Well, they're shooting 30% from the field. Ick. 5-19 for non-Gobert shots. Can't win like that.

This is what you need your superstar #1 to do. Show your team that this is the game. There is no game 6

I know luka is owning them, but having Kleber/Lively just bumps our defense to another level

Luka is one of the most truly fearless players I've seen..

Even LeBron has looked shook (ie/ the Mavs' Finals). Of course I've seen Luka have poor shooting games but never have I watched him and thought he looked scared to take the big shots end of game or like the moment was too overwhelming. He's just either on with his shot or not. Like MJ or Kobe, they might miss but they weren't afraid to.

End of game or any time they want to take the shot...I've seen Bron almost avoid the ball late in games earlier in his career and I'm not even trying to turn this into a "hate on Bron" session, I think everyone needs to stop hating & embrace his final years BUT Luka really is different beast than most players.

We'll take the free FTs for the flagrant/technical and the court time without a regular rotation player, go ahead

This series is making me like Draymond and him choking Gobert out more by proxy.

Dallas are probably happy that the wolves plan is to feed Rudy in the post like he's prime Shaq

He knew what he was doing. This is the same idiot who mocked CoVID by licking a microphone.

Oh because you think Minny are the only team getting cooked by Gafford since he joined Dallas?
Remember his stat about the number of successive converted shots hitted comparable to Wilt

Luka with 20 points already? Lively back? Game is over

Gobert has terrible hands.

I feel bad for the people who shelled out money to be at the game...Wolves have zero interest in this game.

How Irving even SAW Kleber there...

This reminds me of another playoff home elimination game.

Who wins Game 5?
