disappointing showing by the Wolves for sure. they have basically the same team back next year, i don't think they're light years away from the Mavs or Celtics.

Any chance they can get a Euro who looks like they can barely dunk?

it looked like the wolved needed a better point guard to me. they seem to think edwards should do it, but he is better as a small forward in my eyes, rather than running the offense. conley didnt grab my attention at all.

I agree

Conley at this point should be a 6th man/veteran pretense kinda guy

Ant does seem to want the ball in his hands tho so idk how a PG would work that required him to work more off the ball

But Conley is also old and seems to want to slow things down they should operate at a quicker pace

Doris Burke, Mike Breen, and JJ Redick should not be allowed to call the NBA Finals. They're absolutely brutal.

Minor hit here, but I hate the NBA’s jersey fetish. Celtics should be wearing white at home. Save these candy ass alternates for February when nobody gives a shit.

Luka falls down a lot and gets up with the urgency of an elderly getting out of bed in the morning.

He also takes a lot of bad shots. Those threes weren't necessary at the end of the 1st quarter.

I didn’t mind the one where he almost made Horford fall down.

Luka is a horrible defensive player. They are targeting him on every other player

Yep every shot is seemingly a contested step back where he happens to fall down only to whine about a foul and not get back on D.
On the 2 shots you're talking about no one else touched the ball.

It’s the same play everybody celebrated when he did it to Gobert.

There is a such thing as it being a bad shot even when you make it. That's why the term "low % shot" exists.

That was hero ball time. He delivered. The 1st quarter threes were momentum killers. I'm not sure those are the best shot when you are down 2 games and just pissed away a 13 point lead in like 3 minutes.

It's too tough for Dallas to score. Even when they score it's a strain.

Kyrie is the only one who came out with a pulse. I like Kidd, but they weren't prepared.

They have an iso heavy style of play but it isn't working against Boston. And their only 2 creators have to take too many dribbles in order to get a shot off.

The other problem is Luka and his horrible defense. Impossible for them to get stops with him on the floor

I get it but he’s a take-the-good-with-the-bad kind of player. Every superstar gets that treatment.

Boston is too deep. Denver is the only team that could maybe guard them; this Dallas team sucks at defense. They need two guys to put up 70 and also cast-offs from teams like the Bulls to hit key shots. All while hoping the other team misses shots like Minnesota did in the WCF.

Not a recipe for sustained success against a team like the Celtics.

He gave up 5 points just by taking those shots because they led to 2 easy scores on the other end. That was the other part of it. They led to leakouts just by virtue of him launching those shots.

Of their top 6-7 guys the only horrible defender is Luka. Kylie isn't terrible and their front court guys are very good. It's because they have to help on whomever Luka is guarding all of the time which is the problem. Boston has multiple scorers which means you can't hide him this series

The first three wasn’t a leak out. It was Dallas playing short handed and Boston moving the ball well.

All because Luka refused to get his fat ass off the floor after he flopped.
