My hatred of KAT and Gobert about to go to a new level.

On a sidenote: I remember when I first became a Mavs fan right around the Jim Jackson era, and Mavs were the absolute worst team in the league and the T’Wolves were second worst. Minnesota seemed to be the only team the Mavericks could ever beat twice in a season, saving us from the all-time losing record. Both franchises have come so far.

I forget how fast and athletic Dirk was when he was young.

Dirk was so much better than KG

This is exactly the kind of series Kleber becomes invaluable. Without him we get left with odd rotations against this team.
I hate to even put this in the ether but Powell may be seeing minutes this series.

No way the Mavs can let Karl “greatest big man shooter of all time” Towns beat them.

I was around 10 years old when I started watching the nba. I have feint memories of the 97-98 finals because I watched them with my dad but I was too focused on other sports to really enjoy the nba. This team right here is what got me into basketball, this is why I became a mavs fan. I couldn’t believe this 7 foot tall German was shooting like that and the team had a mexican and canadian guy too! Everyone I knew rooted for the lakers or kings and I was the only one in my school rooting for these guys. Never rooted for any other team in the nba since

Finley-Nash-Dirk made me fall in love with Mavs basketball. MFFL ever since

Dirk dominated KG to the point where he still doesn’t give Dirk his props. Salty ass mf

KG really gave a fucking godly effort in that one. Without him the Wolves don’t even come out for the 4th Q.
I always forget how good he was until I watch some highlights
