4 Mavericks got hysterically frustrated in unison at Maxi Kleber for being late to the huddle

Don’t be late to the huddle!

The Dallas Mavericks weren’t about to let forward Maxi Kleber miss out on a huddle during Game 4 of the Western conference finals on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In an absolutely priceless clip, Mavericks starters like Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington and Derrick Jones Jr. got briefly exacerbated with Kleber to the point where they all had to frustratingly corral him into a huddle during a game break.

When you’re playing at home and a game away from the NBA finals, you’ve got to make sure you’re brisk when it comes to huddling together with your teammates to strategize when you get a moment.

Kleber seemed to be a bit behind the ball here, and his Dallas teammates just weren’t having it. We’re not sure what he was doing before this, but we’re pretty sure he got the message.

Anthony Edwards shared a thoughtful, awe-inspiring mindset after gut-wrenching Game 3 loss

Anthony Edwards remains incredibly optimistic despite the Timberwolves facing elimination.

The Minnesota Timberwolves look absolutely cooked, but that isn’t stopping Anthony Edwards from staying positive, even when the sky is proverbially falling.

I won’t sugarcoat just how bad things look for the Timberwolves. They’re now down 3-0 in the Western Conference finals, and Luke Doncic likely whispered something diabolical to Anthony Edwards as the Mavs were running away with Game 3. IT’S BAD.

Still, Anthony Edwards isn’t panicking. Postgame, a reporter asked him how he remained optimistic despite now facing elimination. Here’s what Edwards shared with the media:

“I never think the sky is falling. I don’t know. I’m always positive — always happy. Been through the worst. So, the sky is never falling for me.”

This is the right mindset when it feels like nearly everything is going wrong. It’s part of what makes Edwards so good, and because of how well he is playing, the Timberwolves have had some absolute moments of brilliance during the Western Conference Finals.

At the very least, this should tell fans that Edwards won’t go down without giving it everything he has.
