  1. This Anthony Edwards really be trash. I see he stopped tryin to guard Kyrie this game. But homie still out of breath. What an overrated prospect.

  2. lol 😂 Rudy is scared of Luka n small ball

    Luka don’t got handles but crossed him over 😂
    What him n Brunson did to the jazz wth Rudy was filthy

  3. Need to change that rule that allowed Dallas to challenge the out of bounds call caused by a Dallas foul.

  4. Everyone clowning gobert for the last defensive possession and keeping quiet on the two Edwards last minute turnovers is so painful to watch… You got to guard possession if you need to close out

  5. Every blaming gobert… looks like ant man killed the wolves with bad passes, turnovers and bricks. Luca makes all defenders look bad with his step back, it's unguardablle.

  6. All those obnoxious wolves fans clowning Dallas celebrating after the game 1 win, where y'all at? lmao😂

  7. Now in typical nba rigging fashion the wolves are going to win two in dallas 🙄 gotta have that drama and drag the series out 🤦

  8. Turn over on ant, gobert was on doncic, naz misses game winning 3 after having a great game from behind the arch😵‍💫

  9. Minnesota have a Twin Towers / Naz..
    Dallas have a two young bigs that destroying and dominant the bigs of Minnesota…. Gafford and Lively is the main and huge impact for the team. The effort! Competitiveness!!

  10. A lot of Luka glazing in the comments sheesh I don’t how y’all got time to do anything when your busy blowing luka all day everyday lmao dude a big a baby in all seriousness he’s a cry baby and than you got Rudy and towns that can’t play defense for sh*t dk how Rudy won dpoy and every time someone drives in the towns puts his hands down and moves away and ant has been choking the last couple games naz Reid and Conley are out here doing it up while the 3 biggest stars are joking
