Wolves gotta have like an 80 oRTG when Gobert is on the floor. He is unplayable in this series

Wolves need more of these hard fouls.

SGA and the OKC starters were good tonight, and the Minny bench was mostly good.

Still not sure that a team with an 8 man rotation can beat OKC.

Why not? I think OKC's depth to 10 guys is a little overrated. There's diminishing returns in a shortened sample size.

It helps in the postseason, but the main benefit is in the regular season to get to 68 wins

I don't agree. I think that the shorter rotation teams end up getting worn out against OKC. We'll find out I guess.

Denver got worn down over the course of the series.

Denver had like 3.5 good players

Chet needs to learn how to fall.

I said it in the Denver series forum that the Denver series would be the toughest Western conference team OKC will face.

Mommy is not a good matchup unless Ant goes God mode

Better rebounding than they’ve done all year

**** OFF WITH

1. THE AI RECAP OF PLAYS

2. HOT RED CIRCLE AND COLD BLUE CIRCLE TRACKING AROUND PLAYERS.

3. THE COMMENTATORS PUSHING BOTH ABOVE.

IT'S **** DISTRACTING AND INSULTING. FANS AREN'T IDIOTS. THEY KNOW THAT IF A GUY IS SHOOTING 8/9 OR WHATEVER HE IS 'HOT'. LIKE WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN NEMBHARD WAS 'HOT' WITHOUT THE RED CIRCLE AS COMMENTATORS JUST STATED?

****. OFF. SHOVING. THIS. DOWN. OUR. THROATS. AND. USING. VIEWING. FANS. AS. FREE. TESTERS.

P.S. WE PAY FOR THIS ****.

Is that what you're seeing from the NBA league pass? that's pretty insane.

Yes. Do you recall when NHL did its puck tracking thing so newer fans would know where it was and there a **** STREAK of colour across the screen? This is the level it's at.

LOL YES! That what I thought of when you wrote that. Christ. that's horrible LOL. They should do that for kids on disney channel for instance. Not league pass which is for hardcore viewers.

OKC just doing all the dirty work right now, that's all hustle

EDIT- Randle with 2 points...that's not a good formula to winning.

Blatant shove in the back from Gobert on that offensive rebound. Nice to see him double his points for the series with that dunk tho

Marvin Martian · Post #311 » by **Marvin Martian** » Fri May 23, 2025 2:06 am

Gobert is just a step slow on everything

Your best player needs to grow up. Too much kid in him still, once he does though. Championship

What guarantee is there that he will? Or even any evidence he will? Some players never do. Being flashy and being able to dunk really well are no guarantee that you'll be a great basketball player. I've heard for about 3 years now how great he is and still haven't seen it.

Rudy is useless on offense this game unless he’s fouling

He should get to do that. He gets fouled basically on every rebound he grabs

Randle had a lane to the bucket last drive. He should've gone for it.
