Shaq will still say the Mavs will only go as far as Tim Hardaway takes them

#1 content creator in the nba hand down

Slightly getting some cardio after throwing Ant's shoes from the balcony 😀

Has eveybody forgot that Anthony Edwards is a trash talker Luka plays real well against trash talkers

This has been such a fun playoffs. KD and Bron are out in 9 games combined. And the real basketball played since then has been glorious. Mavs in 6.

If Luka plays at just his average the Mavs will win. If he cant they'll lose. I believe in him though. Mavs in 6.

I’m so stupidly locked in,,, we’re in for another movie series ❗️❗️❗️

Minnesota feels like a match-up that is bad for us on paper, but somehow is good in practice. As long as Naz Reid doesn't turn into prime Steph, I'm feeling relatively confident.

It’s funny that at the start of the playoffs we were picking top seeds we would rather play and everyone either said Minnesota or maybe Oklahoma City. Now the Timberwolves look like a buzz saw and nobody’s thinks we can win. I personally don’t think the things the Timberwolves did to rattle and defeat the nuggets are going to be as effective against us. Our two best players don’t need an entry pass and are two of the most sure handed ball handlers in the league, and we don’t depend on exxagerated dribble hand off actions to create offense. I’m super proud of this team and I don’t think (unless they have a terrible collapse) I will be dissapointed in them no matter what happens but I think they have a huge chance to win this series. What I’m most excited about is with all of the talk about Anthony Edwards in the media, if Luka could outplay him and advance to the finals that would be extremely satisfying.

@Slightly this is your time to shine, all eyes will be on Mavs content creators, specially if we make the finals. Fly high brother, I remember when I discovered you and you were just some drunk delusional Cowboys fan. Time to ascend to the big leagues.

Unblock Dante Exum - I actually forgot he existed during the playoffs Also, thanks for being such a unique youtuver about the nba (and the Mavs). All other videos I watch seem the same. Slightly biased da goat

To your point, the only T-Wolves lineup that scares me is when they play KAT and Naz together and Gobert is on the bench. That's going to be really dangerous

The only one that scares me is Naz. If he shines it would be extremely difficult to beat them. Specially because I don't think they can get away with Rudy and Kat playing at the same time for most of the game against the Mavs.

This is gonna be the best WCF in a longgggggg time luka vs ant will feed generations and will probably continue happening lace em up 🔥 #MFFL

The goat we deserve

I love you slightly biased!

Anybody who counts the Mavs out just hasn't been watching them play. I'm pulling for the Wolves all the way, but this series is gonna be an all out war.

Congrats on your weight loss slightly. Looking good buddy.

Lets be real twolves in 5

..it’s Mavs in 4 until they lose!! 🐎🐎🐎

Let’s gooooo earliest I’ve ever been to a slightly video

Wow , not the kicks, man . When I hear the media is all picking the wolves , I’m reminded of 3 years ago. Everyone was picking the Suns and Devin Booker was definitely the best player in the series . Luka blew up the entire franchise. New coach (2) new owner, and when Luka steps out his back door, in Dallas , and whistles real loud . Booker jumps up and says “ I got to go, my daddy is looking for me “.

Just got my shirt wanted to say thank you for the high quality shit

What aaa wiin. Too bad we couldn't celebrate with you SLIGHTLY. Looking forward to next video

Fire outro as always

We need maxi!!!

Mavs in 6

dude you were in Gooders video on his fan cam

I remember when slightly discussed Giddey even before the playoff started that he will be unplayable. Turns out, he's right.

When Gobert hit that middy, the series was over LOL

Great show Napes, never go anywhere

We need maxi back bad!

I've gotta agree with the prediction. This is the matchup i wanted as a basketball fan (More Anthony Edwards), but as a Mavs fan, it's gonna be brutal. I think if the Wolves try to play straight up defense and don't blitz Luka or Kyrie, the Mavs have a real shot at it. And after how well the TWolves played in the previous two round, they may be arrogant enough to do that for a game or two, and give the Mavs JUST ENOUGH window to win in 7 games.

Thanks man .. love you thoughts!!

Glad you watch games unlike other nba media out there, no one is giving us a shot in every series but my Mavs keeps proving them wrong. If twolves beat a healthy Luka then they are the champs. A healthy Luka and a fair officiating is all I ask.

Good video. The comments from narrative fans who still think Gobert and KAT are bad defenders make me laugh. They're in for a wake up call. Gobert: 1st in defensive win shares this year KAT: 7th best defensive rating this year, ahead of Anthony Davis. I could go on, but the easiest way to tell someone doesn't actually watch Wolves game in years is they believe the old narratives about KAT and Gobert.

Slightly is legendary

I watched a Bill Simmons podcast for the first time today. 3:00 minutes in, they said the word "piece" 27 times.

Im ready for this

I’ve predicted mavs in 6 both series so far. I think mavs in 5 this series, feel like we’re gonna reach another level

I can say one thing Ant and others better not say anything bad or being cocky this series because last thing you want is to unlock super mad Luka Doncic with a focus to destroy you mode.

Yes Mr. Biased. Yes.

Being from Minnesota I am pulling for the Wolves. After 30 years of disappointment, actually my entire life in all sports. LOL. I am very excited about this series the Mavs are a very good team and will be a tough matchup. It should be a great series. I like your analysis.

This is the finals !

I hope this is a contest!

If either Luka or Kyrie gets double teamed against Minnesota, then the role players are gonna have to step up to the plate and knock down their shots. I agree with Slightly about the Mavs chances in this series though. This is not the same teak that Minnesota faced earlier this year. The roster construction has completely changed to a default. I also believe that Maxi Kleber is the biggest X factor in this series because its like what Slightly said. You can go small with Maxi or pair him up with Gafford or Livley at the 4. I do believe that this Mavericks team is going to shock alot of doubters in this series and I personally believe that we can win this series in 6 games. Also I need to see Kyrie Irving get hot early and often in this series because this getting cold and hot stuff isnt how you win championships. Kyrie knows that he has to do better and I agree that he is gonna breakout in this series.

What happened to the Game 1 livestream?

LMAO with your intros !!,😂😂😂

Mavs in 6 lets go!

I predicted all Dallas series in this post-season 4-2, so i will stick with that! 🙏

Jaden McDaniels made 2nd team all defense. Probably should have been first team.

Jeez Slightly, how many floors does your mansion have?

We definitely gon play zone too

Mavs are coming in as an unknown after the transfer deadline, Gafford and PJ have been a godsend.

What happened to our boy Slightly's stream?

worst case scenario a team we all like makes it to the finals in the wolves. best case the mavs make it. go mavs tho!

What happened to game 1 stream?

Bro gimme those shoes

I’m locked in and ready to go Mr.biased

I’m telling you right now the tipping point in this series is Dallas loosing a game and ant talking trash to Luka. Luka gone come back and finish it. All that trash talk ain’t gone work on Luka it’s only going to fuel him.

As a mavs fan, SGA is better than Ant.

MFFL here. The Timberwolves have earned the right to be the favorites due to their regular season performance and the fact that they unseated the defending champs. That said I really like the Mavs matchups with the Wolves and think they area well positioned for an “upset” as long as Luka’s health is not an issue.

By the looks of all the things and what I’ve learned this postseason and all the years I’ve been analyzing basketball. (I work for a Sports Network in 🇵🇭). I don’t think it’s gonna be a close series at all. I think if Mavs win game 1 (which they almost always lose but still win the series) it’s gonna be a sweep but if not it will go 5 or 6 at most. Luka and Kyrie cannot be contained at the same time plus the corner threes and stepping up of Dallas role players is too much for the Wolves who has many offensive holes. Dallas also has one of the best Defense this postseason. I watched every game from both teams this post season and I think the Mavs will be too much for the Wolves defensively and more so offensively. Luka will toy with Gobert and anyone in front of him, More experienced Kyrie will dance around young Edwards and Dallas Role players will step up as the focus is on the back court duo.

KAT is the X-factor in this series. If he can get 20 ppg the Wolves will take the series. He was in foul trouble against the Suns and Nuggets because he had to guard KD and Jokic. KAT and Rudy will help off their defenders against Luka and Kyrie and the other will be the weak side help rotation off the help. The Mavs don’t have a 4/5 that can create their own shots. The Wolves have enough perimeter defenders with length to throw at Luka and Kyrie that it’ll keep ANT fresh to get at least 30 per game. The Wolves also have the length to contest and disrupt the Mavs 3pt shooting. That’s something that the Clippers and OKC did not have. I got the Wolves in 6.

I feel like KAT kills the Mavs historically. Im not as confident as I was going into the OKC series.

Can we have slightly on ESPN plz 😂😂

Ik bro had someone down there ready to catch them shoes 😂

Wolves in four! J/k probably six.

Better analysts than all of espn

A battle between the Beauty and the Beast...

Been watching both teams closely. While I do agree Wolves haven’t face a defense like the Mavs. What they have been able to do in locking down KD, Booker, Beal, Jokic, Murray. That’s impressive. This is the best defense Luka and Kyrie are facing. I think the Mavericks playing OKC and Clippers showed two teams that aside from zubac and Chet. Those two teams didn’t have elite rebounders or size outside of that. Wolves do have a loaded front court in Kat and Gobert. Not to mention I haven’t heard in this video talking about sixth man of the year Naz Reid. He’s a two way center / pf who can score, shoot, defend and rebound. He torched Jokic in pick and roll and they will prob run some plays on him with Luka. Biggest thing for Mavs is the role players. PJ Washington continue to shoot well, can Derrick jones jr continue to defend and score, can hardway jr score and shoot. Mavs have more offensive depth while wolves have more defensive depth.

I think ant calling out kyrie will have t wolves struggling

KATs defense on Jokic was the reason the Nuggets lost, is didn’t have much to do with the others relatively. KAT is the best player this playoffs for the Wolves

Mann that intro. Seriously?😂😂😂

VAMOS MAVS

Need to trust the defensive scheme that has gotten us past Clippers and OKC, no doubling and let the paint help be the deterrent and live with the opposing star having to go wildly efficient/deadly from midrange.

it can also be a sweep if Kyrie keeping that close out record. if we do get those first 2 games in Minnesota , believe that we aint giving them no chance if we go up. on GOD, because they are a very very very good team.

UNC UNSUPPORTING HIS NEPHEW WOW

Luka is the truth of BB. It's time. Mavs need Kleber badly, I hope he'll recover fast enough. If Exum finds himself again, it could be interesting.

Im locked in 🫡

Mavs do have to worry about Kat and Naz shooting 3s. They are 50/40/90 players so to think they couldnt go with a lineup of Mike Conley, Ant, Jaden, Kat and Naz. Who would the mavs make shoot the 3 out of that? Jaden? Look how well that worked out for the Nuggets

U got a new camera?????????

Wanna double your net worth? Take everything you have in the bank and get the biggest loan you can and put it all on the Timberwolves If maxi isn’t back it’s gonna be a sweep

I got my tickets for game 3 & 4 locked and ready! LFFFGGGGGGG #MFFL

True to your name on this take. Minnesota in 6

Naz Reed worries me, also I think our bigs will be negated. No lob city this time

Bruh, okc was easily the mavs best matchup. They can't clog the lanes against those big ass wolves like they did to beat the thunder

Wolves in 5 Well🥴

Mavs in 5!

Man the wolves road is crazy. First the Nuggets now the Mavs. Either team that makes it is going to need to be commended for this play off season.

Mavs in 5, I dnt give a dam!

The refereeing will be so biased towards T-Wolves that it won't be even funny. Shai and Edwards are everyone's golden boys. It will be hard to pay against wolves and referees.

That 7.1 statistic is misleading isn’t it? Isn’t everyone’s offensive rating down in playoffs vs regular season?

i feel like the nuggets were beat like they were because one, they have the best player in the league to throw at jokic in gobert even tho nobody can truly shut down joker. also the wolves were good enough to keep a borderline all star guard from going insane. but how will they contain two SUPER STAR generational guards ?? gobert is the key to their defense and the second he’s pulled into help them boys are throwing lobs to lively etc and if he doesn’t help that’s easy buckets for both luka and kyrie. that being said kyrie will have to play out of his mind to win this series. lukas presence will draw defenders whether he’s going insane or not but kyrie takes a backseat sometimes and he’ll need to step up to what we’ve seen him do before to beat this crazy good wolves team

AGREED! STAY AWAY FROM CAFFEINE AND STIMULANTS DURING THIS SERIES BROTHA! Mavs will provide all the adrenaline and MOJO! GO MAVS!!

First time all postseason luka has played against a small frame PG this is where brother cooks. CP3, Pat Bev, and also MIKE CONELY in 2022. Luka either averaging 40 or Mike Conley will ride the bench most of this series

Im not feeling confident about this series at all man. Maxi’s health is the biggest thing to me. We need his defense bad. Need to lock in tho, Mavs in 5.

I respect the Suns and the Nuggets for what they accomplished, but they are not known for their defenses. The Mavericks are. In fact, I think they were so good the past 4-5 months that their ranking there improved from 22 or 23 to top 10. Also, does anyone really expect Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal to win an NBA Final? The Nuggets are great, but if you can contain the Joker and their 3-point shooting, you will probably win against them. The Mavericks have greater paint presence, LuKai will drive and don't care, Luka will literally eat you up if you trash talk him, Dereck Jones Jr and PJ Washington are emerging, and Kidd is a master of adjustments especially after game 1s. Also, the Mavericks have much better offense than the Timberwolves. I am just saying that it will NEVER be as easy as some people make it out to be for the Timberwolves. Luka will die if it means winning the Finals and this series is no different.

Lets go mavs (first)

The more I think about this series the more confident I become with the matchup. I think OKC is more of a problem offensively than the Wolves matchup-wise. Game1 is going to be an automatic loss though unfortunately.
