Western Conference Finals: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs. (5) Dallas Mavericks

Then Conley will be stuck on 6'7 DJJ. I guess we'll see what happens. Not sure who’s guarding Luka. Mcdaniels is nice but compared to Dort he's a lightweight and exactly the type Luka can body.

mcDaniels length gets taken out of the equation if you get into his spindly, weak 185lb body. Luka was 230 as a rookie and keeps getting fatter. He’s 250-255 currently. Was as high as 264 in 2022-2023. Luka posting up OFTEN AF would be exactly what Dallas needs more of from here on out.

Doncic is able to hit the open man if they try to send help defense too. While McDaniels will not be able to keep doncic from his spots on the block, we will have to see if his length can make up for it and still bother him, even if Luka gets deep position,

No Conley is bad news for Minny, but seems as if he will be able to play.

Luka putting some early fouls on McDaniels would give Minny all kind of problems, then who guards Kyrie and do you put KAT on Luka then?

Nickeil, ant, conley. Lots of options.

I happen to share this sentiment, tho I also feel like Pierce is someone whose predictions make sense to bet against.

Nickeil and Conley are much too small. Ant can probably guard him ok, but then will spend a lot of energy on defense.

I'm never betting against Luka (and Kyrie).

They will adjust and hang in there. A couple of bounces in or out. Depends on the whistle.

People are overrating the Wolves a bit now and forget they had a very favorable whistle in 2 games. They're out if not for that whistle.

Conley can spend some time on kyrie and nickeil can spend time on both. They have lots of options made easier with the best defender of his generation

minny or dallas? to travel to. i'm a lot closer to dallas but i've already been there. never been to minny. tho i feel like im going to be the only mexican in minny, whereas i'd be one of a couple million in dallas. plus dallas has rodeos and i love horses, their food is probably way better than anything minny can offer but minny probably has hotter chicks. hmmm.
