I'm no fan of Gobert but I think he needed to be out there that stretch. Also if Minny's plan is to turn into the 2024 Celtics from 3, they might get swept.

He's just a better version of CP3 with size and athleticism from midrange. You can hate watching it but he's efficient.

I hope the lack of competition in the earlier rounds doesn’t end up hurting the timberwolves

I like it when SGA does it…

we all know why raptor fans like it...


Do Magic fans hate it because the ball actually goes through the net?

35% shooting for Minnesota
15 turnovers
28 points off turnovers given up
48 threes/shooting 31%

Not a recipe for victory.

Nobody liked it when Harden did it. Nobody liked it when Embiid did it. And nobody likes it when SGA does it. That's what the 'salt' is about.


I liked it when Harden did it.
