Naz is always good for 1 or 2 big games Conley is usually steady, and jaden although playing great lately, has been cancelled out by Alexander walker being garbage lately.

    When are we going to acknowledge that the Mavs defense makes for a large part for the shooting inefficiencies of the wolves?! The Mavs rim protection makes it to where the wolves have to rely on jump shots and the Mavs have such a good perimeter defense that they won’t give up too many good looks. The Wolves don’t have much in the way of mid range shots so they’re taking a ton of threes out of rhythm and missing them
