What's 1 Reason the Mavs Won? (Then go comment "GO MAVS" on @LockedOnWolves channel)
Ant man too young needs to grow more Luka is him
Made those freebies!
Anthony Edwards just had to say the wrong thing about the wrong person days ago, and so Kyrie decided not to wait till the 2nd half to hit overdrive. AX, baby!
Edwards should call out Dwight Powell for game 2.. You never know 😂😂
Owning the paint
Shoutout to the Wolves for actually having pride in their defense and not just trying to injure our best players.
Don't worry that will be game 2. I'm fully expecting that trashy prison ball to be allowed from here.
Wolves would do it if they could. McDaniels is not built like Dort though.
@@Musso88Nah these guys aren’t dirty like that
@@Musso88 they played fair and clean all year long, they deserve their respect. Unlike the flopping-dirty OKC
Bro after the okc floppers this feels so peaceful
Lively is a foundational piece. I'm blown away. We absolutely stole him with the 10th pick. He's been this good all year. 🙏
He's by far the best inside player and defender in the NBA. Should've been DPOY and First Team. He will win 8 titles and shut down every opponent inside to 0 pts 0 rebs while Lively gets 15 pts 15 Rebs. 7 blocks every game and the stupid ny la minnesota Atlanta media still won't put him as First Team Defense
@@JimBrave-ri1ocI'm glad you agree with me.
He can be a great player and hof. He is 15% better than the beginning of the year. The best part is that he will be 20% better in 2-3 years. Kids still..well..a kid. Luka is still going to be getting better for 5-7 years as well. Kyrie is in his prime now and a smarter player than ever. We have an extremely bright future for the next few years. Whether we win a ring or not this year I'm very confident we will next year because we have all the main pieces we need, we could use a better bench and it wouldn't hurt to have another consistent 15-20 point starter with good defense. Getting Lively, Gafford, Washington and DJJ in one year is crazy and best case scenario.
Thank goodness we tanked that late regular season game vs the Bulls last year. If we beat the bulls we probably end up picking 11th and that pick goes to NY!!!
The best non star player rookies I can remember watching 15 years of NBA ❤
Luka block rejection on the crap lob attempt to Rudy in the last play of the game- and the JMcdaniels save attempt that Luka snagged were genius. Dude showed insane focus and defensive execution.
Doncic is quick
He's a true MVP he's right place right time for a reason he sees the game unfold right before his eyes it's beautiful to watch and Kyrie trade w adding more defense is exactly the recipe for the long haul he has accepted the fact NBA is different and recently accepted his role as well one man can't lead a team all the way in a team sport
Luka is just doing so great on defense! Luka's positioning on defense has been near perfect for most of the playoffs.
with a game IQ like luka his defense will be insane overtime
Glad Legler pointed these things out. For some reason most media heads fail to identify Luka’s all-around game.
Mavs went 16 of 17 from the FT line. Wolves went 11 of 18. We finally hit our FT’s!
It’s the little things tht are necessary if we wanna win the chip 🤞🏼
You have to wonder if Jokić giving Luka inside info. “You must avenge me Luka. “
Fuck I'm already up for work... Less than 2h of sleep... This gonna be a long day... BUT MAVS TAKE GAME 1 IT'S A HAPPY DAY
@@degengam2781 lots of Mavs fans in Europe dude
Good luck buddy, stay strong
@@degengam2781 I live in Spain my man 😂. Game finished at around 5:30am woke up before 7, the typical struggle for any european NBA fan. No regrets tho, that was an amazing game 1 by the Mavs
hehehe
games 2am, 3am, etc.
some sleep some, some none
@@Tarquin2718 Pretty fresh so far. Extremely locked in 💪🏻
I love how hardy capitalizes on his few minutes. I thought after last year that he would take the step to be that Tim hardaway flame thrower, but I don’t think that’s what they want him to be. I think they have him studying to be a mix between Luka and Kai. Training him to pass first and score when needed. Hardy has been coming out passing first and love it. It’s a small sample size. But the fact that exum nor hardaway can seem to be semi productive in their minutes, but hardy finds a way to do SOMETHING is amazing. I pray he locs in this summer. Focus on guard play and defense and he can be special. If they invest the time and effort they out in Josh into hardy, he will be something special. If not a baby Kai, then a Tim 2.5….. he can be special
Hardy would be a starter on the Timberwolves book it. DJJ and Hardy are earning bags right now. I personally think Nico wanted to play Exum as much as he could to resign Hardy on the cheap, but winning a chip is too tempting, so they have to play him. 4 assists in 9 minute is insane. Ant could not stay in front of him. In fact my buddy pointed out that Hardy was the most effective facilitator in the paint last night. He was the one who figured out if you put Ant on your hip and hesitate it opens up Lively. Then Luka just took off after seeing that.
I feel like Jaden Hardy deserves some recognition. Lately he has been making the right plays and not forcing anything. I'm glad he's getting some kind of minutes.
Facts ..it’s not easy to just come in and play in the playoffs after not playing for a lot of the season and for large stretches..he has a lot of confidence
Hardy would be starting on 3/4 of all NBA Teams including Minnesota. He has superstar written all over him. Kidd did say the Exum experiment is done and that for the remainder of the playoffs Hardy will be the reserve point guard.
Now imagine we hit more 3's and maybe just a ✨touch✨ more Luka magic. I feel much more confident after this win. Our defense had Ant huffin and puffin 😆dude was getting TIRED
These guys owned us in the preseason overseas, and I know we didn't have Gafford or Washington yet, but I was expecting a rough 1st game. Our defense and chemistry in general might just be enough to break their circuits though, whether our shots fall or no..
Yeah as always it is going to come, there will be a Luka magic game. Can't wait ❤
@@mikecuperus4980 that was a different team
This is a good matchup for Mavs. Watching this game made me appreciate how well OKC defended Luka.
As an OKC fan, thanks! Didn't help though! Good luck with the series I'm on the Mavs bandwagon now.
@@ctoaun23man I remember you, keep on thundering on! And thanks for the support, we'll get the chip!
The real good matchup is coming... that's Mavs vs Celtics
@@AMINOMMA Hahaha thanks, still Thundering on, I love that team. But for now it's Mavs all the way! If you can't beat them, join them. 😂
definitely, going to look back on that series as the real finals !
The Mavs are the number 1 defense!!!! 👊🤠✋
i was dreaming that i saw Luka on a game and i told him in the dream as a fan... if you don't believe you shouldn't be here. and Luka smiled :)
Even after Jaden McDaniels looked like prime Klay Thompson we prevailed!
welcome in Bled, Slovenia Slightly. go Mavs
The most beautiful background (Bled)..Slightly Biased you are a real refreshment, full of energy and ideas. Isaac Harris was dull and mumbled more than commented.
I didn' even notice 😁, thanks for pointing it out. S❤️enia!
You shoud wisit for real👍
Doncic was marvelous on defense
Lively has to guard luka doncic and kyrie Irving everyday in practice 😅
PJ & Gafford are the best trades I have seen in my life I think. The way and speed they bought into the team, how fast the team became one with them in rotation unbelievable.
Umm pau gasol for jarvaris criiten
Uhm Kyrie for DFS, Dinwiddie a first round and two second round picks was a pretty big steal too tbh. But I agree with you. Nico Harrison, legend
It got to the point where I said to my wife, If we can just hit 20% of our 3's we will win this game. This team is SOOO different from every others Mavs team I've watched.
If you don’t believe you shouldn’t be here 🎉
Slightly chillin in Bled is giga
...if you know you know
So slightly has Lake Bled for background, respect from 🇸🇮
Lake Bled for the background. Go Slovenian vibes 💪 Go mavs
😂
@@degengam2781 He's referring to Luka hahaha 🤣😂😂
Props to @BiasedSlightly for an extra mile by putting up lake Bled poster
I just watched luka box out gobert... Mavs in 6
When the first half ended with McDaniels 19, Slow Mo 11, Wolves ten 3’s while Mavs were 2-13, yet Mavs were down 3 - I figured they’d be fine
I knew Minnesota couldnt continue to shoot 56% from 3.
Glorious win. Love this team.
LET IT RIDE IN YOUR LIFE 🔥
I will never count the timberwolves out but man this looks promising. Our defense is holding up against the them. If we keep our defense up, and we can win this in 6 or even 5
as i always said you can not compare any player to MJ as MJ was a freak of nature his stamina was out of this world , Edwards tried to work on both sides of the floor against elite player look what happened
Kyrie took Ant's statement personally, comparing him to Murray. Now he got humbled.
And when Kyrie was not in there, Hardy was wearing him down, Ant had to be on defensively all game.
Best comment I read today: "Horses stomp Kat's and Ant's!"
Wiser words have never been spoken!
3/4 games Dallas has lost, the opponent shot over 45% from 3. Hell… the clippers went like 50% and 60%. My question is, how many games has Dallas shot over 45% from 3? Kind of seems like teams need to have a very ON night to just get a W against them.
Mavs in 4, after Ant's post game. He didn't give the Mavs any credit. He said it's all on them. So basically, the Mavs didn't beat them, they beat themselves.
Mavs aren't always going to shoot that poorly from deep. Nothing's a foregone conclusion, but we might actually get some rest in between the conference finals and the finals finals. Our defense has been consistent, if nothing else...
No, no, no. Mavs will not win this in 4. As much as Ant and the media may be dismissive, this Wolves team has a whole lot of grit. Also remember that this wasn't a knockout Mavs win, it was clutch. Like Slightly says, this series is going to take years off your life.
Mavs in 6 or 7
Don't overreact after 1 game 🤦🏿♂️. This won't be a sweep don't be delusional. We all want the Mavs to win
kyrie gonna have to teach him another lesson 😂
Slightly is in Bled...enjoying beer weird times 😂😂
Reasons for win
1. Kyrie becoming a phenomenal leader
2. Bulletin board material of media's hate for this team. Nobody picking the Mavs. (Don't want them to start now)
Mavericks and Doncics Defense
You an def see Kyries impact as a leader and mentor. Hardys game has become killer because Kyrie is taking time to work with him.
Mavs should stay agressive at game 2 ! Put the pressure on the wolves , i love jkidd adjustment after the first game 1 i belive they will take game 2 , and this is all in mavs hands from that point.
Free Slightly!
Man I love how cocky the t wolves are. It’ll make the next 3 wins that much more satisfying
I just love that they shut up the talking heads on TV who are all behind the Wolves. They will never learn. The intensity of Lively, Gafford, Jones, and PJ is insane. Those offensive rebounds were huge. The good thing is, they won against a team that did not play bad, had bad luck or a bad shooting night or because of the refs. They won by being the better team plain and simple. This could be a long series, though, cause the teams are pretty even.
the crazy thing in my opinion is how many more 3 pointers wolves made that us.. how often are the mavs gonna shoot like 24% from 3. if we would have shot our 3 point average.. game would have been a blow out. I know that is a fallacy, but dont see the mavs miss that many open 3s again
Agree… Even a close series will be in Mavs favor .. Luka and Kai live for the moment…
Locked on Mavs / Slightly Biased / Mavericks Digest are the best in the business that have great Mavs content …
It’s bed time 😭
ITS TIME TO LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE
Fr 😩😭 I couldn’t sleep because I was excited finally was about to and then bam here we are 🤣
The timing of Kidd's challenges were a little suspect, but it worked out and I felt like he coached a good game and came in with a great gameplan.
Nice picture of Bled!!!! Thanks!
Thank you Nick and Slightly for letting it ride i love when y'all are riding, especially when you let that thang ride right on beat everytime! The timing is sublime.
Best part of the show thank you sir, appreciate your consistency.
Pause 😂
plenty diddy
@@adangarcia2786resume
Ifyoudontbelieveyoushouldntbehere
Hardy can this years Spencer. Maybe not to the same minute level but being the 3 rd ball handler that can spark good plays and hit shots
Hes proving hes a better facilitator than Dinwiddie. 4 assists in 9 minute, Hell Ant barely does that in 40 minutes.
Luka is not 100% yet, but the Mavs won game 1👏👏👏 The version of this TEAM is something I truly love 💪💪💪
Nobody is 100%
Great win by the Mavs as they win their first Game 1 (first for Jason Kidd as the Mavs head coach) since the 2021 NBA Western Conference First Round! The Mavs are still undefeated against the Wolves all-time in postseason play! Nice!
Ant looked like he was about to puke them hot fries up in the 4th q
Yeah what happened to him? He will be better in other games. On the other hand a Luka magic game is right around the corner!!
Let's go Mavs!!!
Bravo (lets go) Slightly - Bled background nice!!! GOOOO MAAAAAVS!!!!!
The Mavs have 2 elite defenders to check their top scorers…the Wolves can’t check Luka with McDaniels, and Ant is going to flame out trying to check Kai. It’s a HUGE problem for them in this matchup.
Everyone on the team for The Mavericks has been elite defenders.
@JimBrave-ri1oc Everyone except for luka and kyrie, however they have been great defenders themselves so far in the playoffs. When luka and kyrie actually try to defend, they are VERY good defenders lol
It isnt just Kai and Luka, he was gassed chasing down Hardy too. He had no rest.
@@dustinbarlow1623 Very true
PJ and DJJ were fighting for their lives against Kat, Naz, and Golbert in the post and over screens.
Mavs winning game 1 just means Mavs in 5!!!
LET. IT. RIDE.
DLive outplayed Rudy! DLive’s defense is settling down and it looks like he’s learning perimeter defense from Maxi! If he keeps improving like this he’ll be a perennial DPOY if not for Wemby!
He's Always Been An Amazing Defensive Player!!!!!!!
@@JimBrave-ri1oc he used to get beat on the perimeter, jump more often on fakes and sometimes get lost on the defensive scheme. He’s always been a good rim protector.
Yeah, he always had good moments, now he is more consistent.
Dallas maverick best defensive team in the league
I've never seen a trade work out better than expectations
With kyrie ❤❤❤
Glad we won!! I almost lost it with Josh's careless plays! 😅
The crazy thing there is, no matter how many times I see that replay... There is no foul. He doesn't even touch him. That was the refs saying "oh shit. we didn't curve the odds enough"
Best show by far great job nick and GO MAVS
Go Mavs 😊🎉🎉🎉
Wolves are simply to slow. Glad I was right about that. Gobert, Conley, KAT, Slo-mo.... have such slow feet on defence. I expect more minutes even for Green and Hardy. They don't have the players to run with the Mavs. This could be a very short series.
Good call on Green and Hardy. Hardy showing a whole new Hardy
MAVS WIN! MAVS WIN! MAN WHAT A GAME!
shoutout nick for posting all of this amazing content
YESSS. Been waiting!!! Go mavs 🤩🤩🔥
My favorite thing to come out of this game was Luka starting to get actual recognition for his defensive effort
Let it ride!! 😎🦝
This mavs team is like the bulls of the 90s
Lake Bled... Nice.... ❤️🇸🇮
@@degengam2781you don’t have a clue!
Kyrie. Yup. Totally kept Mavs alive for the second half.
Slightly glasses are dope
Glad post game that Kidd said he is committing to Hardy for the rest of the playoffs as the backup point guard. 4 assists in 9 minutes of play is damn good. Wish we could find a way to play him more.
LUKA ON DEFENSE.
1. Watching Conley trying everything to shake him and Luka staying in front of him.
2. Luka getting UP to snag the lob to Rudy.
3. Luka stealing the save from out of bounds.
Job's not finished, but great game 1
Wolves fan here, congratulations to the Maverick fans the defense was great as advertised, Luka and Kyrie a championship superstars, great win. Nick, welcome to Minnesota, maybe you can catch a Rangers game too. I heard they moved the Twins - Rangers game to 6pm as both Dallas teams are in Minneapolis Friday night. As a Wolves fan, I'm encouraged. Minnesota was still up by 4 with 3 minutes to play, Edwards, Towns, and Gobert were terrible, and I'm looking at Mav's fans receipts after you lost Game 1 in both your playoff series this year. Adjustments will be made, I totally thought Wolves would sweep Nuggets after winning both games in Denver, but things changed making 7 games.
Hey slightly cool backdrop 😉 when are u guys coming to slovenia?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sligtly Biased background is lake called Bled....lovely vacation destination
Very important, also, to see that Kai is going to be a big problem to solve for them.
GO MAVS!!
BOUNCY CARS
Lol. That was funny.
Starting Gafford is smart, cause they get a feel of the refs calls and avoid him to be in fault trouble if they are calling everything
7 MORE WINS AND NICK SHOULD GET A JASON KIDD TATTOO ON HIS CALF
The Wolves don't know how to defend the Mavs. I didn't see this type of game with Clips and OKC.
Because unlike media has said both teams Mavs have beat are good teams.
Feels so good to win a WCFs game, hopefullly we are on the other side of a sweep this time
I love watching Nick struggle to give Coach Kidd credit. STAY MAD NICK!
Stop wanting them to mess with the lineup... things are rolling just let it roll. We need both plus Maxi to get it done.
Kidd should stop giving Exum minutes and give them all to Hardy. Exum doesnt know how to not be a train wreck in the playoffs.
1 reason: star power
Let's go Mavs 💙💙
LET'S GO MAVS!!!
Lessgomavss
The 2011 vibes are real y’all
WHAT A GAME. MAVS WIN. LET IT RIDE!!!!!!
Lively has been the 2nd best C in the playoffs.
Championship vibes 🏆
Great win.. If we cut of those 3 point shooting wolfs are done. They cant play in the paint
Totally 💯
I’ll take the 60+ points in the paint over corner 3’s every time!
Y’all got merch? Would be tuff if y’all had a shirt or a hat lol 🔥
Weird question but can we see Lively to have an Anthony Davis type ceiling??
I think next year they're gonna let him shoot threes
We gotta get that audio drop of Fresh & FIT angrily yelling "AGAIN!!" 😅
Slightly from Bled. GO MAVS!!
