I don't like this one bit.

I think Mavs match up much better against Denver.

Struggle to see a matchup advantage here for Mavs. Will need to see peak Luka Magic for them to win.

This right here baby.



This is how we get them.

[FireDavidKahn]

Mavs don't scare me at all like Denver did.

Wolves in 6

Mavs in 6 :pimp:

I think they deserve it

[Real Men Wear Green]

Dallas will have to do some cross-matching and hide Irving and Doncic from Edwards defensively. And he's still going to be a wrecking ball. Jayden McDaniels will also be made to look like a superstar because Doncic or Irving will have to guard him. Dallas better have something clever cooking because the personnel is a bad match up.

This.

Mavs dont have the length advantage they had in the first two rounds. Thats really what their trump has been. Minnesota D is gonna frustrate Luka and I could see him melting down frequently and getting tossed from a game or two after going 5/17.

Wont be SHOCKED if Dallas comes out on top somehow, but my gut says Minny is the rightful favorite.

[Proctor]

I like Washington but I can't see a way that he has a great series in this one...and without that, they will lose unless Kyrie goes 30ppg mode.

[NBAGOAT]

Wolves in 7. Expect Kyrie to score more with defensive focus on Luka. Yea edwards and McDaniels are great perimeter guys but it’s Kyrie he can score on anyone when right. Won’t have a great series but will score more than 14ppg and he’s playing best defense of his career. Also, minny has scoring issues still and Dallas defense has been incredible post pj/gafford trades. I don’t think the Minnesota role guys will play as well as people think. Always one rim protector out there with pj Washington who can guard bigs and Derrick jones who can guard wings. lukas even giving great effort
