Whoever said that is a dumby, dude won me my fantasy league like 4 years ago
I don't think many people were saying Conley was washed up 7 years ago

Denver was the only team left that could have and IMO, would have beaten Boston.
Minny is a really bad matchup for Boston. Boston can't play big vs Minny, but Minny can play both small ball and twin tower lineups if they please. Good chance KP is just not gonna be effective/play as well
Wolves are playing the best ball in the playoffs, of any team. Celtics included.
Jrue & White will have to get the Js playing inspired ball or McDaniels/Ant/Gobert/Naz will outhustle them.

I don't know, this Wolves team presents a ton of issues for them, IMO.
I hope you're right.
Admittedly, I'm probably underrating the Wolves. As a long time NBA fan, it's hard wrapping my head around the idea that the Minnesota Timberwolves are a legit contender...lol.

Celtics haven't been tested, the East playoffs have been gross and disgraceful. It looks like Boston won't be tested until the finals, what a **** runway they have had. I definitely agree Wolves are the most impressive and battle tested team at this point.

It feels wrong to say but I think I’m rooting for Luka to show he’s one of the greats and win it all. Boston and Indy are annoying because they beat us, Minnesota fans root for the Vikings also so I think I’m out. Luka cries too much but he’s fun to watch on the big stage.

Ant is that dude. His personality shines through, future face of the league. I like Ant more than I dislike Minnesota the state

I can never root for a whiny baby like Luka
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Jokic giving up, sulking with his head down, and complaining about Ant's crowd waive down 7 with 30 seconds left was more offensive than anything Minny did.

Noo bro bouncing the ball like that and trying to dunk on the road vs the reigning champs in the closing seconds of game 7 is the basketball equivalent of dragging your nuts on someones face. It was funny but wtf was he thinking

11 ppg on 41% FG while being their worst defender isn't exactly great. It might be enough to win it this year though.

Wolves were not good until Conley came along to make them an actual basketball team, that's a dishonest argument

Would it not be very Minnesota sports to blow this and not win the title after what they just did?

For a few years Ant is the guy i would've wanted to somehow nab to pair with Giannis.
Hopefully Dame comes back better with training for offseason. This actual pairing can stIll be special in & of itself.

11 ppg on 43% shooting, 45% from three, 7 assists and 1 turnover a game, 5 rebounds, their worst defender but at 36 was still far from a problem.

New NBA fan here. I heard since last season that Jokic was the greatest player since Jordan why did he lose in the semifinals? I'll hang up and listen.

I do think next year is the big window for the bucks, we should be really good. Will rely on health as always, we will be ultra careful next year I'm sure.
