How can Timberwolves upset Mavs on the road in Game 3? 👀 ‘PLAY FREE!’ – CP3 | NBA Countdown

all right Gary what about out west where Luca donic and the Mavs very much in command of the Western Conference finals coming into game three tonight in Dallas up two games to none after taking the first two in Minnesota and teams to win the first two games of a Conference Finals on the road have a 10-0 series record all time and Luke is a big reason why averaging just better than 32 points and 10 dimes so far in this series he’s the first player since John havich with his 68 CS to average at least 30 and 10 for the first two games of a confence final meanwhile struggle City for Minnesota Stars Ant-Man shooting just 33% in the series Carl Anthony towns is at 28% they were combined 9 for 33 in game two Malika Andrews and Company the countdown Crew looking ahead now to game three and now we turn the page to game three of the Western Conference Finals with Stephen A Smith Chris Paul Michael wilbon Bob Myers I’m Malika Andrews this was just an emotionally exhausting loss I have to imagine for Minnesota losing by just one Point how do they go into Dallas now and try to steal one Chris it’s tough it’s going to be tough it’s a tough environment to go into Dallas anyway but going down 02 Dallas is going to feel that energy to crowd everybody coming in there knowing that if they win this game three the series can pretty much be over there’s two things that the Minnesota templewood should be hoping for number one the dynamic Doo that is anman and and Carl Anthony towns getting out scored by 44 points by the two Dallas uh Maverick superstars in this series thus far they’re gonna play better they need to play better they have to understand that that’s number one they should be hoping for number two just hope Dallas Cowboys are in the audience and bring back luck what is happening SLI to First how about how about how about just how about the How about if the Minnesota timber walls make better decisions right okay how about having Mike connley on the floor when he needs to be on the floor how about having Carl Anthony towns on the floor and not on the bench for about the final 9 Minutes of the game how about not letting Rudy goar have to go out and guard a guy who’s saying are you kidding me you switched on to me how about better decision making cuz the Timberwolves in two games are like 0 for eight in the last four minutes of each game well bad news is real bad news they lost two games at home which which is going to be hard to recover from good news is it was by a total of four points so it’s right there I I felt like I don’t know what you guys think but I thought Minnesota for being at home played tight and usually that that when you’re at home that’s that you’re rela you feel good you get the confidence of the crowd but I thought especially the last quarter of both games Dallas looked like they felt good the shot quality the possessions and Minnesota just couldn’t get into anything and I don’t know if that’s the youth but maybe on the road maybe Minnesota says we’re not supposed to win let’s just go play well listen I think the thing that’s that’s going to work against Minnesota arguably anyway is that you did it last series where you beat the defending Champions three games on their home home court Games 1 2 and seven can you duplicate that that’s a hard ass number one but at the end of the day you just have to respond CP3 this is about stars at this point in time in the season the stars have to show up yep and Dallas they have to feel good about themselves right now going home having a chance to go up 3 0 I think Minnesota has to come into the game and just play free just play free Dallas they have closes they have Luca they have Kyrie it’s going to be a lot on anony ER was in those guys but they got to come bring it for this game to have a chance well I can tell you this entering this year there have been 10 teams that won the first two games of the Conference Finals on the road all of them went on to win those series we’ll see if that Trend continues all right mikica thank you hey after winning the first two games as underdogs Dallas now finding itself a two and a half Point favorite for game three it’s a low total though 2072 points first two games of the series went over that number but but you you compare it to the Eastern Conference where the finals of that Series game four 15 points [Music] [Applause] [Music] higher is com

  1. When I saw the number of downvotes, I thought there would be an awful take somewhere but there weren't any. Then I remembered Steven A. said maybe Cowboys' fans in the stands would give the Mavs bad luck.
    This is truly sad. 453 upvotes vs 1.3K downvotes because of salty Cowboys fans.
    I am a Philly sports fan so I am used to the criticism but this Cowboy fan response is a little over the top for a video.

  2. BOS and MAVS, two hated teams by these clown self-proclaimed analysts are on their way to the Finals and yet they (media) can't say nice about it. lmao. It's okay tho, we (real basketball fans) know what's up..

  3. What the hell are they smoking? Couldn’t get a shot?! Dude. Refs kept getting them free throws and Reid was 7/8 from three..what do you mean/want?!

  4. Even when wolves lose, the players make it sound like they lost because of themselves and not because mavs won it.

  5. We should expect bogus takes from ESPN. They just ride the hype train and watch as their takes and favorite players fall apart😂

  6. We know the answer for the NBA… just put Tony Brothers as head ref and rig the game in favor of MIN, the guy blatantly hates Luka and the MAVS.

  7. SMITH! SMITH ! SMITH AGAIN, BLOCKED BY PIPPEN. Ewing missed the lay up!!!! Nevermind the Cowboys you clown, because These are your only NY Knicks highlights since 1973.

  8. sas is a racist black man who has an enormous amount of pride and will never admit Luka is better than Shai

  9. Cowboy players been at these games. Mavs been fine. But as you see, SAS has to bring the Boys up. Can’t help himself.

  10. The face of the league is still lebron until he leaves. Then it’s Steph Curry till he’s done. Yall needa chill out.

  11. Why ESPN talk so much about Minnesota and how they will win, not how good Dallas are? Give some credit to Dallas, they were 18pts behind in game 2 and managed to win it. Anything is possible, but I don't see Minnesota having the answers for Luka and Kyrie.

  12. I think it’s disrespectful to Luka that ESPN and it’s people keep overlooking him and his achievements.
    He’s better than most, accept that. He’s arguably the best player in this series.

  13. When white people find that one white person who do things and don’t get credit they be real quick to say it’s racism . Stephen a has had terrible takes both ways . He dragged kyrie for years and y’all didn’t say nothing

  14. Walmart MJ gonna get smoked tonight. He said he gonna be more aggressive tonight and is taking lots of shots. If he ain't going for at least 30+ he ain't coming back from this shi.
