    This series is going 6. Minny will win the next one too.

    T-Wolves were down 3-2 to Denver, won 2 straight to take the series. Can Minnesota win 3 in a row against Dallas?? The 0-3 curse has yet to be broken.

    Maybe, game 7 would be in Minn.

    I bet whoever wins game 6 will win the West.

    This wouldn't be the first time Dallas has been pushed to a game 7 after taking a 3-0 lead. I'm here for the Wolves doing it.

    This win just avoids a sweep, but losing in 5 is still not competitive.

    If Minnesota can win game 5 it'll make this a real series.

    That would put a lot of pressure on Dallas. Yeah 3-0 teams are 154-0 or whatever - but one of these years were gonna see a team do it.

    Eventually it would seem so but my feeling on this is Dallas gets this in 6.

    WCF is overdue for a blowout. Game 5 will be won by double digits and won't be close

    Timberwolves are 5 point favorites tonight. Everyone thinks the Mavs are gonna get clobbered.

    KAT found his shot
    Rudy is Gobert-nating
    Conley is playing Aces
    Edwards reclaimed his Specimen powers, the David Robinson of guards.

    the only problem with hyping up Minnesota is... you can't ignore how well Dallas is closing games. Can the Mavs 2 All-Star guards, hard working role players, and smart coaching, put the finishing touch on this series tonight??

    That is the key for sure. Mavs just need to keep it close. I still pick Minn tonight and Dallas in 6.

    that was Jason Kidd's Mavs, with "The Jet" Jason Terry, and pro-scrapper JJ Barea.

    You're talking about 2011.

    I'm talking about Sheed era where Dallas went up 3-0 and we forced Game 7

    Dallas winning the NBA Finals would be inspirational to more teams.

    If the template for winning is Boston, not many team can assemble what they have done

    This makes Jokics run last year very impressive, like 2011 Dirk
