My bad.

I should have gone to the first 2 pages.

I only got here by clicking on a notification that I was tagged in a post.

Well now that you are in the thread......I hate your view on certain basketball topics.

I love your team.

Antman gonna be a monster for years to come.

I just don’t trust Towns in the playoffs.

Lucky for you, y’all found a diamond in the rough in Reid.

KAT can pull a Clipper choke move and you can still win because you have a team to prop his ass up.

ANT had a horrible shooting night.

KAT damn near fouled out.

Your team still knocked out the champs

Kudos.

I’m still taking the Mavs…lol

Well shit, I agree with all of these except the last one.

For several years, I have seen the evil that Luka is capable of….lol

You have several guys that you can throw at him.

So did OKC.

Unfortunately, it was the others that stepped up and won the first 2 series for the Mavs.

The bench production will decide this series.

I think Jaden McDaniels is best equipped to slow down Luka, not stop, but have impact on the game. That guy is an absolute beast defensively.

Even mental KAT can’t fuck it up Vs mavs

I can see them rotating Edward’s, Mcdaniels and NAW onto Luka, with Mcdaniels being the primary defender.

Shit, Luka isn’t the swiftest fella.

In a pinch, maybe give SloMo a stint just to see if his size can bother him.

You have the Wolves in how many games?

I’m too lazy to go back and look.

The Wolves go a legit 2 deep at every position.

If Ant goes GAWD mode again, might not matter what anyone else contributes.

I’m still leaning Mavs, even with a gimp Luka because they are winning with a mostly sub par Kyrie.

That guy is due for a monster series.

If Wolves have nowhere to put Conley Kyrie could be in for a huge series.

That's the often forgotten factor with Luka, his size. Still, that's a lot of options to wear him down and he's already a bit hobbled. Should be interesting to see. We'll see if Jones and PJ can keep it up. Kyrie could be a bigger factor, he slumped a bit last series.

Tbh probably 5.

Mavs are meh. At some point luka will out cry KAT so that edge is gone.

And when your best big is PJ Washington. You’re in big trouble against a team that outbigged Jokic.

Gafford and Likely can have big impacts as well, they just aren't go-to scoring options.

Gotta stay out of foul trouble.

They chase every single shot.

Rudy is a lob threat only.

Naz and KAT can shoot and both have pretty decent mobility.

PJ is going to have to guard at a high level without fouling.

Knocking a girl up, paying her 100k to get an abortion, claiming he still loved her, then ghosting when she did it.

Mature beyond his years is a possibility on this one.

Obviously didnt see last night's 4th quarter where the Wolves had Gobert as the primary ball handler and shooting turnaround 15ft jump shots.

Strangest quarter from the Wolves all season and I still cant believe it all worked out for us. Edwards deferring to Gobert. I KNEW that was the key to victory all along.

Wolves are VERY susceptible to lobs because of the way their bigs help when players penetrate. Lively had a very good game against us early in the season in a win.

Yeah, Bro.

I’m catching strays.

 

[msgkings322]

Wolves Defense has been spectacular. Fascinating series ahead

Was good all year. Dallas not bad either, likely another 6-7 gamer with close to even teams like the 2nd round series they both just won

Minnesota in 7
