WCSF Game 5, 5/14: Warriors at Timberwolves, 8:30 pm

[Neeva]

Wolves win the series and TNT idiots spend the whole postgame talking about the team that just got their asses kicked.

**** em, can’t wait for wolves to win it all and they talk about old ass Lebron right after.

[KGdaBom]

I apologize to anybody who was offended by me calling game at the end of the third quarter, but if we go into the 4th quarter with a 20 point lead at home in a series clincher I refuse to believe we can blow that.

You are free to say what you like but we had blown 20 point lead in much less time that 1 qtr recently

If there was zero chance of me being wrong it wouldn't be much of a call, but so far I've never been wrong. I'm sure I've called Wolves win over 50 times now.

[Dalvin]

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Eliminated both Lakers and Warriors in the same playoffs feels so good! The taste of the bandwagon fans' tears taste so sweet!

Hey Jimmy, you can't win without Curry!

[TimberKat]

It does nothing but add extra anxiety to every person who reads it and 21 points is nothing to a team that blew 25 point 2nd half playoff leads 3 times in one series just 3 years ago.

Stick to this formula:
10 + 2.5 X minutes remaining.

I am even more conservative, 4.3 per minute.

That's about 52 points to start the 4th and over 100 points at halftime? Do you also add the 10 points?

Yes, teams had scored 40 points in a qtr especially when the other team is not scoring (usually a lot of turnovers). Also I don't see teams leading by 50 often so no need to get too complicated. I don't add, but when it's closer to 4 mins, I really go by 4.5 because teams shoot so many 3s.

Good for you. I am glad you didn't call the Wolves vs Bucks game.

Why are we talking about “calling a game” when we just made the WCFs?

I mean who cares if some internet schmoe amuses himself by making some meaningless call?

Thank you. That's how I feel also. Some people might enjoy it too and those who don't should be able to laugh it off.

I mean I think it’s dumb and feels like a cry for attention, so I ignore it. I only chimed in because it’s taken over the thread…

[younggunsmn]

Whew. Such a relief to beat the smirk off the smug faces of Kerr, Curry, Green, and Butler.
WC Finals.

Not feeling great about how we played in this series but it feels great to win.
We lost the possession and free throw battles pretty badly all series.

I really don't know how much credit for that to give to the Warriors and their defense and compete level.
We outshot them 63% to 43% tonight and only won by 11 points.

Mike has been great all series and Julius's offense and intensity have gone up a level.
Naz was flat out bad.
Everyone else has another level they can find.

I think Shaq is right and Ant is going to have to take his game up a notch for us to win the next series.
I like that he is getting his teammates involved more in the first half of games, but all the sloppy turnovers have just got to stop because that is the fuel that OKC runs on.

There might not be a team in the league that it is more important to not turn the ball over against than OKC.

It's a signature. Not a cry for attention. It kind of was taking over the thread because YoungGuns went over the top criticizing me and I took offense to that and got confrontational. I sent YoungGuns an apology by proxy.

Ant was mostly doing a great job limiting his TOs before tonight. He had that stretch where he couldn't make a basket, but seems to have left that behind. It would be nice to see him step it up to 30 a game and still get the assists, rebounds and steals.

Dray is really sucking up to us in his post game interview.

Too late, choker!

Arooo my brothers!

[younggunsmn]

We were pretty beat up going into the Dallas series last year and played a game 7 to get there.
Mike, KAT, Ant all playing hurt.

Other than Ant's ankle it looks like we are pretty healthy this year and will have some extra days off.

Maybe that will be the difference.

[Note30]

ARROOO! Hell yeah just caught after getting off work.

[minimus]

Congratulations brothers, we are going to WCF!

[Isegrim]

WOLVES BACK

[FrenchMinnyFan]

2 years in a row.... history ! We are healthy and we have time to prepare the final. That's great. Randle have really been the superstar in this series, what a change compared to the first part of the season. ANT improve a lot but still have potential to get better Jaden have been excellent all series as well. Mike looks 10 years younger, he sleep half season but come to life at the right time. If we can get more consistency from Rudy ( offense part, his defense is elite), DDV and NAZ we have a chance. Go Wolves!

[theGreatRC]

Can't believe we're back!!

Rooting for Denver to win the series against OKC even though OKC vs Minny would be so fun to watch. Denver vs Minnesota would be the Wolves best chance at the finals
