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

[Copy Ninja]

They’ve been like that the whole series. Bringing Draymond on for specifically this series is an a$$hole move.

Also them 3 pt fouls in the last minute….basura. First should’ve been a tech on Luka according to the fukking rules. I mean they used a clip of Luka doing that fukk shyt in their tweet explaining the rule change. Second is obvious no contact. Why do they constantly reward these fukk nikkas that cry and complain CONSTANTLY. Luka and Embiid get every call but complain more than anyone. How does that make sense

I was listening to Dallas sports talk on the way to work this morning and the hosts were talking about how hard it is to root for Luka because of all the crying he does to the refs. They said it's exhausting rooting for him

His own fukking people can't stand the antics on the court.

Damn nobody from the wolves came to chat with the crew

I wanted to see something go down

The Wolves probably boycotting it because of the way the crew been shytting on their players…Rudy, Kat…even Ant been getting it.

McDaniels has completely disappeared this series. He was huge in the Nuggets series.

Wrong. His highest point game of the playoffs is this series in game 1 where he hit 6 threes. Also has a 15 point game and a 10 point game while playing pressure defense the entire time he's in the game.

says the guy sticking up for an anti-semite

That's what this Kyrie assault been about the whole time ?!
:laff

Mannnn I thought this was just some 'going at all of #30's peers' type shyt
But it's about some, probably, real shyt Ky said bout them fake ass Jews?

Man fukk them. But even to that point of antisemitism, that's not the same as being anti Jew, per se. Jacob(Israel) wasn't the only descendant of Shem.....but when you misappropriate, you misrepresent. The curtain will be revealed on them frauds at some point but this crusade here, for this reason, is unjustified. fukk. Them.

One game at a time, I think they can legit force a game 7.

Teams have won being down 0-3 in other sports, don't think it's impossible in the NBA.

At this point it's literally a 3-1 series, no more, no less.

I just seen a clip of the crew talking about Kyrie and being an anti Semite...
And maturing and all this stuff.
These people are so fake.
I hate saying it but it's time for them to pack it up.

The nikka Kyrie was just sitting up there a few games ago.
They were giggling and laughing with him
Smh.

Kyrie has always been well spoken, polite and intelligent.
Only the narrative has changed

 

[GoldenGlove]

Draymond had Gobert in a choke hold earlier this season. They not talking to dude

Also... Chuck and Draymond been telling Mavs players to end the series so they don't have to go back to Minnesota during the post-game interviews

Draymond giving Gafford strategy advice on how to counter the Wolves coverages when he catches the ball... And y'all surprised Ant or Kat ain't going on there? Ant would end up cursing Draymond out live on National TV

Problem is, do you expect Towns to give you 4 straight games of non-goofball activity? I don't. Awful fouls, chucking up horrible shots, he's just not a guy you wanna rely on.

I agree though, they've got game 5 and 7 at home so they've got as good a chance as any to make this a series - especially if Lively is gonna miss more time.

The coaching staff can manage KAT's stupidity and put him on the bench when he's nearing foul trouble. He has the best backup big in the NBA subbing in for him, really no excuse to play KAT with any foul trouble unless it's late in the 4th quarter

Lively will be back most likely but honestly, I don’t think him not being there was the difference. KAT was just missing those same shots when he was out there. I get it from a lob threat perspective but they protected the rim the same on drives. And to be fair, I didn’t agree with some of those offensive foul calls on KAT.

Honestly, I think he has it in him to play well the next three games. Earlier in the year dude was lights out. At the end of the day he's a professional.

Even then, we haven't seen that Ant game this series yet either. I think they get that one, whether next game or game 6 and all the pressure is on Dallas.

If the rest of the Wolves can be good enough for Ant to have that masterclass for game 7, that'd be something. Like you said, it's a lot to ask, but I do think they have it in them.

I honestly see this as the 2017 Finals all over again. Mavs can end it all with a win, but can meet a serious slip if they don't close it in game 5. The Wolves are too good of a team to take for granted.

That's true, the Wolves have shown that they're ok with benching KAT if Reid is cooking and it's a late game scenario

no its not

I've talked about it before

I'm tired of everyone acting like Kyrie is some amazing player when he hasn't spent 1 meaningful minute as a #1 option on a good team. He gets all the praise in the world for playing well, and none of the criticism for playing badly

Its been going on all postseason. Jamal Crawford, Reggie Miller, and Kevin Harlan have been sucking him off even when his numbers stink. When he has a bad game, they talk about how he's a swiss army knife type player and how that's good for his team. When he scores well, it's "OH! He's such a magician with the ball". The man averaged 15ppg in round 2. He blended in the background completely, but since they won, everyone acts like it's all good. He can literally do no wrong with these guys. Imagine if Jokic, Curry, KD, Bron, Giannis, or Tatum scored 15ppg for a 6 game series. The media would be on their asses. Tatum averaged 27ppg in the ECSF and the media was acting like he was ass. shyt, JAMAL has been getting more flak for his performance in the playoffs and that man is a 0-time all star, 0-time All-NBA player.

I have nikkas replying to my posts saying "Kyrie can live off of 2016 forever, no matter what." So the nikka is Doc Rivers then? 2016 was 8 years ago, and Kyrie hasn't done shyt else but hitch his ride onto different superstars and implode when he has to step up and lead. It happens on NBA twitter also.

He's extremely high-maintenance and he's not really good enough to be.
