Nobody wants to watch this team. :lol: Pairing Julius Randle with Rudy Gobert is just comical.

OKC is good. They beat the best Western team besides them in Denver. Give credit where credit is due

yeah we are good but it wasn't an elite offensive first quarter either. Very good defense but Minny missed a ton.
OKC also missed shots but they turned Minny over early and it got okc going. That's the difference in the 1st

I disagree, I greatly enjoyed watching Sofa destroy Fatty Luka Donkey, Lebum and the Loss-Angeles LOLakers in the first round!!!

They just scored 143 and 126 points against one of the best defenses ever.

Get out of here.

Credit OKC video analysts. They have figured out every Minnesota's tendencies and OKC players are just waiting for them to make their moves and picks off the balls. Finch and his staff WTH you been doing all this time?

Wolves are already off to cancun. They're just waiting for time to run out. What an ugly way to end the WCF.

Few things infuriate me more in the modern NBA than how really strong guards can guard bigs. It feels so wrong that a guy like Alex Caruso can be used to shut down guys like Randle and Jokic, it feels like cheating. I would prefer it if the NBA would let bigs actually be big and run those tiny dudes over. It's like a punishment for being bigger and stronger than the guard they throw at you.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.
