Bam has had plenty of garbage performances in the playoffs and teams leave him open cause he's not really a threat to beat you but again still way better than Gobert but vs inferior comp.

Wolves in finals vs Celtics is the nightmare scenario.

I don’t have ill will towards Mavs just bc Miami has split 2 finals appearances with them

Celtics winning is hell. Towns and Wolves winning before Jimmy is hell. Gobert beating the playoff fraud allegations would be annoying (I know you all saw that last play tho… Seems to have really stand out plays where he gets exploited like that stamping each of his playoff appearances. Does Bam have any of those????)

I dont see why we should have an issue with Towns, that was Jimmy’s beef. Im sure he’s probably hoping they lose. it wouldnt be the best look for him if both his wingmen went on to become vital players on championship winning teams in the tougher conference.

I’ll side with Jimmy over nostalgia of a player that has some Wade aesthetic

I think Edwards is in his own lane, super fun to watch as a basketball fan. No organizational beef with Minny at all, it’d be great to see them when it all but looks like I’ll have to settle for Dallas.

I’m shocked how many people were counting out Luka and Dallas vs this Minny squad coming into the series

I admittedly was but thankfully have been proven wrong. I forgot just how big having not 1 but 2 elite isolation perimeter players against Goberts fraudulent ass was. Get the switch you want (hunting the DPOY) clear it out and then cook that bum.

That Poku dude is faded too with the nonsense and goalpost moving he’s doing, THE JIG IS UP GOBERT!!!

Taking 5 1sts or Jalen Green and 3 1sts for Bridges when you had the chance seemed like a good start lol

The issue with Dallas is Luka's knee, how long it will hold up and Luka's already mentioned it won't get better until the offseason. Also, losing Kleber (and there's hope he can come back at some point), he'd give Dallas a defensive big who can shoot the 3 option which would help them be even more flexible how they play.

Watching Toppin miss a wide open cutter makes me sad.
