All right, welcome on to a dunked-on that is, maybe some of that's going to have a tenor that maybe should have been anticipated a little bit more.

Dan had it in the daily dunks that this situation is relatively rare in

NBA history where a team without home court advantage has gone up three

games to zero. It happened six times previously that that team went up three games to zero and then lost game four at home and in

three of those six times actually the team had won on the road to close it out in five

which is very rough the Thibode, as we've dubbed it, is very rare that the road

team wins in five, and then two of those series went six, and then of course the one that went

seven was last year's heat beating Boston and of course no team has ever

come back from 3-0 and Luke Adonchich we had noted that maybe he would look at the

film at game for me like you know what I had some chances to take shots that I didn't

take advantage of but I didn't expect this from him in that first quarter even

considering that he had averaged this crazy number 34.8 points in the playoffs after a loss.

Luca's first quarter was absolutely incredible.

The overall stats on it. 20 points on 8 of 11 from the field 4 is 6 from 3 also had two assists so he scored or assisted on 10 of Dallas's 14 made baskets and some of those were ridiculous highlights including basically a

logo 3 he was drilling jump shots and something you brought up actually during the

second quarter but I think it's a part of Lucas first quarter as well is that this was not the Minnesota's from Wolves again the number one defense in the NBA during the regular season giving Luca his to take away everyone else.

At many moments in time throughout the first half,

Minnesota was aggressively sending extra people,

Luca's way, and it didn't affect him in the slightest.

He was just beating, he was just beating the extra

attention rather than passing it through his teammates because he was making the shots and

why didn't need anybody else to do it? That's that's exactly right and it's this trope to say, oh, we came out more aggressive, we didn't come out aggressive enough, we got to come out more aggressive.
