GS is twice the defensive team the Lakers were and it's not because of "size". GS isn't big themselves, but they do have much better individual defenders and schemes. Lakers' defense on the other hand starts Doncic and Reaves....

Playoffs are hard but Minnesota are making it too hard on themselves.

STILL waiting for Ant to have more than a good game here or there or an occasional highlight-reel dunk. Lotsa hype, not much backing to be the face of the league or a top-5 player.

Too in love with the 3s man. That last one he could have eye-brow faked into a wide open shot but just rushed it instead. Junk looks.

Kuminga's agent should sue Kerr

We made minny look way better than they actually were imo.

Randle has Gobert absolutely wide open in transition and opts to pass to a guarded Conley in the corner.

Similar kind of defense in that they pack the paint with strong forward types and don't have bigs. The difference is the undersized Golden State guys are actually good at backline defense (Draymond and Butler so much better than Lebron/Luka/Rui), and the Golden State guards are quicker. They aren't slow like the Lakers and Draymond gives you a real source of rim protection.

Gobert completely ruins the wolves offense.
