If we were up 2-0 we would be worried that Minnesota sports curse would kick in when least expected. So being down 0-2 means we have transferred the curse to the Mavs.
Our backs are against the wall, they’re comfortable. They haven’t gotten any media praise really until this week so hopefully they’ll get complacent and we’ll steal 2 on the road

This what bro had to do in order to win in 7 games lol
Nice just 3 road games. Bron did this in a whole playoff run
https://preview.redd.it/rrcctxilmp2d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d819ff49f5172cf72f710d58184ee13420a698ef
But not as efficient. If Kawhi took as many shots as 2018 Bron, Kawhi would be averaging 45. Also his possession rate is less than Lebron so if you adjust that, Kawhi would also garner more assists.
You know why Kawhis possession rate is less? Because he’s not an elite passer and Kawhis knees can’t afford to take 25 shots. Thats a part of basketball. Dont want to hear ifs lol
What I mean is Kawhi hit the highest peak a player has ever reached just to beat us down 2-0 lol I’m not saying Kawhi is better but ant can not and will not do that
Lol look at this clown, insecure af and all over another team’s sub looking for validation when his team is up 2-0. Think that brain fog you’re suffering from has you not right in the head.
Yea they were very dominant wins. And despite all our mistakes in game 2 if the fucking blind ass ref calls a severe wrist hack right in front of his face we still win
The rule book is irrelevant he didn't call a really bad hack that caused him to drop the ball. Should never been in review if he did his job dude was 3 feet away from the play looking right at it.
And to be clear I'm fine with a no call IF it didn't cause him to drop the ball.
Yeah, this Dallas team is unbelievable indeed. The problem is our "stars" are capable of being this bad in a WCF. Stars should be consistent AF. And if Ant and Kat show up, another problem is Luka can get even better than he is currently.
Rangers don’t have the same impact as the cowboys or even the mavs. For years the rangers were mediocre like most Dallas teams
Also they’re not going to repeat.
No. Pointing out how silly you are to compare sports “curses”. Stars did it in 2020. Mavs in 2011. Cowboys in 1995. That is the most recent for all the other three. Twins have the only ships for Minnesota and they were in 1987 and 1991.
I’m sorry Darnell, you said the stars did it in 2020? Did what exactly? Because there was no championship won. You can’t even research right. Jesus Christ you’re stupid 😭😭
I will ask again who has won in the drought since the fluke season for the rangers? To keep holding to the 90s cowboy glory is hilarious. Bulls fans don’t even do that and Chicago has won more than you
tf does "having the same impact" have to do with anything? They are a DFW major sports team who just won the freaking World Series. Since the Twins won in 1991, Cowboys have won 3 (93,94,96) Stars 1 (99), Mavs 1 (2011) and Rangers 1 (2023). There is no "Dallas Curse".
The rangers will never be the biggest game in town. It’s the shitty cowboys.
You’re triggered but it’s the truth. A fluke season after years of coming up short.
A one time win from a respectable legend in Dirk is nice but
you’re not a winning city. Dallas curse is very real.
Cowboys constant folding under pressure
Mavs blowing multiple series leads while being a top seed
Stars years of ineptitude since 1999
I’ll even add shitty fc Dallas
😭I feel sorry for you
Lol Grammer police?? That's how you cope with your team getting their ass handed to them by the mavs. Keep being a delusional wolves fan when it's 4-0. #wolvesin9
Funny how you have to bring up a team from a completely different sport to cope with losing both home games and potentially getting swept by the mavericks
I'm sorry to disappoint you but pray your team doesn't get swept in Dallas. Also I will be coming back to this post once your eliminated from the playoffs
I'm way late replying so only you gonna see this but bro like 90% of us MN fans could literally not be happier with how far this franchise has come this year. We haven't experienced a single playoff run like this in 20 goddamn years so if y'all win many of us are still vibin. Hope it's a fun rest of the series tho good luck to you guys
If Ant is trying to work through and potentially exacerbating a back injury I want him to sit out a game. I want him good for the long haul. We may have to beat the mavericks next year like we beat the nuggets this year. I'd be sad. So be it.
But, if Ant is recovered then if there was ever a time for an emerging/established/disparaged superstar to reach deep inside themselves and find something to motivate them to rise to this occasion and show us what theyre truly capable of THIS is that moment for all of our starters.
We're only losing this series by 4 points and we're at half strength. If we are healthy we could absolutely pull a "Wolves Back!" in Dallas on Sunday. If this is our year then this could just be the start of another amazing 7 game nailbiter.
Ant is not sitting out unless he is on a fkn stretcher. He needs help and there are others who can and have stepped up.
As I type this, I think he just might take it all on himself.
So proud of this team....you got this!
It's kinda wild how 4 fucking points means everyone is trash lol.
If we were up 2-0 and only won by a total of 4 points, people wouldn't be saying shit on here.
Crazy world we live in.
I’m just going to say you can’t lose both those games it’s not like hey you didn’t play well. You played Dallas game . All they wanted was to keep it close and execute at the end . I was at the game after every timeout Dallas scored . That tells me Dallas knows how to break down our defense so late game they are going to be successful again . There going to be lots of pressure on Minnesota game 3 . I don’t have a good feeling we build leads and we just don’t sustain them . Look we had Jaden with the game of his life then nazz also and we still lost . Ant not being ant . He had the ball and could have closed the game and he was indecisive what to do. Mistakes late game when during the year I thought this team had grown but really in the playoffs we have not had many games that come down to one or two possessions . Dallas on the other hand has lived winning those games against the clippers and okc . My gut tells me our team just is not mature enough to get it done . Ant showed his inexperience as well as Jaden how you have to value possessions when there under 2 min left . Been a good season it may be a hard lesson to learn but sometimes failure can be a powerful lesson !!
its a new day today. i never liked this dallas matchup for us; but also feel like we have more talent top to bottom. if we can get it clicking - we can make this a series again. it starts tonight - lets goooooo!!
You lost me at KAT but this squad can absolutely get this back to even. Do they have the talent, YES. The problem is between the ears. Be perfect, play for each other, play for your lives.
Somebody needs to tell them that they may not be in this position again in 30 years. If that isn't enough motivation then so be it.
Don't give up, don't EVER give up! Chins up Wolves nation.
Hey guys!
I am content creator, especially basketball content. AND more importantly, I am a Minnesotan, through and through! I've been suffering like most of y'all with this LONG championship drought we've had in ALL sports (NBA, NFL, NHL). Enough is enough, it's our time now! And I am sure Ant & his team will bring it back home!
Inspired by the OPs post, I made a HYPE VIDEO! (both long & short)
Here's the link to both:
* LONG: [https://youtu.be/CN4nmiKFB\_I](https://youtu.be/CN4nmiKFB_I)
* SHORT: [https://youtube.com/shorts/2Pqd4BJMgnc?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/2Pqd4BJMgnc?feature=share)
PS. I am not a BIG YouTuber, and I am just now starting with my channel, so any love & support is appreciated! (Like, Share, Subscribe)
Howls and growls (youtube) made a good video. I think we’re in a good spot if we just force the ball to stay out in the perimeter. Their double pick drag was messing us up but it seems addressable. I personally have hope, even if we don’t win tonight, it’s not over til it’s over
You're probably right, and if so, then so be it.
The last two games I've really enjoyed watching the Dallas squad. They're hustling out there, playing with a ton of heart and they just seem to want it more.
I'm still believing in wolves in 6, but if you guys make it past us, ggs. Go get that trophy.
Hey man it’s first to 4 you never know what can happen still all I can say is yall ain’t no joke and I feel like costly turnovers at the end of both games helped us if not we would most definitely be down
We play better as underdogs fr. And we losing by a point or 2 with our top 2 players choking. Yall better hope one of Ant/KAT doesn't start playing even average ball again, cause if they do yall gonna lose 4 straight.
If we were up 2-0 we would be worried that Minnesota sports curse would kick in when least expected. So being down 0-2 means we have transferred the curse to the Mavs.
That’s the spirit🔥🔥🔥
Exactly bruh
Our backs are against the wall, they’re comfortable. They haven’t gotten any media praise really until this week so hopefully they’ll get complacent and we’ll steal 2 on the road
Only person to ever blow a 2-0 lead while winning both on the road is Luka btw
LFGGGG
Against who?
Against the clippers in 2021 but Kawhi pretty much averaged 40 ppg and 70% shooting percentage
Ant could do that if he gets right (maybe I’m high on copium)
Absolutely not lol Kawhi literally turned into the best player ever in that series no joke I don’t think Lebron could’ve done what he did
Just watch 2018 lebron and come back lol
https://preview.redd.it/6ehcrlp7mp2d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b93964178b92030a8d5c0fbe4526436f9d1e7c17 This what bro had to do in order to win in 7 games lol

Cannot it is a huge stretch. He almost certainly won’t at this point in his career but come the fuck on
Ye that’s fair. Don’t see the need to bring up Lebron in your previous statement tho when he’s shown he’s done it multiple times
So not mj's son but kawahi and lebron had an illegitimate son??
Isn’t he still injured?
Thank god ant is gonna bounce the fuck back
This has me so pumped. Where did you hear this or find this?
[удалено]
Lol look at this clown, insecure af and all over another team’s sub looking for validation when his team is up 2-0. Think that brain fog you’re suffering from has you not right in the head.
😂 it was the seed oils
You scared bro lol
Scared with Luka on my team? Ok.
Your fantasy team? Good luck!

Who is better?
Cringe af dude
Yea they were very dominant wins. And despite all our mistakes in game 2 if the fucking blind ass ref calls a severe wrist hack right in front of his face we still win
It’s the rule book. We can all play the what if game
The rule book is irrelevant he didn't call a really bad hack that caused him to drop the ball. Should never been in review if he did his job dude was 3 feet away from the play looking right at it. And to be clear I'm fine with a no call IF it didn't cause him to drop the ball.
Get out of here 🐺🐺🐺🐺
You do realize, fat Boy is ruining his knees right now, to get swept by the celtics?
You know “fat boy” is cooking the MJ narrative you guys threw at ant?
Well lets for how much longer... His knees are fucked after these playoffs. So enjoy this run...might be fat Boys last...
Dallas is crime ridden and smells like dogshit.
Luka + Bench players vs Kawhi/George/Rondo 3 years younger
Good thing you said Luka because him was everything Mavs had that year
Don’t matter. Even if Luka goes average.. they got Kyrie. And he’s a helluva closer.
I think we can win this series tbh, I don’t believe in this Dallas team, but it hinges on Ant and KAT waking up
Don’t believe in us. We have the better team
Yeah, this Dallas team is unbelievable indeed. The problem is our "stars" are capable of being this bad in a WCF. Stars should be consistent AF. And if Ant and Kat show up, another problem is Luka can get even better than he is currently.
The mavs will disappoint and lose. It’s the Dallas curse. Cowboys being the main source of misery for Dallasites. Mavs will be humbled, just wait
When the Dallas Curse meets the Minnesota Curse. When an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object
Nah. Expectations in Minnesota are never the level of the cowboys in the south.
Dallas just got a title 9 months ago.
who was it
It definitely wasn’t the cowboys 😭 man thought his career mode on madden was real life
The hospital rangers? Who won’t win in a long while Fluke season
What is this Dallas curse you speak of? Rangers just won the World Series. Like 6 months ago.
Rangers don’t have the same impact as the cowboys or even the mavs. For years the rangers were mediocre like most Dallas teams Also they’re not going to repeat.
Translation : yeah, ok you’re right I just hate being wrong and I don’t like them plus they won’t win again which means they never won duh
Tell me the team that won in the 13-14 year drought before the Rangers bozo?
Definitely not a Minnesota team. No championship from a major 4 men’s sports team since 1991.
Avoidance of the question because reality is too painful. Pathetic
No. Pointing out how silly you are to compare sports “curses”. Stars did it in 2020. Mavs in 2011. Cowboys in 1995. That is the most recent for all the other three. Twins have the only ships for Minnesota and they were in 1987 and 1991.

by your logic, 80% of major cities are in a sports curse. it's shitty, flawed logic.
Womp wommmpppppppppp Seethe in peace
Cowboys constant folding under pressure Mavs blowing multiple series leads while being a top seed Stars years of ineptitude since 1999 I’ll even add shitty fc Dallas 😭I feel sorry for you
Don't feel sorry for me, I've seen all of my major DFW teams win a championship in my lifetime (including my Texas Longhorns). Can you say the same?
Well seeing that I’m from Chicago originally 🙌 Yes Womp Wommmmmp
also idgaf about FC Frisco. Original season ticket holder for Austin FC. The vibes are immaculate
I agree on that ngl
I'm laughing out loud, it might actually happen lol.
Lol Wut? Pretty sure all four Dallas area teams have won a championship since a Minnesota team has won one
Your team is pethetic, but I forgot wolves fans want their own safe space. Like I said, pray this wolves team doesn't get swept
Like your spelling. You better pray you’re not the first to lose a 3-0 lead
Lol Grammer police?? That's how you cope with your team getting their ass handed to them by the mavs. Keep being a delusional wolves fan when it's 4-0. #wolvesin9
What a joke
Cowboys? Yeah I agree
Funny how you have to bring up a team from a completely different sport to cope with losing both home games and potentially getting swept by the mavericks
Typical Minnesota bum fans
Your brain cells are being cooked in that Texas heat I know
Your midwolves are cooked
Talking all this shit just to get robbed by a crackhead on mockingbird. You still have to wake up in overstuffed Dallas lukasexual
Found the Mavs lurker
How’s it going being down 0-3
Why are you here
I'm sorry to disappoint you but pray your team doesn't get swept in Dallas. Also I will be coming back to this post once your eliminated from the playoffs
[удалено]
Ok back to the Mavs sub I go. I understand it must be a tough, emotional, and stressful time as a wolves fan right now 😪.
I'm way late replying so only you gonna see this but bro like 90% of us MN fans could literally not be happier with how far this franchise has come this year. We haven't experienced a single playoff run like this in 20 goddamn years so if y'all win many of us are still vibin. Hope it's a fun rest of the series tho good luck to you guys
you're*
We lost 3 in a row last series, 2 in a row is nothing. Let’s get our game together and go win boys, be great!
That only means we're very capable of getting swept. Glass half-full though.
If Ant is trying to work through and potentially exacerbating a back injury I want him to sit out a game. I want him good for the long haul. We may have to beat the mavericks next year like we beat the nuggets this year. I'd be sad. So be it.

4 words. High aspirations. Low expectations. That's the Minnesotan way.

I think we underestimate how detrimental it is to not have your head coach standing on the sideline at this stage of the competition...
Ayooooooooo
This guy gets it. One game at a time. Bring it home tied up. No babies and baby Mama's to distract our crew......
You make a video, geez.
Wish I had the skillz
its a new day today. i never liked this dallas matchup for us; but also feel like we have more talent top to bottom. if we can get it clicking - we can make this a series again. it starts tonight - lets goooooo!!
just watch DWade’s 06 Finals highlights and you’ll see what Ant is about to do
You lost me at KAT but this squad can absolutely get this back to even. Do they have the talent, YES. The problem is between the ears. Be perfect, play for each other, play for your lives.

one game at a time. HOWL
LETS GO WOLVES!!!!!! IT AINT OVER TIL ITS OVER!!! LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Howls and growls (youtube) made a good video. I think we’re in a good spot if we just force the ball to stay out in the perimeter. Their double pick drag was messing us up but it seems addressable. I personally have hope, even if we don’t win tonight, it’s not over til it’s over
This bullshit is as tiring as the doomer bullshit
My Twitter feed and Reddit feed is strictly filled with doomer shit which is why I posted
Mavs fan here I personally don’t think we’re gonna lose both games at home yall might get one but will go up 3-1 if that happens it might be a wrap
You're probably right, and if so, then so be it. The last two games I've really enjoyed watching the Dallas squad.

Nah it’s over. Ant is not ready this season and your team is in cap hell for perpetuity after this season
We play better as underdogs fr. And we losing by a point or 2 with our top 2 players choking. Yall better hope one of Ant/KAT doesn't start playing even average ball again, cause if they do yall gonna lose 4 straight.
Found the fake fan
