From Yahoo Finance:

Gas prices have come off their peak over the past month and are poised to fall a bit further over Memorial Day weekend as millions of travelers hit the road.

On Friday, the national average for gasoline stood at $3.61 per gallon, down $0.05 from one month ago, but $0.05 higher from a year ago, according to AAA data.

"Retail [gasoline] ultimately follows wholesale and wholesale prices have been slipping well below the numbers seen in the last three to six weeks," said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at OPIS.

If anyone else put up the numbers and the record that Doncic did this season, they would have been MVP.

There is some strange disrespect for Doncic.

He complains a lot, which probably doesn't help him.  The bottom line is Edwards and Towns haven't been good in this series. But what's most eye-opening is how great Gafford and Lively have been on both ends of the floor.  People can talk about analytics all they want, but going 23/29 from 2 isn't the same thing as going like 15/29 from three.  Why?  Because as far as I know it doesn't measure what happens on those 6 and 14 missed shots.  The other team is far more likely to get into transition and score on the other end on a missed 3 vs a missed shot inside the paint.

Lively/Gafford have also been way better defensively than Golbert/Towns.  Reid has been really good but none of Minny's bigs or Edwards are getting easy chippies.   Lively can also guard the perimeter, Towns and Golbert can't.  Minnesota is not winning this series if Dallas gets 10+ uncontested dunks per game.  They have to take that away and axe this "drop coverage".  If Luke and Kyrie each get 35 a game and are highly efficient you just tip your cap but you simply can't allow two players who only score at the rim to go 23/29.

SGA should’ve been 2nd no doubt about it.

Doncic should have been MVP. Jokic was equally deserving, but it should have been Doncic. It was an absolute crime for him to finish 3rd.

Edwards complaining about tired legs. Meanwhile Doncic is torching them with triple doubles with two injured legs.

Anthony Edwards hasn’t been bad, but he certainly hasn’t been great for about the last 5 games now.

True.  But the bigger problem is Dallas' bigs absolutely dominating.  14-16 with dunk, after dunk, after dunk.

Doncic is cold-blooded.  But that defense and switch didn't make any sense whatsoever.

If y’all want to read a savage review, google Washington Post STK. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a take-down like that, even for the likes of Burger King.
Can't read that because it's behind a paywall but I tried STK in Miami and it was just disgusting.  Horrible food, poorly prepared, and over priced.  Topped off by arrogant service.
