Townes always fkn sucked, these 0layers who cant even take a team to playoffs by them selves are not it! He is a lavine, a devin booker, beal, if clips had kawhi we know what the outcome is cause we seen it twice. Pg13 same fkn sht. Clips took yall to the max without a top 5 player , add him you wouldnt be saying sht. Unfortunately injuries are part of the game. Luka is so hard to watch, with all the crying about refs, if they chamge the rules hed be great still but not like he is! And clips proved thay back when he couldnt hit free throws, fkn lost. Nba and their fans are so fukn watered down.

Perk... you finally said something that makes sense. "Start KAT at the 5 with Naz Reid and have Gobert come off the bench.....". As a Mavs fan, i have no fear of KAT shooting 3s, nor of Gobert guarding the lane, and even tho Ant will get his, the guy we fear most is Naz!!! So your idea is 1.) "something different" since they have already tried everything else, 2.) keeps KAT at the 5, where he can be effective on both ends of the floor, and 3.) gets more minutes for Reid on the floor....... my prediction? Hellooo Dwight Powell! I think he will make an impact tonight.......

When theres no perimeter pressure your paint defense is compromised. Edwards, Conley and McDaniels to me are the biggest reason they about to get swept. Games 1 and 2 with the game on the line Edwards went completely missing in the close out moments while getting cooked every step of the way by Kyrie. Dallas dont have no dominate big but they sure do have elite guards. The Wolves guards are terrible.

They don't care what type of scheme or players you put in front of them - especially now that the Mavs roster is equipped with everything Lukai need. All in all the Wolves did good considering the offensive force and defensive commitment they are facing.

You guys hyped Anthony Edwards so much you now feel obligated to give him a pass. Last 6 games of the playoffs Ant is averaging: 21 pts (5 of the FT), 36 FG%, 26 3P%, and a +/- of 3.8. These are not the stats of a superstar that is supposed to carry the team when others are not delivering! He is just incapable of taking over like Lebron, Steph, Giannis, Luka and Kyrie can or could!

@dwaynehiler5735 Ай бұрын

Plus/minus stat is actually a bad stat. Very convoluted, and does not reflect how the person is playing. U can do everything perfectly, and your team does terrible and the other team makes thier shots and you'll have a bad plus/minus even tho u played perfectly. U can play terrible and your team can play perfect and/or the other team just misses all their shots and you'll have a great plys/minus even tho u played terribly.
