I am still surprised it took until game 4 to try Ant on Luka. In iso situations Ant’s pure athleticism allows him to keep his own. He generally just made Luka work harder for his shots whether he knocked them down or not.

Yep, hopefully we can run with the McDaniels/NAW/Conley combo on Kyrie, and Ant/SlowMo on Luka. This definitely gives us the best chance to win.
The issue is that now that Dallas knows this, they will try to adjust. Jason Kidd has outcoached us this series, frankly. And with Lively back, they’re going to try and go for the kill in game 5 now that we’ve shown our hand.
If we can pull off game 5 after they make their adjustment and with Lively back, I do think we have a legit chance to force game 7.

The tough part is if you put Ant or Towns on him, their chance of fouling out goes up exponentially.

Think we figured out how to slow down Luka: just put Ant on him.
Kinda crazy how our offensive centerpiece is also our defensive secret weapon.

Does Luka guard ant?
lol of course he doesn’t

I like the fire from the wolves and they gave too much respect to this mavs team. I think they awoke the beast. They know they are better than this squad and I think they are sick of Luka’s foul baiting bs. Let’s go!
I’d like to see finch back on the court next game too. He can do it and he should just do it even if the nba doesn’t wanna let him.

Unfortunately this played a huge role in Ant picking up 5 fouls. It’ll work in stretches but isn’t something we will see all game long.

Not sure why it took them so long to switch up the matchups.
Also, who decided to finally do it.
It makes a lot of sense; Ant is harder to move than Jaden, and Kyrie now has a 700 foot wingspan to shoot over.
