RE: GAME 3 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) - DallasMaverick - 05-26-2024
Dallas shooting finally coming around. 54% overall, 47% from three.
Minny shooting 45%, but 25% on threes.
Rebounds about even.
5 Minny turnovers, 7 for Dallas.
Concerns? Lively injury, for sure. The foul situation on Gafford and Jones, maybe.
Dallas could cool off significantly, or Minny could heat up. The blitzing defense doesn’t worry me too much.
ESPN has Dallas with an 80% likelihood of victory.
Should be a Dallas win.

lively won't be out too long maybe out for tonight but he'll be back in a few days imho. why not give Morris some minutes though?

Ant is fatigued, as usual..built in excuse

Does the officiating turn our way after letting Wolves manhandle us first half? Or does TB double down on cramming a Minny win down our throats? Cause if it’s winnable, these fellas are gonna find a way to win it.

And KAT’s knee has to be tired too.

Well it should, Gafford is braindead. Lively is Jokic compared to him. Powell can´t get up there. It´s a major blow. We might have to go small ball with Washington, but then it opens up inside for the Wolves. This series was dead, until Towns starts to kick Lively everywhere. Loser.

I wish they would let KAT put a knee to Toney Brothers groin and see if he thinks its a foul or not.

I seriously doubt he's back next game. He's probably out up to a week. That was bad. He was wobbly. Concussions are serious. He'll have to pass all the tests to play again.

get Morris in the game and let Kat have a taste of Morris's elbow.
RE: GAME 3 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) - Chicagojk - 05-26-2024
Along with the 3 fouls, Gafford has 3 turnovers. Let see if we can get him some easy baskets to get his confidence going. If I am Minny I want gaff and Powell to make decisions with the ball

Average in the NFL is nine days. That would be the rest of the series.

Neck sprain!!! Outstanding news!
RE: GAME 3 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) - donzingis38 - 05-26-2024
Lively has neck sprain but not ruled out of the game yet?
RE: GAME 3 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) - BigDirk41 - 05-26-2024
I'm shocked that wasn't a concussion

Questionable

Kidd recently mentioned it post game. Can trust Kyrie on challenges. Cannot trust Luka. He is going to ask for it even if he knows he touched the ball. But I guess it doesn't matter because the Mavs have lost their challenge.
RE: GAME 3 Playoffs 2024: Minnesota Timberwolves (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2-0) - The Jom - 05-26-2024
Man they’ve been generous to us with free throws early this quarter. A sea change in how this game has been officiated thus far.

Wait, please don't turn into Denver fans. I've enjoyed this forum for it's knowledge and not consistent complaining about officials. If you think MN is getting all of the calls this game..yikes.

Looked like goaltending. Lucky break for the Mavs.

it'd be nice if Gafford could get a rebound
