However, Wolves beat themselfs, one of stranges playoff games i've seen.
Minny was up 26 in the first half blew the lead. They got up to around 25pt lead late in the 3rd and still lost. A really strange game. Minny showed complete lack of discipline and experience. And Memphis got exposed, amazing regular season but I thought their supporting cast has a lot to prove and they shouldn't have been down 20+ twice in the same game.
Memphis should find their wing creator, shotmaker as soon as possible if they want to be true contender.
Have no clue who that guy should be tho, some Paul George type
But imo, biggest Memphis issue right now is lack of self awarness, they won 60 games as defensive team, i know Adams had bad games, but you can't remove somebody who is pivotal for your defense in playoffs and just pretend you are same team.
Memphis is 18-3 without Morant mostly again- due defense, witch doesn't mean much since it's regular season, but it is still indicator that they win majority of games on defense, and Morant is crown jewl of their offense but also not as pivotal as his stats would suggest.
Minessota is blowing golden opportunity to knock them. By far strangest playoff series in last few years.
