I agree to that,  we can't tell whether who's going to be better though from how they are playing the game there's really a noticeable improvement from Brown's performances and if he will continue doing that there's a big possibility that he might earn the finals MVP though still early for that, it's still a long series as knowing how the pacers played this  season they always good in doing the adjustments that they needed,  more on how they will going to play at home to avoid taking the early rest from this series.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks will start in 1 hour. Game 2 of the series, Dallas won the first game.
Minnesota can win this game, but my favorite is Dallas again.
I think they will win the cup this year.

I predict that the final matchup will be Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks and Dallas will be the champion.

Luka is carrying the Mavs the whole game and if the Wolves can't lock him down, I don't see a chance of them winning.

Luka is a monster, he made Rudy dance.  
0-2.

Chuck said the Timberwolves don't have a chance to win. I disagree. They almost won that game today but Luka is just doing his normal things and it went in.
Wrong strategic plan, Kenny was right and so was Coach Stan Van Gundy. They all know that the Mavs are going for the win, every person who has basketball knowledge actually knows it will be Luka who will do the final shot. Why put Rudy? He is great at protecting the paint but not against guards on outside shots.
A very big mistake in planning the last defensive possession.
Actually, the stars on both teams did not play well today because of the hard defense. Kyrie only got 20 points and Edwards only had 21 points.
The pressure is on the Mavs next game, they must keep that hunger to win the game if they want a sweep.

I don't understand the Timberwolves and what Finch has told them to do when they're on a big lead. They keep on shooting outside and threes and they keep on missing.

They have a lot of turnovers and then until the Mavs able to cope with their lead, they have to real shoot the threes. Thanks to Naz Reid, to be honest he's able to carry the team not until that very last three that has been passed to him, I thought that he'd be on a three's streak.

But that very needed shot didn't got in.

It's hard to defend against Luka, a slow-mo crossover and you'd never know his eyes where at. Probably at the ring or someone who's free on the three point line.

Poor Timberwolves, got beaten twice.

Maybe they like to get their win on Mavs court.

They don't like that they do but this 2nd lost for the conference finals will definitely going to put some mental battle for each of them.

I wasn't expecting this series to become 2-0, led by the Mavs. ANT has not been consistent for how many games already. Although he is scoring in double digits, it's far from impressive considering he had a lot of field goal attempts. Tonight, he only made 5 out of 17. Also, KAT. One of the Wolves' problems is consistency in offense, unlike in Dallas, where they have Doncic.

Yeah these two really help the team to lead. At first, when they are up like 15 points, I thought it's going to be a blowout win by the Wolves and they'll even the series, but slowly the Mavericks came back and the Wolves offense slowly to deteriorate. Reid was really awesome, he was almost perfect in the 3 point  are until he miss 1 and then miss the supposed game winning shot.

The role players played well but the starters really struggled in this games.

Edwards    5-17
Towns     4-16
McDaniels 1-6

And they are outrebounded again by the smaller Mavs. And look at these two bigs from the mavs, you can appreciate their consistency.

Gafford 8-10
Lively II 6-6


He didn't start strong but in the 4th quarter, a barrage of 3 point shots were on display that was able to keep them close with the Wolves.
That turnover by ANT in less than a minute was huge, and because of that Dallas were able to call a timeout, design a great play that resulted to a winning shot by Luka.

So who's the real MVP now?

They are giving false hope to their fans since imagine that they are dominating on early quarter and they really show an impressive performance which leave some thoughts to their fans that they are winning. But they always come up short especially when it comes in late quarter. They allow Dallas to execute their plays and eat those big leads that's why they got choked and lose. Lucky they have Naz Reid always giving them some hope since he is so consistent on this series.

I wonder what Dallas feel on the last shot take by Reid since for sure they provably got nervous when he take that shot knowing that he is capable to knock that off especially that he is doing good on 3 pt area but he come up short with that. Game 3 I think it became more questionable to them since as we see right now that Dallas is already gaining a lot of confident for winning 2 consecutive games on the road. Luka is also hurt since he got a lot of injury but he still provide a solid performance to help his team to win on game two. His clutch 3 point is so solid and that secure Dallas to win this game.
