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

[FultzNationRISE]

Minny are up, but I get the feeling that they've been made to play too basic an offense that doesn't maximize KAT or Ant.

3 pointers have variance and it went Minny's way, but there's been very little midrange or post game from Ant, few drives to the basket. Minny forced into playing like Harden Rockets.

Mavs should get some more calls at home and that would help.

Yeah Mavs can neutralize Ant with extra bodies any time they want, he doesnt have the size to just walk people down like Doncic. And he doesnt have a Kyrie Irving he can pass it off to like Doncic, so the onus is on Ryan Anderson and Jaden McDaniels to make shots. Which they did and the Wolves are still barely winning.

The Mavs have to feel encouraged. Its a lot more likely Irving and Doncic keep their scoring up than Anderson and McDaniels. And I honestly think Dallas has a pretty good plan for keeping Ant/KAT from going off

Gobert is such a dirty player.

KAT

Gobert is such a dirty player.

Yep.

Didn't know he was this dirty. Just non-stop dirty plays and it's 100% deliberate. Frenchie is a cheat like frenchies are won't to be.

Luka trying hard to sell Kyrie’s carry job.

Luka doing his James Harden impression for 3 consecutive plays.

Good no-call on the ant drive

Funny that Domino's cuts their slices larger and promotes it as NY style.

[90sgoat]

Needed that 3 from Green.

Dallas isn’t shooting all that well, missing a lot of shots they normally make. Especially Luka ice cold from 3.

But both Kyrie and Luka are murking the drop coverage.
Minnesota also isn’t getting the horrifically unfair whistle it got for some stretches (and all of game 2) against Denver.

I was surprised they didn’t bail out Ant, on that drive that wound up getting challenged and wound up out off Ant fingertips.
Another challenge out off ant…..
Dallas can steal this one.
