I welcome a series vs Dallas especially with Luka hobbled.

But KP is needed.

The threes by Kyrie (to cut the lead to 2) and Luka (to win it) were clutch! That’s my only concern with Dallas. They have the big shot makers. But yeah, as long as KP is there, we should be good.

we matchup great with dallas  we aint scared

we swept KYRIE and DURANT

simialr situation.

C's in 6 in finals
Kyrie is not the same guy. Also, as was the case when we played Golden State, I’m not sure we have the best player in the series.

That’s always a problem.

The J's are better then those two. Dallas will not be able to guard the C's like they can this average Minnesota offense.

Wooowwwww, what a choke job by Minny.

And yet another subpar game by Ant, who both has the game-losing turnover and passes it up instead of taking the last shot. Perhaps the media designated him as the face of the league a little too early? Was such a ridiculous narrative that over-exaggerated this kid on a good two series.
If Luka wasn't such a whiner, he'd already be the face of the league, but it is him.  Likely favorite for MVP next year as well.  Doesn't mean Boston won't beat them in Finals, but Luka Legend is here.

As much as I dislike Luka, he definitely has much more of a case than Ant. Ant could eventually get there, but this all is very premature at this point.

Where was KAT? Isn’t he supposed to be their 2nd best star? Did he injure himself?
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

How many dunks did Dallas get? Answer – way too many.

Minnesota shot their wad vs Denver
They don’t know how to make winning plays in this series

Dallas would struggle defensively vs Boston

Edwards now averaging 20.2ppg on 49.4% True shooting over the last five games.

Just not good enough from the next MJ.

Yeah, Minny's offense has really come back to Earth after playing two series way over its head. Dallas' improved D definitely has something to do with that, too.

These two games all I can notice is all these wide open great looks Dallas are bricking yet they are up 2-0.

Ya Luka's incredible. 6 years in the league and he has 5 all-nba first teams and 5x all star.

Anthony Edwards is great, he'll be even better when he's 25, but the rush to crown him at age 22 was wildly stupid.

had we not been young and dumb and committed 20 turnovers a game we woulda won at least 3 against GS. maybe won it all. we blew game 4. that series easily shoulda went 7.

Also, this game is an example of why I’ve never been a KAT fan.

Can’t decide who has a lower BBIQ , KAT or Julius Randall. Tough one. I’m leaning KAT
