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

[dygaction]

This could end worse than Suns game 7..
Hobert is there either as the last straw or intended to be used as scapegoat with the highest +/-

[Astaluego]

Gober earning 45 million with that offensive game, it's not even funny

[blueberrysticky]

Wow, that Doncic floater. Super uncontested...

I think Luka was confused. He is like where is my blitz near halfcourt and me having to shoot some absurd shot or pass

[socal74]

Luka should have definitely passed that ball to the corner but he decided to embarass Gobert instead with the floater lol

[meh]

Being wobbly after getting up from a hit to the head doesn’t prove concussion if that’s what you’re assuming. They run these guys thru a battery of tests in situations like these. Teams aren’t risking anything when tens of millions are on the line. This isn’t the nfl when players are burned thru like cheap condoms.

Not saying you’re wrong but I don’t buy it

I'm a Dolphins fan and I called my own team out on the same BS they pulled when Tua was clearly concussed and they called it a 'back injury', only to see him get a second one the next game. It's about player safety.

I don’t think it makes sense to compare the nba to the nfl though. The nfl doesn’t care about player safety. Never has. Plus the nba doesn’t have formal concussion protocols. I find it hard to believe he was failing concussion tests

Love to know if they run through the same concussion tests as the NFL. I would doubt it.

Wolves should be investigated for this loss
It looks like they didn't try to win

[Bornstellar]

Embarrassing to go out like this on your home floor

[Kalela]

Before the playoffs started I responded in one of posts here and said the Mavericks will be better than what most people expect them to be but even I didn't see them going to the finals.

It was hilarious.

[SFour]

Wolves just happy not to be swept....this is still embarrassing though, at least put up a fight.

[Movics]

See ya Minny. Rot in piss.

It’s okay bud, your parents love you even if they never told you

[Zeno]

Wolves going out Suns style.

[Baz]

Luka took the souls of the Jazz and Suns franchises and could do the same here

[JustBuzzin]

bench press? impressive

Yep

Crazy thing I still don't know my max and I have been benching for a year. The more you can rep heavier weight the more you will build that max.

Not bragging but I think I can hit 300 at least once. I will try it tomorrow.

Not bad, how much do you weigh?

235 last I checked.

Benching is more about technique than your weight though. I have smaller dudes in my gym that bench more than me because they have the right technique. It takes a while for someone to find that right technique. I think I'm getting closer to mine, but I still feel I could be benching a lot more for my weight.

Made the Wolves cry "Uncle!" right out of halftime... Show some self-respect & pride for your fans, JfC...

[Jasen777]

Geez talk about a home court whooper

So weird. This could have happened in Game 4 but Mavs/Luka decided they wanted the close out game on the road.

Luka is so good he just woke up decided not to miss today.

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

For sure is and I don't mean it like it's an end of the world thing BUT the one thing that would kinda concern me is while time is on your side with Ant, it's not with Conley & Gobert.

The West will only be tougher & tougher as teams like LAL & PHX try to recoup, MEM will be back in the hunt, Luka will still be a supernova and then you'll have teams like HOU & SAS that are gonna start taking some games. I just wonder how they'll be able to keep pushing through all that competition.

But that's probably another year or two before it's a real concern, I just think at times it's made to sound like MIN is such a young team because it's best player is but some VERY key pieces are not spring chickens anymore...

For sure. Wolves have to make some smart moves in the coming seasons. But you have a 22 year old superstar, 27(?) Year old all-star, 24 year old 6th man of the year, and 23 year old all defense guy locked in. Great gm, and Rudy is only 31 and in incredible shape. He might decline but his instincts and size are part of what makes him so great.

It’s happened way too many times this series. It’s super obvious when he gets confused at the lack of the right coverage. I wonder if he ever gets bored with shredding defenses. Maybe that’s why he randomly jacks up 35 footers.

[PierceFan4ever]

You’re watching a team quit out there in the western conference finals at home. That’s insane

[SportsGuru08]

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.

Also, MJ's team went 30-52 in his year 22 season.

He missed 64 games due to injury and was on a minutes restriction when he came back.

But don't mention facts that are inconvenient to your narrative
