I think this series is going to be great. I think Minny will win but who knows. If Luka and Kyrie can shoot the lights out it might mitigate some of what the Twolves do defensively.
You're right, but Luka and Kyrie are pretty similar to Jokic and Murray as a combo.
Just don't get into a close-out situation with Kyrie and they should be ok.

Yes, I think Dallas needs to have both of them rolling to have a chance to take the series. I think Minny is going to frustrate the heck out of Luka. If he is spending his time crying to the refs they have done their job.
reply
As you've mentioned before, Kyrie is 14-0 in close out games. If they ever get to a close out situation, I would not bet against Kyrie.

Minny needs to avoid 3 losses at all costs.

What are you expecting?
I picked Minny in 6 for the pick 'em and I think 5 games are more likely than 7.
reply
I think 6 is about right. Dallas will win a couple games. Minny's D might not have an off night but their shooting probably will. We have seen some some pretty dry stretches from the offense especially when the Nuggets were locking down Ant Man. Also, I think Luka and or Kyrie will have at least one insane game and will the Mavs to victory. So 4-2 seems about right.
reply
My thinking was basically that Luke will win one for Dallas and KAT will lose one for Minnesota.

Shouldn't I be cheering for Dallas since they are 50% of my remaining field bet? Why am I rooting for the TWolves against myself? Haha.

Because you want to see them devour the Celtics in the Finals.
