It’s the board being slow

I know. And I don't actually have dial up internet in 2024.

Can Mavs survive the drop from Lively/Gafford to Gafford/powell?

Mavs have built a wall in front of him pretty much any time he gets within 15 feet all series. His best hope of having a big game in this is making a lot of jumpers.

This guy wants to shoot threes instead of battle in the post like a big man

KAT is not strong enough to battle in the post against anyone that is mildly strong, and you only have so much room to make him a roll man when he's on the court with Rudy.

If Mavs start controlling their turnovers, this game will blow open in their favor


You do remember he did a better job than Gobert not getting backed down and BBQ chickened by Jokic, right?

Incredibly dumb foul by Daniel Gafford. Can't do that.

Gafford had a terrible second quarter. He's not the player Lively is.

Blitzing Doncic has worked a lot in this series but Minny doesn't seem to want to do it consistently.

i agree, they should get another wing player like paul george or someone in that niche. Mcdaniels can play the 4 too
