[@raycutler2524]

If dort couldn't lock up luka, mcdaniels ain't doing anything to luka

[@JesseWhite-py4bd]

@@tuneunleashed And no putting Jaden on Kyrie wouldn’t be better. Jaden on Luka is best because of his length and if the offense isn’t slacking he’d be able to make freak plays and negate the PnR a little bit better. Also, Ant doesn’t need to guard Kyrie, if I’m the wolves I’d let him conserve his energy and don’t put him on kyrie until clutch time. I’d rather have Ant on DJJ so he can play passing lanes and run in transition. I like that Ant has a switch where he can play very aggressive at times, and make timely shots, but he doesn’t have the experience to be shifting his energy on Offense and Defense this early in his Playoff Career. Minnesota will ultimately lose because they can’t run the Pick and roll. This is a great team, but until they realize “Hey we’re bigger than everyone, we can attack the paint” they’ll fall short. That cute 3 point play is not for the playoffs. Kobe told James Harden that and it’s still true.

That game 7 in high altitude drained them. them boys going to be moving like machines once they get some rest. The fact they kept it close shows they will win the series.

Edwards was drained after the game. It wasn't from chasing old Irving, but more from chasing the game itself. Kobe used to do that before he learned that the harder you chase it, the farther it tends to get away from you. Game 2 will have a different winner.

[@sirronlinton133]

Ant-Man’s exhaustion can be attributed to his aggressive offensive playstyle, which involved excessive dribbling and driving into crowded lanes. These actions not only led to turnovers but also required a significant amount of physical exertion, contributing to his fatigue. To address this issue, I think Ant-Man needs to simplify his offensive game. On the defensive end, exerting energy to stop opposing players is required. So he needs to find ways to conserve his energy.

@@sribble1 That’s their offense. They don’t have any actions that allow for off ball movement. It’s mostly ISO ball and Swinging the rock for mismatches. But dallas just works harder, they switch everything on defense and even if you have a favorable matchup, you have 2 athletic forward (PW, DJJ) helping Jason Kidd also has one of the greatest rotations that I’ve ever seen. They have Lively and Gafford alternating and both attacking the boards, rim protecting, and finishing at a high level for 4 quarters. Their backup guards also bring good playmaking a end on defense Dallas can run the pick and roll with anyone on their roster. That’s the difference. Minnesota has 3 bigs who are athletic but nobody is trying to run the PnR. Conley is the only guy on that team who can but they don’t for some reason. Ultimately the difference is coaching. Kidd played in the NBA and has 2 All time greats for PGs. Ant man will be great but he doesn’t have the playmaking ability to pick apart the Mavs in a playoff setting. Also somebody needs to tell him stay off of Kyrie. He’s better as a help guy or playing the passing lanes. KYRIE WILL GET 30 no matter who’s guarding him. Save your energy so you can score more that 19 points.

The tiredness reminds me of the Vikings after the Minneapolis Miracle. Thankfully this is a 7 game series

[@SMARTS_YT]

All of y’all talking about ANT when KAT was the player that played horrible. 7 feet tall and shoots 6-20 and 2-9. 7 rebounds and 3 assists. That’s a cost if you ask me.

[@1crenshaw488]

Dude Tired is not an excuse Edward, folks pay alot of money for you to perform, you looked days out their, you are the reason I came back to the NBA lets keep it that way!, Dont let us down and move on to Vicory!

[@mckinleythomas881]

I feel like Anthony talking too much telling the opposite team their game plans for one and again motivating the other team who is giving this young man his talking points at 22 you are tired eat right train right get rest be happy😅😅😅

[@randygervaciorosado7290]

As soon as the Mavs won by 3 points, the game was decided at the end and the Wolves were not good in shooting. That says that the Wolves could have won approximately 125-108 if they hadn't had so many missed shots and still lost by 3 points. I still trust the Wolves, it's just about leaving the hazing of the playoffs and playing more organized.

Caption spoiled the results before I could watch the highlights. DAMNIT.

[@lindag6689]

Ant needed to lose to humble him. I see a lot of promise in him, but he needs to leave the cockiness at the door.

[@papasamba452]

I think this defeat does us more good than a win would. You know why ? Beating the champions nuggets has created a lot of excitement, much more than needed, and we felt like every matchup would be easy after, which is wrong. So losing this first game to the mavs will have the effect of bringing our heads and feets back to earth, specially for the players. Good thing.

[@francisabongo2614]

Plus how does a defeat do more good than win? That's blasphemy. That reverse psychology thing won't work in this case. Well see how good that loss was after we are eliminated

Ant party too hard after the game 7 win against Denver.

[@Drfresh1402]

Wolves don't seem to take the Mavs seriously. If they don't play with the same intensity against them, they will lose this series. And yes, Wolves did came out flat.

[@FaygoFiend0]

I think they can take game 2 if they stop dropping off screens and trap Kyrie. This is gonna be another banger series

[@glend5990]

Even Kyrie said he wants to run on them after playing 7 Games that their legs will be tired, during the in game side interview

[@lvpradagucci5539]

Kyrie is different nobody can guard him ant they call him uncle drew for a reason

[@russellmason5095]

If a player shoots 60% in every game of their career (admittedly high) and then he hits 3/5 shots in the first quarter, 4/5 in the second, 2/5 in the third and 3/5 in the 4th, then the journalists will ask a question like: what did you do so differently in the second quarter from the third? Like the player suddenly decided to start dribbling and shooting with the other hand or ate a bucket of donuts off camera.

[@edwardthames9003]

Both those guys are young but handle these interviews like seasoned vets. The problem was that Kyrie decided to show why all those talking heads that tried to count him out don't know basketball like he does. There was one play where he was guarding Ant and as soon as Ant stepped back to get in shooting motion Kyrie stepped up and threw his rhythm off forcing him to pass. Kyrie s movement on that play was cat quick and seemed to stun Ant. It's like he was thinking "what the hell was that". Kyrie's approach to and understanding of the game is unmatched. It's like he knows the movements of other players and practices defensive counters like he does offensive ones. His game is so cerebral and I think most don't see that but I do.

[@7harrylime]

Nobody even asked Ant about his “I got Kyrie” comments after he got cooked? Cowards.

[@SunnyDeeTangy]

Is it just me or every time I see Rudy play he slacking.. he isn’t boxing out , he isn’t running or playing aggressively he definitely hasn’t been a DPOY caliber this playoffs it’s disappointing… and I’m sure it’s been noticed in that locker room . I agree 100% with Gil he NEEDS to be benched

[@mckinleythomas881]

I 100 °agree about Rudy he don't play like a center he seems like he don't know how to reserve his energy he don't seem to use his height at his advantage at times

[@tylerthomas6235]

The refs robbed Kat with that putback dunk, The Wolves will be back. It’s so weird how they’ve been better away so far

I feel like sometimes when you play homecourt you’ve got so much pressure on you…to me if I were playing away I would be so motivated lol compared to playing at home.

Uncle Drew

[@Stopthecap24]

ky too crafty hes too hard to gaurd

[@deomartinez77]

The Timberwolves lost this game because they purposely went for the harder points instead of the more efficient points ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. They are bigger and better in the post but instead of repeated post ups and going for the 3 as a last resort, they went for the 3 almost every single time. This kept Dallas in the game. They did this same stupid crap against the Nuggets too. If they hope to win the series they have get 70% of their points from the post-up, the lay-up & the pick and pop in the lane. That's all Dallas did; and only Kyrie was able to pull off the lay-up with real consistency!

[@144Souldier]

Luka and kyrie is tough match up. Cant stop both of them. I dont think they will both drop 30 a piece the whole series but if they do my boy ant man and timberwolves going home.
