I think you just have to play Luka tight. If they make tough twos so be it. You can’t give up the 3. Each 3 is like a 10 pointer and just sucks the energy out of you.

Irregardless how this season ends, Edwards developing his post-game is how he becomes unstoppable as it opens up cutting and passing lanes and it's impossible to double in the post.

Expect that to be what he works on this off-season, especially around team USA.

It's also a great way to get him the ball in a prime spot without him having to expend energy to get there.

Dallas is really disciplined off ball sitting back playing the pass, this could be a problem later on in the game if the Wolves aren't consistently getting rim pressure for shots/playmaking.

They got a lot of role guys who can score.

Yup. And he is ahead of curve in developing the post-game, but that's the next step in his development.

I’ll never understand giving it to Rudy at the end of the shot clock. I’d rather Towns just shoot that 3

I feel like Minnesota's offense really started to crater once Anthony Edwards got baited into hero ball. Rudy is open under the basket a ton, they need to find that pass.

We are cooked with this current offense, the Mavericks are executing so much better. We don't have any spots to go to outside of some Ant drives and Conley threes. No direction and then on top of that we are making a ton of mistakes and turnovers.
