Okay nice response from the Wolves after that Mavs rally. Dallas has to keep this close, i say it again, this Wolves is too good to collapse again this game after suffering those the first three games.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Meh, I’m not really a Chris Rock fan so I have no problem watching his movies. I do have a problem with someone literally assaulting a man on live television and then still getting a damn Oscar an hour later but what can you do.

He grades out as a mediocre post-up player (better than most expect), but definitely not someone you dump it down to with four seconds left in the shot clock (at least without alerting him to rush up a shot).

NO! Have you been watching this series? He's got the post moves of a junior varsity athlete.

He got thrown a grenade. I didn't even realize it was less than 3 seconds on the shot clock.

I feel like Minnesota shaves off points from their Ortg, by not trusting Gobert, particularly Edwards. His screen and rolls are only for scores/resets. Conley and Towns trusts him even through all the awkwardness

Terrible foul by Towns. Dude needs to never go for offensive rebounds, terrible discipline.

KAT is playing to his usual crappy standard.

It's like the man blew his load in Denver series and got nothing left.

Cause the practices in the NBA during the season are a joke compared to Europe....anyway, do you who his father is...Google Saša Dončić,watch some clips on YouTube, and you'll see he has his father's build....and his da was built like a tank
