Can't wait to hear the Minnesota balloons to pop.... McDaniels says he's the best defender in the NBA and Edwards is close behind. I think Luka will have McDaniels in constant foul trouble as he can go through McDaniels when ever he wants. Kyrie will have a lot better series against Minn than OKC. OKC was a small team compared to Minn. and doubled with smaller faster guys than the longer Minn team can.
DLive and Gaff will keep Gobert from cheating on defense if Rudy tries to dbl on Luka and Kyrie drives. Gobert hasn't had to guard any dunkers yet ,now he'll see 2 Centers looking for highlite dunks ALL GAME.
I think Dallas can shock tonight ....

Just keep calm and wait until the series is over. And we all know, per tradition, game 1 means a huge loss for Mavs anyway

Does the backfire and look foolish argument only apply to Mavs fans or does it also apply to Wolves fans who are actually doing the bragging? I've never even predicted a Mavs series win, I said it could go either way.

Applies to everyone. If Mavs win, Wolves fans will be underfire probably, specially if they talked way too much ****. Look what happened in OKC series. Fans on their reddit even made topic to complement Mavs players but before that they couldn't bragg enough how they're going to win lol...

If Wolves win, what else can we do other than to congratulate them? We know Mavs are underdogs and i like that. They're flying under the radar.

The panel doesn't even know who the #1 seed were.

Won't happen but, would you complain if O-Max took THJ's minutes? I wouldn't, can't be worse.

Barkley just changed his pick from Minnesota to Dallas.

1 voter didn't have Luka as ALL NBA 1st team. He got 98 out of 99 votes.

We definitely have the worst bench of any team left, by far.

I don't know what you guys think so far.

1. The wolves are beatable.
2. I like Mavs chance against them.

DorianRo · Post #94 » by **DorianRo** » Thu May 23, 2024 1:32 am

Letting McDaniels put up MJ Halftime numbers ain't gonna get it done. Edwards doesn't even have to be a superstar like he wasn't against Denver in Game 7

Are we trying to make Jaden beat us instead of their stars? :nod:

BliscoSantos · Post #96 » by **BliscoSantos** » Thu May 23, 2024 1:34 am

Knowing Mavs could have drafted McDaniels but choose Green instead is a very big blunder by the scouting department and the FO :banghead:

What a half by Kyrie, Wolves are shooting lights out, but they are getting good shots TBH, Lula needs to be better defesnively.

Archx · Post #98 » by **Archx** » Thu May 23, 2024 1:38 am

If Mavs could only stop superstars like Kyle Anderson and McDaniels. Would be awesome.

Maverick41 · Post #99 » by **Maverick41** » Thu May 23, 2024 1:44 am

I feel pretty good about that half. Kyrie was awesome, Luka was relatively meh and the rest of the team mostly couldn't shoot to save their lives. On the other hand MIN was scorching from 3 and are only up by 3.

ChipotleWest · Post #100 » by **ChipotleWest** » Thu May 23, 2024 1:48 am

Mavs build a wall around the lane and say "beat us from 3" OKC couldn't do it, Minn is doing it so far but have as many 3s (11) as 2s (11). That's probably not sustainable, but if it is you tip your hat to them. I like the strategy.
