Mavs leading in 1st quarter? Wolves are done. This might be a sweep.

To think that Luka had to play with Dwight Powell at center for 5 years. Yikes.

This blitz is too easy for Luka. Wolves need to mix up their coverages

Yeah Luka and Lebron too big in the post but on the perimeter?

If edwards scared to go at Luka on either end then edwards isn’t that guy.

Luka is like the warrior guards of old- like mj and Kobe on offense - if you try to guard me I want to exploit and destroy you

Towns is afraid to take contact when shooting.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.
