This is one factor that definitely concerns me.

Someone said in the last two days that Luka complains to the refs more at home but on the road he focuses his attention more on the opposing team and the fans. Definite European energy there, imo.

Wolves coach is ready to pull out every adjustment tonight

He believes Kidd ain’t ready for what’s coming

He’s not good enough to have a legacy man. That only applies to tier 1 players

Disrespect to KAT... This was in 2016 when LeBron and KD were in their absolute peaks.

Things have changed after 8 years...lol

Have you seen Apollo 11 with Tom Hanks? There's a scene when Kevin Bacon accidentally churns the oxygen tanks and that's what results in the vessel becoming inoperable.

Repeat of that tonight for Dallas...

Lively has been the reason why Wolves went down 3-0; they were unable to defeat Mavs with him in the lineup.

I think we get our first blowout tonight. Either Luka having one of those performances to silence the crowd or the wolves just destroying them defensively.

Need another basketball game so let’s go Wolves.

Sounds like Conley's questionable status is closer to like when he missed against Denver....TBD

Ant being that high is a major positive in his development. Had 9 assists in the second half on Tuesday.

Feels like Minny should win this.

But you never know Luka or Kyrie could explode. Should be a fun game tonight.

Thank goodness!

3-3 in regular season without him (losses to San Antonio, Charlotte)
0-1 in postseason

That memory of him laughing at the suns fans while hitting a spinning stepback 3 in that game 7 was unforgettable. Dude wants to laugh at your team and fans.

He used to complain about Rudy's too, calm down

Who wins Game 5?
