Still like the TWolves here if Edwards gets it together again but you may be right. May not have accounted for Luka and Kyrie’s playoff experience enough

I still had the wolves winning, but think it's 50/50 now.

Hell of a game. Didn't go the way I thought it would. Give Dallas their flowers. Minnesota got flat out outcoached and gafford dominated a game where I thought he'd get "out-bigged."

Mavs outscored by 36 in the made 3 department. And still won

Luka and Kyrie got little to no help.

Even Washington who's been nails all playoffs didn't play as well as he has been.

If they keep this up and get some help the Wolves might be in trouble.

Helluva run for Dallas teams. With one glaring exception. ROFL

I guess it isn’t rocket science.

When you have two hall of famers, you always have a chance.

They aren’t Shaq and Kobe or Wade and LeBron, but they’re still two great players.

That's why Kyrie was always a great swing for the Mavs.

I'm surprised they've made it work. Credit to kyrie that I think he's embraced shutting himself on and off based on when Luka can cook. If he keeps it up they'll be tough to stop. Kyrie was flat last series and Luka had to do way too much heavy lifting last

Yep agreed. That is why I said prior to Game 7 if it was the Wolves that won this will be a long series.

Watching Kyrie all season long and on the post game show tonight I have to give him props for turning his career around. He was pretty much a team killer for several seasons and he genuinely seems happy now. Hope it continues.

Yeah he’s been the veteran presence the Mavs needed. He’s helped young guys like Lively keep their heads in the game.

Yeah it’s been weird. All the way back to Duke I really never liked watching him play (I will say I was in the Sprint Center when he made Will Spradling look a fool, but that was more enjoying Spradling than Kyrie).

But damn do I like watching him play now. It’s not as spectacular as it was say with Cleveland. But whatever. I am enjoying it way more. And I don’t really have an answer as to why.

It wasn’t just Spradling. He took Jake, a senior, to school. As a frosh.

Definitely a worse matchup for the Wolves than Denver. Can't count on Kyrie to be a giant big ol' bitch like Murray.

Got their work cut out for them. Something's gotta change, because Dallas won't be that terrible from 3 all series.
