Inside the NBA Makes Their Picks for Timberwolves vs. Mavs Western Conference Finals 

@LukaIsNonFlyingLBJI want to see luka shut his mouth and play the game, it pisses me off when he complains

​@@user-ed1tb3xl3zare you forgetting that he did that exact thing in game 5

@@devynlich00 that’s 1 out of 6 games. The rest of the games he was whining like a little bitch while having some of the worst shooting performances I have ever seen.

​@LukaIsNonFlyingLBJyeah he won't

@@captainsimp8864Luka and kyrie gone get em watch 🤞🏽

Casuals don’t realize the Mavs aren’t just Luka dependent now. Watching the Clippers and Thunder series made me realize how important their big rotation is with Lively, Gafford, DJJ, Washington, and Kleber.

@@Selling-McCarthyismno hate but in the clippers series they heavily struggled against zubac and the wolves have 3 big man all better than zubac

@@Jajsnsjsnzubac is underrated and rudy is overrated they really have 2 bigs rudy is 50/50

@@Jajsnsjsn Rudy is their only true big who is similar to Zubac. Naz and KAT are closer to how Holmgren plays (a big that plays more on the perimeter). Mavs did well against Holmgren overall since their front court is more traditional. If the Wolves had 2 Rudys… that would be a problem but they do not.

@@Jajsnsjsn the key is if the Wolves can get rebounds and stop Jones Jr and Washington, they will win. If Jones Jr and Washington are scoring 20+ it’s game over.

Ok what about the other guys?

He picked the wolves to win last night

Chuck predicted the Wolves will win the series and they did. So you're wrong, lol.

@@PapagenoMFhow many times is chuck right😂

@@PapagenoMF he predicted that the mavs would lose game 5

Mavs dont fit either. We was always tittle contenders 😂😂.

@@Larry-nj8tsno they were always the dark horse. Have never been in title convos in the media .

@@ricie4 to media, the real sprorts junkies and fans know we was always title contenders. 😂

@@Larry-nj8ts nah the trades made them contenders, it wasn’t all along. Some of the best mid season moves I’ve ever seen. My best friend is a huge Mavs fan, he’s been telling me since march how good they were. Didn’t really buy it until game 3 of the OKC series. Since then, Mavs were gonna win the title to me.

I see what you did there. Clever OP 😁

think its gonna be more kai vs ant.. ant said postgame he wants that kyrie matchup

@@lewwyshia8479ants probably the only one that can keep up with him and actually guard him this is going to be an amazing series.

Kyrie vs ant 🙄

@@murpyxavier8091 I'm excited to watch them battle it out. Ant wanting Kyrie specifically shows dude doesn't back down from a challenge. This series should be fun to watch.

He would have chosen Luka if he wanted the biggest challenge. Y’all are kidding yourselves if you think Kyrie is better than Luka

Before clippers also.

You're right sir this team is extremely dangerous

@@anthonyhouston4250 picking them to beat Boston or who cares Indiana that team overall even if sometimes they have an off night remember this could happen they still show toughness you might 🚫 t want to face that team good luck

Mavs all the way you people have heard my comments you respect me I respect you and you know I have seen things pertaining to high play this team has the right components to achieve said desire great young complimentary players who are potentially all stars great defense overall and two legendary all stars

Yeah he hate gobert look how he will cook gobert again like what he did 2yrs ago when gobert still in utah

@@MrMLNOP Gobert on Luka is a huge mistake, it opens up Gafford or Lively to the PNR Dunk. Towns is garbage defensively.

⁠@@dustinbarlow1623to be fair kat been playing great defense this postseason even giving the mvp a hard time. That being said we’ll see how conducive that is to his off ball defense in the coming series

@@progressiveoverload3915 I just think Minnesota is too slow and methodical to keep up with Dallas in a 7 game stretch.

@@MrMLNOPLuka actually broke the European national record on goberts head. He dropped 63 points on gobert when solvenia faced France about 2 years ago. Most points ever scored in a European game

The other fake prophets will also easily choose Wolves, which is great. This isn't media year....

Wolves going to make it tough Mavs bout to shock the word Luka Magic

dallas in 5

Minnesota has only played Dallas one time with Luka and Kyrie playing together, and they got the doors blown off of them. And thats before PJ and Gafford arrived. Lets be real Mcdaniels is Lanky and Athletic but he doesnt have the same kind of Physicality of Dort, and Lukas size will wear on him in a seven game series. Then ANT is not a better defender than Jalen Williams, no Matter how great he pumps himself up! The dude is not staying in front of Kyrie.

@@user-li6ns2lk3z🤣🤣🤣🤣

It isn’t new either. When the mavs win the championship it was the same thing.

Ernie and Kenny literally picked Dallas over OKC, and then they also all said it's a close matchup. Nobody is on an agenda, MN just beat what most considered to be the best/second best team in the league, with the best player in the world. How is irrational to choose that team?

It's the fact that wolves are better than mavs, even nuggets is better than mavs

@@eliasbyrne2925and they beat them while ANT underperformed in game 7. They could’ve played even better

​@@rubenweber6742I mean you blitz him or doubble and he gonna froze. I wouldn't count mavs out just like that. Okc didn't trash talk Luka but Rudy will. And you know what Luka can do when he's provoked.

as if the Wolves vs. Nuggets series wasn't a rollercoaster already! :D

Nail biter time

That song is definitely gonna be playing a lot once the series starts during the games watch

😂

They ain’t winning shit.

You really said the play-in 😂

@@robglobal1 It's not comparable to the playoffs but if you're a player with a bench contract the prize money is great. If your team is also in the playoffs that another extra money.

@@marus3953in season tournament. play in is 7-10 seed

@@marus3953 Oh I think you meant the In-Season Tournament

@@miguelalvarez9696 Yeah that one, I forgot 🤣

But the wolves have way more size, gafford and lively are going to get eaten alive by Kat and gobert and Reid

Is their bench is not better than Minnesota's

Kat and Gobert didn’t even eat alive Powell when we didn’t have Gafford or Lively or PJ 😂😂 and they still loss

@@monopolyronmusic playoffs complete different game, Naz Reid and Kat shut down jokic and gobert shut down Aaron Gordon, all we need is two of them to shut down gafford and the final one to get rid of lively

@@michaelsun-qh5xe Thats cool and all but who you got guarding kyrie and Luka?

Hate to be that guy but, Everytime* prove*

Min in 5, too big and Edwards shuts down Kyrie

Every time !

Bruh the Mavs beat the Clippers with part time player Kawhi missing majority of the series. I get them credit for beating OKC because they were a good team. But Mavs offense is garbage, Wolves have the best defense.

Mavs losing luh bruh

You are right 👍 don't count the Mavs out

Timbs in 5 lol. Mavs Can't get past nuggets how they gonna be timbs?

@@kingjah2687 look they beat Denver in a sensational game regular season saw that Kyrie hit a buzzer beater sensational shot so don't tell me they can't beat them bro matchups are important bro and also Mavs have made some good moves getting good players especially Washington and Derek Jones that's not counting Lively beast and Kleber may come back don't and I repeat don't underestimate any team including Minnesota I have it probably going the distance in one of the greatest playoff series of all time I think whoever wins this series wins the title Boston and Indiana are no slouches however

@@kingjah2687 you know and I have seen this great players like Magic Bird Michael Jordan Kareem Abdul Jabbar shine the best when the heats on also don't forget about Kyrie Irving he has matured and is still a fantastic player remember that

@clifftanton8385 that is true. I do hope kyrie does show up because last round he has been real inconsistent. couple of 9 point games. I do expect him to exploit the mike Conley match-up but he will need to show up this round especially because pj and the bigs will have more difficulty scoring than they had with a small ball okc and mediocre frontcourt with clippers. but mavs are definitely an elite team especially since they really improved on defense. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually go to the finals.

And thats perfectly fine. We've been getting this treatment all season. We'll just have to win it all for them to finally get it.

They gon switch up soon jus like they did wit okc

Lol thats nothing compare to ESPN they hate Mavs and Luka so bad. Now that Jokic is out they gonna hate on Luka through the whole series

Dudes in these comments throw the word hate around so casually

@@Helloim_anthonyfr sensitive sissy ahh men with a victim mindset

Kyrie gonna kill Conley.. Edwards gonna have to guard Kyrie

Kyrie gonna turn up dude. He has been here. Luka has been here. I think that edge will be the equalizer

@@mikeillgaming4224 why would conley be guarding kyrie lol

Sorry pal but OKC has a better defense then Minnesota, you could argue the Clippers are better defensively than Minnesota. Actually this could be the easiest defense that Dallas has played in the playoffs so far. The corner 3 is going to be there all series long.

@@mikeillgaming4224 LOL Conley on PJ, thats gonna be funny to watch.

Learn what? Youre playing a team that was counted against lol

@@pimpnamedslickback7780still has been counted . Mavs are the true underdog story . Never favs in any matchup

Wolves in 6 brother yall win 2 at most

Learn what 😂

​@Drae-up9db what bath salts are you on?

And wolves is best defensive team what’s your point

Dallas offense is actually trash lol.

​@@realaudioreviewsthen you haven't seen the Mavericks post dataline have you they're easily top five

I'm not going to lie, their offense is okay from the last two series, but that was against teams that weren't the kind of defensive team Minnesota are

​​@@devynlich00yeah and they struggled against teams that aren't defensively as good as Minnesota's this playoffs still so

Hope so too. They keep on counting Dallas out. We'll show em. MAVS IN 6!!!

Kawhi already was Luka's dad. Then Steph took over as Luka's dad. I guess you could say he's Luka's Steph-father

@@J-Hueur a luka hater whos in the playoffs and whos not bum😂

Nah this is a foster parents reunion since Luka and Ant are both fathers to Booker

Like a good back up center, or guard.

Hahaha cry about it

Never was going to happen. Owners are well known to be cheap. Across all their sporting organisations. Hence key personnel, sporting and non playing staff have gone rival teams in American hand egg, football and basketball. One thing they CAN reply with. Kronke is a winner across ALL THREE SPORTS franchises

Kyrie will not score more w Edwards on him, and they def won't with Min size down low. This is a bad matchup for Mavs

Wolves sweep this tiny team

No they will not the Oklahoma City thunder defense is nowhere as good as Minnesota's

@@billysummers1616depends how they guard kyrie honestly, if they hard hedge and blitz him every time he touches the ball in the pick and roll and isolation like okc did then he probably won’t score much. If they defend him like Jamal Murray with no double teams and drop coverage in the pick and roll with Ant fighting over the screens then I see him scoring a lot like he did in the first round against the clippers.

Nuggets are a worse matchup, luka switch on gobert no issue. Twin towers for mavs no issue

Agreed

Obviously you are a delusional Wolves fan who kinda forgot Mavs exist because all 4 regular games were played in the first part of the season -All 4 against a G league injured Mavs roster with litle defense and no real centers - Wolves were 3-1 - 2 Mavs L's - Luka and Kyrie both didn't play - 1 Mavs L - Kyrie injured - 1 Mavs W - Luka and Kyrie both played The last 15 games of the season Mavs were the number 1 rated defense in the league, and they are keeping it up through playoffs so far now too. Mavs in 6

@@MichealLee__cry me a river

​@@MichealLee__you do realize they would have still won even without the foul right especially with the put back by Irving

​@@MichealLee__repeat that again without crying..

​@@MichealLee__ the Mavericks beat them 4 times.

Jokic's team was just overrated. They're talented. But fans and the media confused them beating up on nothing but 40-win teams to win the title last year as them being a real powerhouse. They aren't that. And their lack of focus is a big reason why.

They clearly dont have strong bench, they sold key players and didnt really replace them thats why they lost this series. The team also is in need of a concistant player since Jokic cant be carrying the team all the time.

​@@J-HueFacts lost 4 of 5 playoff series

Hope you got a broom at home

Yeah ky should be like the cavs kyrie back in 2016

Kyrie should have a match-up advantage in this series being primarily guarded by Mike Conley. Not a bad defender, but he shouldn't be able to bother Kyrie that much.

if you think conley is matched up on kyrie you havent watched the timberwolves defense lol

@@imdbtruthHe’s gonna be guarded by Edwards buddy 🤣

I feel you boy, kyrie is the gate why i loved basketball, its against my conscience to go against him, love ant tho

@@sd21z No sir, this team is different. They are stronger than Denver and could run the offense anywhere they want. No one can guard Luka and Kyrie... The wolves defense will be useless...
