Celtics-Mavs series could be interesting. Celtics might have defenders to match up with Kyrie and Luka (I don't know who's going to take him on - Brown, Tatum, or Holiday?). But their frontcourt is going to be vulnerable to Dallas' younger taller bigs. KP if he comes back may not be in game shape to be impactful.

Wolves doing well to keep this close so far. Feels like Mavs should be up more.

At this point Luka is Yujiro to Edwards' 13 year old Baki.

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

Do you remember what Yujiro did to Baki? When he killed his mom.

Would Minnesota do a Signed and Trade DLo, Hayes, Rui for Gobert?

Wolves get Kat's best friend and a younger PG that can Start with Edwards or Be the 6th man/backup PG for Minnesota.

DLo, Edwards, McDaniels, KAT, Reid
Conley, Alexander,Slomo,Rui, Hayes off the bench
Bronny will become Murray 2.0

Gotta be disappointing for Wolves fans after Kat looked like he turned the corner on his horrific garbage playoff dropping history w/ the last 2 rounds hes back........i guess he just turns to crap against elite playoff defenses which Phoenix and Denver arent
