Manifest Destiny: Claiming the West Starts with Taming the Wolves! Official Mavs (#5) vs. Timberwolves (#3) WCF Thread

[daboywonder2002]

We got 2 all nba team defenders and they not playing like it. Edwards second team all nba not playing like it. On top of that you only get one day off to make any type of adjustments. I wouldn't even practice. Nothing but film sessions to show the defensive breakdowns and to show Ant shots he's passing up.

 

[Samori Toure]

Yeah and Kai was basically tackled by Ant a play before that and there was no call either

That KAT put back was goal tending. The ball was clearly still in the cylinder
But the reality is if it comes down to a play deciding if you win or lose, you didn't play well enuff anyway
Both Mavs and Wolves. Mavs can't make jumpshots for shyt right now

That play has already been explained thoroughly. The rules as it right now couldn't give Minnesota the ball back even though the player was fouled.

The rules committee will need to change that in the off season

​

If the calls were bad against both teams at critical times in the game then you guys would have a point, however in these first two games those bad missed calls have only been made to the detriment of Minnesota. This shyt looks fixed.​

Do you think this was the right call by the refs on the Karl-Anthony Towns non-basket?

Both teams are yelling at the refs all game. Pendulum is right in the middle.

Make your FTs at an 85 percent clip and you'll win your games.

This was correctly overturned by replay. It was basket interference.

Man I'm not sure how to do it directly. But you could use imgur.com then post links to the pics from there.

Jason Kidds coaching is insane, wolves look shaky

 

[GoldenGlove]

Picking up his dribble, going into that pivot purorette, then throwing the ball out of bounds hoping for Reid to bail him out… no words.

That’s a lowlight for the ages.

Coby White would never do no shyt like that man

@Gil Scott-Heroin mad as fukk right now

Rudy got Wemby's DPOY trophy so im here for all the slander

Spurs before they had Wemby in the 2022-2023 season: 22-60 record
Spurs in Wemby's rookie season 2023-2024: 22-60 record

 

[GoldenGlove]

Luka has his share of blame in this, don't you worry.

I just don't think Kidd is the right coach for him and this team. Cuban is gonna end up regretting this hiring like he did letting Nash go, all those years ago. It's only been a handful of games, and there's no structure and purpose to how they play. At least under Carlisle they knew who they were. And while I didn't expect them to have everything worked out this early in the piece, it's not like Kidd has implemented some complex system for them to learn; it's a essentially a dumbed-down version of what was before, except it seems he somewhat abandoned his original offense which had a number of post actions, that just simply didn't work.

Luka needs a coach that can strip back his game, wean him off his bad habits, and rebuild him. I don't wanna see him going down the same path that Westbrook has, where he's never held accountable for his play and eventually those bad habits consume his entire game; turning him into a caricature of his self.

How the hell Kidd and Rivers continue to get jobs, only a white man would now.

And nikka?

It aint Wemby's fault Pop wanted to play Jeremy Sochan at PG for half the season

 

[daboywonder2002]

Is anyone going to game 3? Listen this is for anyone going to game three in Dallas. At halftime and at the end of the game go to the section where inside the NBA is hosting. In our Stadium it was like section 121 we walked over there at halftime and at the end of the game saw Draymond up close Charles, Shaq. I even saw Kyrie he was coming up the steps to do his postgame interview he was coming up so fast though so the pic I got is like super close

Yea, but they shoulda got it right the first time. It was such an obvious foul. I think the refs wanted to “let them play” and was content to just let Minny get the ball, but Dallas pulled the trump card with the challenge.

That rule needs to be changed ASAP.
