This is gonna be a wild fucking series.
Never would I have imagined the last 4 possessions of the game, Ant would be offball for all of them.
He must be hurting or DOG tired.
Incredible how well 1st half Kyrie passed the baton seamlessly to Luka to close it out. Unreal how well these two work together man.
What’s a wolf to a stallion?
WE ARE LIVING IN NORTH KOREA
THE WOLVES DROP COVERAGE HAS ME SO FUCKING MAD WE ARE LIVING IN NORTH KOREA WHY DO THESE COACHES JUST KEEP LETTING THIS HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND
YEAH WHAT A GREAT IDEA LETS GIVE LUKA MULTIPLE FREE JUMPERS TO GOVE HIM MOMENTUM AND MOJO WOOOHOOOOOOO
Oh god.. Luka is everywhere, how do they stop him.. that was a massive clutch block and play from him
Can’t hate on that, good game Mavs fans. Your team brought the energy tonight. Hope we can match here on out
MAVS BROUGHT THEY ASS
The Mavs did the funniest thing possible
Luka was methodical this game, Kyrie had Ant absolutely gassed, what a gameplan. Going to be a tremendous series.
THIS YEAR HITTIN DIFFERENT
This was a fun game to watch. So many amazing plays.
Should be a fun series.
If you would’ve told me before the game that Minnesota would shoot 18 3’s and that Mavericks would shoot 6, I would not have guessed Mavericks keep it close and win. What an odd game.
Luka is clearly the best player in this series and the Mavs defense is great too but people said it would be easy for the Wolves lol
The whole NBA world glazed Ant so hard these past few days. Don’t get me wrong, dude is incredible, but Luka lives for this shit. He took over when we needed it.
There’s only one man I truly fear–Naz Reid.
Great fucking game.
Edit: everyone responding to my word choice rather than my point…lol. Suck my diction.
My heart is gonna fuckin explode if all the games are gonna be like that.
Mavs tried their absolute hardest to chuck it at the end. That inbound and then fouling on the 3 attempt were fucking crazy.
Whether you’re a Mavs fan, Wolves fan or NBA fan, I think we can all agree the challenge system is broken and needs to be fixed.
As long as you’re right, you should be able to continue challenging bad calls.
We need to get the calls right.
We won, but I can’t help but wonder if Josh Green hates me
Minnesota dropping the first game on purpose to avoid the 0-1 Mavs.
That lob inbound to DJJ with 7 secs to go has made me a heart patient…
kyrie had Ant gassed.
Imagine not taking Luka #1 in the draft
Wait, Mavericks won a game 1. Does that mean they lose?
Mavericks will tell you this is exactly what they traded for Kyrie for — Irving took over the first half. Doncic took over the second.
Meanwhile, Edwards may have actually bitten off more than he can chew trying to chase after and guard Kyrie to the point where he was gassed by the end of the game.
LUKA WAS LOCKED IN ON BOTH ENDS IN THE 4TH
Ant was so lethargic. He looked like Luka early in the OKC series
Both teams look GASSED
Kyrie and Luka traded roles today lol
I feel like you can’t just end every play with a KAT 3 down the stretch but I’m not a coach
Derrick Jones Jr had Ant in handcuffs – he couldn’t shake him to get to his paint game. Can’t believe the Mavs have him for the minimum.
PRAVI MVP
Josh Green did his best but the Mavs still prevailed
Lively’s doing so much better than I thought he would. No lack of confidence, just straight buckets
That was so stupid from the Wolves. They just kept jacking up threes when it wasn’t working.
Keep the same energy you have for Tatum on Ant.
Kyrie with the start Luka with the finish. Unreal game from the Mavs despite shooting terribly from the 3
PJ Washington corner 3 in the last few minutes of the 4th. Sign me up every game.
luka is so far and above everyone else in this series even on a bad knee its crazy
If Luka looked half as tired as Ant did this game y’all would all be calling him fat and lazy.
Crazy take – maybe it’s just hard AF to lead a basketball team at the highest level. Wild take, I know. Ant will play better and the Wolves are not at all out of this yet.
GG wolves. This is gonna be a hell of a series.
The Ringer top players 25 and under:
1. Wemby
2. Ant
3. SGA
4. Luka
Lmao
The trend continues with Lively +19 and Gafford -15
This Dallas defense is insanely good lol. Maybe it wasn’t just an OKC problem.
As a completely neutral fan that likes both teams, this is going to be an incredible series.
if i catch another motherfucker callin luka fat im fuckin beatin they ass. that shit pure muscle right there oh yes 👌
Kyrie fr seem like he grown as a player and person, his post game interview was fire
