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

Luka can "dress them down". They have the best player in the series. Everything else is a tossup, especially with Porzingis' status in question.

5 steals for Luka "no defense" Doncic

Amazing how clutch Mavs and how unclutch Wolves are

The battle of Grant Williams' last two teams. Both became title contenders once they dropped him :lol:

I don't know how it happened, but Luka and Kyrie are somehow my favorite NBA duo. Just amazing. What a treat this game was.

I feel bad for Minny fans, because they don't get to enjoy what the rest of us are seeing right now.

Lmao what was Doncic saying to Edwards

Who proclaimed Edwards the face of the league?

How you 7"0 jacking up threes and can't have a reliable post game?

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

Nobody on Boston can close a game the way Luka and Kyrie can, so yeah they've got to blow out the Mavs every time. All I'll say is: good luck with that.

That matchups matter!

If Lakers played the Thunder in the 1st round
They would've beat them & went 7 games with Mavs

If Mavs played Denver 1st round they might've lost to the Nuggets in 6-7 Games

I knew plenty of talking heads who said Luka and Kyrie wouldn’t work together. That doesn’t seem to be the case.

Boston vs Dallas will be fun!

These playoffs have lowkey been trash outside of like 1-2 series. Bunch of sweeps and blowouts.

There’s been nothing trash about this year’s playoffs.

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.

More like he has been regulated to being a second option bus rider like in CLE

Whenever he was asked to lead a franchise, he has been an absolute disaster

The Gafford signing was a genius move by the Mavs.

You also draft Lively and the Mavs finally addressed their lack of a big man proving that to win you really need talented bigs even if they aren't star players.

Try and get a all-star level PG next to Ant

That'll be hard. They can get Giddey.

Losing Lively worries me a lot. This could get rough for them if he's out extended time.

Who wins and goes to the NBA Finals?
