Not that I think Minnesota is going to win this series, but now they believe they can.

Towns was the hero with those 3 straight 3’s in the 4th but all we will hear is how Edwards carried and willed them lol.

Same reason the Celtics game thread was filled with Mavericks fans and dumb takes?


Same reason every fanbase who hates the Celtics flood Celtics thread saying they’re frauds and any team in the west will beat them?

If there was ever a 3-0 comeback, it has to be this one, right? Luka is already injured and limited, they lost Lively in game 3 who was their best on/off player, and all games have come down to the last minute.


Idk the exact numbers off the top of my head, but it seems like Minnesota has held the lead for about 70% of this series…. While being down 3-1



Eh it’s not uncommon. The nuggets did that to the lakers last year and this year.

Never seen a game where the refs tried to give a game to a team. Every point Mavs had in the 4th was off bad ref calls

I switched over when regulation of the NHL game ended. There were 4 mins left in this game. By the time the NBA game was final the NHL game was past the intermission and 1 min into OT. Game ended 12 seconds later :lol:

Hope lively is available next game. His minutes helps keep it tough for for the Wolves on both sides.

If not, Kyrie and Luka just need to show up next game so they can get some rest.

it's annoying, but I guess you just always have to play it out 100%. Leave no grey areas at all, because then, where do you draw the line? Kind of glad they do this to be honest

They’re scared of these teams, gotta compensate somehow. One ring since the Cold War and that’s not going to change

I say that after every game, and nothing changes.


it won't change because NBA rewards the worst refs in the league with the biggest games....Ed Malloy, Scott Foster, Tony Brothers, Marc Davis, etc

Ant sounds like they cared more about the sweep than coming back and winning this series. Will be interesting to see if they maintain this level of hunger.
