Ant was ok. He hit that big shot but the possession before that he took a jumper with 11sec left on shot clock with 1:25 left protecting a 5pt lead. That was dumb as fouling Luka on that 4pt play. And his turnovers were bad. I’m really surprised how much he’s struggling in the paint.

He did hit some big shots but his decision making wasn't great, but those are the growing pains of a 22 year old running the offense in his first conference finals. It ain't easy.

@@KxngAntTae Lol what? Luka HAS A TRIPLE DOUBLE. This team is cooked. All we saw tonight was a group of guys desperately fouling every single possession. You know refs can't blow a whistle every time, or even a third of the time. It isn't their fault. It's the desperate Timberwolves playing like they can't play basketball until their cheating gets their shit falling That is all.

You gotta be joking😂 the Mavs didn't have their third most important player and Luka and Kyrie were both bad, Mavs are deadly after losses Mavs in 5, maybe 6...

Luka is the best NBA player currently bcoz no one can guard him. He can get you sent off. Don't believe me, asks KAT? 😂😂😂

[@DystopianUtopia8]

Luka Flopic would be nothing without the refs.

[@DnJar]

I do believe Dallas is going to win it I think it'll be six games I actually think Minnesota will play their best game at home on Thursday and I do think that Minnesota's got a chance to win it by 15 to 20 points I'm not saying it is going to be a definite blowout I'm saying they've got a great chance to make it anywhere from a 1415 Point win or what have you now if it's a close win yeah that could be that too but I think Minnesota will win that and then I think the next game in Dallas I think Dallas will go ahead and close it out Minnesota has will make it competitive they waited too long

[@homura_8]

I wouldn’t say that three was in garbage time because if he hit the free throw then they could’ve actually won the game or tied depending how Minnesota did on the free throws

[@StocktonSmurf]

KATs actually listening, he didnt jack up a 3 till the third when he was in rhythm after hitting a bunch of close shots. But Ant is providing the soil for all the wolves to grow and thrive rn

[@bns434]

sad thing is , KAT is inconsistent. We don't expect him to do it 3 games in a row.

Exactly

So fitting the day this guy says Minnesota has no chance and there’s nothing they can do vs Luka & Kyrie they WON 😂.. Serves you right you flip flopper.. And please don’t pick the Celtics next round, I don’t want them getting jinxed cause Minnesota should not even be down this series..

Wolves wanna Win the Series they need to Start Naz Reid instead of Gobert and only play Gobert about 15to 18min to give Kat and Naz Reid rest and Play Kyle Anderson around 25-27min again .

as a thunder fan, im very triggered by how poorly pj washington is shooting the three. He was lights out against us and now he's come back to earth. OKC could have won if he shot 30% instead of like 46 or whatever he did.

Wolves beat the mavs and refs.. Luka might be a bigger cryer/flopper than booker

Minnesotas path to forcing a game 7 is very doable every game is close its been 50/50 the entire series and the team is finally finding its rythm on offense momentum is real finding that that confidence.

[@pleasedonttemptme5963]

They can. At the very least, they can force a Game 6. Because Mavs are literal trash on offense besides Kyrie & Luka. Mavs should not have won Games 1 & 2, even their fans know they were lucky af.. I would hope the T-Wolves just play their game, and win Game 5. That’s all they need to do right now. Don’t worry about Game 7 at home. Just win once more..

Mavs will win in 6 unless some major injury of course, 3-0 is a big hole even if Luka doesn't play game 6 they can win a game.
