There's a decent chance we'll have to move the previous thread completely off the GB and into the dreaded "restricted" forum, so if anyone wants to quote any incredibly wise posts from that thread from either yourself of someone else, probably do that soon. Sorry and thanks.


Bisme I’m not sure who I supposed to blame now , You or Celtics but man it’s worse , choppy , reloading , bad AF :lol: :lol: :roll:

Tough place for Minnesota to be. Take Gobert out and the driving lanes open up, but if you keep him in, you're sacrificing offense. Need to try and attack Kyrie and Luka and see if you can get them in foul trouble.

Minny lucky they’re only down 5. NAW bailed Ant out on that last possession.

Good sign for the TWolves: McDaniels is off to a great start.

I thought Minny would win this series in 6 pretty easily coming into the series. Still think they will win today but that's just my stubbornness. Can't believe how good the Mavs became this year.

At this point, I just want to see Ant play with more force & aggressiveness. He’s just frozen trying to analyze the defense. Just go & try to make something happen.

Naw I’m not sure Edwards is Baki at this point - he running from that heat and only talking after he wins-

Said that crap to Kyrie and kyrie came out and gave him absolute work.

And In hindsight I think edwards said he wanted Kyrie to highlight how much he didn’t want Luka -

Edwards has not taken Luka off the dribble all series
