Celtics cruising in this series.

The Pacers have no answer for J. Brown. He is such a matchup nightmare for them. JB has been our best player in this series and overall he has been great this postseason with his overall play. He had an average playoffs last year with some terrible games and TOs but he has cleaned that up. He wants it and you can see it..

True. I expect you guys to round this up in 4 or 5.

Wolves cooking from downtown

Gobert has negative offensive skill.

Will Kyrie get his thumbs out his butt or what? This game is ripe for stealing. But Luka cannot do it all by himself you gotta help

Kyrie is laying a big ass egg so far this game

Ant-Man coming up as small as an ant so far. If you talk anyhow, you will see anyhow.

He heard us

Kyrie has finally arrived

Yesss ohhh

Kyrie is going bananas, apeshit

Naz Reid is a big game player. Some people just have IT

This Naz Reid dude. Wtf

I'm not sure he has missed any 3pter. This is crazy. Not even Steph will make this many in a playoff game.

Having a reserve like this on your bench na cheat code

Kyrie missing a free throw. That's rather unusual

Game should be tied by now. Also wth is wrong with Derrick Jones? Offensive fouls, turnovers on multiple possessions. Can't not score and still be costing your team points

Kyrie turning to Ben Wallace at the free throw line. What are the odds?

Lukkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Antman don trowey ball.

Halle LUKA!!

Rudy Gobert dancing galala. Luca is a wicked person.

Ant-Man has to go back to the lab and work on his mid-range for next season.

He did the best he could .
Luka is cold blooded, nothing else I can say

Funny how Mavericks are doing to the Timberwolves what the Timberwolves did to the Nuggets and the Nuggets did to the Lakers

Basketball will always be about the matchups. I hope game 3 is as good as the last 2.

Some coaches just make their players look bad. You knew the Mavs would look for the switch to isolate Luka/ Kyrie with Gobert in that winning shot. It is an absolute mismatch, Finch should have subbed Gobert out of the game or have him sag deep that way the switch would not look for him. It was bad/ mismanagement of that final winning shot. There is nothing Gobert could have done against a great shooter/ ball handler like Luka.

We overuse the term ankle breaker but that was a real ankle breaker. If you watch it again, Gobert was a few degrees of angulation away from having minimum a severe ankle sprain.

Luka is a unique talent. I don't think i have ever seen his skillset before.

You already know that abominable donkey will stylishly slander him again.

They just set him up for failure

Gobert should have been subbed out for that last play. He played too many minutes in that 4th quarter IMO. Liability on offense individually, helped Mavs pack the paint against Ant, and was being exploited in certain spots on defense. What they were doing wasn't working, i would have tried KAT and Naz together more.

Mavs is surprising everyone.

Almost all analyst already gave the WCF to the winner of the Nuggets v Wolves series.

Lesson to all those ESPN goofies running to hand Minny the chip after they beat the Nuggets.

They for some reason don't understand that different teams pose different problems and Mavericks point of attack is different from Nuggets.

I still maintain that if the Nuggets had just one athletic big to give Jokic 10 minutes rest each game they would have beaten Minny comfortably

Lively and Gafford combined for 30pts and 14 rebounds off lobs and putbacks. 90% shooting

If I were Nuggets owner I'd fire the GM tonight for his appalling roster building

Gobert is still Wolves best rim protector. Gobert is not known for his offensive ability, KAT is the one that should be stepping up offensively like Naz Reid is doing but that man is mentally fragile.

That is what you get when you have 2 nuclear weapons that can score at all 3 levels and create for others at a high clip, and a premier defense.
And those 2 nuclear weapons are big game players.

It’s a shame Gobert will get the sticks for that final play. Finch needs to apologize to Gobert and the Wolves. He should have subbed him out.

From the moment the possession was checked in, I knew whoever got the ball (Kyrie or Luka) was going to hunt Gobert even if it meant multiple switches until he finds it.

You can’t send a 7ft 2 Center that high to defend a great shooter like Luka. Also, some of these guys need to stop with “he is defensive player of the year” as the argument he should cover everything.

Gobert won DPOY as a center, rebounding on both ends, blocking or altering shots and other dirty works under the rim.. not as a perimeter defender defending guards, they are 2 totally different types of defending.
