Let’s just say Jaden McDaniels had a feeling it was coming…
In a new angle of Luka Doncic’s game-sealing shot over Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves to take a 2-0 series lead, a closeup of McDaniels’ face began to go viral when the T’Wolves forward saw his teammate caught in the switch.
“This is why it’s a fallacy to always name a center as Defensive Player of the Year. They really can’t truly ‘guard.’ So they should have another category called Rim Protector of the Year,” said journalist Mike Missanelli.
“In the close-up shot it looks like McDaniels just exits stage left after he realizes they are about to lose,” Craig Miller commented.
“This is the funniest thing I saw Inna minute,” a user tweeted.
“Bro knew that switch was not supposed to happen lol,” a fan laughed.
“Everyone and they mama knew he was going after gobert because of them bad damn feet….” another person replied. “This why he a weird nba player to me cause he a 4 time dpoy and at the same time shouldn’t be on the court in this situation.”
“We have to start grading Defensive Player of the Year on something other than blocks.”

Minnesota heads home for Game 3 on Sunday night. A third loss to the Mavs would all but ensure that Dallas punches its ticket to the NBA Finals.
