Gobert is not even in his stratosphere, pipe down 999guy

Hes certainly been their best player in the playoffs. Gobert and the bench once again their best lineup tonite. Time for ant to show up

Facts are facts

[BarberSchool]

Looks like the trolls got their yearly dose of reality that the DPOY is a joke and a playoff liability. And a second extra booster named Naz Reid.

Eat shit trolls!

Word.

Luka added the extra cherry on top, with:
When he said:

“HOLD THAT MOTHERFU@KAAAA !!!”
“YOU CAN’T FU@KIN GUARD ME !!!”

I don’t even like DAY-TO-DAVIS, but he deserved DPOY more this year than Toody.

[BarberSchool]

Facts are facts

It was a mere two years ago that BOTH Brunson and Luka played Toody off the floor.
How did you excuse that then ?
Similar to what you’re doing now, just blatant dishonest, shameless robotic denial ?

Factors:

- Gafford, Luckey: these are the unsung heroes on Dallas. The reason Irving and Doncic have room to maneuver is Wolves now know they will feed Gafford, Luckey for the alley-oop. This is a potent weapon that allows Dallas guards options inside the paint. These two handle the pass well and finish at the rim.

- Irving, Doncic passing: In addition to making shots, they effectively play off their bigs to create a versatile, unpredictable offense. I came into this series thinking it was going to be the old way ISO offense which the Wolves can stop cold. But instead the Mavs are playing as a team, the ball is moving and the Wolves are having a hard time keeping up.

- Edwards has crumbled under the pressure. Has totally given up on trying to drive the ball. Does not pass well under the pressure; makes poor quality passes, turnovers and passes that put his teammates in a bad position which are like turnovers. His frustration under the double-team as well his teammates not getting open, and coach's not adapting plays to this, is hurting the Wolves.

- Irving takes his game to new levels. This guy takes his game to another level in the postseason. He himself can cut through the Wolves defense on his own. I should add Doncic is playing a lot smarter than he did in his early years.

- Edwards showed his lack of composure down stretch. Wolves up 2, with as much time on shot clock as in the game. He rushed a pass, strained from double team and turned it over. Thats all the Mavs needed to shoot a 3 and win the game. He is a great player but still immature.

- Wolves stars shooting when they shouldn't. ANT and KAT shot the most for Wolves. They both shot under 30%! Credit Mavs defense but the Mavs are forcing the ball out of their hands. They should get rid of it. Gobert shot 60%, conley 50%.

Mavs have the element of surprise. They are playing better team offense and defense than they have all season. Finch needs some adjustments- the most important of which is how to score as a team when they're mobbing your stars.

You mean KAT has crumbled to the pressure.

Youre right, the Mavs are STONING Edwards anytime he dribbles inside the arc. Theyre forcing him to give it up.

That means opportunity for Towns, and he is just not that guy. See the way Kyrie takes advantage of teams pressuring Luka? That’s being that guy. Towns is a max salary player and it’s supposed to be for his offense. And yet this is what hes giving them.

Playoff KAT is who we thought Playoff KAT was.

[sd3035]

Good that this poll got closed before others could jump on the Dallas in 4-5 bandwagon

[Manny98]

Hes certainly been their best player in the playoffs. Gobert and the bench once again their best lineup tonite. Time for ant to show up
