make the ball down for two, there's the ingenuity, go hold on there, donic Maneuvers to take the lead, I've got it, I've got it, what a shot he's got taking the lead, he's going towards the setup for three. Dallas are Mavericks, they go up two

, that's right, come to me, stop, yeah, tell them Dirk nitki be the same. Wow, that's right, that man had Twinkle Toes of him coming out there. Pat Ms caught everyone's attention that L J shot where you're on J. Sorry, I bet. against you three games in a row, I will never do that again, my goodness, the Dallas Mavericks have now done to the Minnesota Timberwolves what the Minnesota Timberwolves did to the Denver Nuggets and that is go to their place and win the first two games of the series Minnesota went on to eliminate the Champions uh Dallas up two nothing and went home uh against the Minnesota Timberwolves with the opportunity to move on to the NBA Finals what's the what's the movement in your head?

Well, I know the question is, can they do it now? the same thing Denver did and win the next two and the answer is no, no chance, it's not happening what game on Sunday Tuesday Henry Charlie, big daddy, see you win, oh come on, I'll see you tomorrow, you're saying sweep, Yeah, Ernie. I told you before the game, you said what they can do different, that's nothing they can do different, Dallas only made a few shots tonight, it's just a bad matchup, you know, Dre and I sat downstairs watching, I said, You know, what's really ironic about this is that this is.

It was simply a bad matchup for the Wolves because the Denver Nuggets would actually defeat the Mavs. These are matchups in a seven-game series. It's not about who is the best team. It's about them being two big guys and me, you know, that's been it. My criticism of the Wolves man all year when they run into a good three-point shooting team is the only thing they're going to have a problem with, but I mean, it's a one-point game, it's a yes I want. That is, they have earned two Gs, one point. I have won two games by a total of four points.

They need Luca to make three tonight to win, but that's the position you want to be in if you're Dallas. I know, but you sound like. these have been a couple of blowouts and Minnesota doesn't have a chance, no they don't have a chance because exactly what they just had a chance, they just lost, they didn't have a chance, oh let me make a second point, we never thought when they did that. He runs towards Hadad that game was over and the weakness they had in the game was over. The weakness they had when they played against big guys Luca could tell that Luca was going for the three anyone with common sense.

I told him they were going for the three when you put that big guy against a guard, he is roast chicken and when they come out of the pick and roll, this is like Dany Young, why was he in the game? Why he likes this is so easy Ernie, yeah, but you know what I mean, I think. Everyone forgets the fact that if the two stars play well, they play a little better, they are not even in this position, the ant and the cat had to step forward, point blank, the ant had to demand the ball the last few Four minutes and he has to go downhill. like reg said and he has to make every shot he has to take over the game check Anthony Ed is exhausted yes he is there is no such thing as yes he is not he has never been like this in the playoffs I want to hear what is different he has to play better, hey, timeout, although they want to play better, they need to play better, okay, but you have the defensive player of the year, come on, now he has to stop him, yes, he is a defensive player.

I agree with you that he is. a defensive player I agree with you that Draymond from his paint no, you know you have to play defense, it's not the game, you don't just play the timeout, you're pretending you don't do that to most of the people in the In the world, well, it's EAS, it will be easier. Just saying: would you at least admit that it's easier in the center? No, at least you admit it's easy, get it, get it, so to me it's a strategic mistake, meaning you double down like you've been doing. have someone else beat you besides Kyrie or him so it's not like Rudy Gober is dancing Lucas danced a lot of people like he's the best there are three players in the world you don't want to be on that island with Luka. the top of that level that you don't want to be with on the island you don't agree with Draymond, it's just easier to do that in the center.

I'm saying it's a

winner

, it's a no, it should have been. there or not if you're going to change you have to double it don't leave him alone even if it was Jayen McDaniel I would J I wouldn't leave him on the island alone with Luka I don't care so in that case, so in that case, just like you say It's a strategic era, he shouldn't even be in the game, thank you, either he's not in the game or you double down on him, it's like Stan Van Gundy said why not have Carl Anthony Towns in the game at that exact moment? he gave up on the cat.

It seemed like during you don't think he would have done that to the cat. Yes, he would have done it. It is easier. No. Cat C is much more mobile. The cat has much more skill than Lua Dage. It's not that I'm saying I'm more mobile. I just think you're underestimating who Luca is. No, we are not below, we are not below. You're saying he's Rudy's, no he's not, he's a Dre. No one in the world can guard that guy, let me tell you, there's no one in the world who just hit an open three-pointer that wasn't contested.

The only thing I'll say about it is Kenny, if Rudy Rudy can't let him shoot a three if put pressure on him, make him go to the basket and we have a tied game. You can't, you can just tell Luka that he was just going to move and shoot a three. The problem is if I'm an aat, I can't put Rudy on. That 20th position is not good enough and I don't know what, but I agree with you, but listen, listen, I'm going to tell you something you may not agree with. The ant is so tired right now that he has never been this far in the playoffs. he seemed tired you come back if you go back to the seventh game against Denver he didn't play well in the seventh game against Denver and he's not playing no one in the world can guard L we're not talking about ACL now we're talking about Anon EV, when you see that kid walking around up and down the court, he's exhausted, yeah, he's tired, he's tired, listen, he did this before, I mean, listen, because you can tell he was passing the ball when in reality he was, he set up for three, but He was very aggressive but he was tired.

Everyone gets tired. He had never been in this situation before. Even when he was downhill. Luuka when he was downhill. He has to play better and right now I think he has hit the wall, he is walking up and down the court on both sides of the court and if he just stands up while someone else is trying to make a play, he will be gonna. to help because you're not too worried about him shooting
