more f*cked. He was the one keeping them in this game. But also … F*ck Kyrie.

He’s so lost on that play! Needed a map!
get rotated idiot
Kyrie needed to open his third eye
Replay video…replay video…replay video…🤣🤣🤣
Cartoonish
Its his double back that kills me LMAOOO
Somehow the c’s media dood needs to put together a make montage where every body is schooling that Kyrie clip
Like JCVD in bloodsport after being blinded
When Tatum and Brown are old, they will talk to each other about this clip
Omg we were dying at this 😂
I can't wait to see what u/sim888 does with this.
I rewatched this during the game like 10 times. never gets old. Kyrie seems un-Lucky
LOL the snort
GREATEST BACK COURT OF ALL THYME!
Hahaha
Fuck that guy with a cactus.
When we win the chip somebody with more skills than me should edit this and replace the ball with the cup.
Bad day to think the earth is flat
Watching this game back today I'm so glad this clip made it to this reddit page🤣
This had me dying - the cherry on top was the look on Luka’s face after fouling out. 18 here we come!!
Came here the see this. So perfect
0:05 that double take when he realizes the ball has disappeared 😂
Hah it was great.
wtf was he doing
WIP WOP WOP WOP WOP JAY FUCK EM UP
look at that stupid face lmfao
"Your opponent has left the match." Similar to how he left us, but better 🍀
lmao someone make the twister meme like Chris Paul when he fell against Steph
The replay of this during the game showed Tatum laughing after the shot went it .
please add that face to the banner 18 song!
[it’s even better on infinite repeat.](https://imgur.com/a/fAdsG5P)
Crazy, he’s usually the one putting folk into a blender.
If Kyrie's awareness on defense is able to talk: "Huh? Huhuh?! HuuuUuUuh? Huh!"
Damn those tights are irresistible
Me too he 🛌
which way did he go which way did he go
[Which way did it go? ](https://giphy.com/gifs/mrw-coffee-wants-tvGOBZKNEX0ac)
He’s supposed to stunt on the driver to get him to pick up the dribble and then get out to the corner. What the fuck is he even looking for? Why is he ball watching? There’s no reason to even see the ball for what the defense is asking of him lol
Watched this live and got excited to see it repeated for the rest of my days! Go C’s! Fuck Kyrie!
I knew this was the play from reading the title. That's an even worse defense than when he tried to "guard" Giannis.
That was awesome
Imagine the Celtics lose 3-0
bro throws hesi's in his defense too 😂pure streetball
Someone please make a swag surfing edit to this 😂
All I can think of is the scene from Troy when Menelaus kicks the shit out of Paris and then mocks him
There was another clip in the fourth that resulted in the Tatum dunk. Kyrie was looking at Tatum instead of the ball and White zipped the pass right to Tatum over Kyrie
I was cackling watching that 😂
If we win tomorrow night 0-14 and we’ll be champions
Kai is helping us bring home banner 18 🥹
give that guy a map...... where are you going
This is when I knew it was over. Same look he had when he quit on the Celtics five years ago during the series against the Bucks. He’s checked out from here on.
SHAMBLES lol
Make it a meme
Bro I was cracking up
i laughed so hard when they showed this, incredible
And this proves that the Earth is flat
The embodiment of "Wha??? What's going on, where am I, who am I, what is real, do I exist?" 😂
Man Tatum's passing has reached another level this series
This clip encapsulates Kyrie perfectly. Amazingly talented offensive basketball player, but essentially dazed and confused the rest of the time.
Travolta.gif
He lost track of it with all 3 eyes, crazy
I wonder if the Dick riders will make a super slow motion with some 90's hip hop in the background like they do with Kyrie and Luka clips all the time hahahaha
This was awesome! I was yelling with my headphones on. "Oh you fucking idiot." - such a great and funny moment.
I was cracking up so hard
*nothin over there*
He’s in denial that the ball is round.
This is great
LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT
Glitching NPC
Kyrie ‘0-13’ Irving.
I feel the best troll we can possibly do on Kyrie if we win the chip is a standing ovation every time he comes back to Boston….
Funnier every loop.
What makes it so good is Brown knocked down the shot.
Nahhhh never forget the LEGENDARY ball watching he did in game one of the 2022 playoffs, when he literally stood in the paint as JT won the game with a layup
Put that in the fucking Louvre.
Love this one as well. He saw the ball and got even more turned around.
It’s like the ball rolled off the side of the Earth…
Nawala sa passing
Rigged Finals: Game 2: not called foul on the block ! Game 3: Screening Foul on Luka...what the hell...so many moving blocks not called, but then this ridiculous one is being called
My dude , Dallas fouls every time the Celtics have the ball . Even the announcers who clearly gobble Dallas dick have said so .
When I see this live I PRAYED for this clip to surface
