If this game goes down to wire the Mavericks have the experience. The Wolves need to win the 3rd quarter or they are in trouble. You don't want a close game getting this type of production from guys like Slow Mo and McDaniels.

mavs perimeter d looking highly sus :patrice:


Better matchup for the Mavs regardless. That Wolves blitz defense only emboldens the Mavs. You never do that on a pick and roll heavy team. It allows Luka and Kyrie to

1. Pass to Lively and Gafford for lob dunks
2. Pass to wide open 3 point shooters
3. Luka-ball with foul baiting
4. Kyrie straight up blowing by extra aggressive defenders

Didn't think coming into this game it would be the Mavericks with a layup line to the rim considering the Wolves' size. Unless Ant starts attacking the basket Mavericks will win this game at this rate.

Reminds me of game 1 Lakers Nuggets wrt how well the Lakers were shooting but were up only a marginal amount
I mean it was mainly lucky shots by Jaden. KAT, Conley, and NAW have one 3 among them so far.

The Timberwolves shot the highest percentage from 3 in the regular season. I don’t think a lot of yall know that but you can look it up. If anything the fact that our 3 best 3 point shooters haven’t made shyt, that should tell you something. And we aren’t the shyt ass lakers. We’ll see how the third shakes out though.
