2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

SVG is right: this is an embarrassing performance for Minnesota.

Also, Reggie Miller had somehow gotten even worse. Didn’t even know that was possible.

Yeh.  Spot on with them being satisfied with avoiding sweep it would seem.

The effort is embarrassing. Pointlessly doubling off-ball players, soft close-outs, going under screens, etc. And that's just on defense. On offense no one wants to score and everyone is playing scared.

Matchups, matchups, matchups. The media completely overrating Minny (and Ant) after beating Denver, despite it being more of a bad matchup + gimpy Murray issue.

Funnily enough, the media will probably do the exact same thing with this Mavs team now, too 🙄

The Indiana Pacers should be feeling good tonight. Minnesota only wanted to avoid the sweep, shameful.

[Yuckabuck33]

Minnesota's measly offense only scores 40 points in the half. Stan keeps pushing his "best offensive backcourt in NBA history." They might be, but the Wolves are going to lose because they can't score against Dallas. Reminds me of the Celtics before Joe when our defense was great but we couldn't score enough.

I do not feel good about this Dallas matchup.

Usually in the NBA, the team with the best player wins the series. Luka will be the best player in the series by far.

Also, Dallas is the best team in the league at closing games: something the Celtics couldn’t do all year until very recently.

Don’t expect anything from KP either.

The NBA media will change anything to confirm the pick they want to make. Minnesota/Denver were the real Finals. Minnesota/Dallas is the real Finals. If you want to say the Eastern conference wasn't good ok, but the C's are well above that. They had the best winning record against the West all season.

Our 1-6>>>> their 1-6

And the gap between Tatum and Doncic isn’t as big as you are making it seem….

GOODNIGHT MINNY!

This wolves team isn't as good as advertised.

We are way more talented than they are.

The gap would be in Tatum's favor if you give defense any reasonable weighting.

It’s already starting. Even on this board.

NBA is a game of matchups it’s why minny can beat Denver but lose to the mavs.

It’s why Denver would’ve probably destroyed Dallas.

Celtics matchup well with Dallas no matter what people say. Especially if KP can at least be 70%.

We also won’t be letting Luca rest on defense.

We have the best two two-way players in the series. Maybe even more of the best two way players....

For some reason a lot of fans don’t….i expect us to challenge Luca often and not let him sit in a corner and hide on that end.
