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

[Klomp]

Well that sucked. Oh well. We still have Ant and 29 other teams wish they had him. Best of luck to Texas Chuck, I guess.

[Doranku]

Against the #1 defense in the league in a gentleman's sweep:

Luka: 32/10/8 on 47/43/85
Kyrie: 27/4/5 on 49/38/81

Its genuinely perfect that its Boston-Dallas

Dude made a bad mistake calling out Kyrie AKA the ankletaker.

Did anyone even watch what Ant said after the Denver series? He didn't call out Kyrie. He just said that's his matchup and he's excited for it. People have to twist everything.

Thanks mate. I'm gonna need Bisme to bring his A game to match your work in these threads. I need a worthy (and friendly) adversary.

Minny has nothing to be ashamed of and the future is still bright. Only real concern is how much longer can Conley do this, but that should be more than off-set by Edwards getting to another level.

Just unbelievable offensive execution and shot-making by Luka and Ky. Sometimes your team doesn't lose, you simply get beat by really good players.

Makes for clicks. Makes for responses. Regardless of how we get there... that's the goal nowadays.

Yeah... what did he say?

Just saw a few comments on ESPN's Van Pelt show... and there was nothing salty in them.

Assume there was something else...

A couple answers in the beginning are mediocre (particularly around what went wrong), but I'm super confused about people being up in arms about this press conference. These answers seem mostly fine?

It's the combo of him leaving the court without congratulating the better team, again, and his yapping throughout the series while losing.

Keeping it real, with the posts I've seen throughout the series, I lowkey kinda just think you are trying to hate.

It's wild, because I am known as the resident curmudgeon of the Minnesota board towards Anthony Edwards. It legitimately takes a lot of effort to get me to hyper defend him, but people have been kind of wild throughout this series.

Nah I keep it real, I like Ant well enough. The press conference was a nothing burger, but with "scoreboard" and "I don't see how they can beat us" and playing like poo for long stretches, and leaving another playoff series without saying anything to the opponent(other than scoreboard), and the chair throw(which was another nothing burger), and trying to push his gf down the stairs(IS JOKES) there's a long list of things for haters to cling to.

Not lowkey totally hate: Gobert. Dude is a huge POS person.

BUT he's a total scapegoat for Minny's shortcomings. Legit he's a dirty player and legit he's a very good player who gets too much blame because he's a huge POS. I like Conley, who doesn't? I don't like Slo Mo flopping but everyone flops. I love KAT. **** all the KAT haters. Have you seen how he treats people? Dude is a gem. Who hates McDaniels or Reid or NAW?

The beer has kicked in, AMA.

"My matchup [is] going to be Kyrie," Edwards said. "So that's going to be fun. We're going to see what I can do versus him."

Get your ass kicked, is the answer.

And that's why you just have to shut up sometimes because you don't know if an "innocent" comment can be turned into bulletin board material (at least for Kyrie) and into something out of nothing by the media/publc (social media era). So lesson learned Ant; shut up and play.
