„The 2 Franchise Players“ hes literally calling them better than Gobert, thus the higher standard.

To be fair the Suns have zero rim protection. Nuggets same thing. Dallas actually has athletic 7 foot centers. Ant is a dark skinned Westbrook he relies on slashing forays into the paint and this team can hang.

he hasn't been attacking the rim. he's been grabbing his knees these past 2-3 games and waiting for someone to pass him the ball so he can predictably shoot a contested 3 since he's too tired/injured to even move. this series might be different if he wasn't so tired.

Why would he be more tired than kyrie or Luka? Kyrie and Luka have played more playoff games this year. And Luka is way more banged up he's out here moving like a snail. But sniping nigg@s no scope. He got too arrogant after beating Denver even after shooting 25% in Game 7.

Wait a second. No way the 4th year player making $13M is expected to outproduce the 11th year player making $41M.

During the season Minnesota struggled with offensive execution, particularly late in games. In the first two rounds it looked like they had gotten past that but now the problem has come back with a vengeance.
They don't seem to have an answer to the Mavs interior D. That and their inability to guard Luka makes me wonder what they can do now.
The final scores have been close due to 3 pt shooting. Just like Minnesota was a bad matchup for Denver, it looks like Dallas is a bad matchup for them.
