Minnesota at Dallas, 7:30 pm

[Klomp]

Lineup switch, Prince in for Kyle

[Calinks]

Luka with Kyrie is a ridiculous combination. Think they will be a nightmare to stop, we can't be sloppy.

[Domejandro]

Rudy Gobert has been doing a great job in with containing, the first few minutes.

[Domejandro]

Man, Kyrie is so talented.

Good to see the Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert connection early.

[Colbinii]

2 games in a row ANT is relentless at attacking the rim. The Conley affect already in full force.

[Domejandro]

I just don’t understand why Jaylen Nowell would make that pass. Why push tempo by outlet passing to your center? Just terrible.

[Domejandro]

Rudy Gobert’s defense has been unbelievable tonight, this is the guy that Minnesota traded for.

[Calinks]

Ant attacking is what will make him a superstar. Hew needs to play like that every game, pull a Dwanye Wade, that is unstoppable in the modern game.

[Domejandro]

I understand that Finch is trying to build confidence in Jaylen Nowell, but at some point you might want to look at other options.

[Guest84]

The fouls Luka gets I tell ya…

[Calinks]

We are looking splendiferous! Now imagine if we could play like this but also integrate KAT in a positive way, that would be a scary team.

[Colbinii]

Our defense looks excellent. Perfect rotations, excellent High-Wall on the pick and roll, rebounding to close out possessions and not fouling.

If you played every game at this level you are talking 50 win range pretty realistically.

[TimberKat]

The little help D from Conley on Luca at 1:48 2nd qtr is what the DLo trade is about. We would had gave up an open 3, instead we forcing Luca into a tough shot

[_AIJ_]

No clue why they have a play for Austin rivers

[Murphs56]

Conley from the corners is deadly. Anywhere else I think I'd like for him to give it up lol.

It's either Rivers or Nowell or JMcL to guard Luca and Kyrie. All those are not good options.

[Calinks]

Earlier in the season when everyone was harping on how slow KAT and Gobert were, I was saying the bigger problem was actually our guard play. Dlo and Ant were getting worked on the perimeter every night, with poor communication, a lack of knowledge on where to be, etc. It was big hole that got exploited. Conely is much smarter positionally even if he was slower and smaller than Dlo, he just knows where to be better and that is huge. On top of that Ant has made strides.

We get a consistent Conely and an Ant who is playing solid defense 70 percent of the time, that is a massive jump over Dlo and Ant making mistakes over and over again. Jaden and Gobert know their stuff too. having 4/5 or 3/5 guys on the same page makes a difference.

[TimberKat]

Other than the Wood 3 at the buzzer, we are looking good. Keep teams under 105 and you got a good chance to win

[TimberKat]

Ant is getting better in going to the rim. The next level is to find Gobert when the double team comes. He missed an open Gobert at least twice tonight.
