So he would've also come over with Gafford? Mavs would've been a fukking problem if that was the case.

Would be interested to see if Kuz and Luka's personalities would've meshed. He seemed to be willing to eat shyt when he played with Bron, but he's stuck his chest out more since then

"Gotta just keep shooting them" - Karl Anthony Towns

Karl Anthony Towns is a 7 foot shooting guard. Embarrassing

They wouldn't be on the verge of the Finals if that bozo Kuzma was on the team.

Why not post up Kat more?

If Lively is hurt, this is the way for Minnesota to get back into the series. Just go crazy down low against Gafford and Washington, tire them out and get them into foul trouble. Dallas doesn't have good backup options at all if they don't have Lively.

They should get the calls in Game 4, especially considering the NBA wants to extend the series and not have a huge break. Then Game 5 at home. If the Timberwolves win a couple and get their confidence up, and are going into Game 6 with Lively still out and the Mavs struggling to defend inside, it could get spooky.

the Mavs are so winning the whole thing, i feel sorry for anyone who thinks Tatum and Brown are going to out best Kyrie and Luka even with Porzingas

*hammers mavs finals winners*

Dumbass towns fouled him too

 

[No Ma’am]

Saying this about the Mav’s while playing for the Wizards is wild.

 

[StatUS]

I had Mavs in 7 but damn

I guess, but multiple teams could have beaten that trade if they weren't p*ssy

Definitely but people need to remember Kyrie was viewed as a toxic asset at the time and also he was technically a rental
So any team trading for him was only guaranteed half a season
Dallas didn't even make the play in last year with Kyrie and Luka
It's not just the Kyrie move, it was the Lively pick and pivoting off of Grant Williams once they realized he sucks and getting PJ Washington as well as getting Gafford so Dwight Powell never needed to see the floor again

Not happening when Towns lying about shooting 1500 shots a day making excuses rather than saying I gotta play better. Further, he avoids post game interviews with his teammates when they lose but is all happy sitting next to ANT when they win. There is a reason why Jimmy Butler couldn't stand him and we've seen it for 3 games in a row now.
