    Agreed and All the teams remaining built their star players through the draft except Pacers who still drafted Turner. Even Nuggets and Warriors stars Bucks with Giannis through the draft and OKC of the past. Small market or big market you can build a championship team. Those unsuccessful organizations don't know what they're doing

    Glad Legler called out the excuses from Edwards. In his pregame presser, Ant said he wasn't concerned about Kyrie off ball only with the ball on his ends. That was very ironic considering how much Kyrie's off ball movement got him tired. That's not on Edwards though, that's on the coaching staff to scout and have him prepared for the matchup against Kyrie.

    I agree with Legs. Get in your action before they have time to set. But to Stephen A's point Dallas getting buckets prevented the Wolves from leaking out on those fast breaks. Also fatigue played a role. Being tired prevents you from attacking and you end up settling. But that's when you should bring in a Naz Reid into the game down the stretch. If they are packing the paint, have your best 3pt shooters out there to take advantage. Reid is also one of the best at attacking close outs. It will be interesting to see how both teams approach game 2.

    minesota doesnt have a matchup for luka or kyrie. all of their perimeter defenders are either too small for luka or vulnerable to kyrie quickness. also they cannot run drop coverage and win this series while they also cannot universally blitz. if dallas shot a decent percentage from 3 game 1 would've been a blowout.

    Yep, this is exactly why Dallas has the advantage over Mavs. Not to mention Rudy and KAT have 0 inside game and back-to-the-basket game, respectively, while Dallas have heaps of lob threats and interior scoring from Gafford, PJ, Lively, DJJ to capitalise on Luka and Kyrie beating their perimeter defenders. Media are clowns who just keep trying to overpromote Ant like they do another player every season (Ja, Embiid, Tatum, Zion, list goes on). Nuggets would have been a much harder match-up for Mavs.

    Say what you want about phoenix but the wolves had it easy sweeping them, then took it all the way to game 7 against the nuggets and I feel like Ant being gassed in the 4th quarter is a sign of things to come in this series, if the mavs win game 2 then in my opinion mentally it’ll be hard for the wolves to get it done, I think game 1 was a mental blow to them because Luka didn’t have his best night but he closed it down good Kyrie had a aggressive night going at Ant and the wolves and the supporting players did their thing while they essentially blocked the lane and let the Wolves try shoot around the perimeter. If Luka has a more efficient night shooting the 3 it’ll be hard for the wolves to cope
