  1. I'm calling it 4 -1 Dallas, only because the NBA might stretch it, 🤷🏽‍♂️ we all know that they gotta make their money…
    Other than that, I'd pull out the 🧹

  2. I don't why the wolves continue to work outside when they an advantage inside with gobert and towns. They need to pound inside all game. Somehow Dallas outscored them in the paint by a lot

  3. Ant ain't Kobe or mike as a player. He does have a great personality and charisma about him. As good as Ant has been it has been team defensive and offense that doesn't rely on just one guy playing one on one with his defender. The wolves have won as a team all year not just Ant blowing up for 40 a night. He only averaged 25 during the season. It's not to say he can't take a game over. But if ur guna tell me who's going to win the series if they are just going to play one on one basketball with Dallas…. I'm guna take Luca and Kyrie if that's the case. Wolves need better scoring from Kat and gobert inside. They need to use their size or the twolves will not get to the finals

  4. For the last free throw. Why not just throw it one -handed as hard as you can off the backboard and try to get a 3 to tie?

  5. They played like garbage and only loss by 3, this should have been a blowout, the only thing that save then was Jaden tonight

  6. Anthony has to actually learn to play basketball. Athleticism isn’t enough. Guys like Luka and Shai ACTUALLY know how to play every position and have legit go to scoring moves from years of practice. Dallas in 6

  7. Shit I got maverick’s this series but the cockiness of each of these 4 teams fans make me cheer for any team at this point..

    Stay humble. This series is going to 6 or 7 .

    Same goes for the east

  8. Why is no one talking about that missed back court violation with that inbounds at 17 seconds left? I saw it in real time, and 100% confirmed in slow motion.

  9. Jason Kidd coaching two of the best PG's in the league and a high-flying defensive supporting cast is dangerous. I am so happy to see defense playing a part in the NBA Playoffs again. Dallas needed this win to set the tone. It is going to be a hell of a series.
