00:03 Timberwolf head coach Chris Finch.

00:05 He loves to fight in his team, getting this thing back to Minneapolis.

00:09 And something that we see coaches do now, I guess, Scotty, in every playoff series in the NBA,

00:14 he makes sure at the end of this clip to add in that little, "We want some calls next game,

00:20 because you didn't give us any calls in the last game." Here we go.

00:23 Yeah, I think we've been a resilient team all year.

00:26 We never lost three in a row until we got to the playoffs, so we never lost four in a row.

00:32 Guys respond. It's a fun team to coach because they believe that they can always win no matter what.

00:39 Chris, was the consistency of calls out there, is that what was bothering you?

00:43 How did you see the game?

00:44 Yeah, I thought it was a little inconsistent for sure. For sure.

00:48 As you won the game.

00:51 Yeah, so here's the deal. Here's how I see this.

00:56 In all honesty, this is helping the Boston Celtics more than anyone else.

01:03 The more games that the Mavericks have to play, the more of a disadvantage they're going to be at

01:09 against the deepest team in the league and the healthiest team in the league.

01:15 I don't believe that one game I'm okay with, that they're going to be fine if they win tonight.

01:22 They're going to be fine and everything will even out.

01:24 They lose tonight and have to go back to Dallas for a stressful game six,

01:30 which people will start saying, "Are you going to blow this?"

01:34 That's going to be the talk of the town is, "Are they going to choke and lose game six at home

01:40 and go back to Minneapolis for a game seven?"

01:43 They have to win tonight. If they lose two games to the T-Wolves,

01:50 I guarantee you that the Boston Celtics annihilate them in the final

01:55 because they're already three or four days ahead of them in rest

01:58 and they're getting Porzingis back and they're already the best team in the league.

02:03 They are. You can look at the Celtics' performance and the Mavericks' performance

02:08 throughout the season. They're just a better, deeper team.

02:11 You're giving them that much rest. If they lose again, the Celtics will win the final

02:17 as sure as I'm sitting here. If they win tonight, you still got the best backcourt final we've seen

02:24 since, I guess, Boston and the Lakers several times.

02:29 For me, Luka and Kyrie against Brown and Tatum is the most delicious final

02:35 in terms of talent in backcourt that I've seen in forever, in 25 years.

02:42 I'm telling you, if they lose tonight, they're going to lose the final.

02:47 If they win this series, no team's ever lost a 3-0 lead ever. It's not happening.

02:52 I still don't believe Dallas is losing this series. You know why?

02:55 Because they have Luka Doncic. I'm not even mentioning Kyrie Irving

02:58 because Luka Doncic is the one that's taking over games.
