He is most of all a far better passer and much more clutch.

Honestly one of the most disappointing series ever.

Everyone thought it would be a close 6 or 7 games. This **** is just embarrassing.

Looks like the NBA media have their content to hold them over for the next week.

Should’ve targeted him more. We’re in the playoffs

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

Some things just don't make sense in basketball (or all of sports).


Luka being a cold blood psychopath who doesn’t just want to win the series but also embarrass the opponent on their home court will explain everything.


Yes. This is a definition of a killer mentality. He sort of wanted it in Game 4 but Wolves' defense and scheme was just better. Glad to see him be even more aggressive immediately the next opportunity.

Have not decided yet on who to pick between the Celtics and Mavericks in the NBA FInals but this Luka performance, maybe it's the sign i've been waiting for...

The piped in howling wolf is kind of sad when the crowd has gone silent and you are down 30.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Just for the record: The Wolves were the #1 defense in the regular season. They're getting boatraced in this game.

Fine, they went 40-42 in his age 23 season when he played 82 games. Point still stands. To say ANT isn't MJ because he lost in the WCF at age 22 is just dumb.

Edwards didn't have Woolridge or Oakley as his No. 2 option.
