Makes 0 sense. They treating him as if he?s Josh Giddey but Naz is a decent 3 point shooter

I guess they have no to play him because exum has dropped off really bad since his regular season production

He has played really well. Ive only seen 1 rotation error. But he also had a big steal on Rudy

12 is way closer than it should be when we're losing the rebounding battle by 10, can't defend, and can't score.

Lukai - 32% from the field, 38% from three

12 isn?t insurmountable. Defense finally picked it up at end of the quarter would be closer without a few offensive mishaps there late.

Has he really?
I think he's shooting like 30% and anytime he shoots in the paint it's usually a block shot or forced shot by him.
Now he did have like 4 assist game 1 which is good
But in terms of shooting and defense I still think he's been sub part at best.
Again because of exum falling off a cliff this post season they have to use him.

I am calling it now. After that Gobert hit on Luka, watch us explode in the 2nd half. We had 2 airballs in the first half. Easy missed shots at the rim. Minnesota played damn near as well as they could have. We are the clutchest team in the league for a reason. Let Kidd make his adjustments.
I feel good about this one. It's only 12 instead of 20. Kyrie and Luka can get you that in less than 4 minutes.

Rough 1st half but I think if they can close out better on defense and then get either kyrie or Luka to have a big 3rd qtr they can make a run in the 2nd half.
After seeing Minnesota these 1st two games I believe the mavs have strong chance of winning this series in 6 games. I'm just not that impressed with Edwards or Towns

We?re seeing why they got to the WCF. Seemed to have shrugged off the loss just fine.

I know Kyrie can suddenly make 7 straight in the fourth and go from 22% (2-9) and somehow end the game shooting 57% (9-16) but its kind of disappointing how Kyrie has started this game-- and played a lot of the playoffs.

Edwards is shooting like 30% give him that shot all day from 3 but don't lose track of Reid
