2024 NBA Playoffs: Western Conference Finals: #3 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-1)

Is Jaden McDaniels hurt? Why has he only played 6 minutes?

[Yuri36]

C'mon Luka you coulda gotten a better shot then that at the end. Half court heat check like that is just a bad shot.

He's a killer.
Not even afraid of taking stupid shots.

If that went it would have been backbreaking gameover. Wolves would have surrendered at the half.

Yep that was exactly the reason he took that ridiculous shot.

[r0drig0lac]

If Gobert committed that foul Draymond would have ran on the court and choked him out. Nobody touched Reid lol

they know who they can pretend to be tough guys with.

To not win a single home game after not making the western conference finals in 20 years is brutal

Agreed Luka is playing chess

[BrianInPhilly]

Swinging the ball to Kyle Anderson w/ 1 on the shot clock knowing his shooting motion takes 2 seconds is 1 of the most embarrasing things I've seen in a while

[tsherkin]

Wolves and Antboy embarrassing themselves at home lol.
MJ my ass hahaha. More like DeAndre Jordan’s son. Keep yalking and being cocky in interviews.

To be fair to Edwards its the media making the Jordan comparisons, not him.

Yeah, I mean, at least his interviews aren't boring, man. Gotta have some confidence, have a little personality, etc. Sometimes, it doesn't go well. *shrug*

early 3 fouls

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

Gave 'em false hope last time. Now destroying them in their home right in front of paying fans even before the half is over.

[Marvin Martian]

Have to feel bad for the Timberwolves. Such a likeable team.

And how great for the NBA would it have been if a differently built team would have actually won something and changed the meta.

It wouldn't mean anything unless MIN turned into a dynasty. The reason why the NBA went small is because Curry won 4 rings. If he won just one, no one would change up their philosophy.

[DaGawd]

Oh well we gotta wait a week for the finals.

My night gym sessions are about to go cray cray!

I'm back repping 225 3×10

bench press? impressive

[BliscoSantos]

Laker fans would probably be booing already

That's why they are the worst....Just a bunch of bandwagon fans (celebrities) that show up when the team is good

There's levels to booing though. This effort, you'd want to motivate your own team and perhaps turning against them (for a while) can work. Maybe not, but you are desperate so you try it and well, you boo the effort and not the team.

Your effort has been lacking in a do-or-die setting and that's embarrassing.

Yeah,but I don't think booing would do it for this Minnesota team....maybe for Edwards but I feel like KAT would Just hanbg his head low,give up...KAT is talented but he Just doesn't have that dog in him,it seems he's satisfied with his development...if he was anything like Ant,this team would be dangerous

I’m actually excited to see BOS/DAL.

Will Kyrie be able to tune out the noise in BOS? Will Tatum be able to keep up with Luka?!? Will BOS’ defence wear down the Mavs??

I thought both Luka & Tatum were another year or two away from a ring as Jok, Giannis and lesser extent Embiid battle it out but the future is now. Tatum can really change the narrative if he beats Luka in the Finals as long as he plays like the obvious best player on the Cs.

I genuinely would like to see Tatum raise his game in the Finals and battle it out with Luka. The NBA needs it to help league carry on after the Big 3 (LBJ, KD & Steph) retire in the very near future.

[Domz]

You would think the Mavs were down 3-1 with the way they're playing. Night and day difference between the urgency of both teams.

[moss_is_1]

Good learning experience for the Wolves. I believe only Conley had made the WCF before? (Possibly Anderson or Monte Morris).

[BeiBeau]

Luka doesn’t play like MJ. But he’s taking on the mantle of cold blooded killer better then anyone since Kobe.

[Loaded_Hollows]

Wolves can come back. It’s not over

[snowman]

Minny has given up. All they wanted was to not get swept.

Dallas put him in foul trouble right away.
