He wins a chip and this might be the start of his Jokic type run of dominance

l've always said that the moment that he finishes as a top 3 seed dur8ng the regular season, the MVP will be his.

You add a chip to his resume and I think he'll be the favorite in the preseason and during the season for it next year regardless unless they're a play-in team again somehow.

At best, Goober is Al Horford without the 3pt shooting ability.

Gafford and Lively gonna make life hell for old Al.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

To be honest I think they are built for the Nuggets and that would be the only reason you keep that pairing

Nuggets need another dribbler and they’ll have the advantage back over the wolves

What were the +/-‘s this evening?

Ernie: "Thanks, I asked it."

Yeah they aren’t gonna eat like they just did

Holiday and White too small to guard luka. Tbh.

 

[B Sox]

Mavs have nobody to guard either of the Jays or Zingus (even if he’s only like 20 min a game).

Holiday and White will switch off on their games I’m sure.

Luka will score a lot. Cryrie The Clown will disappoint.

Lots of guys to attack though, which Minny didn’t/couldn’t take advantage of.

Think Jaylen and/or Jrue will be guarding Luka.

The same ones say Celtics in 6 are the ones that feel like Drake won over Kendrick. Dallas in 5.https://youtu.be/jJwvQ7uGREE?si=6WmbKc78s-9tycq9

 

[elpablo21]

T'Wolves in between a rock and hard place with the Gobert-KAT frontcourt. They wouldn't have been this successful without either of them, but they are flawed and very expensive.

I think they showed enough to warrant returning the group next season.

A reasonable man in this world of chaos

Glad to see you come out of your hole. You’re about to get packed right back in though

A secondary ball handler like Bruce and a decent backup big would help too but I respect them beating the Nuggets and won't make excuses.

 

[pmatic]

Wish the Mavs had one more offensive weapon, but Luka and Kyrie are good enough, I think.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Washington going 37/25 splits and still closing out in 5 is spooky

Shouldn’t have happened that way lol

I don’t think they can afford that in the finals and still hope to win. His defense was key tho

 

[HIM]

Mavs legend

 

[elpablo21]

Keeping my shirt on for now

Gobert truthers should find god now

We good.

Time to instigate some new f'ery from the upper room

If Jaylen Brown’s primary matchup is guarding Luka, how much is that going to affect him on the offensive end? He’s been cookin in the playoffs. Will be interesting to see who they pick to primarily guard Luka.

D-White I assume gets first crack on Luka
