Fun game.  Also how the heck do the mavs get pj for grant williams.  What a good trade for them. 

Lots of turnovers this quarter.

They did give up a 2027 1st (and got two 2nds back), so it wasn't a straight up swap.

And there's Luka to put DAL up 4

This is a really bad sign for Minnesota. Dallas couldn't throw the ball into the ocean tonight and Minnesota did zero about it.

Please… Ant has done nothing the last two games. Got carried in his Game 7 but somehow gets praised for that too  ::)

so who are we even rooting for in this series?  My gut says we would rather have Minn.
You have two killer shot makers in Luka and Kyrie that play well in big games.

What a horrible 2nd and final TO by MIN. That is disastrous for them

Dallas. We will overwhelm them

Minnesota worries me because they got three legit big men and meanwhile we have Horford and probably a hobbled KP. Not so ideal

It doesn't matter. C's title chances henge on the legs of KP. If he comes back good it's a wrap.

Not going to like the Luka praise, but glad to see Minny and Ant knocked down a peg - though I’m sure they’ll move the goalposts to protect Ant again 🙄

Also, so much for him shutting down Kyrie, too, eh?

Man, that game did not go well for Minnesota.

I would not be shocked if Dallas wins this in a short 4 or 5 game series. Minnesota got nothing to work for Ant or Towns. They cannot rely on their role players to bail them out like this every night. They cannot rely on Dallas shooting this badly from 3 every night.

Dallas looks a lot stronger than Minnesota.

I don’t know. Games like tonight also show you how limited Minny’s late-game offense is, so there’s that benefit, too.
