What's with him sailing all these sideline passes? Is this something he's had trouble with all season or just recently?

Kyrie definitely has games where he looks like ass. Never full on consistent

When you're hobbled and weathered like Luka and Kyrie, you always want to finish the series for extra rest.

If they blow this game, that is a big deal.

And more games mean more opportunity for further injuries.

Terrible if they lose.

Anthony Edwards used to be horrible at it, got better as the season progressed, but has really struggled against Dallas.

He is generally an inaccurate passer, for what it is worth. He's improving, but it has been rough this series.

Wild this commentating team can't figure out that Dallas in fact did NOT call a timeout while Minny had the ball...

Luka can’t be stopped but I think Kyle Anderson has been the best on him out of all the Wolves. Slow vs slow I guess.
