Minnesota at Dallas, 7:30 pm

[Murphs56]

How about Rudy? He puts up 21 pts, 14 boards and was 9 of 9 from the field. Conley had 12 pts 9 asts with just 2 turnovers. So much for losing trades.

AARROOOO!!!

Looked pretty nice!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! What a win! Jaden and Ant locking things up on the last possession, our future looks bright! They finally have the right pieces to take them to the next level. This team is Jaden and Ant all the way, Gobert KAT and Conley will help them unlock their potential.

Aside from that dry spell in the 4th quarter, this was a preview what we can expect from the team. Good defense, excellent offense. Won the game on D! How many times have they done that?! They just locked up two all-stars who are great O players. Definitely a signature win brought by those two.

Can't wait for KAT to join the party!

Great W!!!! ARRRROOOOOOO!!!

However we can't waste +22pt lead.

Nice win gents. I was impressed how multiple guys made plays and they absolutely torched the Mavs inside.

I've been wondering... KAT... what injury does this guy have and when on earth is he going to be back playing basketball?

A Grade 3 calf strain. Should be back after ASG, but no concrete return date yet...

He seems to be practicing at least. Then last night Finch changed up the lineup and moved slomo to the bench, think that's to get him used to playing with thr 2nd unit for when Kat returns?

Great win. Kyle Anderson is such a good player. Curious to see how we close games, we have a lot of roster options.

Minnesota looks like a solid play in team after that meh

I liked how we looked last night. Conley is not the player he was, but is steady, knows how to get the ball where it needs to go, and is willing to take a back seat allowing others (especially Ant) be the focus.

We desperately need another prime creator though. Hopefully KAT comes back near 100%. Even if we don’t make a huge splash in the playoffs, we need to find out this season if the Gobert/KAT will succeed. If not, I’m sure we could move KAT for a more naturally fitting forward plus assets (Siakim?).

We were always a playin caliber team. Now we look like a playoff team.

With about 3 minutes left in the 3rd and the Wolves running away with it (up 20+ from what I recall), the refs completely took over the game. Non-stop foul calls on the Wolves while letting the Mavs basically shoot free throws each possession the rest of the quarter, then it was playoff reffing on the other end of the court (aka Wolves got nothing).

They clearly had bet on the spread and didn't want the Wolves blowing out the new hot duo. It was pretty crazy to watch just how much they could put the breaks on the game and get the Mavs back in it. Don't get me wrong, the Mavs (mostly Kyrie) were insane in the 4th, but the only reason they had a chance to do that was the refs giving them calls on basically everything and the Wolves on only the most blatantly obvious plays.

If the refs didn't put their mark on the game it's a blowout.

No chance not even in the pathetic WC

8 to 10 seed I think

We all know you are nothing, but a troll with your ballboy account and 40 posts. Considering the Wolves are in 5th place last I checked and playing their best ball of the year there is certainly a chance at better than 8-10.
You're that 76ers troll we are constantly chasing out of here. Nothing better to do than be a jerk on another teams message board. I just checked again. 8th place but one game out of 4th and 3 games out of 3rd.

I won't go that far but certainly feel the momentum was shifting because Dallas had figure us out or we are getting tired. We should use a timeout earlier, play less aggressive on D so less fouls and trade blows to make it more difficult for Dallas. By the 4th qtr, as Jim Pete said, we should use a foul or two to break Kyrie's rhythm (of course it's easier said than done).
