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

Also, disappointing that Luka only has 25 after scoring 20 in the opening quarter.

i wanted to see a 60+ point playoff game from the Slovenian. LOL

As a neutral observer, the only thing that's shameful is the Mavericks handling of this young man's life and career. He was obviously concussed last time, and likely got another one today. Two concussions so close together very no bueno. An NFL team would even be ripped for this. Dis cuss ting.

Let me guess, you're a Minny fan / Dallas hater who is crying over having to face again one of Minny's main tormentors in the first 3 games...

I literally just said I'm a neutral observer lol. And I'll def be rooting for the Mavs against Boston, so there goes that theory of yours.

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

The Denver come back was 20. This is almost 30 and you have the Luka and Kyrie angry about game 3

Luka is cold blooded. If Dallas loses this game it will be because Luka dies. He hates Gobert as much as he hates Booker. He would never take a comeback like that from either of them.

They had him on the bench in game 4. Even if they were covering up a concussion, why would they put him in a room full of light and loud noises when he’s not in the lineup?

Could it be a mis-diagnosis? Sure, anything can be mis-diagnosed. But I have a hard time believing in a conspiracy here given how it’s played out.

You can’t use logic or intelligence on this people.

Lol ok. How about a neuroscientist?

Seeing Luka light it up in the playoffs while cussing out a bunch of Massholes is going to be A+ entertainment.

[aguiar95]

No joke, DAL is shooting here at halftime and all are going in dog

[knicksNOTslick]

We were robbed of a Luka vs Jokic matchup for this garbage showing from the Wolves

[CelticSooner]

Would love to see a competitive response in the 2nd half but I think Dallas comes out in the first 4 minutes and steps on their throat.

What? lol Minnesota quit after the 1st quarter.

High double after that 20 point explosion is gonna prevent that

[rockmanslim]

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

[MavsDirk41]

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.

Edwards absolute peak would probably be something like Wade which would be incredible.

Cause mike only played 18 games

Come on man.

Also.

Ant has:
Teammate of the year
Dpoy
6moty
And another allstar on the roster.
And if memory serves correct, runner up coty.

Minny was built to stop denver and got overhyped for that

[BrianInPhilly]

I'll be honest I didn't watch much of the T'Wolves during the season - what exactly is their strategy/philosophy offensively? They seem to have no plan or purpose to anything they do. Meanwhile Dallas knows exactly what they're doing - typically pick & roll and everyone in right spots .. Minny / Edwards / Towns just start dribbling without any plan to my eyes. Maybe it's just tonight

My night gym sessions are about to go cray cray!

I'm back repping 225 3×10

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.

i likewise don’t know my max lol, i usually work out alone and don’t like asking others to spot so i play it safe. i rep out a solid 5 or 6 on 195 with relatives ease.. afraid to go too far over that tho lol

[snowman]

Minny needs to break this whole team and coaching staff up. Gobert sucks, KAT has low BBIQ, Edwards wants to go 1 on 4 all the time, and Minny's coaching staff is clueless. Perfect example of winning games because of extremely talented players but can't take the pressure.

Not this again. It's almost like "team" matters.

Which is why it's dumb lay this all on ANT.

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.
