A few things are clear: 1. That first time-out Conley was forced to call is inexcusable and had me believing the game was lost, so wasn't surprised at the loss. 2. Naz Reid should just start at this point and Towns needs to step the f up! I would considering trading him if he doesn't. 3. Conley needs to be the man, Edwards is clearly not ready for the big moment. Tired or not, he's just not ready. 4. They need to change up the defensive coverages on some of those lobs and especially that defense on that Luka 3. I just knew it was going in, leaving Gobert to just defend him 1-on-1 was just not smart. 5. Mavs, driven by Kyrie, are better at this point, but the whistle has got to stop with Luka. My god at some of those fouls. And that last challenge should not have been successfull, even if they cannot take a foul into the equation. There was a foul that caused the ball to go off of the Twolves. They always take that into account when deciding who gets the ball out since they don't want to call a foul every single time. This was a key moment to reinforce that, but instead NOW they go by the book. Horrendous.
You were one of the main ones calling kyrie a headcase the last couple seasons. Glad to see he has changed your mind with his play. I tried to tell yall Kyrie the media was doing him wrong. Now they're sitting back giving him kudos. You love to see it Not only is Dallas experiencing its best sports ever, this is happening at a time when DFW in general is going through it's golden age as a metro area. A lot of things happening in DFW and a lot of people/companies/new businesses (see universal studios) going in. Residents there bragging big time right now. It's a great time to be from there
Dallas does not have a baseball team, and every attempt to steal the Rangers from Arlington has been futile.
Dallas Back court exposed the wolves big men lack of mobility when they are forced to guard them on pick and rolls. Would this affect us picking Donavan with the 3rd pick?
Ant lost the game. Horrible decision making he was not putting pressure on the defense, wasting time on the shot clock, and then turning the ball over. It was a disaster. He wants the praise when he plays well he needs to get 100% of the blame here. Screw Dallas. Mavs stars are both deep in the playoffs. Rangers won the WS. At least the cowboys are a joke
Anthony Edwards learned the Game from Patrick Beverley. Yell at his opponents until he gets whooped and makes excuses he is tired.
Anthony Edwards First Love is Football. You can see he is still Raw and he clearly needs Development, maybe add or trade for a Younger Point Guard that can Decision make, 3-point shooting, Defensive Quickness, Similar to a Young Jrue Holiday type. Mike Conley is getting outworked, outhustled by Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic. Wolves need a replacement for Mike Conley. Add more shooting.
ant looks inexperienced and emotionally unstable. the minnesotas should trade him for green + jabari + 2nds
We could trade jock and the number three for ant. Minny could then draft Clingan, they would be awesome.
I can't emphasize how much it pisses me off that after 15 years of Duncan and Dirk these f**kers ended up with Wemby and Doncic after a couple of bad seasons.
So basically, this year's Mavs are the 2018 Rockets and there's no unstoppable shooting Warriors around to battle them. The Twolves elite team defense and Gobert's help is irrelevant when the Mavs' backcourt is unstoppable 1on1 and great enough passers to throw the lob at the exact right time. The Twolves should consider more minutes with that jumbo lineup with Kyle/Jaden on the wing. It allowed them to neutralize the roller by either switching the PnR or blitzing and rotating another long player to the big. Offensively, the Twolves just can't win if KAT allows himself to be guarded by a 6'7 PJ Washington the whole game. Ironically, if/when the Twolves lose this series it will be because of their frontcourt KAT/Gobert while they were the reason for the win against Denver.
I agree, both of these games have been close and with Minny throwing away both games at that too. Minny just has to be sharper the final two minutes of games and they could get back in this.
