Wolves stole the momentum after the Lively injury but they simply cannot win a close game against the Mavs.

Trade Towns. Conley is not getting any younger and Reid has been better these playoffs.

You mean when they went to 3 straight finals winning two - the hyperbol is insane

I knew the Mavs would win when Gobert was reinserted into the game

Game 1: Mavs like crap from downtown
Game 2: Nazr „Ray Allen“ Reid and a meh Irving
Game 3: Basically no Lively (with Kleber already out too)

Mavs are just better is the answer

What does this say about Denver if Dallas sweeps the Wolves?

At the end of the day the series came down to the stars showing up. Luka and Kyrie have delivered and Kat and Ant have not. Really that simple. Minnesota coaching has also been absolutely terrible, just allowing those 2 to continuously tear you apart, no trap, no blitz. Stupid

The coaching staff is saying all the timeouts for next game. It's a great season. Let's see what Connelly cooks up trades this summer. I hope we keep the core and give it one more run.

Credit to Luka Doncic beating the heliocentric criticisms by playing clutch defense
