They almost choked it away tho against the best closers in the league. And prolly the best closers in past 20 years.
Are we a nightmare match up for DAL?
We have three excellent perimeter defenders, they have no answer for MIN’s size, and they have no Ant stopper either.
I said if they could defend for a reason lol. We would be the favourites in a series.
But they better set up for playoffs now because they got more size and switchable players after deadline in Gafford and PJ (plus lively II whos so good), and already have a duo of elite superstar closers. So they more tricky to face in playoffs now than they were post trade deadline.
I think we could take them but adding better depth on unstoppable Luka and best 2nd star around in a Irving will be ridiculous to face. Gameplan will be attack Luka and expose him, and in defence let him get his and limit the open 3s/rim runs for rest. And hope it works.
OKC should done what dallas did and added more size in their depth for matchups.
