It’s more or less the same quandary as playing the Nugs. Do you play straight up on Doncic and prevent others from going off or do you show help and collapse in the paint, leading to those 3s…

We gonna see the same thing when they play Boston. I think Brown is strong, but idk if he has the height for Doncic. You probably don’t want Tatum as the primary for Doncic all game, but that may be their best option physically. And they damn sure don’t have the quality of bigs for help defense that Minnesota does
You don't give up 3s period. It's that simple. If he scores a 2...ok then fine

3s instantly give the team momentum surges

It's simple basketball that these idiot coaches can't understand. You don't collapse

Fellas, question

Why did Minnesota finally listen to the coli’s consultation in the first quarter (posting up Edwards, going up 10)…

…but then go away from that in the 2nd quarter (back to 23 ft isos, 10 point lead lost)?
fatigue and pace. most NBA teams panic when they lose their lead and regress back to jump shooting as post ups eat up too much game clock.
