2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (MIN leads 2-1)

[threethehardway]

Kuminga can't do basic stuff, which is why he sits.

Yes.. They sit an efficient 20ppg scorer who can cause turnovers on D.. on a team that needs offense

He can't even make entry passes.

Kerr knows Kuminga can score but Kerr is a defense first coach that has an offense system that requires smart ball handling and accurate shooting so Kerr can play the most defenders possible.

Why is Randle trying to score on Draymond?

Because it's working...

[76ciology]

Does finch run any kind of offense? Or is it just Ant and pray?

This is the playoffs. Its Alpha, spray, drive and dish.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Warriors need to make one more push next season for whatever there's left of Green, Curry and Butler in improving the roster. They still have it.

He’s trapping him for the Wolves to go to that set down the stretch

[WestbrookGOATed]

Draymond with 2 points and 2 rebounds in the 4th. GOAT.

[Calinks]

What’s up with this Butler III crap? Why is he just using the III now?

It's like when Mike Conley Jr. just stopped being called Conley Jr. out of nowhere.

STOP POSTING UP DRAYMOND

He has 4 fouls they trying to get him out

[Tracymcgoaty]

We're a very up and down team.
You're overreacting to us playing bad right now. We're only down 3 while playing like dog water.

I just dont see it with this minny team. I'd have thought they'd come out wanting to stomp on GSW knowing Curry is out. Instead what we get is Warriors looking like the better team.

I might be overreacting but it'll still remain shameful if Finch loses a series against a warriors missing their superstar. Should also question where the teams mentality is at.

We're the opposite of that. All season we showed up against the best teams, and then suffered humiliating losses to the worst teams in the league the next game.

We always come out looking very unserious when the stakes seem low. Immature team that let's their focus slip.

When Curry went down, I wasn't the only Minnesota fan that felt that was sneaky the worst thing that could have happened for us, haha.

How are the stakes low in the 2nd round when it's 1-1

Even if Curry is out if the mentality isn't there it's clearly a huge problem.

Charles Barkley would own Draymond in the post, I don't understand why players now cannot score over a 6'7 guy who cannot block their shot....

Charles Barkley is shorter than Draymond.

[2weekswithpay]

Now, Naz is trying to post on Jimmy.

[CelticSooner]

Both teams need this win now lol

[ImmortalD24]

Mr. Triple single coming through in the clutch

[Tracymcgoaty]

Draymond with 2 points and 2 rebounds in the 4th. GOAT.

I'd take him on the lakers all day.

[IG2]

Respect to Randle. Continuing his strong play from the Laker series all while going up against one of the GOAT defenders. Didn't think he would be able to.

Or.. and more likely.. they wanted to resign him on the cheap..

Strangely not a single Knicks fan tonight in this thread

Someone past away ?

Does finch run any kind of offense? Or is it just Ant and pray?

We run a drive a kick offense that usually starts with Ant drawing a double, kicking to Ju, collapsing the defense and using Jaden and Naz as tertiary drivers. What the Warriors have done to fluster us is guard Ant very differently. They're not showing him help early, and dared Ant to drive. Once Ant gets into the defense, they run late collapses aimed at cutting off his preferred playmaking reads. Draymond and Jimmy (but also Looney, Payton and a few other Warriors smarties) are really good at this.

Wolves want Randle attacking off the catch, but Warriors want Randle iso'd and static. The Warriors in general are doing a wonderful job of taking away the ways we live to initate offense.

The problem isn't our offensive system, it's that Golden State's defense is doing a beautiful job of busting our offensive system. Obviously it hurts to watch as a guy rooting for the Wolves, but I can't help but appreciate how smart Golden State is. We're playing against our dads and they know all our moves.

Charles Barkley is shorter than Draymond.

Yes and he could score over 7 ftrs. In the 93 playoffs the Lakers used two 7 ftrs to try and stop Barkley, Elden Campbell and Vlade Divac and they couldn't do it. Draymond would get worked by Barkley. He could finish with his left or right and had the strength to finish through contact......

[durden_tyler]

Will all boil down to Warriors 3 pt shooting down the stretch. If they can make those, they might survive this late takeover from Ant and Randle.
