Oh, we have them, but Luka has to be better than his injuries, and Ky has to be way better than he was at any point versus the Thunder.

We learned in the OKC series that Lively can play against 5 out.

Which is crazy to say because Luka is the best offensive player in the league and Kyrie has an argument to be top 15.
And I am also terrified they don't have enough against MIN.

I doubt Kidd gives him any burn.

It’s crazy man, because the other three games I watched were nothing like the second half. Jokić made them all look like absolute babies in the paint during those three victories.
He just ran out of gas today.

Everyone is selling our Mavs short. Luka looked healthy the last 2 games. We shouldn't be scared of anyone. We have the best player left in the playoffs and are playing great at the right time. TWolves have to stop us too. It works both ways. I like the Mavs against the TWolves.

Aren't you the same guy who wanted to rest Luka in G1??

Tim Connelly built both teams. Kinda ironic he built a team to beat his old one.

Great job Minny. You won it more than Denver lost it. Denver looked worn down late. Porter struggled all series and Denver’s bench was not very good all year.
I wonder who Minny guards Kyrie with? Conley is a good defender but may allow Kyrie to get more space. Do they try Edwards on him?
Should be a fun series

Finch made great adjustments after Jokic destroyed Gobert in game four. Nuggets lost the last two games because they couldn't figure out how to take advantage of double teams. Just couldn't create an open look despite the numerical advantage with two guys on Jokic.

lol Omax is hurt. Even if he was healthy, he is not ready.

I'll say one thing - I like our chances against the Wolves a lot more if Kidd sets aside that spot-the-other-team-a-game thing in Game 1.

Lol, the lose game 1 and then win in 6 method has gotten them this far!

Edwards just said "my matchup is Kyrie, so we'll see what I can do against him."

Kai needs to assert himself as still being the alpha over the young pup for us to win the series.

It's nice of the NBA and NHL to finally get their shit together and not playing the Mavs and Stars on the same damn nights at the same fucking times!!!
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - dirkfansince1998 - 05-19-2024
I think the Mavs have a good chance against the Wolves if they can hit their 3s. Just like in the OKC series. If they are ice cold there is little Kyrie and Luka can do when Minnesota has twin towers in the paint.

Mavs in 6.
