Definitely don’t want it to be close with Luka and Cryrie there

Minnesota losing a game where they make 12 more threes than the Mavericks at home.

Wow, that's a game you have to win.

Ant and Towns combined

35 points
12-36 FGA 33.3% FG%

Only 4 FTAs on 32 FGAs. Terrible.

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.

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

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

I def liked seeing the Twolves have issues with creating offense.  It feels like they might have shown their best in the Denver series already.

Close games where it comes down to isos Dallas’s iso guys are better than ours  :-*

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Feeling less intimidated about the big bad west than I was before. Sure, these teams are very good, but we also went 3-1 against them combined this year. And the 1 loss was in OT w/o KP (to MIN). We just have to keep working towards that final goal.

maybe we can pull for a 7 game series with 7 OT's each game moving forward and let the chips fall ?  :D :D

Unlike Denver or Suns, Mavs actually plays solid defense especially with their galvanized rim protection

It can’t be close if we face them, we have to have a lead to play with because if it’s trading shots with ISOs and no ball movement I think their iso players have more in their arsenal than our Tstum and brown step back 3s  :-\

The good thing is I think it would be easier to blow out Dallas than Minny
