WE WANT KY RIE.

If Min held on tonight I'd like their chances

1-1 with KAT & Ant not playing great, you'd take that

Was hoping for the Wolves to win tonight. This game showed Ant and Kat are not ready yet.

 

[Mikeadunne]

I’m bummed

Here in Dallas, I can assure you this result isn’t surprising. Luka is beat up and he’s still the best on the court.

Kylie and Luka are the reason for the alley oops being so easy. They both can get inside easily against everyone so far and if you don’t try to pressure them, they will just score themselves or feed to an open 3.

 

[Mikeadunne]

I didn’t catch the second half but it’s kinda wild how Minnesota’s defense was seemingly so fine tuned to offset Denver’s strengths and can’t do anything right vs Dallas’s attack

Edit - actually they still do some things “right” just bad matchups for Luka and kyrie whereas book, Beal, kd, jokic, and Murray they had tons of matchup flexibility

 

[Gavva]

Agree with you there. Wolves were doing things mostly right the whole night. They just gave up too many alley-oops. If Ant didn't throw away that last possession and just drove to the basket, he would've gotten a foul or a nice pass to an open teammate. Just mistakes at crucial moments doomed them.

Ant and KAT must've texted Kobe before this series or something. They've been rough.

Andrew Nembhard. This is the type of shxt I talk about. Whyyyyyy??? Just let it be boring. Winning in four games is more fun than five. I swear. Trust me, bro.

When the 2 best players of the Celtics shut the Pacers down in the 4th quarter. Great game by White and Holiday.

The adults in the room

God dammit

I don't think @BillHanna cares who gets credit for being the best players on the team lol

Sidenote: That play Rick Carlisle ran to try to get that game tying 3 was sick!

 

[Mikeadunne]

Man jrue holiday seems like an absolute nightmare to play against. I would quit basketball forever I think

 

[Gavva]

I can imagine playing against him 1v1 and all I have to do is score a point to win. I would still lose.
Ps. Haliburton’s maize sweater can only be worn in Indiana, I hope.

Can a dunk win a series????

Ant man sparked new life w that hammer

 

[BillHanna]

If Draymond nut punched Luka…….. I would NOT care.

 

[Mikeadunne]

If Draymond nut punched Luka…….. I would NOT care.

I would care, I would be highly amused

 

[Byphy]

The arguing/complaining from both of them would move mountains

Has there ever been a less competitive conference final? Geez...

Dal/Min has been fun/exciting series to me only separated by 2 closers doing their thing in the clutch

 

[Mikeadunne]

I agree wcf has been a thousand times more entertaining

 

[Mikeadunne]

Man, I guess Dallas might have won this series anyways just bc they have two cold blooded mfers but I question some of minn’s lineups and defensive strategies

I mean in terms of possibly seeing two sweeps.

Will be a legendarily toxic series

 

[Gavva]

I wonder if Kat will be better next year, coz I know Ant will. Minnesota needs a tweak in their roster to come out on top of this brutal western conference.
I can’t stand Luka. Really not looking forward to cheering for Dallas in the coming days.

For a coaching staff that solved Denver, they sure look clueless against Dallas.
