Defensively they match up well, but offensively BOS is still a 3pt chucking team with no floor general

Mavs taking turns on Gobert. 4x DPOY though lol.

Doncic and Irving have been an incredible duo. I’ll be rooting for them in the Finals.

I thought he turned the corner after the Wolves swept us but it turns out he just shrank as the stakes got higher.

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

No I mean as far as playing off each other so seamlessly. Not saying they're better players. Smh

not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4...

They have to run away with the games. If it's close, Mavs won't lose to them.

I agree Rudy is killing the Wolves and should be sitting this series but today's senile Kerr would have lost the last series by having a 6-5 guard Joker so there's that

That's not a serious comment. Kerr changed the NBA with his use of personnel and he would kill it with this Minny roster just coaching them to play them the way he's comfortable with. This roster is great for what he likes to do.

Kerr / Warriors need to accept that you can't win vs rosters today with your tallest player being 6-8.

I agree with you there. But eff KAT, he's terrible no matter how tall he is.

Different vibe, different attitude, different roster. Good chemistry with Luka, quality roleplayers. And no real controversy out of Kyrie so far.

It's nice to see him finding his space and thriving.

Well done Mavericks!

I hope Lively is ok & will come back soon & we need Kleber back too!

Let's go Mavs!

Not even just closing. Ant has been horrible all series aside from this 3rd quarter.

Kats arguably been the worst player of the series among those getting significant minutes

As I said... It doesn't matter how good the Wolves defense is when they cant score against competent defense.

And there it is.

17th in O-Rating. 27th in clutch net rating. Same flaws that we saw in the regular season. Not a good half court offense.

Face of the NBA bout to be swept by a fifth seed.

so the sixers were basically iverson surrounded by role players.

this is like that but with 2 of them lol.

Slow down, KAT is a big reason why they are even here.

Luka told Ant -

Do you know your stepbrother Devin Booker?

Who wins and goes to the NBA Finals?
