It's funny how it's swapped in the Playoffs, because the Minnesota Timberwolves were the worst clutch team in the NBA during the regular season.

This is actually not true.

The Wolves had the most losses for most of the regular season, but that partly had to do with playing more clutch games than most teams.
2nd in clutch losses (26)
1st in clutch games (46)
t-12th in clutch wins (20)
24th in clutch win percentage (.435)

Come on, Klomp, don't let that kind of mess get you going..lol

My concern is if your T Wolves don't win this year that the roster will look different next season. Randle and Naz have player options, so will the T Wolves extend them both long-term?

Minny should pull out the series but they're struggling pretty hard to beat a Curry-less Warriors team. They're going to get dismantled by OKC....and at this point I won't even be that shocked if GSW finds a way to win this series.

No one reminds more of MJ than Antman. Not saying he is there yet, but i see a lot of similarities.

Enjoying Tim Legler's color commentary on this broadcast; he has some good insight into the game and players.

It might look different regardless. We can worry about that when we get there.

Has this been asked already why Podzemski has a black eye?

Great drive inside and reverse off the glass by Dray.

Warriors missed a huge chance in game 3. I don’t know how can anyone beat the wolves when they shoot like that.

At this point, I trust Connelly to make whatever moves necessary, he seems to have the magic touch at the moment.

I'm surprised Green didn't abuse the ring and backboard from moving away from his shot then.

nothing is his fault, so the airball must have been because of the goal moving.
