[@freddymaite]

This was an absolute insane game 1! Wolves on fire and they still lost...damn.

[@de4ds1ghtcsgo94]

That's what us MFFLs have been saying. You have 2 clutch performers on the mavs and a group of severely underrated pieces that are all capable to go for 20. You need 1 of those 6 guys to score 20 per game. The rest will hit a shot or 2 and that adds up to 110. Then you have this D. Like even I am looking in are at luka. He's capable of lockdown? Like tf😅

[@westonminshull9033]

lmao the wolves played terribly. They were not on fire. On fire timberwolves put up 120-130. If they can play complete games, wolves in 5.

[@negativezero3107]

Wolves wont get that luck 3 % again, that should scare them, Mavs go 6 for 25 and win, wait til they hit em, should be very worried, first thing to do is stop the drop coverage, take the paint, but i don't think they can.

[@phillipschuman4307]

@@dejahneallen Several times in the 4th quarter, the Wolves had to play 4 on 5 on their offensive end, because Ant didn't make it into the front court. He was slow walking while they were breaking. He was obviously gassed, and that's what even he said after the game (a little tired). Reggie Miller originally thought he was injured, he was so fatigued.

[@dejahneallen]

@@phillipschuman4307 definitely never thought Ant was injured and again I felt like he played a solid game the entire game. I was also high 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@phillipschuman4307]

@@dejahneallen I didn't get that impression myself, but I later saw the clips where several times, his entire team was playing offense and he was 40 feet away, slow walking so much he hadn't crossed half court and they had been in several play actions already.
