Series Thread: 3) T'Wolves vs. 5) Mavericks

Montalban/Brightboat doesn't know a god damned thing about basketball lol

Yep

Edwards is the league’s best player in my opinion

 

[Duffman]

He's the real MVP. Best player on the court in the 2023-2024 season.

I’m not sure what Dray adds to the TNT crew. Good thing it is only for the playoffs.

Luka has an MVP, Embiid has 2. Jokic might not even have one. I didn't go back and rerun that year yet.

Fixing the NBA one post at a time.

His agent got him in there??

That show sucks anyway. Glad it's ending. Just a bunch of idiots hearing themselves talk.

Yep. He’s much better on a podcast where he can play favorites as he likes to do. On a national telecast, you’re supposed to project a lack of bias and just provide analysis.

Draymond was on John Wall’s podcast the other day and he said Joe Lacob told him he wants Dray to eventually be head coach of the Warriors. So maybe he’ll go into coaching instead of broadcasting

 

[Brightboat]

Yep

He certainly has taken a precipitous drop off since early in the playoffs. Fooled me

 

[trojanfan12]

I guess you, like your buddy, missed the part where I said the Mavs also had a bit more luck on their side too.

But hey, that's cool, no worrries...and btw: earlier I also mentioned that Minny missed too many FT's...which was also a factor in a 1 point final score differential.

They should have wanted to make those free throws more.

I can’t see him in that spot. He’s not built like a coach. He has no filter.

If you had told me going in that this stat would exist after 2 games, I’d have been a bit skeptical.

[redskinsfan1963]

luka drilled that last fucking shot.

Wolves stars are struggling and their role players are thriving.

Mavs stars are thriving and their role players are struggling.

That is the difference in this series. If Ant plays like Ant again I think this still becomes a series.

@Mecca loved Lively coming into the draft

Problem for the wolves tho is one of their “stars”

Is dogshit.

KAT isn’t just magically gonna become a killer 9 years into his career. He is who Jimmy said he was.

I thought you were talking about ANT falling apart and not showing up for the last 5-6 games only reaching 20 points once in that time.

I was talking about both, hockey was just being wrong. That is his way.

Easy to see why.

The kid just works his ass off and is relentless doing it. His basketball IQ is terrific and he meshes so well.

He’ll be a bargain for a couple of years. And there’s no doubt a max deal is waiting after his rookie contract is up.
