NBA’s Top 5 Plays of the Night | November 14, 2024

[@kmsideout]

Luka’s bad defense appears almost nightly on the top 5 or top 10. Collin’s got a lob dunk in crunch time and Luka was clueless.

[@tominatorxd7983]

xD😂

[@cpataxpro]

For Luka, defense is just an intermission between getting buckets. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@Leo-wk7yw]

​@@cpataxpro Or crying to the refs.

[@cpataxpro]

@@Leo-wk7yw True ... but slow short guys who can't jump do get hacked a lot. 😅

Never turn your back when defending, come on Luka, they teach u when u 8🔥🔥

This dudes voice takes me back in 2010 when i saw every highlight vídeos in the nba site every day with my father, shit man, i miss him so much, and this narrator still rocks almost 20 years later, Thank you for your job, you are awesome

[@salimsalimg]

Luka's out there playing a one man zone 😂

[@marcaracil601]

A Legend says he still playing zone 😂

Its the "fling" that makes goatmentator unique 😂

Double zero with the shot clock euro

[@drinkwatereverytime]

This commentator should be #1 on the countdown

[@jaseplet5657]

He sounds like he has diabetes and needs to clear his nasal passage.

[@cpataxpro]

@@jaseplet5657 Your comment sounds like u need to clear your cranium.

He is. "The GOATmentator" 🔥🔥 🐐 🔥🔥

[@Tom-ez7pp]

I agree ​@@jaseplet5657

[@plasticwrap]

Luka looking at Lively like Lively is the dude that said he could carry the squad before a round starts

[@diamondexteriorcleaning]

Lauri Markkanen the FINNISHer is wild work from the GOATmentator!

[@cpataxpro]

Not to diminish the goatmentator's bars, but "The Finnisher" is LM's nickname. 😃

[@diamondexteriorcleaning]

@@cpataxpro It's a nickname that goes hard! Being from the UK I only get to watch highlights of a lot of the later games (3/4am starts) Don't get to see the Jazz play much unfortunately!

[@cpataxpro]

@@diamondexteriorcleaning He's a true warrior. Jazz need a true center to improve.

[@hotsung]

What the hell were the mavs doing on defense on that #2 play?

[@mattparker-2]

ehh play didnt matter, there was still 6 seconds to come back

[@kolst]

Luka was watching the ball instead of his man and got backdoored

[@JonahsWail]

Yea, I just echoed this. With the game tied in the last 10 seconds, what the F

[@hotsung]

@@kolstthat wasn’t even much of a cut, he took like one step towards the basket!

[@bhop3238]

Typical Luka. Got backdoored? Luka was running a one man zone.

[@jaygarricktheflash]

[@soriba391]

I like the beat in the background. Sounds like a mad 2000s New York anthem

[@CecilyJames-b9m]

On that #2 play, what in the world were the Mavs doing on defense?

[@1greghawk]

Man sized dunk for #1 play, great to hear it voiced be the #1 Goatmentator

[@40THUNDERSBasketball]

what a great pass at No.2

[@statdunk]

It does not matter, u can not turn your back on defence

[@savagefootball2448]

my boi is back

[@usmanadetayo2951]

Dallas got no defense in their bag this season

[@cpataxpro]

No amount of Klay buckets will cure that.

Great effort by the guy that contested the dunk in the end

[@cpataxpro]

Yep. Maybe they will honor him with a poster. 😅

[@danlower7834]

Great Countdown, but the number two should be number one.

[@SwaggVictor]

Our favourite commentator is back 🔥

[@gwenaellepage4450]

#3 : Luka defending at his best. Not even running… Ah errr no : #2 Luka defending even better.

[@randyh.7782]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Utah Jazz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamespark8909]

GOATMENTATOR!!!

[@thomasbrown8086]

Goatmentater is back yes!!

[@drdeedeecurtis]

Luka v Utah 37/7/7, 13/25 = 52% Shooting %, 7/7 FT, only 3 turnovers, very efficient game! If any other star gets those stats, everyone praises him. The hatred for Luka is unbelievable!

[@HSTLMLWL]

Other stars don't have brainfarts like he had on the game losing play

[@cpataxpro]

It's not hatred dear, it's asking him to think while on D. He was playing zone coverage while the rest of the team was in man to man. He didn't even expensd the energy to swivel his head. No amount of offense will make up for poor D in the NBA.

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Well done Luka, well done!

[@ZobbaGAMERYT]

Will they respond

[@DaxVuchko23]

Don¢i¢ doin Harden

[@Jivassf100]

GOATMENTATOR

[@Wonkzzilla]

Honorable Mention is the Luka Give-&-Go Lob.

[@thatfatguy7591]

#4 That's a dunk for a pre injury younger Klay. Instead he pulled a Ben Simmons.

[@fuguranto]

am I insane or how was the Clarkson one not a double dribble? did his other hand ever touch or was the ball just against his leg for a split second?

[@drewbewho]

I thought i was the only one to see it.

[@ibgib]

You don't get it. There are no more: travels, carries, offensive fouls (charges, chicken wings, elbows, off arm pushoffs, etc.). Basically the only rules left are: blocking (like you thought charges still exist?) touching legs on 3-pointers (thanks a lot Zaza), and not having a big enough Instagram following.

[@cpataxpro]

@@ibgib That's simply 🐂💩

[@cpataxpro]

The refs stopped calling "carries" at the start of the 2023-2024 season ... it's an unwritten rule now to reduce whistles and judgement calls. Also, the first bounce was to control a loose ball, it was not an intentional dribble. The entire sequence was chaotic, but there were no clear rule violations.

[@drewbewho]

​@@ibgibpretty much! 😂

[@amar8856]

nobody talk about Jordan Clarckson double double on the first pla y???? im in shock

[@ralphbai5219]

luka's defense is a joke.

[@cpataxpro]

He was playing zone while everyone else was man to man. Mental lapse for sure.

[@jeffnorthcutt7899]

#5 play double dribbling into two travels and an offensive foul😂

[@lazthegreat10]

Luka just walks off into space and forgets where he is

[@jhunjasareno7595]

D winning assist must be the #1 place

[@Hyasuma_Pew]

it should have been called Luka's Defendless top 5

[@ChadNetwork463]

Liked this video!

[@jevpioquinto4325]

Extra special ❤

[@aoihgadnlgago]

great flop at n.5. Oscar nominee

[@cpataxpro]

🎭 🏆 🎭

[@noiiberino2074]

Where's the Sharpe dunk?

[@andreacorrado]

Top 1 of the travels

[@cpataxpro]

The rule is gather step plus two. There was no travel. Read the rules.

[@andreacorrado]

@ jump or release the ball BEFORE making step number 3! That’s the clear rule in basketball (NBA as well)

[@cpataxpro]

@@andreacorrado No. He dribbled three times and then picked up his dribble (controlled the ball in a gather step) on his right foot (the gather counts as a zero step) and then he took one additonal step (two are allowable) on his left foot and elevated into his shot. Watch the video in slo-mo at .25x (use the settings feature ... the gear icon), count the steps, and read the rules.

[@andreacorrado]

@@cpataxpro it’s exactly what i did, to slow down the frames…just for analizing the movement.

[@cpataxpro]

@@andreacorrado Ok good. Then focus on the second part (the close-up view) of the play. JC dribbles, then he "picks up his dribble" or "controls the ball" with his hands while on his right foot (the "gather step" which counts as zero), then he steps on his left foot (step one of two allowable "additional steps") and immediately launches up into his shot off that left foot. He gathered the ball and took one step. No travel violation since he could have taken another step on his right foot before shooting or passing if he wanted to. Note that the reason he launched off his left foot was an attempt to draw the foul on the defender (but no foul was called). Hope that helps, it was a chaotic and complicated play.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

#5 was such a blatant carry (twice) and offensive foul. Should've replaced it with Doncic defending the Utah crowd for the game winner lol

[@cpataxpro]

The refs stopped calling "carries" at the start of the 2023-2024 season ... it's an unwritten rule now to reduce whistles and judgement calls. Also, the first bounce was to control a loose ball, it was not an intentional dribble. That was a blatent defensive flop, and the charge call rules require that both of the defenders feet must be set (planted) in a defensive position (squared up). The entire sequence was chaotic, but there were no clear rule violations.

[@ThunderWoe]

Imagine this being a top 10 instead of 5

[@yisroelkonovitch]

Depressing game

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

Luka is a top 3 talent offensively but defensively he needs to be switched on. I do think he's rusty and out of shape due to no preseason though

[@MrAmazing00]

Still to this day I don't know what he says at the end. Turn up?

[@rockstarkooler]

Luka needs to learn otherwise he cant win final minutes

[@zursmith]

Putting your shoulder in the defender is now not an offensive foul ?

[@killbossa]

A two-handed dunk over a much shorter player is the #1 play? All of JC's clutch plays were better. Stop catering to the bigger markets, NBA.

[@swish1457]

the west will be a battle between Houston and OKC, The east will be a battle between Cleveland And Boston for the next two years.

[@Goonisms]

I watched this on the toilet

[@cpataxpro]

How did you like the flush at No. 1 (or was it No. 2 for you)? 🤣

[@Goonisms]

@cpataxpro LMAO

[@Hyasuma_Pew]

Luka got no D, until he can play D and get back to defense, mavs got no chance going back to the finals.

[@todetimenamora34]

XD

[@cpataxpro]

He was playing zone ... coaching error or mental lapse, or both?

[@joshelnar1727]

Mavs no longer dangerous team

[@JonahsWail]

What the hell kind of defense is that at #2

[@cpataxpro]

Luka was in zone coverage while everyone else was man to man. Either poor coaching or a mental lapse .... or both. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@raffymushkil]

swap #2 to #1

[@kouamecarmelkra8179]

En plus pas de Raphaël leao est ce que ça te va

[@DateMike22]

Well kinda easy to make a top 5 when there was only one game last night 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@Uceta]

Luka Doncic is a horrible defender. He has lost many games in the final seconds because of his poor defense.

[@chukwumaahuchogu8591]

That's why Luka will probably never be MVP. His defense is so bad

[@nayracrebla3323]

OMG😱😱😱 LOOK👀WHO'S BACK AGAIN? ON THE TRACK? #theONE #theREAL #theGOATMENTATOR🏀🐐👍👌💪💪💪

[@JYAKSPORTS]

😮😮😮

[@cinnamonroll29]

Come on, man, Jordan Clarkson's winning pass to John Colins wasn't the Top Play of the day? Talk about Mavs bias.

[@mattparker-2]

to be fair, it was a pretty simple pass and just shitty defense compared to an actual poster

[@cpataxpro]

S/b No. 1 for that Jordan Clarkson *LOOK* at 1:03 .... *oh momma, bad intent.* 😱
