Chuck is right. Luka should play game 4 if he's even 70% healthy. You don't want this series extending to 6 or 7 games, and then have Luka play all those games. Rather he play in game 4 on a minutes restriction and Dallas close out Minnesota so they get 9-10 days of rest.

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

I get Chuck's point. But all you "tough guys" will probably think he's soft (like Shaq and Chuck here). I wouldn't rule him out completely, but if they win game 3 and get off to a great start in game 4, I wouldn't play him after the first quarter. He's right. Luka's out there playing hurt. If they can afford to let him rest and give him as much time to recover as possible, they should. But again, the prerequisites are the should win game 3 and they should have a good start in game 4.

Sit out? What a horrible tactic. Why not start strong in the first half, blow these Wolves out early and manage Luka's minutes in the 2nd.

[@rohanshah7559]

Not a bad idea… have Kyrie and Luka go 100% right off the bat, and see if the bench can coast the late game

[@Mystra]

Both wrong. Go 100% whole game. And then rest for 9 days. Simple.

[@d-p_]

It’s like rock, paper, scissors. Denver beats Dallas, Dallas beats Minnesota, and Minnesota beats Denver. That is what Barkley is saying.

[@SDesWriter]

He's wrong though. You can see from Dallas' defense that they would have been even tougher for Denver to score on. The only advantage Denver has is Joker and the lobs to Lively and Gafford would have been RAINING all series long. Nobody on the team can cover Luka, nobody can cover Kyrie. Kyrie could clamp down Murray WAY better than Edwards did (especially with him limited by the injury). Denver has no bench and Dallas would have gotten all the open looks they could want for Jones, PJ, and Green.

[@sabman3321]

Just because he keeps saying Denver would beat Dallas doesn't make it true. Dallas is running through everyone!

[@holikdenv]

@@SDesWriter Wolves were built for stopping Denver specifically. They didn't prepare for Luka and Kyrie. Simple as that. Training tactic development takes a lot of time and effort, you can't just figure it out in a couple of weeks. It's developing in front of our eyes.

Chuck looks like a genius for this take after game 3... the Wolves were competitive in the game and probably have a better overall team top to bottom, but they also have a bad matchup with the Mavs and KAT has disappeared for the 47th time in his career Maybe resting an injured Luka isn't a bad idea for them to have a chance against the Celtics, who are a much more experienced team and out to prove that they have gotten over choking all those other times in the last 6-ish yrs of the playoffs

Everybody keep saying it's been a one possession game.... Luka is playing on one leg... Anybody think Mavs wouldn't be up by at least 6 in either game if Luka had both legs... Just sayin come on guys..

[@EbonySeraphim]

I love how they have to make up narratives to keep the series "interesting" to talk about even though. Let's be clear, the only thing you can say is that most of the games were very close, or that the Wolves have had the lead in the 4th quarter of every game so they can just capitalize on what they do right up until that point and understand what to keep doing to push through with their season on the line. That being said, the proper counter to that is "yeah, and if you make it to the 4th quarter within range of Luka and Kyrie, you realize you haven't fully been fighting against Luka and Kyrie. Sure, they've had some impressive scoring and production that you kept up with for most of the game, but now they have another gear you won't get the better of. The response to Kenny Jackson: is this: the Mavs don't need a super specific game plan when it's late. Luka and Kyrie will take what the defense "gives" them to close games, sometimes making impossible shots you have to live with. You have to be a team that keeps their composure when the going gets rough and you're down against guys that seem to have all of the weapons against you.

The problem with that is if they lose the opportunity to sweep, you have to bring back Luka only a tiny bit rested to play in Minnesota. By the time they get back to Dallas it would be 3-2 and one win away from a game 7 in Minnesota. Finish it off now and take the rest before the Finals. Play Luka as little as possible and hopefully the role players will keep up the shooting at home. But finish it NOW....

Two years ago when Steph was 34 when the warriors got up 3-0 on the Mavs. In game 4 he played 33 minutes. That would work for Luka if they win tonight. He’s hurt but he’s nine years younger. Amazingly both of them would be facing off against Boston. They were down 2-1 before winning the final three games, playing 40 minutes in game 6. Luka knows his body. Surely they can decide what he can do and not do.
