2024 NBA Playoffs: Western Conference Finals: #3 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-1)

[___Rand___]

I hope this is a joke. The Timberwolves were a better defense all year and have several high-level perimeter defenders. The Celtics are not gonna be able to show Luka anything different

I hope this is a joke. McDaniels doesn't have the size nor strength to defend Luka as we saw ALL SERIES. Ant was too small for Luka but too big for Kyrie who was too quick for him and left him gassed - as we saw ALL SERIES. Tatum or Brown have the size length and strength to do a better job on Luka one on one. Holiday and White will be better matchups for Kyrie. Celtics will have a problem with the quicker taller front court of Dallas vs. Theirs.

Lol Luka isn’t getting stopped. Bet something

I didn't say Luka is getting stopped. Find a SINGLE SENTENCE where I said it. But they can slow him down better than Twolves. Personnel and scheme have a lot to do with it. Now I don't know if current Celtic's coach is up to task. I know Ime would've done a better job.

Well I basically called it going down like this but pretty disappointed in Minnesota. Didn't fight at all. McDaniels just checked out. Town got all aggressive once it was over and flexing after cutting to 30 was super cringe. Multiple cheap shots including 2 at Lively's head is bush league stuff. And ANT just walking out. It's cool he likes to talk, but as Luka says it's easy to talk when you up. Be a man and shake Luka and Ky's hand after they handed you your ass.

Ant is one of the bigger punks in the league. I totally respect SGA after the OKC series, this guy Ant is an overrated punk.

So Luka should get the season MVP next year

If he wins a ring this year, I fully expect him to party all summer and come 50 lbs heavier so start the year.

Nah...if he wins a ring him and Jokić are gonna retire and give a chance to american Players to win back the claim of the Best player on earth,at least for the next year ,untill Wemby starts winning

Cuban selling the team is wild. So odd to see this random dude get handed the trophy.

There were rumors that he lost a bit of bread shorting bitcoin. However, he still is a minority owner and he made 1 billion plus from the sale after taxes. He didn't even lose his courtside seat.

One of the main reasons Cuban still has a minority seat is that Miriam Adelson(widow of Sheldon Adelson founder of Las Vegas Sands Corp.) wants to use Cuban as the figure head to bring a casino to the DFW metroplex. She has been pushing very hard with her lobbyists to legalize gambling in Texas along with a campaign in Florida. The Sands corp. basically divested all of their U.S. holdings while maintaining their holdings in Asia(Macau, Singapore).

The reason they did this was because they were under hot water with the US government for connections to the CCP in gaining gambling licenses in Macau.

Bad looks all around.

To be fair, Towns was one of the few who played hard... and I thought it started a lot earlier than you did. Still... those first three games (and 9 years of maddening great/horrific play) has sealed his fate out of Minnesota.

Oh and this ANT presser is even worse. C'mon man. You a great player, a great personality. I know some will say he's young, but he's been in the league a minute.

Oh I know why he did it. That Adelson money is DEEP and they are gonna spend it.
There was also speculation that they were gonna co-fund some of his other ventures

I have no doubt he did some really dumb things with crypto and lost a ton. He was even using the Mavs to promote his crypto moves…which turned out to be a scam….

LOL at you trying to get in this convo. Same account?

Are you dense?

I was the original person that criticized you for being defensive about your beloved Lakers. I called you an ESPN shill, remember Neo?

I suppose a short memory is useful when you're a Lebron fan

Couldn’t have said it better.

McDaniels checked out like 3 games ago. Ant is extremely immature. Maybe that Netflix movie got himself inflated.

that would offend me if I was a Lebron fan but....

Anyone who thinks that’s a dirty play has no idea.

Lively hadn't even gone up for the dunk, and Naz Reid clearly lowered his arm causing him to hit Lively in the head. Go watch the replay. It wasn't even close to a play on the ball.

Read on Twitter

Naz Reid clearly got beat and swung down without looking. Reckless play? Pretty clearly. Suggesting it was an intentional swing towards Dereck Lively's head is silly.

Bingo.
