Ant form went downhill Just like his character in the movie hustle,where he was getting cooked by Bo Cruz in the end
Gobert is a punk,always instigating
Kat is delusional talking about being the greatest shooting big Man in the history...he isn't even close to Dirk

Part of this is good Mavs defense but Edwards and towns are straight up choking like crazy. Missing shots they were hitting against Denver

Karl-Anthony Towns missing this many wide-open threes over the course of this series, has been unbelievable.

KAT has nobody to guard this series..He's like a lost puppy on defense.

Towns plays like a little guard.

This guy wants to shoot threes instead of battle in the post like a big man

KAT is not strong enough to battle in the post against anyone that is mildly strong, and you only have so much room to make him a roll man when he's on the court with Rudy.

If Mavs start controlling their turnovers, this game will blow open in their favor


How can a guy who's 7 feet, 260 not be strong enough? Even so-called "softie" Pau Gasol was a good post player.

Edwards is just not ready yet. It’s that simple.

Gafford can't dribble. It is why blitzing Luka can work when Lively is out.

Wolves giving up 60+ in the half can’t be a good sign.
