The Wolves are virtually locked into this roster next year with Randle and Reid radioactively tanking their value this series. They will surely be picking up their player options. Yikes.

Gobert cannot produce offensive rebounds.

"Best defense in the last 30 years"...let's just forget the Wolves have averaged 115 PPG this series.

Caruso is just a gamer man.

I love the lineups with Caruso, Wallace and Dort because the ball pressure is insane.

Randle and Reid have been horrible. It is too fast.

You need athletes against OKC

They are extremely humble, no cellys, they play the right way and they play hard.

And it's crazy that they are the youngest team in the NBA. Most young teams are immature AF.

It comes with the territory when you're a great team. If they were just a mediocre or up and coming team, nobody would be hating on them.

I can't believe OKC traded Giddey for Caruso, what a dumb trade.

Dude has hands of stone and has zero hops. Even when he gets his hands on a ball, he can't hold on to it. At least slap the ball out so someone else can grab it
