NBA Season - now 24/25

Heartbreak stuff for OKC but they did get a bit exposed with the bigger bodies of the Mavs. The offensive rebounding and second shots was huge for the Mavs. Only real blight for the Mavs was the turnovers that cost them a big lead. But the Kyrie and Luka combo showed great value in opening up space for Airplane Mode and PJ (in thr 4th quarter)

Well the guys can go and get their asses kicked and it will still be a very successful year for me. Great trades to put pieces around them and now those pieces are being used really well.
I cant see us getting past either of the potential opponents, but with luck we win a couple of games and make it a contest.

Nuggets were looking super comfortable through the first half, but the Wolves have started Q3 really well and it's tightened right up. Nuggets need Joker to step up but he's not going well right now.
Feel like we are losing one of the top three teams in the NBA with this series.

Fuck Ant-man is a star. Buzzer beater to end the quarter and the Nuggets have a one point lead going to the 4th.
Joker was big in the last couple of minutes of the quarter too, but everyone else is throwing up bricks, if he can't get some shooting help, they'll lose this.

KAT was their guy tonight.
Jokic played the whole game. 34/7/19.
Murray went for 35
The rest of the Nuggets took the night off.Great series.

NBA will be stoked - have been crying out for the next US superstar - welcome Anthony Edwards
He's the whole package. A baller, with the personality to match. Loves Ant Man

This post game press conference has won me over. I'm on the Wolves bandwagon. Seem like very funny guys:
KAT let his game do the talking in G7. I thought he had a whale of a game

Mac's come from up to 18 points behind and win G2. Ant Man is a shadow of himself, the team were defensively poor and allowed Luka and Kyrie to pick them apart
I’m not sure they “allowed” much - Luka in particular just too good when it counted today. They are struggling defending the 2 big guys rolling to the rim though - they might need to play a big zone for stretches to close the paint.
But It’s offensively where the Wolves have really fallen off a cliff. Ant was so tentative today, he was literally hiding in the corner in the 4th. I wonder if he’s carrying some sort of injury - I can barely remember him really attacking the rim like he has done all season. Every drive ends with him missing a layup and trying to get a foul call.
And seeing them bench KAT like that was pretty wild.
How did they come this far to now rely on McDaniels and Naz to carry the offense???
I called Dallas in 7 - might need to refresh that…does @gt12 believe yet???
