Borrego is apparently in consideration for the Cavs job.

My God I wish lively would've played like this for Duke last year.

Kyrie Irving might be misunderstood, he might be a moron at times. But my God he's an amazing basketball player.

Man Ant has made some pretty brutal decisions in this game

Yeah espn should put a slight pause on the MJ hype train for a bit. He's been bad for 4 or 5 games now.

Holy **** **** Luke with that 3. How does Gobert get switched on Luka after a timeout?

Lol as soon as Gobert got switched on Luka and literally no one came to help it was done. Gobert tried but damn.

I dont know but I love it. Anthony Edwards is a great player but this damn MJ **** is ridiculous lol. Young man needs to be humbled

He's also looking exhausted out there walking up and down the court and he's 22. That's ridiculous.

It was Wolves bigs who wore down Jokic to win the previous series but Ant collected most of the hype.

Or Murray being pedestrian almost the entire series except for 1.5 games. I'm about tired of people talking about Murray like he's an elite player.

Last years playoffs Murray was amazing which probably started the conversation, this year he’s been disappointing when needed. Mpj was similar, he was so much more effective last year.

Sucks for the Wolves. Better to lose by 20 than two straight times like this on my homecourt. Sucks.

Odds are pretty good for PJ winning a title.

I don't trust the Celtics at all and the Wolves best player is too young/inexperienced.

Mavs are perfectly constructed with Lively Gafford and PJ down low and Luka and Kyrie. Still a win win trade for me but PJ couldn't have landed in a better spot and I'm happy for him. Always played hard for us. All I ever ask as a fan

maybe KAT will become available again. Dallas just too good

Post #939 » by **yosemiteben** » Mon May 27, 2024 2:54 am

KAT was comically bad tonight. Check this stat out:

ETA: Oof, this one's even worse...

KAT's never been a winner. If the Wolves are smart they move him this offseason (not to us hopefully lol) before they get locked in to this team with no option of improving. They have a great future but if they run it back they will be stuck and KAT isn't moving the needle much outside the regular season with his style of play.

It also appears as though the Wolves played their finals already getting past the Nuggets.
