00:00J. Y. We look back on this series. Dallas took a 3-0 series
00:06advantage now for the 156th time in an NBA playoff best of
00:10seven series. The team that held a 3-0 series lead has won
00:14all 156 playoff sets but Dallas was not the favorite
00:19entering this series. Unlike what we saw in the ECF, it was
00:23not expected to be a cakewalk for Boston like it was here for
00:27Dallas and they pull off the victory in only five games. The
00:31Mavericks were a plus 150 underdog outright to win the
00:35Western Conference crown before this series got underway
00:38against the T-Wolves. So, how surprised are you that Dallas
00:42won this series in five games? I'm I'm very surprised going
00:47into it but then you start peeling it back and you're
00:50wondering for a team like Minnesota, how much did that
00:54series versus Denver take out of them? Because they looked
00:58exhausted. They looked like they had tired legs and was
01:01not himself. Uh yes, he had performances and stretches
01:05particularly uh game number four in the second half when we
01:09talked about had the nine assists and went absolutely
01:11off but they didn't look like themselves and I think like
01:15when you have two guys in closed games and they're close
01:19games, you gotta start to tilt it towards that team and and
01:23that was my mistake uh and looking at it. I thought it was
01:27going seven. I thought it was Minnesota but Dallas has taken
01:31their game to another level. Uh the play of these two
01:33superstars but like I said, as much as we wanna talk about
01:36those two, we must give our flowers uh to the to the rest
01:41of that team. The Derrick Joneses, you know, the, you
01:44know, the Daniel Gafford, the PJ Washington, the Derrick
01:47Livelys. These guys have elevated their game and
01:52compliment these guys to the point now where they're going
01:55into the NBA finals. They're gonna get some rest too since
01:58it doesn't start till Thursday. It's gonna be a very
02:02intriguing matchup and I, if people think this is gonna be a
02:04slam dunk like Boston and five, I got news for you. This is
02:09gonna be a hell of a series in the NBA finals.
