I don’t get how they call touch fouls on the perimeter on Edwards but not Luka

Mavs won't be able to beat Boston scoring 20 points in a quarter. FOH.

He pretty much gets fouled on every play.


Yeah he does. And the refs are letting it happen.

I want him to complain less, but I get how this is frustrating. Especially when the other star is getting more calls. 8FTs for Edwards in a quarter…

Mavs did a good job not allowing this lead to grow late. The Wolves are playing very well, attacking at all times and especially involving Anthony on all actions.

How many times is Edwards gonna screw up at the end of a quarter? This is like the 6th time in these playoffs.

So, did Gobert get played off the court again? Just curious.

I'm a little behind, but really not a fan of that Karl-Anthony Towns offensive foul call. Feels like is one of those "yeah, technically a foul, but it's Playoff basketball" sort of thing. Been a couple ticky tacks on both sides.

Including the infamous Wade foul calls back in that NBA Finals. LOL. These are not bad calls too, Ant is just attacking and taking advantage of the light(er) whistles so can't blame him for being very aggressive. Mavs have to make adjustments or this is going to be the theme the entire game.

Wolves should be up way more but the missed free throws are hurting them

Boston had a 40 point second half at home against a Miami Heat team missing Jimmy Butler. Relax.

Bad foul on Green, make him prove he has the body control to make a full speed layup in traffic, I don't think he could've done it

Boston can't play close to the level of defense Minny showed in that first quarter....with huge tolerance from the referees though, it has to be said.

How Celtics will defend Kyrie and Luka will be interesting to watch. I wish this was Ime's defense but it isn't. So that will make the series interesting.

Terrible pass by Anthony Edwards, can't have that to end the quarter.

Mavs shooting 28%
Wolves shooting 62%

It’s somehow only a 7 point game
