Construction-wise, this Mavs team is like the "Return of LeBron" era Cavs but different at the same time. Luka is like Bron because he's that big playmaker who stuffs the stat sheet, but different because he thrives a lot on skill-based shot creation unlike Bron who thrived mostly on his peak athleticism. Kyrie is still Kyrie, but more enlightened this time because he's seen things both good & bad. PJ Washington is Kevin Love being the resident stretch 4, but different because he's more lanky & athletic than KLove which makes him more switchable on defense. They even have their hustle / rim protection bigs a la Tristan Thompson & Timofey Mozgov in Gafford & Lively, the athletic perimeter stopper a la Iman Shumpert in Derrick Jones Jr., and the volume shooting wing a la JR Smith in THJ. Oh, I think I almost forgot... they even have that Aussie playmaker off the bench a la Delly in Dante Exum to cap off the borderline eerie similarities between both teams. 👀

In fubol (soccer,) there is the saying, "joga bonito," meaning "the beautiful game" or "play beautifully" to describe one's elegant and beautiful way of playing. Kyrie Irving is the embodiment of this phrase. He may not be the best basketball player ever, but man, is he the most esthetic amd fun to watch.

The fact that they were so atrocious from 3 is both promising and worrying for the mavs. They had to work so hard and do all this wizardry to keep up with Wolves who simply made their 3s. Yet that they managed to do that at doesn't bode well for the Wolves. If just a couple more 3-balls fall this game is a blowout. It will be interesting to see how both teams adjust and I'm especially curious if Ant will step it up cause he honestly didn't look that great.

I don't know it's possible it's over but, if the wolves figure out how to play their game again, they might still win it. Dalles looked stronger but Luka and Kyrie played absolutely incredibly crafty. The question is will they be able to keep it up if the wolves just bumb em on every possession instead of trying to stop 🛑 them and focus on their own offence a little more. It's gonna be a battle of will again so, even if they make it through the finals will be incredible tough (exhaustion). As far as defense goes, don't even try to fully stop Kyrie and Luka, just play physical on every possession and get the rebounds. Then with that extra energy make your shots and the wolves win, cause it's two against 5 or 2 vs 4 out there. But it's incredibly fun to watch.
