the thing is the Twolves are just a horrible match up for the Mavs. both back court positions are below average defenders guarding ANT who is damn near 50 40 85 and is an athletic demon. Lively is 7'1 230, wtf is he doing to 7'0 250 3 level scorer KAT? and you can't swap Gafford on to him cause Rudy is the same size and can literally just walk through Lively, it doesn't matter if Gobert has no bag, also speaking of Gobert, wtf is Gafford or Lively doing on offense? about Jaden being bodied... you do realize that Luka and AG are basically the same weight right? i swear i saw Jaden on AG at least once in those Denver games correct me if im wrong. if i am then ok, put ant or Rudy on him. hell you can put NAZ on him. he's not getting under 20, but he's not getting over 30 against a team that held Denver under 100 Pts 4 times. twice in a row, no less. Luka can't be stopped, but he WILL be slowed down. also everyone outside of Luka and Kai is getting put in a straight jacket.

Problem with Wolves is their best defenders on Rudy and Jaden sometimes straight up refuse to adjust, mostly on Jaden. Doesnt help that Ant and Mike are weaker defenders. When the Nuggets started using AG as a ball handler, Wolves got manhandled early because of how they adjusted so slow. Jaden was the best scorer in game 1 but his lack of adjustment in that game hurt more in a game they were leading. He should be blitzing instead of doing drop coverage. Drop on Luka is like asking the Mavs to win.
@@riggs2477 blaming the refs on losing a game at home, in a game to where your second best player literally got played out of the game???? TWOLVES IN 8 😂

I think the x-factor player for the Mavs this series will be Maxi Kleber. A reliable stretch four/five who can defend 1-5. He spaces the floor unlike Gafford and Lively, which will bring Gobert towards the perimeter or leave Maxi open for the wide open 3 if Gobert hovers more in the paint. Maxi is a key piece the Mavs are missing… hope he returns soon. The Mavs can run Luka, Kai, PJ, DJJ, and Maxi (if he’s back this series).
I’m even a nuggets fan and the biggest Jokic glazer, but Ant has the IT factor, the personality, the trash talk, the jokes, the relatability, he shows respect when he needs to and we can’t forget the fact that he’s next up superstar wise. Jokic doesn’t even like media attention.
@thialhoinj1971 Luka at the age of 22 was averaging 28/8/8 and next year beat suns with Devin booker and cp3 also at the age of 22 beat Kawi and pg by himself
Jokic is not, never has been, and never will be the face of the league. His personality just isn't built for it. It takes skill, personality, and results to be the the face of the league. Jokic doesn't talk trash, make funny jokes, and connect his teamates well enough to meet that personality part.

Wolves outplayed nuggets but it was a close series that went to game 7. And as for mavs, I rooted for the mavs but OKC is the first seed for a reason. Anyone would have taken OKC over Dallas and I can’t blame them. The difference is experience.

@@marcusfrm6263they can absolutely guard All the stats prove it Whoever they have been guarding has struggled against them They didn’t have any lock on defense They switched around and guarded multiple guys throughout the first 2 rounds But all the stats show that they have been locking up whoever they are guarding
Well, Dallas Mavericks won game 1 and won game 2 ( Luka killer 3 over Rudy ) 🔥 Game 3 back in Dallas, Texas this Sunday “stand up” Big D, Triple, D-Town 2006 and 2011 appearances
Like how 1 game gets everyone damn their unstoppable. But I just see game 1 as both teams figuring out each other's playstyle. My theory is that if kyrie doesn't drop 20 or more points, they're losing the games if he does the same strategy of assisting his team like he said the last 2 rounds.
Well that’s just dumb. You can argue the Celtics would win, but either of these teams winning would have my bet over the Celtics. If the twolves advance, remember how Jaylen brown got exposed for a bad handle last year? McDaniels and Alexander walker would make it happen again. If the mavs win? The Celtics would have the same issue everyone else had. Nobody’s stopping Luka.
@@trevorhe3103 what basis do u have that they will get a season ending injury? You can’t just say ant is gonna get injured because u want the Celtics to win
Who tf are you talking about? I haven't seen anybody sleep on them, just because some people picked the wolves doesn't mean the world is sleeping on dallas lol YT sports "media" has officially gotten as bad as tv
Stop…. Everyone picked the wolves and the Mavs are always slept on ever since Dirk. I’ve watched every Mavs game since 1996. They are always slept on and so is Luka. Why do u think he gets less respect (other than the fact he is white) than other players beneath him.
I don't gamble but my gosh every once in a while everyone is wrong and it is obvious. This is one of those times. Dallas is absolutely winning this series.
Bro the Mavs are not that good they only got Kyrie and Luca their depth is way overachieving they should be their normal selves soon cause they have been like this since the trade deadline.The TWolves will win this series theyy have three bigs and they're depth is so good 6th man of the year Naz Reid Nickeil Alexander Walker is a good defender as well is Jaden McDaniels the Wolves are the 2020 Lakers
Fr I’ve had the Mavs either winning it all or making it to the finals since the playoffs were set, they have the best backcourt in basketball and if the D shows up, and their bigs are effective no one is gonna beat em, however the Twolves match up decently well I think it will go to 6-7 games but I’m praying for the Mavs to win. Typically you need to lose in the playoffs before you win it all
I agree. I think the Mavs win. However, I think the main reason ppl pick the Timberwolves is just bias. Everyone in my city is going Timberwolves just because they havent won the finals before. The wolves are also very likeable, which makes them a fan favorite.
Mavs transfer was 10/10 gafford and Washington change this team also lively, luka get everything he need to fight for his first ring. Lively and Gafford Play amazing on defense lively also on offense, on Washington with okc series looks like a third star in this team, also good hardaway, green and exum for the bench
If gobert becomes a rebounding machine then i would say the wolves. The wolves offense tends to be streaky at times. I dont see anyone shutting down ant. Kyrie going to be a head ache and luke will be unguardable. Wolves might go for zone defense
And Antman is awesome these playoffs he has been putting up big numbers playing really good defense if he has a off night sharing the ball making big winning plays
I wouldn’t put that much stock on Pj shooting as well as he did during the OKC series. He slowed down considerably by game 6, and KAT can guard him fairly effectively I think. Also Ant can probably play defense on Luka relatively well. It’ll be close but I think that the wolves will win the series and probably the championship, and I’m a Celtics fan.
You want the Wolves if you a Cs fan But no Nobody is guarding Luka(idk how tf you think Ant is handlin him) Nobody is guarding Ky You have to double both If you double both PJ shoots the same clip Exum and Lively do it as well Both have an elite defense Mavs have #1 since the deadline Wolves have the #6 Mavs just also have a top 3 offense
@@fate8718u are high. Most Celtics fans would want the mavericks over Timberwolves. In their last game, Celtics completely destroyed the mavs while Timberwolves took Celtics to overtime. Also mavs offense ain’t even close to top 3. Heck, wolves scored more points than mavs this playoffs. The Celtics are better at stopping Luka and kyrie than kat and Edwards.
@@fate8718 not at all, I’m not nearly as scared of the Mavs as I am the wolves. In the regular season post deadline we dominated the Mavs when both teams were healthy, and we always struggled against Minnesota. As for ant guarding Luka, he’s slightly shorter but just as strong and he’s faster, he obviously won’t completely lock up Luka since that’s impossible but he’s a fantastic matchup for Luka. Jaden McDaniels can do the same to Kyrie, since he has the size to bother Kyrie and the speed to keep up with him. I doubt the wolves double much and Gobert will do a fantastic job guarding the rim since Lively and Gafford aren’t spacers. Again I think it’s a lose series but the Wolves defense is probably the best I’ve seen since at least the 22 Celtics, and their offense is good enough to put away Denver, who are better than the Mavs defensively, so I think the wolves will win in 6 or 7
If Kat guards PJ then that's bringing Kat out to the perimeter and we've all seen how Gobert looked against the Mavs when he was on Utah. If Kleber comes back it's a wrap. His 3pt ability will pull Gobert out of the paint. So that's both bigs taken care of
@IndieMerchantSam You never saw Dallas post deadline And you shutting down Luka was Luka getting a 35 point triple double And Ant isnt guarding Luka Thats one of them unguardable mfs Dallas has 2 of them They also have the best defense in the league Whatever you think Minnesota can do Dallas can better

These r my picks btw I’m have Celtics in 6 and MAVs in 7
Then MAVs in 7 vs Celtics
Celtics sweep the Pacers .
MAVS IN 5 🥶
This guy always finds a way to hate on the T-Wolves
He’s not hating. Did you watch the video
Saying McDaniel is gonna get bodied is cap anybody who’s lanky can still play bully ball if there strong kd weighs the same as Gianni’s yet has a way different game
@@kaidenskibidiarcnot sure if you watched the game last night, but dude was literally getting bodied. it felt unfair
@@mekk17 ye it hasn’t happened MOST of the series tho and my point about Gianni’s and kd stands
I agree with everything. Whoever wins this series wins the chip.
W Andrew Let’s Go!! 🫡🐐💯🔥
W Malone 🤝🤝
They got Jaden McDaniels but we got Pj Washington🥶🔥
i agree but i feel like the difference is the defense and rebounding i think that lively and gafford won’t be as affected this series as they were against the clips and okc cause the timberwolves got bodies kat gobert big jelly and there bench has been good NAW great perimeter defender slow mo good i lean the wolves
The t wolves have good defense and who are the mavs backcourt guarding
Kyrie and Luka have been good defensively this year. How else do you think they rank top 5 in DRTG?
@@AndrewFenichelkyrie and Luka won’t do anything on Ant.
@@AndrewFenichelyou really think they can guard
@@marcusfrm6263they can absolutely guard
All the stats prove it
Whoever they have been guarding has struggled against them
They didn’t have any lock on defense
They switched around and guarded multiple guys throughout the first 2 rounds
But all the stats show that they have been locking up whoever they are guarding
@@Unanimouseditz oh lord. Game is in 40 minutes. Thank god it is
The wolves were built to beat the nuggets, mavs were built to win the finals
Game 1 and Game 2 will say everything I need to know 😂
Dallas always lose game 1. Then always wins the next 2.
Dallas won game 1
Well
get cooked
Well, Dallas Mavericks won game 1 and won game 2 ( Luka killer 3 over Rudy ) 🔥 Game 3 back in Dallas, Texas this Sunday “stand up” Big D, Triple, D-Town
2006 and 2011 appearances
aged like fine wine
I think mavs are more likely to win this series, but I’d still say wolves have a better chance at the whole thing
foolish 😔
Like how 1 game gets everyone damn their unstoppable. But I just see game 1 as both teams figuring out each other's playstyle. My theory is that if kyrie doesn't drop 20 or more points, they're losing the games if he does the same strategy of assisting his team like he said the last 2 rounds.
You literally said the we wolves were favorites after the Denver series 🤣🤣🤣
Favorites not gonna sweep nor his pick to win it all
I did. And then the more I thought about the matchup, I changed my mind. Is that not allowed lol
@@AndrewFenicheleveryone’s opinions change. I agree with you.
If kleber was healthy I’d be really confident in my mavs, without him I’m very nervous tho
Tbh ANT gonna sauce Luka right back.
3-0
Ant only had 1 decent game lmao. Where was he at 1-3 ?
MAVS WITH THE DUB🗣️🔥
Honestly neither of the western teams has what it takes to beat Boston
Well that’s just dumb. You can argue the Celtics would win, but either of these teams winning would have my bet over the Celtics. If the twolves advance, remember how Jaylen brown got exposed for a bad handle last year? McDaniels and Alexander walker would make it happen again. If the mavs win? The Celtics would have the same issue everyone else had. Nobody’s stopping Luka.
Bro if the Celtics were in the western conference they’d probably have the 5 seed 😭
I agree, nobody stopping whoever is cursing the Celtics’ opponent’s best player. Wait till Ant or luka get season ending injury game 2 of the finals
@@trevorhe3103 what basis do u have that they will get a season ending injury? You can’t just say ant is gonna get injured because u want the Celtics to win
what they say every year...beat pacers first lol
This take is looking better and better
Who tf are you talking about? I haven't seen anybody sleep on them, just because some people picked the wolves doesn't mean the world is sleeping on dallas lol YT sports "media" has officially gotten as bad as tv
Stop…. Everyone picked the wolves and the Mavs are always slept on ever since Dirk. I’ve watched every Mavs game since 1996. They are always slept on and so is Luka. Why do u think he gets less respect (other than the fact he is white) than other players beneath him.
They’re underdogs in every series Lukas ever played lol
You fool
Luka has never been the betting favorite in a playoff series, despite making the Conference Finals in 2 out of 3 years.
If the Celtics win do a face and voice reveal Andrew 🔥🔥🔥
Mavs Celtics finals Celtics in 6
Celtics gonna fold when they actually play a decent team
I don't gamble but my gosh every once in a while everyone is wrong and it is obvious. This is one of those times. Dallas is absolutely winning this series.
Bro the Mavs are not that good they only got Kyrie and Luca their depth is way overachieving they should be their normal selves soon cause they have been like this since the trade deadline.The TWolves will win this series theyy have three bigs and they're depth is so good 6th man of the year Naz Reid Nickeil Alexander Walker is a good defender as well is Jaden McDaniels the Wolves are the 2020 Lakers
Those three bigs are useless bow since they're guarding a superstar guard not a superstar big man.
Yeah yeah yeah, you’re down 2-0 fam
How’s that working out for you
Thank you 2-0 😂😂😂
BRING OUT THE BROOMSS
Fr I’ve had the Mavs either winning it all or making it to the finals since the playoffs were set, they have the best backcourt in basketball and if the D shows up, and their bigs are effective no one is gonna beat em, however the Twolves match up decently well I think it will go to 6-7 games but I’m praying for the Mavs to win. Typically you need to lose in the playoffs before you win it all
Same dawg at the start of 2023 I said mavs winning it all next year
And your Boston v. Mavs prediction?
Another one of your amazing predictions? 😂😂😂😂 bro just play 2K u know nothing abt bball
Stop hating, I don't see you making content
What were you talking about? Game two's over and guess what 🤣🤣🤣
2-0. Keep talking
2-0 bitch
3-0🤡
I agree. I think the Mavs win. However, I think the main reason ppl pick the Timberwolves is just bias. Everyone in my city is going Timberwolves just because they havent won the finals before. The wolves are also very likeable, which makes them a fan favorite.
bro andrew actually just shut up
Stop spamming cause you mad
Mavs in 4.
2-0 bitch
It’s his job to post sports content dumbass
@@DillonBrooks1 yo you might be right
McDaniels, NAW, and Ant will lock down mavs 🔒
3-0
Ant did not lock up Kyrie bro was getting cooked mavs in 5🥶
Mavs transfer was 10/10 gafford and Washington change this team also lively, luka get everything he need to fight for his first ring. Lively and Gafford Play amazing on defense lively also on offense, on Washington with okc series looks like a third star in this team, also good hardaway, green and exum for the bench
Luka and ant will meet in the olympics again as Slovenia Vs USA probably
aged well!
As a twolves fan, I’m way more scared of the mavs than the nuggets. They have looked deadly ever since the trade deadline
As a Mavs fan ty !
I love how people said that Jaden will lock up Luka, then how did Luka get 33 points?
welp mavs up 3-0 cant believe this
Ant and mcdaniels are both amazing defenders
They’ll lock down kyrie and Luka
I agree
Lmao
aged good
Yup Luka averaging 33 in the last 2 games being locked down and are 2-0 😂😂😂
3-0 now
Nah keep sleeping. We love it
Finally somebody said it
The only thing im worried for the mavs is if Kat turns it up a notch
If gobert becomes a rebounding machine then i would say the wolves. The wolves offense tends to be streaky at times. I dont see anyone shutting down ant. Kyrie going to be a head ache and luke will be unguardable. Wolves might go for zone defense
People have slept on both teams but at this point it’s a guessing game
Still got Timberwolves in this series in 7
Mavs in 5🥶
Literally every podcast and nba media person I listen too is picking either mavs or Wolves in 7. Who is sleeping on them ?
I cant find the comment anymore but i would like to apologize to somone who i told mavs in 6...i would like to make it mavs in 4
Hot take: If you swap out Kawhi with Bam and slip AD at the 4, All NBA second team is going to win against All-NBA first in a seven game series
I feel like no matter who wins it’s going to game 7 and it’s gonna be close every game
Nah the wolves will sweep
such a casual
@@hdbdsnnddb7767? What Will they do
@@hdbdsnnddb7767Already down 0-1
@@hdbdsnnddb7767the wolves just lost, they can’t anymore
I like the mavs so I am biased. I have a hard time having confidence in the mavs. I like the take tho.
And Antman is awesome these playoffs he has been putting up big numbers playing really good defense if he has a off night sharing the ball making big winning plays
Everyone who was on the Shai/OKC bandwagon is hopping on the Ant/Minnesota bandwagon lol keep counting the Mavs out, see how that goes
damn dude especially on the ball pressure point. crazy how different jamal murray and kyrie are with that ball pressure. granted murray was injured
I wouldn’t put that much stock on Pj shooting as well as he did during the OKC series. He slowed down considerably by game 6, and KAT can guard him fairly effectively I think. Also Ant can probably play defense on Luka relatively well. It’ll be close but I think that the wolves will win the series and probably the championship, and I’m a Celtics fan.
You want the Wolves if you a Cs fan
But no
Nobody is guarding Luka(idk how tf you think Ant is handlin him)
Nobody is guarding Ky
You have to double both
If you double both PJ shoots the same clip Exum and Lively do it as well
Both have an elite defense
Mavs have #1 since the deadline
Wolves have the #6
Mavs just also have a top 3 offense
@@fate8718u are high. Most Celtics fans would want the mavericks over Timberwolves. In their last game, Celtics completely destroyed the mavs while Timberwolves took Celtics to overtime. Also mavs offense ain’t even close to top 3. Heck, wolves scored more points than mavs this playoffs. The Celtics are better at stopping Luka and kyrie than kat and Edwards.
@@fate8718 not at all, I’m not nearly as scared of the Mavs as I am the wolves. In the regular season post deadline we dominated the Mavs when both teams were healthy, and we always struggled against Minnesota. As for ant guarding Luka, he’s slightly shorter but just as strong and he’s faster, he obviously won’t completely lock up Luka since that’s impossible but he’s a fantastic matchup for Luka. Jaden McDaniels can do the same to Kyrie, since he has the size to bother Kyrie and the speed to keep up with him. I doubt the wolves double much and Gobert will do a fantastic job guarding the rim since Lively and Gafford aren’t spacers. Again I think it’s a lose series but the Wolves defense is probably the best I’ve seen since at least the 22 Celtics, and their offense is good enough to put away Denver, who are better than the Mavs defensively, so I think the wolves will win in 6 or 7
If Kat guards PJ then that's bringing Kat out to the perimeter and we've all seen how Gobert looked against the Mavs when he was on Utah. If Kleber comes back it's a wrap. His 3pt ability will pull Gobert out of the paint. So that's both bigs taken care of
@IndieMerchantSam You never saw Dallas post deadline
And you shutting down Luka was Luka getting a 35 point triple double
And Ant isnt guarding Luka
Thats one of them unguardable mfs
Dallas has 2 of them
They also have the best defense in the league
Whatever you think Minnesota can do
Dallas can better
