Having Rudy on Doncic seemed like a crucial error, and the refs missing the foul on Kyrie where the Mavericks got possession on the out of bounds play was a big no call.

Much of the to game it felt like quick whistles on the Wolves, several times where a foul wasn't made, but they were slow to whistle the Mavericks for the 1st 3 quarters, and then the miss on the obvious foul by Kyrie in the 4th quarter.

NBA replay SUCKS ASS.

DONCIC is a whiny BITCH.

RUDY should not have been on the floor the last play.

NAZ was great until it really mattered.

We choked it away after late 2nd Q.

Ant, KAT and Rudy need to show up. So many defensive lapses. Everyone around the world watching that game knew Dallas was playing for the 3 yet Rudy got stuck defending Luka all alone at the arc. And yes, Rudy shouldn't even have been on the floor at that point.

After that, I don't know.

After watching the Denver series, it seems like the T-Wolves really thrive as an underdog, and don't do well as a favorite.

So it probably won't be surprising if the T-Wolves lose again tonight, but then go into Dallas in win the next 2 games there.

Wide open 8-10 footers passed up alot.

Anthony Edwards before this fall:

30.6 PPG
54.1 FG%
42.2 3P%
65.7 TS%

Anthony Edwards since this fall:

18.7 PPG
29.8% FG
31.0 3P%
44.3 TS%

So Mavs in 6 games.

I also think Finch isn't doing anything to counter what Dallas is doing.

How much of Doncic's game is based on explosiveness?

Knees are a huge factor when you shoot and play defense.

What would you have had them add? At the time of the trade deadline the Wolves were the #1 seed in the West. The bench was considered a strength, except for a lack of a backup PG. Morris was considered a very good pickup at the time of the trade. Comparisons to the Twins many trade deadline failures is absurd.

I think the moment is clearly too big for KAT and Rudy isn't far behind. They're making Edwards carry this team on his back and he needs someone to rely on and play off of like Luka and Irving play off each other. KAT and Rudy are just completely outclassed PJ and Lively this series.

Status: offline 		I find it amazing that no NBA team has ever come back from down 3-0. I get that it should be exceedingly rare, but not once?

So what are The Wolves chances? I say extremely slim but not zero. The reason it hasn’t happened is, of course in order to get down 3-0 the better team has won. So the odds of a worse team winning 4 straight is minuscule.

If ever a team could do it though, it would be a series like this. Dallas is not a clearly better team. They are roughly equal say. They have just won 3 coin flips in a row.

So do I expect the Wolves to make history? No. Bit the chance is not zero, as history might suggest. They’d have to now win 4 coin flips in a row. The chance of doing that is 1/16.
