Minnesota caught a break with the Lively injury. This would have been a sweep but it seems like he’s a go for game 5. Bottom line is Luka plays better on the road in the playoffs than he does at home home avg 33/9/9 which is absurd. I trust Luka/Kai more than I do Ant/KAT in the clutch. Also, Dallas have not lost consecutive games in the postseason this year which it’s important to remember.

Even on defense I believe he’s good with on ball defense, but his defensive IQ outside of that is relatively average whereas I see Luka having the exact opposite on defense. Average on ball defense with a relatively high defensive IQ as you almost always see him getting the right reads, right rotations, and generally keeping up with everything happening on the court outside his vision.

The Mavs have to win the rebounding battle especially defensively. Take care of the basketball. Luka needs to play off the ball more and needs to be in the mid, post or pinch post somewhere in that area where he can get a higher percentage shot. Kyrie needs to be the point guard and at the top of the key because he can push the tempo on a make or miss.

The Mavs were having a low rhythm but next game when their rhythm again rise up. . Then the Wolves are finished. . .
Mavs played badly but game 4 was so closed without Lively. With Lively in game 5... That is different story. In the playoffs mavs always win in game 5. So harvest time in wolves homecourt.
Luka and kyrie shot 30 percent, Kat shot 80 from three and they still only won by 5. If they can barely win with Dallas playing so bad how do they have a chance when they dominate?

Maps have never lost 2 games in a row this season.
I also have an issue with the outcome dictating the narrative. If at the end of game 2 Luka doesn't make that three or Naz took a couple inches off his three at the buzzer, the narrative is quite different about the Wolves not having an answer for this or that or not matching up well against the Mavs. Everyone would be talking about this being such an evenly matched series.
Wow a bunch of MAVS haters! Well this aged well. 😂
The initial mistake by the twolves was putting Ant on Kyrie
This panel really don’t understand basketball they think it’s all shots. Yes timberwolves won but kat had five points in first half. As far as as schemes no adjustment was made Luka and Kyrie gave them that game.
Wolves have been in every single game. They just need to lock in and focus when that pivotal moment in the game comes.
Stop calling him Antman that sounds so stupid lol

You forget to mention Kyrie had a very bad game, Luka had a sub par game for his standards, Lively was absent.
They can be aggressive when you missing your rim protection
Kyrie’s teammate, Luka Doncic, has a homie named Nikola Jokic, who along with teammate Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets ended LeBron James’ 2023-2024 NBA season in by GAME 5 when Jamal Murray dunked on LeBron James via a face-to-face, one-on-one posterization that will never be forgotten - Jamal Murray BAPTIZED LeBron James - with a nasty facial, followed by a game winner that ended LeBron James’ career/LA Lakers’ career via a 4-1 Gentlemen’s SWEEP in only ROUND ONE of the 2023-2024 NBA Playoffs. Michael Jordan is the GOAT! And Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James. 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀👀
Oh boy what a take and not mentioning that Lively was out.
Everyone seem to forget that d-live was out
Why would anyone think that Kat ain’t gonna go back to just pulling up for 3’s??
3:05 same thing with the pacers boston besides the one blowout game
This didn’t age well 😂
So… still thinking the mavs are “not” that much better than the Puppys 🤣
It’s too late for LeBron’s fans because their NEW king, Anthony Edwards, already identified Michael Jordan as the GOAT……. Anthony Edwards (2020 Draft Class) said about Patrick Beverly comparing himself (Anthony Edwards) to Michael Jordan, “I just want him to stop…..yea, it’s just because he (Michael Jordan) is the greatest to ever play basketball and I’m so far from it.” - Anthony Edwards Edwards is humble like Jordan, unlike 🤡 boys who call themselves the GOAT while wearing Michael Jordan’s jersey number. Smfh. 🤦♂️♨️♨️♨️😁
I have not heard anyone point out how Dallas and MN have similar logs and the same colors. Now I know that MN had their colors and logo before Dallas, so Dallas bit. I also think that Dallas changed theirs over when MN when with the forest look, which was not bad either.
I think Luka feeds from these moments
As a Mavs fan, i cant think of a single ref decision that I've been upset with this series. Not one. That seems very odd, to me.
All I'm saying is , it's a must win fr the mavs tonight cause if u gamble in a game 6 n lose, anything can happen in a game 7.
you think luka will just slip it away? thats crazy man. mavs are not a joke team. if pacers or new york with less players yes they can make history but not with dallas

Good for you. AE is a great player and deserves to get his flowers. Jokic said it during their series and Luka said it last night. Kyrie also said it in one of his post game interviews this series.
From a historical perspective the series is over however I just want to see more games. Who wants wait a week to watch the finals. Let this thing go to 7 then we get the finals with the Mavs vs Boston. It would be great for the league.
Minnesota got desperate to win one game because they didn't want to get Swept by Dallas, but just remember, Dallas only need just one game to move on to the Finals. And right now I think Dallas just might be a little angry about losing at home so it could over in Minnesota in game five............ (BNAIC)😏
Never seen Minnesota so happy to win a game. They celebrated like they won the NBA Finals. Felt really proud beating a team with injured Luka, old Kie, injured Kebler, and no Lively.
A pinky touched Luka and it was a foul 😭
They had some juice, but they had to squeeze very hard to get some!
No lively is what made it easier to shut out kai and luka took away our lob threat Rudy got to be what he earned dpoy for a paint defender lively will be back gonna change it up a bit and we all know kai out of everyone will bounce back
So lively didn’t play, Luca was a little off on the shooting, Washington and Jones were cold, Kyrie had a terrible game, and Minnesota played their best team game according to you guys and they won by five points. So what you’re saying is they have absolutely no chance if any of those factors don’t happen
Yes it will be a series
Acho be "brown-cappin" Shady
First time for everything!
Joy make a point and stick to our. Enough of this both sides bs
it’s obviously helpful to rotate players that were injured and put them in rotation get them used to that finals environment, mavs lost the first game every series before this one that’s supposed to be the most challenging, now we’re up 3-1. To say the wolves have a chance is crazy to me noting everything the mavs have done and will do, Like kyrie said this is the wolves super bowl, but yet it still doesn’t feel like ant and cat ,gobert they are playing like it.
If Lively plays in game 5 its a wrap 🫔 and kyrie will be aggressive from tip-off. He's getting more than 16 in game 5.
Can someone explain to joy that when asked “do you think” and “do you know” are two different things.
So lively will play game 5?
They're gonna win Game 5 and then Dallas REALLY will be under pressure for Game 6

i think twolves have figured out the formula. They need to insert Kyle Anderson to take on LUKA and Kyrie so Ant can save his energy on the offense side. KAT just has to drive into the paint for 2 point buckets. Woves don't have to match Dallas with 3 point shootout.
If the Wolves get to Game 7, they will win this series. The pressure on the Mavs would be too much for them and the Wolves would play so loose and make NBA history

A 7 game series is not that unique tho Acho you get that in MLB and NHL
Game five will be crucial, fouls and turnovers has to be avoided by both teams. If lively comes back, wolves will definitely have to put a body on him when blocking out the boards and posting up on the blocks. Wolves got to get kat going and have Anderson continued his work in this series, McDaniels will explode on both ends of the court; reid and gobert & the bench will show up.
Kel punching air right now
these takes i can’t wait to hear how much they had up the celtics
I think mavs keep up the streak of not loosing 2 in a row, They havent done that all postseason
This series is unpredictable ANYTHING can happen this time around. Mavs in 5 or 6 is predictable, but it's definitely possible the T-Wolves could win in 7. I see all the possibilities and match-ups
So no credit to the Mavs at all for winning 3 straight and now it’s “Minnesota will make this a series!” What did the Mavs do to these peoples teams man?😂
“NBA very uniquely has a best of 7”? What about baseball and hockey , people???
Every shady post pissing me off now
Let’s go T-Wolves make history!! Your the better team wear Luka out of the game and focus on Kyrie
As a Mavs fan, I blame the loss entirely on 20 yr old Lively being out and give the Timberwolves no credit whatsoever, in any way, for their win. I hate them.
