As a Minnesota fan I think we’re gonna lose this series in 5 especially if Anthony and KaT keeps missing open layups and scoring under 20 pts it’s not looking good

They didn't take the mavs seriously. Didnt play with desperation

Kyrie was playing like that one dude at the park that is trying 300% harder than everyone there, sprinting downhill at breakneck speeds getting past our defenders with the softest layups off the glass every time. Criminally underrated player and I'm worried about him continuing to have his way this series

Bad defense. Very fundamentally flawed defense

On the money

There is selection bias in these stats. You have to account for the fact that on average a team that wins a series in

NBA officiating is in need of a huge revamp

The Wolves top 2 scorers all season are ANT and KAT. They combined for 12 of 36 shots and 21 were 3pt of which they hit 7. The game ended them losing by 3. In other words they win if they hit 1 of their 14 combined missed 3 point shots or 2 of their combined 10 other shots. Luka and Kyrie needed to do all that just to win by 3. The first game should be more concerning for Mavs since they now need to dominate on offense and pray MN top 2 are no shows for 3 of the 6 remaining games.

This is a dumb argument that a lot of people use. In a vacuum you can say that if they make just 2 more shots they win, but you are ignoring that if Dallas makes 4 more 3s and go 10 of 25 instead of 6 of 25, Dallas wins by 15. Dallas wasn't even close to playing their best game either on game 1.

Mavs will shoot better from three but I’m confident the wolves won’t lose the paint battle by 25+ points

What if you wake up Saturday and we are down 0-2? You panicking then? I am for sure

I'm pissed, I wanted vent line! Not sure if the team noticed that this is the conference effing finals! That defensive effort was pathetic! You let lively take in the rebounds on the offensive end. Kyrie and Luka did whatever they wanted against us. Interior defense was worst it's been all year

You are literally playing a NEXT GEN version of LeBron's 2016 Cavaliers.

Goaltending isn’t subtle. It’s either above or not. Period. Your verbal gymnastics won’t change the truth. Btw KAT was looking and watching right after doing it because he knew…

Why you paying attention to other men tattoos ?

Jayden played kyrie to close and got burned. Better to make him shoot and play a half a step back. They should've made that adjustment in the first quarter, that is concerning that they were too dumb to adjust to an obvious mistake

Kidd got that game 1 thing from LeBron James, who uses it to get the other team to show its hand for the split in game 2, and control of the series. Example: If I'm Dallas, I'm thinking Minnesota used game 1 to get Dallas to show its hand. Their coach knows his team would be feeling itself(and distracted) at home, is more dangerous on the road.

Those freaking out, must be new Wolves fans.

with how i know we can play and win on the road, im not concerned with losing by 3. even with a great jaden game gone to waste. If we lose game 2, then i am concerned. Our defense was making so many mistakes to which i think we can fix with focus. i expect mavs to shoot better from the 3. its should still be close we will see.

Simply put, its not over until its over

You don’t think mavs d had anything to do with Kat and ants shooting? Can Jayden make that many threes on the regular? Will the mavs only make 6? Luka and kyrie made the best defense look horrible. There should be concern, but we’ll see the adjustments.

Played bad defense but got huge 3pt shots to keep up the pace to stay in it. They really need to stop settling for 3s though. I think Dallas was daring them to come into the paint and were willing to let them fire from the perimeter. That is what I think screwed them when it got late and they missed shots when they really needed it. They barely tried to put any pressure into the paint. There is no excuse for being worn out after 2 days off. I am wondering if they are either over-training in the extra days off or something that is messing up their conditioning. They seem to never have energy after a 2 day break.

I think Wolves may be in trouble. I don’t see 4th quarter belonging to Wolves, particularly last 4 minutes- they need a marginal lead going down the stretch, not a seesaw battle. Closing belongs to Dallas.

I'm not worried tbh. We were beating them most of the game. They just needed to close it out, but they came 4 pts short.

Finch is bringing it out of them and that’s what we needed

Does anyone think to shove in JMac for a few mintures to guard Kyrie, or too small? Having Ant and NAW guarding but there might be some lineups where it might not work... or could Morris find a few mintues to chase him? The offense could benefit with JMac... I know it's the playoffs but it really sucks when you have this possible firecracker waiting to get the offense back going. Subtle but effective... that was a BS mosquito bite call.

Finch is very conservative when he gives playing time and that's one of his faults ...he just doesn't do it very much even though we have guys that can help

I think what’s hard for me is that we can’t expect a game like that from Jaden again. A lot of Dallas players under performed. It feels like one we should have won and just could get it done. The level of energy each player plays with is kinda hard to criticize. It’s hard to tell what is because they are tired and what is because of matchups. It’s hard to say what needs to be improved if nothing is terrible and nothing is great. It feels like all we can ask the timberwolves to do is play harder. Which is kind of like saying I will get better by just getting better… Not the best plan if a plan at all… the most reasonable thing to me is that finch and Edward’s need to work to get Edward’s more points. Dude can only be an on court coach for so long. We need more than his defense and leadership.

Ky is 0-14 too

They were all shooting threes much quicker than normal, which I think signals tiredness.

Mavs fan here. Luka struggles more with weight and strength as opposed to length. Felt like McDaniels couldn’t force Luka off his spots in game 1.

Timberwolves farted themselves worse than Dan orlovsky on pat McAfee show

Wonder if Naz and Kyle can be our best Luka defenders outside of Jaden..

Normal Illinois is kind of a twin city to Bloomington Illinois, in the central part of the state. It is a real city, though not sure how normal it is, since I've never been there

Timberwolves are in a trickbag of sorts. Their strenght of wing defenders is still there, however Kyrie and Luka will beat whoever is in front of them. Luka is too strong for any of the timberwolves defenders, and Kyrie is too skilled. Everyone was complaining of Minnesota's drop coverage, thats how their defense is bulit. Honestly, if they switch it up both Kyrie and Luka will get to the rim. On Kyrie is basketball IQ is up there, in the last series Murray when he would get by his defender(when he could) his dumbass would drive into the wolves strength of the back line. Kyrie has an array of mid level scoring moves to go to, and is smart enought to use it. KAt needs to be in the post to take advantage of the obvious mismatch, but I'm not sure if he's about that life. Minnesota definately can win this series but if they goin with preconceived notions on what they will do, Mavs will beat them.

They looked gassed... the Mavs having that 1 less extra game benefited them. Only Naz, Slomo, and Jaden were the only ones that seemed energetic (Naz was all over the court, I'm surprised they didn't play him more in the 4th). It's strange to see Ant look that tired in the 4th. Not surprised Finchy would be a bit upset; we all know the team is far better than last night. Only losing by a few points with lack of energy is a good sign. Gotta recoop and get a game 2 win. The blitzing of Luka seemed like an effective strategy only in short spurts.Just like Jokic, can't let Luka get to his spots. Kyrie on the other hand really can't be stopped, can expect to make any circus shot at any place in the 1/2 court.

Luka only shot 12 for 26. He wasn't very efficient in the first 3 quarters but closed out the 4th on his run. Rudy needs to stay back with his guy when Luka drives. If Jaden is on Luka, I'll take my chances that he's going to have to hit a tough runner instead of an easy assist to Rudy's man. We should be okay with Conley guarding Kyrie because NAW will come in for him midway through the quarter anyways.

We need to switch how we play the pick and roll. You guys are talking about switching way to much stuff for a team who just played bad. Towns needs to dominate there bigs and we when easy as that.

If the Wolves take better care of the ball, and play a little better half-court ball, not jacking up so many threes, we'll be okay. We won't win a track meet, and will lose 9/10 of those style games.

Wolves had 10 turnovers. Mavs had 13. I will take 10 every single stinking game.

They better drop a good amount of players deep to defend. Because we saw that Dallas can outrun the Wolves.

While I’d love for them to do away with goaltending (so long as it’s not someone punching up through the net or something), I don’t think there’s anyway they do that after having just invested in that tech they flashed afterwards and apparently used during the game. Also, even that tech showed that the ball was over 50% outside of the cylinder, so I have to assume that the rule requires it to be 100% out… which now makes me want to go back and watch all of the Mav’s putbacks to check for “interference”… but for all of Dončić’s whining, the ref’s fully listened to his calling for interference on that play - maybe we should do the same.

@icanhazgoodgame3845

If you get rid of offensive goaltending it would completely change the game. Offensive players would jam in every shot rattling around the rim and defensive players couldn't defend them. I think it was close, KAT got big air caught it high above the rim so it looked worse than it was actually was. We can't change every rule that hurts a team during the post season (see NFL) but maybe it could be tweaked so the "cylinder" does extend infinite above the rim.
