2024 NBA Playoffs: Western Conference Finals: #3 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL leads 3-1)

Why don't they attack Luka? Uhh because McDaniels isn't a shot creator

Exactly! Who do they expect to take on Luka

Also when they do try to involve him by having his man set a pick, they just switch. Benefit of playing with good defenders, his boys got his back

[stepic]

Wolves just fouling badly, it’s no fix lol

[Chuck Everett]

Naz Reid on milk carton status this game. Mavs locking his ass up. PJ Washington just embracing defending everyone they sic him on.

[Nate505]

I swear, the Wolves just don't seem to have whatever mental fortitude it takes to keep a lead in this series.

Did I mishear or did Reggie just call Jason Kidd a championship coach?

Technically he's a championship assistant coach lol.

[SerialChiller]

It's still hard to believe this Wolves team beat Denver lol

Some of the calls Luka gets are really ridiculous.

These calls are bad - towns drives hit no call - edwards drives no call- Luka litterally hits edwards and no call-

It’s time for the finals per the refs

Did I mishear or did Reggie just call Jason Kidd a championship coach?

I'll never forget Avery Johnson's short stint as the Mavs head coach. He sat the newly acquired Kidd in the last few seconds of a close regular season game and they lost. Dallas never forgave Avery for it.

I keep forgetting Kyrie lost his Nike shoe deal. His shoes were one of the top sellers for Nike basketball players. Dude fumbled the bag.

He could always get it back. But I have been noticing that more stars are not sticking with Nike anymore indefinitely especially if they’re not the absolute biggest ones like Lebron, KD, Giannis, and now Wemby

[ImSlower]

I don't gamble, but if there were a prop bet right now for "Dallas wins by 20 or more tonight" I might take that.

[rapstarter]

The refs are done with minny - the fix in

Looks like Minny is done with Minny. Other than Conley, these guys don't even complain and just hang their heads like they don't want to be there.

It's still hard to believe this Wolves team beat Denver lol

Denver was trailing like 150 mins of the series against La and they have one of the worst benches in the league after losing Brown and Jeff. They were a much worse team this season relying on Christian Braun, ancient Reggie Jackson and Jrues lil bro as their 6-8 rotation lol

I am telling you guys, this Wolves team's playoff focus seemed to have been Denver more than winning a championship. They haven't been the same since beating Denver. They played their best ball against Denver. Just haven't seen them play well since. I give you Ant and KAT's precipitous drop in performance in the series as proof.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Luka is looking like Shaq how much foul trouble he's causing these Wolves

[turnaroundJ]

we are always entranced by what "could be" rather than what is. this choice definitely made sense at the time, but unfortunately he didn't develop into a superstar. probably due to a mix of internal and external (the org) factors

KAT over Lebron lmaoooo

Probably the lineup with the best decision making for Minnesota and it is forced by foul trouble
