It’s a real tough matchup for Minnesota. Everything Denver did to frustrate them offensively Dallas does better since the trade deadline, and the thing that decided this series was Minnesota’s ability to take away the post game and dive feeds of Jokic in the games they won. Dallas doesn’t rely on their post players for points or generation of offense outside of fast break and backdoor lobs. Dallas plays offense outside in and Minnesota won’t be able to pack it in and win.

Rudy Gobert will be a complete liability in this series, because he’ll spend most of his time either switched onto Luka/Kyrie on the perimeter or deciding between help side defense vs defending the lob. There are no post players for him to lock down this round, all of Dallas’ bigs and wing players are either athletic 3 and D guys or athletic post defenders and lob targets.
