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

[Nero Christ]

Wolves should win this but Luka & Kyrie are the types to pull something crazy and take this in 7

 

[UpAndComing]

I got Wolves in 6, Dallas hasn't seen this level of defensive and offensive intensity and capability in a whole series thus far. Wolves are just too athletic, big, and play too aggressive. They can play in transition or play in the half court, they can win a grind out game or blow you out. Don't think PJ Washington is gonna find himself playing over his head again like he did in the previous series either.

And seeing a defensive trio like Ant/NAW/McDaniels

Yeah give me Wolves

I feel the aggressive trap defense by the Wolves will work in the Mavs's favor

It’ll be fun to watch for sure, I’m sure we’ll see some nice playmaking from Luka out of those doubles. Kyrie as secondary option isn’t a bad choice either.

Nice title OP.

I want Wolves to win this series

Mavs should win but when the league be fair to them with how the media is pimping Ant as USA basketball savior?

The Wolves have handled the Mavs easily in these games. And no PJ Washington and Gafford are not going to make that much of a difference. This ain't the Clippers or Okc. Lively is a rookie who is going across three grown men in the trenches I mean you are going to need 30 a night from Kyrie and Luka just to stay close.

Sorry yall but didnt even realize that Kyrie and Luka only played together for one of those games and the Mavs won that one. I still have the Wolves in 5 but this is a totally different Mavs team than the one they faced during the season.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

On paper, I think the Wolves are a little better.

If Luka/Kyrie are playing their A-game all the way through, I think the Mavs are a little better. Neither team is gonna be scared of the other. This isn't the Showtime Lakers or Jordan Bulls. They are good basketball teams capable of winning any game but not so good they can win every game.

Wolves will win. Mavs beat OKC cuz they were able to dominate the boards. That won't happen vs Minnesota

Mavs beat okc because shai fouled PJ like a bozo

 

[StatUS]

Mavs beat okc because shai fouled PJ like a bozo

They lost in 6.

 

[Tunez]

Mavs in 6

 

[Damnshow]

I’m not ready to see either one of these teams in the Finals before the Sixers


finna be a great series, still can’t believe the Wolves beat the Nuggets

Forget about the sixers. They were sabotaged by nba after they fired hinkie and gave colangelo the keys, then elton brand adding more disappointment after him.

For sixers to make the finals they'd need a 3rd reliable option + couple good key role players and have embiid healthy for the entire run.

 

[Gotright]

With Luka being hurt Kyrie gone have to be a monster in this serie, but if ant Man checking him I don’t know if he can do it, wolves in six just cause I fukk with Luka
