It’s all about matchups. Mavs were a bad matchup for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves were the perfect counter to Denver.
As would have been Dallas if you actually think about it.

Won’t be as good as this one , Mavs will sweep Celtics and won’t be close games
Don’t you dare disappear if the Celtics win the chip

Terrible take

If KAT hits some of those 3s, it's a different game. He went 0-8. He hasn't shown up all series.
They dominated the paint once Lively went out.
If he didn't get concussed, probably that this game would have been a blowout for Mavs.

Poor kid, still only 22, but he has no help and the media trying to anoint him too early. He's taking his lumps. He'll be okay. Towns isn't it though.
No help?
Ants been garbage this whole series aside from the 3rd quarter here. Ancient Conley has been the best Timberwolf. Rudys played okay. Slomo and Naz have prolly been their 2nd and 3rd best players. Jaden playing well. Only Kat has played worse than Ant for Minnesota

I'm talking about help as legit stars playing next to him. Kind of thought that was obvious, guess not.

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 really don't see how.
Dallas with lively and Gafford are at least as intimidating inside as Minny and Denver have even less quality than Minny in term of perimeters defenders who can annoy Luka and Kyrie.
If you watched the last game between Dallas and Denver, you saw Dallas beating Denver despite a terrible shooting night but taking nothing less than 20 more rebounds than Denver (Joker even said after the game that Denver were a small ball team comparing to Dallas)
Jokic would have Lively and Gafford in foul trouble by the 3rd quarter. Luka and Lydia would have to Guard MPJ, Murray & KCP thru screens and spot up 3's
PJ Washington and Luka would struggle with Gordon in the dunker position

It's a horrible take, they have a great roster.

Feel free to explain us why he would have them in foul trouble by 3rd quarter more than guys like Rudy or Reid?
