So Anthony Edwards is said to hunt Kyrie. Would Kyrie scores in double digits? Minny really wants to swap the Mavs four straight.

I'm hoping this fuels Kyrie and they actually go to Kyrie more. If Ant wants to guard Kyrie, let him expend his energy on the defensive end. Kyrie's a whole new animal 1v1 vs the other guys Ant had to guard who's default was usually a jumpshot (Murray, Beal, Booker).

Well obviously Ant will stay on Kyrie because Conley can't guard him. Mcdaniels will stick on Luka. So that's their defensive gameplan.

BSPN apparently is just skipping the Conference FInals and going straight to the Finals and deciding who will win that. How do they get away with disrespecting teams this way when they have an agreement with the NBA? It's just shameful.

Let them keep doing it. It's bulletin board material for the Mavs to step up and prove them wrong.

Even if things don't work out in this series or next year, at least we can take comfort in that the Mavs are going to win the West in 2026.

My bad guys, I put the wrong hat on before leaving the house. Meant to have my 2024 Finals champions hat on.

This was a year ago but safe to assume Jokic is rooting for Luka and the Mavs against Minnesota.

Why do you worry about things like this? We can be the underdog. That's fine.

It's not about being the underdog I know we're the underdog. It's disrespectful to both Dallas and Indiana though. I honestly just hate Disney and ESPN and wish they would lose the rights to NBA they're truly awful you get mostly dumbasses acting like they're experts on there. This goes even beyond just the Mavs with me I think they're awful in general about sports.

I fully agree. It's very annoying. Let's just hope it motivates the team. I'd rather they talk smack about the team constantly so the team feels fired up then talk glowingly and we get big headed and lay an egg. This team always seems to play better when they have a chip on their shoulders or are the underdog.

Not sure how healthy Luka is, but this is an opportunity to win a ring and he needs to win it. There's no Jokic in the way. I believe that Luka and Jokic are the two best players in the NBA.

ESPN has been disrespecting Mavs for a long time now, it's not a one time thing

Though i have to give credit to Legler, he's basically been defending Mavs and Luka entire year.

The standards are always higher for Luka. SGA (6 months older than Luka) can lose in the second round and miss the playoffs almost every year of his career, no problem, Embiid can be 30 and never make the Eastern Conference Finals, Ant can be Michael Jordan by making 1 WCF, but for Luka "if you want to prove something to me, win the NBA Finals"
