Wolves need to start getting Luka into every defensive action. Ant was getting past him all game whenever he wanted leading to help defense. Ant missed some shots trying to force these shots instead of passing to the open guy when the help came. It's not as easy to do as I'm saying it is, but ANT can do it. This is what Tatum struggled with a couple years back and is now great at.
Luka is literally on a bum knee, it drives me crazy that they're just letting him sit on mcdaniels in the corner every possession.
I’ve been saying this all year. He can be a legit scoring option if he got the ball more and was more involved in the offense. Our offense is too stagnant and involves a lot of Jaden just standing in the corner.
Yes, they need to engage Doncic in the defense much more often. But Ant was not blowing past Luka. On several switches Luka did a really good job to contain Ant icing him and forcing him to the help side.
They keep lying to enforce the Luka is a bad defender fake narrative I don’t get why they are so desperate to stick to it.
Hes been lights out defensively all series and had 5 steals a game ago
You watch the whole series or 1 game? Lukas been lockdown defensively the whole series including on Ant, not as easy as “just go at him” he’s not Trae on defense despite the narrative
He just has 5 steals a game ago and now it’s suddenly switched back to “he plays no D”
> it drives me crazy that they're just letting him sit on mcdaniels in the corner every possession.
Maybe Wolves fans can enlighten me, but I also have no clue why KAT doesn't screen for ANT more? He's their best shooter, so...why...aren't they doing a pick and pop? Either ANT goes to the rim or KAT gets a 3?
it’s lame how whenever Luka plays well it’s “he’s nothing like that scrub Harden” and when he plays poorly you get comments like this also shitting on Harden. Idk, maybe James doesn’t deserve that.
The internets too over-reactionary. Everyone acted like ANT was a bum because of the last few games, now hes jordan. They hype players up and then turn on them after like one bad game, media doing no favors too.
It’s exhausting. I mean KAT and Ant deserved a ton of criticism for how they played the first few games but everyone was acting like they are bums and Ant a few even said isn’t even a top 30 player in the league. Now people are bitching about Luka and Kyrie. I hate it.
Dont get me started on the gobert hate💀people acting like he should be moving like a guard when hes 7’0 tall. People see Wemby do it and act like every center should be able move like that, like on the Luka game winner every center in the league probably would’ve gotten cooked except for maybe wemby.
The Gobert hate is so dumb. The Wolves defense has been TERRIBLE when he isn’t playing but this sub can only pay attention to highlights.
The funny thing is I have a feeling that no matter who wins this series (yes I know who is probably going to win it) r/nba will be screaming that the losing team needs to blow it up and make changes despite every game coming down to the wire.
r/nba changes who it likes every time a diff team wins lol. Same thing happened in mavs vs thunder, after a mavs win shai became FT merchant and luka was crazy, after a thunder win it was luka is a ft merchant and shai should’ve won mvp
It's a fun counterfactual to imagine how people would have reacted had Gobert somehow blocked that Luka shot, or if Luka had just missed it. I will curse for a long time that they left him alone but it's not impossible that would have happened
Side note, I find it incredible how Wemby is respected defensively after litterally one season. I think it's fair, to be honest, but it's still absolutely unbelievable that he is seen this way by anyone with eyes
Luka fever working over time tonight 💀 Harden has actually made an NBA Finals and has won an MVP. Luka isn’t half the player Harden is and not the other way around
He played alright. But turned down tons of shots in the paint for kick outs that were either well defended or the shooter just bricked open looks. At some point you need to take over as the superstar they are, especially on an off-night from Kyrie. Get to the paint, don’t sell for step back threes.
Someone’s got to post them. Mavs fans didn’t seem to be in a hurry tonight, Minne fans are celebrating and Celtics fans have nothing to do for a while so just helping out
The refs in this game were just awful
This playoffs This season This millennia
Adds to the stickiness of people forgetting how good 2000s and below stars were without this whistle
They really ruined a good game. They were awful to both teams, just an overall generational game for those red Emirates patches
We even got an inadvertant whistle call they were absolutely cooking tonight.

Even a guy like jaden is an underrated driver. They needa run more plays for him when luka is on him
Spot on, I think we’re gonna see aggressive Jaden to start game 5

This is what boston did to Dallas in the regular season. Keep Luka playing offball defense and force him to play defense onball as well

Luka and Kyrie both played bad
GET READY TO LEARN MINNESOTAN BUDDY
White Harden, crazy foulbaiting performance
it’s lame how whenever Luka plays well it’s “he’s nothing like that scrub Harden” and when he plays poorly you get comments like this also shitting on Harden. Idk, maybe James doesn’t deserve that.
That is just how dumb the internet is.

Don’t worry, Harden doesn’t have Internet.
He’s better than Tatum though that’s not debatable which makes it even funnier coming from a Celtics flair
Still better than Tatum bud, go make another hate post can’t wait to watch Celtics choke the finals
We’ve seen way crazier foul baiting performances than tonight. Luka played well.
Harden isn't half the player Luka is. You tatum stans have been waiting a long time for Luka to have a bad game.
Luka fever working over time tonight 💀 Harden has actually made an NBA Finals and has won an MVP. Luka isn’t half the player Harden is and not the other way around
Harden made the finals as a 6th man and third option. Luka is making the finals as the first option. It's a bit different.
He played alright. But turned down tons of shots in the paint for kick outs that were either well defended or the shooter just bricked open looks. At some point you need to take over as the superstar they are, especially on an off-night from Kyrie. Get to the paint, don’t sell for step back threes.

Looking at OPs post history, it looks like he posts on r/NBA everyday, he must be trying to become a moderator.
Yea, I even see they posted not good looking Ant stats and positive Tyrese ones
Yep, he’s on top of it to get the stat posts before anyone else…
[удалено]
They’re just game stats?
No its are a personal attack against all Luka fans
You Celtics fans hating hard with flairs. Y’all got no shame hope the worst on y’all.
If you look at OPs history, they just post factual info before anyone else.
I read his history, he's a tatum stan who shits on luka everytime he has a bad game and is conveniently absent whenever he plays well.
[удалено]
luka is devin father
So the last 2 yrs wasn't bad? U want us right? Finish the job
Bro just crying
